Dimensions of the individual suitable door frame profiles:

 

Left, right and top frame profile:

As already mentioned in various previously considered configuration steps, two different profiles are available for the top and the right and left sides of the door frame. The standard profile is 100mm wide x 100mm deep, thus a square profile. For direct fastenings, i.e., without using mounting lugs (step 7), the fastening is done in the middle of this 100mm profile, i.e., at 50mm.

Also covered by the certificate is a narrower special frame profile with a width of 60mm and a depth of 100mm, which is available at an extra charge. This can be used in the door frame at the top, on the right, and on the left side.

With the narrower special frame profile, the door opening dimensions can be increased by 40mm each, given the same outer frame dimensions. This is a valuable option, especially for smaller wall opening dimensions, as it permanently contributes to greater comfort.

You can plan the narrower special frame profile for the entire frame or individually for one or two of the three possible sides. For example, a variant with right and left standard frame profiles of 100x100mm and a special frame profile at the top of 100x60mm is also possible (which in this case would increase the passage height by 40mm).

Let's look at this in the picture:

This photo shows the use of the standard 100x100mm profile on the right and left, and the narrower 60x100mm special frame profile at the top. The top dimension was limited by the installation box; by using the special frame profile at the top, the door opening dimension was increased by 40mm.

It should be noted that for direct fastenings, i.e., without using mounting lugs (step 7), the fastening is also done in the middle of this 60mm profile, i.e., at 30mm. Depending on the masonry (material, quality of the masonry, plaster), this dimension may be too small for direct mounting to ensure a permanently stable anchoring of the door in the masonry. In such a case, we recommend using mounting lugs (step 7), as the anchoring points will shift outwards by 50mm (30mm frame plus 20mm mounting lug). Because the mounting point shifts, a more stable hold can be achieved. However, this only applies to the two side profiles; no fastening is made in the top profile, so this aspect can be disregarded for that part.

The use of the special frame profile is suitable in many spatial situations. However, we expressly recommend contacting us briefly in advance; we will gladly review it and provide assistance so that the door is perfectly planned.
