Specifications

Material Options

Face frames are available in 3/4” and 7/8” thickness. Face Frames are available in most wood species offered by Decore-ative Specialties except Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). Check for availability when ordering.

Color & Grain

The material grade requested is for the face of the face frame. The back will be a lower grade than the face.

Construction Method

A high quality haunch method of construction is used for our face frames to provide added durability. The Square Edge (FE-1) Frames can be ordered with butt joint or haunch construction (at no additional cost.)

Assembly Options

Face frames are drilled and assembled with pocket screws and glue. Face frames can also be ordered ready-to-assemble (RTA) so all you have to do is assemble, sand, and finish.

Minimums and Maximums

Stile and Rail width minimums are determined by the Frame Profile you are selecting.

FE-1 and FE-6 Frame Edges have a preferred miniumum of 1-1/2".
FE-7 and FE-11 Frame Edges have a preferred minimum of 1-3/4".

If one dimension is greater than 48" the other dimension must be less than or equal to 48".
Maximum size for FedEx shipments is smaller than listed maximum size.
Due to machinery considerations we cannot manufacture under the minimum size.
Opening sizes can be manufactured under Minimum and will include a special option fee.

Face Frames are manufactured to the nearest 1/16”.
* Maximum size can be exceeded with production approval
**Production may require frames be sent unassembled due to size restrictions

Dado Options

You can specify Dado placement for the Top, Bottom, Left, Right, two on Left, and/or two on Right. Placement is determined by looking at the front of the frame.

For top & bottom frame widths 1-1/2” to 2-1/2” only one pocket screw will be used.

Specify on the order form which lines require dados and their placement on the frame. For the right side and left side, mark inside and/or outside on the order form.
