Steel Metal Door Frames Made for Commercial & Industrial Projects

We manufacture steel doors and welded door frames for a wide range of commercial and industrial projects across Sydney. Whether you’re working from architectural drawings, a door schedule or confirmed opening sizes, our team can help turn those requirements into a practical door package.
From smaller replacement orders to larger commercial quantities, we focus on:

Flexible Options: Fire-Rated and Non-Rated Metal Door Frames
We manufacture a full range of solutions to support compliance, safety, and architectural requirements.

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

If you’re searching for metal door frames near me, our Sydney-based team delivers high-quality, fully customised solutions quickly and efficiently.
Metal Door Frames with CNC Profiling for Faster Fit-Off
The less work your installers have to do on site, the easier the fit-off becomes.
Our doors can be precision profiled using CNC equipment before delivery, helping make sure the required preparation is completed accurately during manufacturing.
For your team on site, that can mean:
- Precise and consistent profiling
- Less cutting on site
- Fewer cutting tools required
- Reduced dust
- Less clean-up
- Reduced labour
- Faster fit-off
- Doors ready to hang sooner
When you’re dealing with multiple openings across a project, those time savings can quickly add up.
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
Steel Door Frames for Project Packages in Sydney
If you’re managing a larger commercial project, coordinating doors across dozens of openings can become complicated quickly.
We can help simplify the process by working from your door schedule and keeping the relevant metal door frames, steel door frames and door preparation organised as part of the same package.
This can be especially useful when your project includes:
- Multiple door sizes
- Different frame configurations
- Fire-rated and general-purpose openings
- Custom hardware preparation
- Single and double doors
- Staged project requirements
For jobs requiring a complete steel door and frames package, having one manufacturer working across the requirements can help reduce mismatched components and unnecessary site adjustments.
Where We Deliver
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.
