Door framed steel walls involve creating an opening within a steel-framed wall to install a door. The steel framing members around the door opening are typically composed of a header at the top, cripple studs above the header, king studs on the sides, and a sill or threshold at the bottom.
The header distributes the load around the door, while king studs support the header and maintain the structure's integrity. Cripple studs help transfer loads from the header to the surrounding structure. The precise assembly and alignment of these components are crucial for ensuring the door functions correctly and that the wall remains stable and secure.
Steel Wall Door Frames are constructed with 2.5” (6.4 cm) added to the height of the door opening and 1” (2.5 cm) added to each side of the door opening. Steel Walls are built with stud depths of 3.625”, 5.5” (9.2, 14 cm), stud spacings of 12”, 16”, 24” (30.5, 40.6, 61 cm), and common overall heights of 8’-12’ (2.44-3.66 m).
