Cautionary Statement

The hinge and strike spacings presented in this brochure are intended as a reference to inform the reader of the standard locations used in the manufacture of steel doors and frames by SDI member companies for the opening sizes shown.

The user must be aware that these spacings shall not be relied upon when retrofitting doors or frames to an existing installation. Field verification of hinge and strike spacings in this situation is necessary.

Dimensions listed are valid at the time of publication. However, manufacturers do periodically revise their hinge and strike spacing, therefore, the SDI strongly recommends that individual manufacturers be contacted to verify dimensions.

The Steel Door Institute and its member companies shall not be held liable for products manufactured using the information published here.
