Metal Door R/O

Would someone please tell me what the rough opening in a steel stud wall needs to be for a metal door frame? The door is a 36 inch by 7 foot.

thanks in advance.

Re: Metal Door R/O

I do welded 40 1/4" in the width.. you need to know how tall the top of the frame is for the height I think some are 2 and some are 4. You are most likely a knockdown though so see above.
