To insure proper door and frame function, the clearance between the door and frame must be properly
maintained. All standard steel door and frame manufacturers closely hold tolerances that result in a nominal
clearance between the door and frame of 1/8 inch. If this clearance is not maintained, interference and hardware
misalignment will occur.
Proper installation is extremely important in establishing clearances and preventing a multitude of potential problems.
