Materials :: Door Frames
Albany Door Company offers four different types of frames, each of which comes customized to fit your projects needs.
Steel 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.
