Maple
Mable Door Jambs in Single and Double Rebate
Hanging doors through a new build or replacing a jamb in a renovation? Solid maple door jambs give you a stable, hardwood frame that takes a fixing cleanly and finishes to match any decor. We stock solid Light Red Meranti jambs in single and double rebate, in sizes from 90×30 up to 185×42, as individual jambs and complete jamb sets, in 2.1m, 2.4m, and 2.7m lengths. Whether it is one jamb to patch a doorway or full sets for a whole house of doors, you get consistent, ready-to-finish hardwood.
Matching the Jamb to Your Wall and Door
The jamb size follows the wall and the door. The rebate is the step cut into the jamb that the door closes against: single rebate suits a standard single door, while double rebate takes a door on each side of the opening or a thicker wall build-up. Match the jamb width to the wall thickness, with 90×30 and 110×30 for standard stud walls, 119×30 and 138×30 for wider builds, and 138×42 and 185×42 where the wall is thicker or the opening carries a heavier door. Buy single jambs for a repair, or full jamb sets where you are framing openings from scratch.
Why Meranti for Door Jambs
Light Red Meranti is a tropical hardwood from the South West Pacific and Southeast Asia, often sold simply as Meranti. It is a stable, straight-grained timber that holds a fixing well and stays true in the frame, which is what you want in a jamb that has to keep a door swinging square for years. It is more affordable than many hardwoods and takes paint or stain cleanly, so it finishes to match the door, the skirting and mouldings, and the rest of the room. Pair the jamb with the door that hangs in it, or see the full door jambs range for primed pine and Design Pine H3 options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a door jamb?
A door jamb is the timber frame that lines a doorway and holds the door. The door hinges off one side of the jamb and closes against the rebate cut into it, so the jamb keeps the door hanging square and sealing properly.
What is the difference between single and double rebate door jambs?
A single rebate jamb has one step for a door closing from one side, suited to a standard single door. A double rebate jamb has a step on each side, used where a door hangs on both sides of the opening or the wall is thicker.
What size door jamb do I need?
Match the jamb width to your wall thickness. BBS stocks Meranti jambs from 90×30 for standard stud walls up to 185×42 for thicker walls and heavier doors. Call 1300 554 775 to match the jamb to your opening.
