Timber Door Frames & Door Jambs — South Africa

Doors Direct supplies premium kiln-dried meranti timber door frames and door jambs for internal and external doors across South Africa. Whether you're fitting a new door or replacing a warped or out-of-square frame, our door frames are precision-made to keep your doors operating smoothly and your home properly secured.

Internal & External Door Frames

Our range covers two standard height configurations — one suited to internal doors and one to external doors. All frames are supplied unassembled for safe long-distance delivery and come with full fitting instructions. Single and double door apertures are available in standard South African door sizes.

What Is a Door Jamb?

A door jamb is the vertical timber side section of a door frame. Jambs bear the weight of the door and keep the frame square and plumb. Over time, minor foundation movement can cause jambs to shift out of vertical, leading to doors that stick at the top or bottom. Replacing the frame early prevents damage to the door itself.

Material & Finish

All Doors Direct door frames are manufactured from high-quality, kiln-dried meranti timber. The timber is supplied untreated and unprimed, ready to paint in any colour. Kiln-drying stabilises the wood, reducing the risk of warping, swelling, or shrinkage after installation.

Door Frames FAQ

What sizes are your door frames available in?
Our door frames are available in standard South African single and double door sizes. The two height configurations cover internal and external door applications. Contact us if you require a non-standard size or have an unusual aperture.

Can I order a custom size door frame?
Yes. In addition to our standard single and double door frame sizes, we manufacture custom door frames to order. If your opening is a non-standard size, contact us with your exact aperture dimensions and we'll provide a quote. Reach us at info@doorsdirect.co.za or on WhatsApp at 087 012 5283.

Are the door frames supplied assembled or unassembled?
Door frames are supplied unassembled for ease of transport. Each frame includes full assembly instructions. Our team is available via email or WhatsApp if you need guidance during installation.

What timber is used for the door frames?
All our door frames are made from kiln-dried meranti timber — a durable hardwood widely used in South African joinery. Kiln-drying ensures dimensional stability, reducing the risk of warping after installation.

Can the door frames be painted?
Yes. The meranti timber is supplied untreated and unprimed, making it ready to accept any paint, stain, or primer of your choice.

Do your door frames include architraves?
Architraves and skirting are available separately in our range. Check the individual product listings for compatibility, or contact us to confirm what's needed for your specific door and wall configuration.

Where can I buy door frames in South Africa?
You can order door frames online at doorsdirect.co.za with nationwide delivery throughout South Africa. For trade or bulk pricing, contact us at info@doorsdirect.co.za or 087 012 5283 on WhatsApp.

What is the difference between a door frame and a door jamb?
A door frame is the full surround — comprising two vertical jambs and a horizontal head — that fits into a wall opening. A door jamb specifically refers to the vertical side members. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but technically the jamb is one component of the complete frame assembly.

Do your door frames work with all door types?
Yes. Our range includes frames for hinged, sliding, pivot, and bi-fold doors. Each door type requires a specific frame configuration, so browse the individual product listings or contact us at info@doorsdirect.co.za or 087 012 5283 on WhatsApp to confirm the right frame for your door.
