Custom Stainless Steel Door Frames
Coordinate custom stainless steel door surrounds with the wall opening and interior finish. Drawings define return depth, corners and concealed or exposed fixing details.
Typical Applications
- Hotel room door surrounds
- Retail entrance interior frames
- Residential decorative door reveals

Material & Finish Review
Materials
- 304 stainless steel: review indoor exposure and cleaning.
- 316L stainless steel: assess exposed or chloride-prone locations.
Finishes
- Brushed finish with agreed grain direction.
- Polished or PVD finish assessed against adjacent surfaces.
Selection Considerations
- Measure the wall opening and finished return depth, including wall coverings.
- Review corner detail and fixing access before selecting a frame assembly.
- Show grain direction on elevations so heads and jambs can be coordinated.
Drawing & Fabrication Workflow
Review the opening schedule
Compare elevations, wall sections and door interfaces.
Develop frame details
Coordinate returns, corners, fixings and surface references.
Agree the supply scope
Confirm frame modules, inspection criteria and packing by opening.
For Contractors & Installers
- Confirm the wall substrate and fixing access.
- Coordinate clearances with the door and hardware supplier.
- Identify visible joints and installation sequence on drawings.
Image Context
Fabrication process: CNC V-grooving equipment provides forming context for door frame details.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the frame size determined?
Review the finished opening, wall build-up and required clearances rather than relying on a nominal door size.
How should corners be specified?
Compare joint appearance, installation access and module size before agreeing welded or assembled corner details.
Can these frames be used on a rated door assembly?
Review the specified door system and its required documentation with the responsible project specialist before including decorative metalwork.
