What is the difference between a rough opening and a finished opening?

  • Rough opening is the clear opening before any trim or finish work is done
  • Finished opening is the clear opening after all trim and finish work has been completed

What is a frame?

A frame (also called a jamb), is used to finish off a rough cut opening in the wall and make it into a finished opening.

Do I need a new frame for my project?

If you already have an existing steel or wood frame it can more than likely be reused. We would simply need to know the measurements of your existing door frame. If you don’t have one we can provide one with your swinging door.

What types of steel frames are offered?

Depending on your application we offer both paintable and stainless steel frames. For larger industrial projects we offer C-channel and self-supporting tubular frames with powder coat paint.
These are the different Steel Frames we offer

  • Hollow Metal Frames
  • C-Channel Frame
  • CK-Hollow Frames
  • Tubular Steel Frame

What are the benefits of purchasing a steel frame from Paylon?

Our steel frames (paintable or stainless steel) are designed to wrap the wall to alleviate trim work and they are pre-drilled and prepped for hinges (making the door installation much easier).

Testimonials

"PAYLON had the quality that was lacking with our previous industrial door supplier. We run a fortune 500 company that relies on zero downtime. The PAYLON industrial door system just lasts longer and is made of better materials. I informed purchasing that if its not from PAYLON, then we don't want it!" - Fred Dixon 

"The PAYLON restaurant doors look great! No one was as helpful or as knowledgeable as your staff and that was a big deciding factor for us. When the restaurant doors arrived the installation was flawless. We now have a restaurant door that we can be proud of and that will last for many years." - Jackie McGarb

"THE BEST!!! Hands Down!!. The doors have stronger build and the steel is the best quality that we have seen. The service is also top notch and we have answers to our questions instantly. You can tell this is a well run company and they have taken care of all the projects that we have thrown at them." - Mike Richards
