Lead Shield has combined the door frame, mortising and hardware into a product called an Assembly. By purchasing both a door and Assembly, Lead Shield offers a complete unit, ready for installation.
 
Due to the increased weight of a heavily shielded door, special consideration must be given to the hinging and supporting arrangement. Assemblies come in 3 hinge types, determined by the door size & lead thickness. Assemblies are also available for double doors.
 
FEATURES
Each Single Door Assembly includes: Knock Down or Hollow Metal door frame, Hinges with mortising, 1 Passage or Privacy Latchset with mortising.
