DOOR AND WINDOW FRAMING
Rough openings made easy.
Interior door and window framing is a whole lot easier with RedHeader RO.
™
RedHeader RO can cut your labor time in half. It’s designed to replace conventional 
boxed or lay-in headers and built-up jambs and provide better results in half the 
time. One-piece headers and jambs eliminate the additional studs, tracks, and screws 
required to frame conventional rough openings. Headers and jambs are also pre-cut to 
specified lengths to eliminate field cutting. The adjustable Drop
 ’
N Lock
™
 clip makes 
field adjustments a snap and provides a flat surface for a smooth drywall finish.

Headers are prepunched, and 
pre-cut to the length specified 
on your order. Header depth is 
1/8" narrower than jamb depth to 
accommodate fit into Drop ’N 
Lock Clip. Header lengths should 
be ordered 1/2" shorter to fit inside 
our Drop ’N Lock clips.

RedHeader RO HEADER
Prepunched slots allow for 
vertical field adjustments before 
fully attaching the clip, through 
the prepunched holes, to the 
RedHeader RO jamb stud. The 
“box-style” 
clip design makes it easy 
to drop the header 
into place and 
allows for one-man installation, 
even 
on large header spans. The clip is the 
same width as the jamb stud, reducing 
material 
buildup at this connection 
eliminating additional corner bead 
and taping costs.

As part of the RedHeader RO 
system, the jamb eliminates capped 
members, allowing drywall screws to 
drive through only one thickness of 
material. Plus, the open jamb does 
not require pre-insulating.
