ASICO Metal Frame product is constructed with regard to joint designs and welding techniques or Knock down 3pcs frames (KD structure including strike jamb, hinge jamb and head). Prior to shipment mark frame product with an identification number as shown on approved submittal drawings.
 

KD Frame:

A KD or Knocked Down hollow metal frame (slip-on frame) is used for interior applications and comes in 3 pieces (strike jamb, hinge jamb and head). The KD metal door frame is designed to be installed after the stud wall has been built and drywall applied, as it wraps the wall. For use with metal or wood doors.

Welded Frame:

Generally it has two options of face welding and a full profile welded frame.

Face welding is weld applied only to the face of the frame, usually at the 45 degree joint. The full profile weld is applied to the full contour of the frame at the intersection of the head and the jambs. Since most manufacturers can fire rate their frames knocked down (in 3 pieces), welding is not required and is usually for cosmetic appearance and ease of installation.
