What must you be aware of when shipping a frame that is smaller than 4″?


One header will no longer work for both 1 3/4" and 1 3/8" uprights. You must ship either 1 3/8" or 1 3/4" header to match uprights.

Is the Timely throat size the same as the call out width?


Yes, because unlike hollow metal frames, Timely frames do not have a return.
