Albany Door Company offers four different types of frames.
18 gauge steel replacement frames
Frame Saver® wood frames
Adjustable Steel frames (FAST-FAME®)
ABS frames.
Each of these frames come customized to fit your projects needs.
Replacement Frames
The 18 gauge steel replacement frame is designed for an extremely easy install. It is purposely
undersized to retrofit onto the existing frame. Basically, you just pop it in place and attach it with
a couple screws. Technical information can be found
here.
New Construction Wood Frames
The Standard wood frame we use on our new construction units are known as
Frame Savers®.
These frames are one of the most exciting additions to the Albany Door product line because
they are guaranteed for life. In addition to this offering, we also offer fir and oak. The
Frame Saver®
frames can also be purchased as a fire rated frame. Fir jambs can sometimes be an
ideal alternative to oak because of its less expensive cost and similar pronounced grain.
New Construction Metal Frames
FAST-FRAME's advanced design adds a new dimension of flexibility and durability to our entry
door line. Developed and manufactured by Timely, FAST-FRAME® features a full 1" of adjustability
to accommodate almost any variation in wall construction. This easy-to-install, user-friendly,

thermal and fire resistance. Technical Information can be found

New Construction ABS Frames
One of our newest most exciting additions to our product line is our ABS material. Rot free, durable,
and virtually trouble free, are just some of the reasons why we are proud to feature this brand new product.
ABS is classified as a thermoplastic and is known for its good shock absorbance.
