The FN Series 3 sided flush narrow 1" (25 mm) face frames are designed to meet the requirements for light to maximum duty applications in both commercial and institutional buildings where a slim face profile is required. They are installed in both interior and exterior locations, and in virtually all types of buildings and wall constructions.
These frames are to be installed as part of the wall framing sequence. They can be specified and supplied as KD (knock-down) for field assembly prior to installation or welded for installation as a complete unit.
