Application-Focused Overview

• Wall Type: Steel stud framing with exterior veneer claddings (brick, stone, stucco/EIFS, fiber-cement, metal panel)
• Use: Exterior entrances, service doors, and egress points in commercial & institutional projects
• Envelope Coordination: Works with sheathing, air/water barriers, flashing, threshold, and perimeter weather seals
• Handing:LHR (Left Hand Reverse)

Compliance & Listing Options

• NFPA 80 fire-rated options with UL/cUL labels when supplied and installed as acomplete labeled assembly (door, frame, listed hardware) per UL procedure.
• ADA & IBC alignment: clear width, approach, operable parts, and closer force/speed when properly adjusted.
• Hardware readiness: Factory preps available for ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 closers, hinges, and locks/exit devices.

Note: Standard insulated cores are non-rated. If a fire label is required, specify afire-rated core and listed components to match the UL listing and AHJ requirements.

Door Construction

• Skins:18-gauge galvannealed steel (A40/A60) for superior paint adhesion; supplied Prime Gray for field topcoat
• Core: Insulated by default; fire-rated core available per specification/listing
• Edges & Reinforcements: Interlocked edges with reinforcement plates at hinges, lock/exit device, and closer
• Exterior Readiness: Pair with threshold, drip edge, and perimeter weather seals per project conditions

Frame & Attachment – Exterior Steel Stud Wall

• KD (knock-down) punch & dimple frame designed for stiffness, consistent reveals, and clean inspection
• Screws included for attachment to steel studs (use shop drawings for spacing and edge distances)
• Façade Integration: Coordinate with veneer, sheathing, and air/water barrier continuity; use backer rod & sealant and flashing at perimeters
• Factory strike and silencers located for LHR handing; clearances set for first-time fit

Performance Advantages

• Envelope-friendly: Details support proper interface with veneer and weather barrier systems
• Spec-grade durability: 18-ga steel skins with robust hardware reinforcements
• Inspection-ready: Code-aligned design and labeling options minimize RFIs
• USA Made: Consistent quality with 3–4 week standard production
