Door Nomenclature  Three identifying areas of a door for detailing sections: – Head --top of door – Jamb --side of door – Sill --bottom of door Door jamb head or head jamb section Jamb section hinge side Sill section

Door Frame Door frame fits around the door & slides into rough opening of the frame wall

Fire Rating  Required by building codes  Residential –

1 hour between house & garage

 Commercial –

Rating set by code and is typically longer than residential requirements

 Fire rating controlled by – door type –

door material (inside material and the covering)

–

chemical treatment of material inside

Exterior Hinged Door  Typically 1 3/4” thick  Many types (See samples in class) –

flush or slab doors

»

solid slab or solid core

»

hollow core

–

panel doors

Solid Slab/Solid Core Doors  core made of lumber, particle board, or gypsum  covered with veneer  doesn’t warp  weathers well

Hollow Core Doors  Interior type usage  lightweight  easy to install/operate  filled with

network

– cardboard – wood crossband – honeycomb – wood slats

Panel Doors  made of exposed stiles & rails  panels - recessed portion  designs and styles vary with many custom doors made

Door Details  When drafting details of a hinged door, remember that you are cutting through a head, jamb, and sill –

head - top

–

jamb - side

–

sill - floor

 All details are placed

in-line

with each other

Head Pictorial

Jamb Pictorial

Head/Jamb Detail  Since head and jamb details are very similar, jamb detail often omitted and a label is placed on the drawing:

JAMB SIMILAR

Sill Pictorial  threshold commonly are aluminum or oak material  gasket to keep draft out, materials: –

rubber

–

neoprene

–

felt, sponge plastic

 angled/sloped to keep out moisture

Sill Detail

Weatherproofing  Adding material around perimeter of door to prevent dirt, air, light, or sound from entering  Types of materials used –

rubber

–

felt fabric

–

neoprene/vinyl

–

sponge plastic

–

metal

Threshold for Exterior Doors  Manufacture Catalogs –

Pemko

–

Zero

 Sections are typically to scale of: full size, half size, quarter size  Aluminum products are usually of extruded of an aluminum alloy (see sample in class)

Exterior Door with Slab Footing

Anchoring Methods

1. Expansion shield & bolt 2. Tamp-in anchor 3. Redwood sleeper w/ galvanized nails

Exterior Sliding Door  Details commonly shown without moving parts

Interior Doors  Normally 1 3/8” thick  Widths vary in increments of 2”  Applications: –

hinged

–

pocket

–

closet doors

sliding

»

bifold

–

accordion

Hinged Door  Head/Jamb similar, No sill

Pocket Sliding Door Pictorial/Plan  Door frame built as single unit  Door same as hinged door but hardware different  Door slides into cavity in wall  Restricts electrical outlets in area of door pocket  Wall area at pocket is very thin, 1 1/4” each wall side

Sliding Door (Closet)

Door thickness can vary 1 3/8” HC and thinner, shown is a 3/4” lumber core door Notice how the HEAD detail lines-up with the SILL detail. This practice is common between head and sill details

Bifold (Closet) HEAD DETAIL

Typical Door Detail Notes  Full batt insulation  Concrete porch 4” thick  Header: 2-2x6 with 1/2” plywood spacer  Shim space 1/2”  Add 3/8” particle board over 5/8” subfloor  Drop porch 1 1/2” from top of 3/8” particle board finished floor

Door Detail Notes (Continued)  Callout mastic where both threshold pieces meet  door threshold sections are in the catalogs at back of classroom copies can be made to trace as needed  Floor Joist 2x8 @ 16” OC  2x4 PTDF Sill plate  8” Concrete foundation
