These frames are qualified for use in positive pressure assemblies, with Category A doors, or with Category B doors utilizing Category G edge-sealing systems.  These frames, when installed in pairs in drywall construction, shall have anchors installed in the head section, minimum 24" on center. These listings will not reference specific door types, as all door types are eligible.
