Metal Door Frames — Precision, Strength & Compliance for Every Project
At BF Door Manufacturing, our metal door frames are engineered to deliver reliable strength, longevity, and compliance for residential, commercial, and industrial builds throughout Sydney. Whether you require fire-rated or non-rated frames, we provide high-quality steel solutions tailored to your specific project.
As trusted metal door frame specialists in Sydney, we combine local manufacturing, custom sizing, and strict quality control to ensure your doors perform, now and for decades to come.
Built for Strength, Built for Performance
Metal door framing offers far more than visual appeal. It provides resilience and reliability where it matters most.
Why Our Frames Outperform Traditional Timber Options
- Stronger and more impact-resistant
- Less prone to warping, swelling, or movement
- Suitable for high-traffic zones and demanding environments
- Ideal for fire stairwells, plant rooms, service areas, and secure locations
- Clean, professional look that complements modern interiors
Our frames can be used during construction or retrofitted into existing structures, making them a practical solution for upgrades, refurbishments, and staged builds.
Flexible Options: Fire-Rated and Non-Rated Metal Door Frames
Fire-Rated Metal Door Frames
When fire protection is essential, our frames provide the strength and compliance required for certified doorsets.
Features include:
- Zinc-coated steel, stainless steel, or galvabond construction
- Custom rebates are manufactured to precise specifications
- Compatibility with fire-rated door leaves, seals, and hardware
- Options for welded, knock-down, or primed finishes
These frames are ideal for fire stairs, exits, lift lobbies, and any area requiring compliant fire separation.
Non-Rated Metal Door Frames
For general applications, our non-rated metal door frames provide durable, visually appealing, and long-lasting performance. We also manufacture custom metal door frames to suit any width, height, or wall thickness required for your project.
Features include:
- 1.1 mm zinc-coated steel
- Custom-made to suit any width, height, or wall thickness
- Prepared for hinges, locks, closers, and seals
- Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial projects

Why Our Custom-Made Metal Door Frames Stand Out
Quality Service
With decades of experience, we’ve built a reputation for accuracy, quality, and dependability. Our team handles projects of all sizes, from single residential orders to multi-building commercial packages, while maintaining the attentive service our clients value.
Tailored Solutions for Every Building
No two walls, openings, or hardware sets are the same. That’s why every frame is made to order. We customise wall type and thickness, configuration and door handing, hinge and lock striker prep, frame gauge and material, profile and fixing method, and welded or knock-down construction.
Your frame arrives ready for installation, built exactly as your site and schedule require.
Applications — Where Our Metal Door Frames Shine
- Commercial offices and strata-managed apartments
- Hospitals, aged-care facilities, and healthcare buildings
- Educational buildings: schools, universities, campuses
- Residential developments and multi-unit dwellings
- Industrial facilities, plant rooms, service entries
- Fire stairs, exit routes, and compliance-critical zones
No matter the application, our frames support both fire-rating requirements and everyday wear and tear.
What to Consider When Ordering Metal Door Frames
Wall Type
Masonry, blockwork, stud wall, or concrete — determines frame profile and fixings.
Finished Wall Thickness
Critical for accurate frame sizing and door alignment.
Frame Gauge & Material
Options include zinc-coated steel, stainless steel, and galvabond.
Hinge Preparation
Determine how many hinges are required based on door height and weight.
Striker Height
Standard is 1032 mm from the finished floor to the centre of the strike.
Frame Dimensions & Profile
Specify height, width, throat size, and rebate configuration.
Fixing Type
Choose from welded, dressed & primed (WDP) or knock-down (KD) frames for on-site welding.
Door Thickness & Rating
Impacts hinge type, rebate depth, and compliance requirements.
Door Handing
Stand facing the push side of the door:
- Hinges on the right → Right-handed
- Hinges on left → Left-handed
Understanding these details ensures flawless manufacturing and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between fire-rated and non-rated metal door frames?
Fire-rated frames are constructed and tested to meet standards for fire resistance and must be installed with fire-rated doors and compliant hardware. They help contain fire, smoke, and heat for a specified period. Non-rated frames offer structural support and durability where fire resistance is not required — for general internal or external doors.
Do metal door frames need special installation when used in fire-rated walls?
Yes. To maintain fire compliance, frames must be installed according to the tested configuration, including correct wall type, back-filling (if required), and fitting fire-rated doors and hardware. Any deviation can compromise the fire performance of the doorset.
Can you manufacture frames for different wall types?
Absolutely. We supply frames designed to suit masonry, blockwork, stud walls or concrete — each tailored precisely to the wall thickness and door opening structure for a seamless fit.
Are custom sizes and configurations available?
Yes. We manufacture metal door frames to custom widths, heights, and depths as required by your project. We also prepare hinge plates, striker plates, closer reinforcements, and any specialised hardware cut-outs before delivery.
What materials and steel specifications do you use?
Our metal door frames are typically manufactured from zinc-coated or galvanised steel of suitable gauge for fire-rated or non-rated applications. This ensures structural reliability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance under Australian conditions.
How long does manufacturing and delivery take in Sydney?
Because all frames are produced locally in our Sydney facility, lead times are shorter than overseas options. Standard non-rated frames often ship within a few business days; more complex or fire-rated orders are scheduled and delivered based on project scope.
