Description

Head jamb for exterior doors. Solid poplar construction provides unparalleled durability, stability, and ease of installation.

Key Specifications:

  • Designed for exterior doors 1 3/4" thick
  • Width (add 1/4" to door slab width): Select 24", 26", 28", 30", 32", 34", 36", 38", 40", 42", 48", 60.5", 64.5", 68.5", or 72.5" (actual head jamb width)
    • Single doors (add 1/4" to door slab width): jambs intended for use with standard steel and fiberglass exterior doors that measure 1/4" less than the head jamb actual width. For example, a 36.0" head jamb will work with a nominal "3/0" or "36" door slab that actually measures 35.75" in width. If you have a door slab that measures, for example, 36.0" wide, then you will need to purchase a 38" head jamb and cut it down to 36.25"
    • Double doors (add 1" to combined width of slabs): 60.5" head jamb fits double 29.75" width doors (nominal 30" or 2/6 with a .75" astragal in between), 64.5" is for double 31.75" doors (nominal 32" or 2/8 with a .75" astragal in between), 68.5" is for double 33.75" doors (nominal 34" or 2/10 with a .75" astragal in between), and 72.5" is for double 35.75" doors (nominal 36" or 3/0 with a .75" astragal in between)
    • Sidelites (add 1/8" to door slab width): jambs for use with standard steel and fiberglass sidelite panels should measure about 1/8" wider than the panel width, to provide 1/16" space on either side of the panel
    • If you are unsure what width jamb you need, please purchase one with some extra width and trim on job site
  • Depth: Select 4 9/16", 6 9/16", or 9 1/4"
    • 4 9/16" are standard depth jambs for use with typical (2x4) construction
    • 6 9/16" are extended depth jambs for use with (2x6) construction
    • 9 1/4" are oversize depth jambs that can be trimmed to fit really thick walls (e.g., 2x8 construction, thick masonry walls, etc.)
  • Thickness: 1 1/4" including stop (thicker section), 3/4" thick not including stop (thinner section)

Customer photo review of Exterior Head Jamb (Primed Poplar)

It’s difficult to install and straighten a 48” rigid head jamb with a significant bow.

Customer photo review of Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

Door 'fulcrumed' on some boxes inside the door when opening it suddenly. Middle hinge splintered large chunk of leg. Bought the Pease leg, cut for the splice and it worked GREAT. Hinge measurement landed exactly right at 31 inches from top of middle hinge mortise to top of bottom hinge mortise (Pease leg specs). Terrific product and perfect solution! Thank you for selling these. - Jim

Customer video review of Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

Hinges were cut in the wrong location missed top hinge by 1/8 of an inch the middle hinge by 1 1/4 and the bottom by 2 1/2 inches

Exterior Hinge Jamb Leg (Primed Poplar)

Store owner replied: Hello Randol, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the hinge locations didn’t align with your existing frame. It looks like you ordered a prepped hinge jamb leg, which is made to our standard hinge spacing, as noted in the product description. Based on the Jeld-Wen hinges shown in your photo, your original spacing differs from our standard, which is why things didn’t line up as expected. In cases like this, a blank jamb leg (without pre-cut hinge mortises) is often the better option, as it allows for custom placement. We’d be happy to help you find the right fit—please reach out to us at info@peasedoors.com, and we’ll work with you to get what you need.

Great product and exactly what I needed. Shipment was prompt! Now I know where to go for any future door products.
