Typical sizes (or depths) for a jamb are 4 ½” for 2×4 framing and 6 ½” for 2×6 framing to allow for drywall and exterior siding.

The Benefits of Iron

Security & Durability

Iron doors take security to the next level. Our doors are certified to meet some of the strictest hurricane wind ratings and Florida building codes. From our 14-gauge steel door panels to the steel barrel hinges, each one is built with integrity—down to every weld.

Minimal Maintenance

Clark Hall doors require minimal maintenance to preserve their attractiveness and functionality. For comparison in the industry, typically wood doors carry a 1 year warranty as long as there is adequate coverage. Wood doors without coverage often carry no warranty at all. Our doors come with a 10 year product warranty on the structure and function and a 5 year warranty on the finish. Review our warranty on to see what else is included.

Bespoke & Valuable

Every door is made specifically for you, and goes through extensive detailing before it’s installed—including a 7-step automotive grade finishing process. These fully-custom iron doors also increase your curb appeal and home value. Various realtors and remodeling magazines show that upgrading your front entryway has one of the highest cost recoup percentages when compared to other home improvements.
