Hello everyone,
we are currently renovating a house and have removed almost all door frames (steel frames) except in the bathroom (since the bathrooms will remain).
Unfortunately, we have openings where only a corner frame will fit because the wall connection is at the end of the wall.
Since I only found steel corner frames online, I wanted to ask if you have any ideas on how to solve this differently?
Specifically, in the middle you can see a former apartment door (the house used to have two apartments, but we now occupy both floors).
You can see that the frame is much too large.
So only a corner frame will work here.
Do you have any ideas on how to handle this without using a steel frame?
I am also planning to visit a door supplier next week to ask about this.
Best regards
Matt
PS: I’m wondering why we didn’t just knock down the passage or the wall?
I honestly don’t know at the moment.

Unfortunately, I can’t contribute much to your question, but the channels you made for the cables are far from good for the house. I’m not someone who strictly follows every regulation and tend to be more of a practical person than a theoretician, but this would worry me.
Not only that data and power cables are running together... I probably wouldn’t have made two separate channels either.
But the fact that the channels horizontally run all around the entire room is a significant reduction of the masonry cross-section.
If you have other rooms, I suggest you consider an alternative before your upper floor becomes your ground floor.

Hi danifx, it only looks like that.
The load-bearing walls are 24cm (9.5 inches) thick and plastered with 3cm (1.2 inches).
We chased the walls with 35mm (1.4 inches). So no problem, according to our structural engineer as well.
But thanks for pointing that out!
Regarding data lines and electricity together: we also considered that, but it would have been too much for us. So it has to be like this now, otherwise we’ll have to use Wi-Fi.
Best regards,
Mattes
