Abstract

Door frame kits to be assembled into door frames and door frames assembled from such kits. A door frame kit includes a top member, and first and second side members. Open edges are defined along substantially the full lengths of extruded metal structures of the top and side members, and communicate with cavities in the respective extruded metal structures. Each cavity has interiorly-facing side walls extending along substantially the full lengths of the extruded metal structures. Substrates are received in the respective cavities of the top and side members. The substrates extend outwardly of the cavities through the respective open edges. The substrates structurally reinforce the extruded metal structures between the side walls along substantially the full lengths of the extruded metal structures. Preferably the extruded metal structures are extruded aluminum structures and the substrates are wood. The door frame kits, and door frames, are especially advantageous for framing garage door openings in garages suitable for storage of motor vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, and the like.
