Frame Dimpling Tool

DT-1

The Framon DT-1 Frame Dimpling Tool facilitates the installation of hollow metal door frames by adding a recess during field-dimpling. It is especially useful for installing new metal frames in existing masonry or stud openings. Made from hardened materials, the DT-1 uses an Allen screw and wrench to smoothly create a dimple in the door frame after drilling. Once in place, a lag or toggle bolt will fit flush against the edge of the frame. Typically, you need to punch and dimple a frame three to four times on each side. The DT-1 simplifies this process, ensuring a professional fit for the fasteners. The tool is double-sided, so if the threads or face show wear after extensive use, simply use the opposite side. The kit includes two Allen screws and a long-arm Allen wrench.
