Mesker Door Inc. manufactures drywall frames from 16 gauge cold rolled steel, not 18 or 20 gauge. This unique offering means extra strength, and insures the integrity of interior openings. Heavier interior doors can be specified with Mesker 16 gauge drywall frames, which can be installed in 4 to 5 minutes. Mesker Drywall Frames cost no more than most other lighter steel drywall frames.

All Mesker drywall frames have an adjustable jamb lock located at the top of each jamb. This locking system rigidly anchors the frame in the opening, and connects the header unit in a precisely mitered joint using all of the main features of our standard frame corner. As in the standard frame, all bends are clean, and the mitered corners have the strong 4 point holding system with offset tabs that disappear when the frame is installed.

Corners: Clean, sharp mitered corners provide a smooth, attractive appearance.

Lock Down Tabs: Strong four-tab holding system in each corner provides the necessary strength.

Anchoring: Adjustable jamb lock for secure anchoring. Additionally, two dimpled holes at the base of each jamb stabilize the frame at installation.

Plaster Guards: Factory installed plaster guards on all hinge and strike reinforcements.

Strong Reinforcements: 14 gauge strike reinforcements projection welded to frame. 3/16 hinge reinforcements for 1 3/4 frames.

Fast Installation:  Average installation time - 4 to 5 minutes. Large selection of profiles from 3 5/8 to 12 3/4 in 1/8 increments.

Standard Labeling:  Factory Mutual and Underwriters Laboratories embossed labels are standard. Warnock Hersey (WHI) Labels are also available.
