Problem #1
Fire rated door openings require a smoke gasket to meet the requirements of various codes. Adhesive applied smoke gaskets are often installed incorrectly by inexperienced installers and are expensive to replace at the end of their service life.
Solution
CK Kerfed frames are manufactured with factory installed fire rated smoke gasket. They are mitered and significantly lower in cost compare to adhesive applied smoke gaskets. They can be readily replaced without sanding, re-priming and painting required with adhesive applied gaskets.
Problem #2
Sound control for STC rated openings often use expensive gasketing systems which are not cost effective.
Solution
CK Kerfed frames provide improved sound reduction with no additional field labor for installation of components.
Problem #3
Exterior door openings using gaskets for air and water infiltration with costly screw on weatherstrip products are expensive, hard to install and unsightly.
Solution
CK Kerfed frames for exterior openings provide improved air and water infiltration resistance. They arrive at the jobsite with gaskets and casing color matched to pre-finished frame and ready for installation with door and hardware.
Problem #4
Light control from corridor to room entry is desired
Solution
CK Kerfed frames with standard Shlegel® QEBD500 kerf applied gaskets provide a full perimeter seal to help overcome inadequate sealing conditions caused by doors that are slightly warped
Timely CK Series (18 Ga.) pre-finished; electro-galvanized steel frames have an integral kerf formed into the stop of the frame for secure installation of the smoke gasket. The foam filled gasket is factory mitered and installed in the frame assuring correct alignment and installation. Adhesive applied gaskets are installed at the jobsite increasing labor costs and the opportunity for incorrect installation resulting in poor operating performance. Factory installation of smoke gaskets on factory pre-finished frames provides both a cost effective installation and improved long term performance.
- Feature: Attaches to wall every 11 inches on center to both sides with all fasteners in "shear" to weight and stress of door and hardware
Benefit: Assurance of long term performance and reliability of opening
- Feature: Positive Pressure fire ratings for single or pair of doors
Benefit: Configurability of opening design regardless of fire rating requirements

Benefit: Improvement in performance over traditional hollow metal frames using lighter frame gauges
- Pre-finished opening system eliminates painting labor and greatly reduces distribution and installation time, including installation labor for installing gasketing
Benefit: Significant reduction in total opening cost
- Multiple color finishes and casing choices including custom options
Benefit: Design flexibility
- Factory installed kerf smoke gasket
Benefit: Reduced jobsite labor cost. Provides for correct installation and long term performance
