Rough opening size, welded frame: Take the nominal door width and add 4 1/4" and the nominal door height and add 2 1/4". Keep in mind that on a 3070 door, the nominal measurements are 3'0" x 7'0" while the actual measurements are 2' 11 3/4" x 6' 11 1/8".

Read More »Below left is a steel stud anchor (SSA). This is similar to the USA, except you screw into the anchor from the back of the stud rather than wrapping the tabs around the stud like you do when you are using the USA's. Both USA and SSA are used in welded frames and both are installed in stud walls (metal or wood studs) before the drywall goes up. On the right is a Z-Clip anchor. This is welded into the back of the frame...the USA is almost always sent loose as a snap in anchor. The SSA is also sent loose as a snap in, but some specs call for welded in steel stud anchors so these are used both ways. If you are installing the frame in a poured concrete wall, it is usually set in place and the wall is poured around it. Base anchors come as standard in welded type hollow metal frames. These are welded or screwed into the bottom of both jambs. The base anchors have holes pre-drilled so you can fasten the frame to the floor. In new block walls, the frame is fastened to the floor at the base anchors and either wire masonry anchors or T anchors are used. These are supplied either 6 or 8 to a frame and simply clip into the inside of the frame behind the single backbend and are laid in between the rows of block as the wall goes up. If you are installing the frame in an existing block wall, it will need to be "punch and dimpled". There is either 3 or 4 holes per jamb, 3/8" diameter, punched and countersunk in the jambs and either 4" or 5" (5" is the standard) redhead sleeve anchors supplied. You then set the frame in the opening, drill through the holes into the block with a 3/8" masonry bit, and screw the sleeve anchors in. There are anchors welded in the back for support of the frame and to keep the frame from expanding out (mushrooming) as you screw the redheads down. These anchors can be pipe sleeve anchors (left), butterfly anchors (center), or hat anchors (right).

Rough opening size, welded frame: Take the nominal door width and add 4 1/4" and the nominal door height and add 2 1/4". Keep in mind that on a 3070 door, the nominal measurements are 3'0" x 7'0" while the actual measurements are 2' 11 3/4" x 6' 11 1/8". Using a 3070 door as an example, the rough opening size for a welded frame would be 3' 4 1/4" x 7' 2 1/4". Since the standard face on a hollow metal frame is 2", the outside dimensions of a 3070 welded frame will be 3'4" x 7'2" so this RO dimension will give you 1/4" of "play". If you are installing a welded frame into a fire rated stud wall, remember that the drywall will have to extend at least 1/2" into the frame so you can not simply butt the drywall up to the frame at fire rated openings. On non-rated openings you can run the drywall down to the frame or caulk the seam if it is going into block. On a 3068 door, the nominal measurements are 3'0" x 6'8" while the actual measurements are 2' 11 3/4" x 6' 7 1/8". Using a 3068 door as an example, the rough opening size for a welded frame would be 3' 4 1/4" x 6' 10 1/4". Since the standard face on a hollow metal frame is 2", the outside dimensions of a 3068 welded frame will be 3'4" x 6'10" so this RO dimension will give you 1/4" of "play".
