An Array of Design Options
Timely supplies frames with design flexibility to meet the most stringent commercial, industrial and residential requirements.

The remarkably versatile Timely line features distinctive door frame casing profiles in Steel and Aluminum. You also have the option to use any Wood trim you prefer, plus we offer an unlimited selection of colors complementing doors pre-machined to Timely’s specifications.

Our patented sustained tension snap-lock clips permit use of our various prefinished casings. The clips hold these casings secure and flush against the wall, eliminating gaps caused by uneven surfaces, as well as creating tight miters. On the TA-8 casing, the Timely MiterGard™ offers additional open-miter protection.

• Wood casing can easily be applied to Timely frames.
• This requires a frame without casing retainer clips. Specify frames with nail holes and oval slots (NHOS) only.
• Wood casing is then installed over the frame face using a nail gun or trim head screws.
• Finish Nails for Metal Studs: Hardened finish nails are made of 15 gauge Electro Galvanized Heat Treated steel. Commonly used in the interior & some exterior steel framing applications in the finish carpentry and trim woodworking industry; these 34 degree angle diamond point finish nails are made by Senco and are compatible with all Senco 34 degree angle finish nailers as well as Hitachi, DeWalt, Porter Cable, and Rigid.

In some cases, our customers will be using wood casing or some other material and do not want the clips applied to the frame. But, for installation, they would still like the nail holes and oval slots.

note: for all fire rated frames, one fastener must be located every 11 inches.
