Developed primarily for use in steel or timber dry wall systems,

the Timely Prefinished Door Frame is roll formed from 0.9mm and
1.2mm pre-painted cold steel, providing quality, finish and strength
superior to that of conventional timber or hollow metal frames.

These cost effective light weight, knock down frames arrive individually
boxed for efficient, damage free installation at the end of the project
resulting in reduced overall labour and material costs.

Colour Co-ordination Offers Design Flexibility

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 architrave in steel, aluminum and PVC
(shown below). Plus, it offers an option to use
wood trims of your choice and an unlimited
selection of colours complementing doors
pre-machined to Timely’s specifications.
TA-30
Our patented sustained tension snap-lock clips
permit use of our various prefinished architraves.
The clips hold these architraves secure and flush
against the wall, eliminating gaps caused by
uneven surfaces, as well as creating tight miters.
On the TA-8 architrave, the TimelyMiterGard™ of-
fers additional open-miter protection. And Timely’s
unique full perimeter anchoring system furnishes
far greater frame strength and integrity than
timber.
Successful colour co-ordination is easily achieved
with Timely’s basic selection of six stock designer
colours and 29 custom colours as well as prime. Timely
can also match any colour upon request. And quality
is assured, because all colours are applied in coil form
with a durable baked-on polyester finish. Powder coat
finishes are available for special applications.
An important advantage of Timely’s prefinished frames
is the elimination of on-site painting cost per opening
− plus the guarantee of colour uniformity throughout
the installation. Pre-finishing also permits installation
after walls are finished to avoid costly delays and
damage to walls, frames and doors. Spills, inadequate
preparation, poor workmanship and touch-ups are
problems of the past; so, too, are the possible
environmental problems. Timely frames are painted
under controlled conditions to protect air, water and
land from pollution. All Timely frames are
electro galvanised to protect
against environmental
hazards such as rust and
corrosion from chemicals
and high humidity.

MiterGard™ produces tight mitres every time with this built-in corner piece.
The reason: its “L” shaped component is factory fitted to the vertical
architrave. Pre-assembly makes it an integral part of the architrave and,
therefore, stronger and more accurate. The exposed MiterGard™ sections
slide into the architrave attached to the header for a precise fit.
When installed according to factory instructions, it guards against errors
that cause open mitres and solves future open mitre problems resulting
from building movement or constant door operation. Designed exclusively
for Timely’s Model TA-8 architrave, MiterGard™ reduces on-site labour
costs through less handling.
