Choosing jamb depth

Step-by-step guide

1. 1Identify whether the wall is stud and drywall, block or masonry, or another construction.
2. 2Measure the finished wall thickness rather than only the stud or block.
3. 3Select the frame family that matches the wall construction.
4. 4Verify nonstandard finishes, tile, or existing conditions with Doors & More before ordering.

Guide notes

Jamb depth follows the finished wall thickness and the type of frame. Drywall and masonry frames use different anchors and profiles. Measure all finished layers and flag unusual conditions so the frame can be reviewed before ordering.
