Specialty Openings - Cased Openings

What is a cased opening?
A frame without embossing for hinges or strikes. It is used to finish an opening where no door is required.

If a customer asks for a cased opening, we need to ask him which type he wants. What are the two types of cased opening frames we manufacture?
Cased opening WITH STOP and cased opening WITH NO STOP.

When is a cased opening with stop used?
For bi-fold doors where the stop acts as a moulding to conceal the track and the spaces at the walls.

Sometimes cafe doors or double acting doors are used in a no stop cased opening. What do we recommend?
Since flush mounted double acting hinges will be used, a TA-25 reinforcement bracket behind each hinge is required.

Can you emboss a no stop frame for a strike?
Yes, either a T-Strike or an ASA-Strike.
