Ships the same or next business day, then 2 to 4 business days with ground shipping.
How we estimate
Most in-stock items that need no shop work leave our warehouse the same or next business day. Ordering by 12 pm Eastern, Monday to Friday, gives yours the best chance of shipping the same day.
Shop work starts once everything is in stock: trimming, cutting or prep takes 1 business day, finishing (priming, painting or staining) 1 to 3, and assembly, such as a prehung door system, 2 to 5. Out-of-stock items without a restock date usually ship in about 2 weeks, plus any shop work.
Ground parcels take 2 to 4 business days. Doors, sidelites and other large items go by freight: Priority Freight takes 2 to 5 business days and economy freight 7 to 15; you choose at checkout. Weekends and carrier holidays aren't counted. These are estimates, not guarantees.
30-day returns if unused and in the original packaging.Return policy

Head jamb for single exterior doors. Solid poplar construction provides unparalleled durability, stability, and ease of installation.
Built for the outdoors
Treated hardwood, not a composite or plastic, so it cuts, nails and paints like real wood
Treated top to bottom to resist rot and decay
Water-resistant factory primer gives paint a smooth, even base
Won't warp, swell or shrink like composites, and won't turn brittle in the cold like PVC
Key Specifications:
Designed for exterior doors 1 3/4" thick
Length: door slab width + 1/4". Select your door slab width (23.75" to 47.75"); the head jamb length is shown with each size. For example, a nominal 36" (3/0) door slab measures 35.75" wide and takes a 36" head jamb.
If your door slab is a non-standard width, choose the next size up and cut it to your slab width + 1/4"
Depth: Select 4 9/16", 6 9/16", or 8 9/16"
4 9/16" are standard depth jambs for typical (2x4) construction
6 9/16" are extended depth jambs for (2x6) construction
8 9/16" are oversize depth jambs that can be trimmed to fit thick walls (e.g., 2x8 construction, masonry walls)
Thickness: 1 1/4" including stop (thicker section), 3/4" not including stop (thinner section)
Building a double door, a door with sidelites, or a sidelite frame? Use the matching head jamb below so the length (and mull post mortises) are already right.

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

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.
This item arrived in great condition, excited to install it.

Hi David,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to learn that the hinge pilot holes were drilled incorrectly for the supplied hinges. We take such issues seriously we will be reaching out to you to send the correct hinges.
We appreciate your business and hope to resolve this to your satisfaction soon. Thanks again.
The piece is very good quality at a good price, I will surely order from Pease Doors again!
The jamb sets should be sold with weather stripping as a package. I received a follow up email after ordering the weather strips but the phone # given did not answer after trying several times. I ordered the standard depth weather strips as I replacing an old frame & door. If the frame packages are not made to use the standard depth weather strips it should be noted in their description.

We’re sorry to hear you need a replacement. We’d be happy to look into this and help determine the best way to assist, but we’ll need a little more information about the issue.
Please reach out to us directly at info@peasedoors.com with your order information and details about what needs to be replaced. If possible, please include photos as well so our team can review everything and assist you further.
Door came as advertised. Worked great for our back door!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear the top door jamb did not meet your expectations.
The top jamb should include the appropriate kerf for the weatherstripping. If yours is missing, we'd like the opportunity to review the issue and determine the best resolution. Please contact us directly at info@peasedoors.com and include a few photos of the top jamb and the entire door frame. Once we receive them, our team can evaluate the issue and assist with a replacement if appropriate.
We appreciate the opportunity to make this right.
