Metal Double Doorframe — Detailed Guide
A wide metal entrance
The Metal Double Doorframe is a building piece in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, described in-game as "A metal-plated concrete wall that provides entrance to a structure." It is the third double doorframe a survivor can unlock. Like any doorframe it works as a wall, giving a building structure and closing off the space, with an opening for a Double Door; once locked, that door keeps others out while the owner and tribe members can still pass.
Crafting and placing it
The engram unlocks at level 52 for 24 engram points. The frame is made in a 
Smithy, and the ARK Wiki also lists the 
Exo-Mek, from 20 
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) and 6 
Cementing Paste (or 
Achatina Paste). Crafting takes 3 seconds and gives 5.52 XP. It can go on any foundation, fence foundation or ceiling, though not on a Thatch Roof, and also on top of another wall.
Support and insulation
When the doorframe stands directly above a foundation, a build resting on it can extend 2 ceilings out in any direction along the x and y axes, and 1 ceiling diagonally. Doorframes do not change a house's insulation, whether the door is open, shut or missing. If the frame is destroyed, every piece that depends on it falls with it, and demolishing it yourself refunds nothing for those extra pieces.
What can damage it
It is treated as a metal structure. Per the wiki, only Titans, bosses, the 
DodoRex, Corrupted and Enraged Creatures, the 
Arthropluera, the 
Titanosaur, explosives, the 
Tek Rifle and Tek Saddles can damage it.
Storage and loot
Each frame weighs 4 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 400. 32 crate types can contain one, including the Genesis Green and Genesis Orange crates on Genesis Part 2.
