Door frame explained simply – also known colloquially as door jamb

While the door leaf is the movable part of a door that allows it to open and close, the frame is the part of the door that is set into the wall and encloses the wall opening. It consists of a horizontal crossbar for the top and two vertical side pieces.

The door leaf, also called the door leaf, is connected to the door frame by hinges. The hinges not only allow the door leaf to move but also support it. Heavier doors therefore require three hinges. Standard interior doors usually only need two.

A key function of the door frame is to keep the door leaf closed when the door is shut. For this purpose, if the door has a profile cylinder lock, a strike plate with two recesses is provided on the left side of the door frame. These recesses accommodate the bolt and the latch of the profile cylinder lock. Simple bolt locks, which do not have a latch, only require one recess in the strike plate.

Door frames are available in a wide variety of designs, styles, and materials, as they also serve an aesthetic purpose. Frames made of wood or wood-based materials are common, but they are also manufactured from metal (aluminum, steel, or stainless steel).
