Hollow Metal Drywall Frame

The Hollow Metal Drywall Frame is ideal for drywall environments. In this type of application, the frame encases the entire wall so the studs should already be covered by drywall or sheetrock before installing the frame. The wall’s dimensions are referred to as the “jamb size,” and the part of the frame that wraps around the wall is known as the “throat” of the hollow metal frame. The rough opening needed is the nominal door width + 2” and nominal door height + 1”. For example, a 3’0” (36″) x 6’8” (80″) door would need a rough opening of 3’2” (38″) x 6’9″ (81″).
