Giant Stone Hatchframe — Detailed Guide
A giant stone ceiling with an opening
The Giant Stone Hatchframe is a large stone ceiling piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, described in game as "This Giant Stone ceiling has a hole in it for trapdoors." A 
Giant Reinforced Trapdoor fits into that hole; once locked, it keeps others out while you and your creatures can still pass. The piece measures 2 walls by 2 walls, and the ARK Wiki describes it as a horizontal gateway for creatures, mostly flyers, that also works in taming traps.
Which flyers fit through
According to the ARK Wiki, the 
Quetzal, 
Argentavis, 
Pteranodon, 
Tapejara, 
Pelagornis, 
Griffin and 
Lymantria can all pass through the opening. The 
Wyvern cannot.
Crafting the hatchframe
The engram unlocks at level 30 for 20 engram points. The hatchframe is crafted in a 
Smithy or on an 
Argentavis Saddle from:
- 400
Stone - 200
Wood or 
Fungal Wood (our ASE record lists Wood only) - 120
Thatch
A craft takes 5 seconds and gives 4.95 XP. Each hatchframe weighs 4 and up to 5 stack together, a full stack weighing 20. It can also come from loot: our records count 44 crate types that can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue and Genesis Red crates of Genesis Part 2.
What can break it
It counts as a stone structure, and the ARK Wiki keeps a list of what can still damage it. Examples include explosives at 150%, metal weapons at 5%, the 
Cannon at about 137% and the 
Titanosaur at about 462%, plus creatures like the 
Deathworm, 
Magmasaur, 
Roll Rat and 
Chalicotherium, Titans and Corrupted Creatures.
