The Metal Door Frame is a doorway welded from steel rods. It gives a metal or framed wall a place to fit a door.
It belongs to Welding and comes in Poor and Good tiers. The in-game tooltip says it is required when installing a door. It suits a welder building a metal shelter or a reinforced entrance. It matches the Metal Wall Frame and the Metal Wall in style. A Wood Door Frame is the cheaper option for a carpenter.
How to Build Metal Door Frame
This recipe must be learned first. The magazine Welder Monthly - June 1993 teaches it. The Welder occupation knows it from the start.
Both tiers take the same materials. Each needs four Steel Rod. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods join the rods. Both are drawn down by the build.
The Poor tier asks for Welding level 3 and gives 30 Welding XP. The Good tier asks for Welding level 5 and gives 50 Welding XP.
Steel Rod is the main stock to gather. Start with the Poor tier and move to Good once Welding reaches level 5.
Each version of the Metal Door Frame has its own tab with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and its materials.
The Metal Door Frame recipe builds the Metal Door Frame (Poor). It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP. The recipe has to be learned first.

How to Use Metal Door Frame
The frame stands in the wall line. A door is then fitted into it from the Building menu.
The frame and door together form the entrance. Zombies attack doors to get in, so a strong door matters.
Plan the door's spot before raising the walls around it.
Build Tiers
Both tiers cost the same Steel Rod. The Good tier needs Welding level 5 and gives more XP. Build Poor frames while learning, then switch to Good.
Each version of the Metal Door Frame is listed with the skill it needs, the XP it gives and how much health it has once built.
