Mesker hollow metal doors install easily
Our innovative hollow metal door is so versatile that you avoid problems that may arise with other products. All hinge reinforcements are 3/16 inch steel projection-welded to door edge at three points above and 3 points below the hinge mortise. Both N-Series and 14 gauge hollow metal doors have 16 gauge top and bottom channels welded to door skins on 4 inch centers. All 1-3/4 inch doors have factory-installed box type closer reinforcements to reinforce both sides of door. Standard hardware mortising for 1-3/4 inch doors are 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch template butt hinges (3 per door in 6'-8", 7'-0", and 7'-2" sizes and 4 per door in 7'-10" and 8'-0" sizes) and either government 86 or 161 series locksets. Mesker hollow metal doors are also mortised, drilled and tapped for other mortised hardware as required and reinforced for surface applied hardware.
