How To Fix Metal Door Frame

The rusting of metal door frames is one of the most common conditions found in frames exposed to outside weather conditions or chemicals such as cleaning solvents or de-icing salts. Rusting of these metal frames is observed most often at the lower ends of the frame jambs, and most widely described as a rusted or corroded door jamb.

A common misconception about the rusting of these frames is that they rust from outside of the door frame to the inside. In fact, just the opposite is true. The frame eventually rusts from the inside through to the outside.

Compromised Door Frames

Commercial door frames are designed to provide years of dependable service. Properly maintained, these systems can be expected to provide more than 10 years of service life.

Unfortunately, these same frames are subject to degradation from numerous conditions including corrosive decay, attempted forced entry and impact from the people and materials passing through them. In the most severe cases, it is possible a frame can weaken and break along its perimeter.
