Abstract: A door frame assembly is made of first and second aluminum extrusions which may be placed in a door opening in wall after the wall has been completely finished. The structure of the frame assembly inherently compensates for variations in wall thicknss and dimensional errors in the door opening dimensions. Steel anchor plates are fastened to the wall in the door frame opening and the assembly is attached to the anchor plates. Once the completed assembly is in place, all of the attaching members are concealed from view.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a door frame comprising a first and a second frame portion. Each frame portion is assembled from four plate strips bent into a substantially L-like profile form, and the frame portions are insertable into a door opening in a wall from the opposite sides thereof in such a way that a first profile leg of all plate strips of each frame portion engages the outer surface of said wall around the door opening while the second profile leg of said frame portion plate strips extends into the door opening and overlap each other therein so as to cover the side edge of said door opening. In this position the two frame portions are interconnected by a number of threaded joints. The inventive concept of the invention resides in the fact that each threaded joint consists of one fixed rod and one rotatable rod provided with cooperating threads.
