Door jamb vs door frame – What is the difference?

A door jamb and a door frame are two different things. So, what is a door jamb vs a door frame? A door frame is made of a mix of horizontal and vertical members which are placed on all sides to provide support to a door. A jamb, on the other hand, is a flat surface that runs vertically on each side of the door frame. It is vital to the functioning of the door. This is where the hinges are placed to hang the door, and the striker plate on the opposite side helps you to open, close, and lock your door.
