Bossjamb™ Exterior Door Frame kits are
factory routered for standard residential 4”
hinges and lock strike hardware. They are
ideal for blank exterior door slabs (doors
that have not been routered for hinges and
drilled for locks) up to 36” wide, 80” high,
and 1-3/4” thick.
Refer to the hardware location illustration
below to determine where to lay out hinges
and lock bores on a blank door slab to match
the hinge and lock prep on a Bossjamb™
Exterior Door Frame.
