TEK Double Doorframe — Detailed Guide
The Tek tier of double doorframes
The TEK Double Doorframe, written Tek Double Doorframe in ARK: Survival Evolved, is a wall piece with an opening, recorded for both ASE and ARK: Survival Ascended. Its description: "A composite Tek wall that provides entrance to a structure." The ARK Wiki counts it as the fourth double doorframe a player can unlock. Like any doorframe it works as a wall that holds a building up and closes it off, with a gap for coming and going.
Tekgram and crafting
Its blueprint is a Tekgram; the ARK Wiki says it comes from beating the 
Dragon or the 
Crystal Wyvern Queen on medium difficulty. The wiki infobox names the 
Exo-Mek as a place to craft it. One doorframe costs:
- 30
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 15
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer or 
Corrupted Nodule - 5
Crystal or 
Primal Crystal - 1
Element or 
Red Element
Crafting takes 90 seconds (1.5 minutes) and earns 11 XP. Each piece weighs 4, and a stack of 100 weighs 400. Our records also show 20 crate types that can contain it, among them the Genesis Blue, Genesis Green and Genesis Red crates on Genesis Part 2.
Building with it
It can stand on a Foundation, a Fence Foundation, a Ceiling or another wall, though not on a Thatch Roof. A Double Door fits the opening and can be locked, letting the tribe through while keeping others out. As support, the frame lets a structure on top of it reach out up to 2 ceilings along either horizontal axis, and 1 ceiling diagonally when the frame stands directly above a foundation.
Notes on size and damage
It is a little narrower than the other double doorframes: a 
Sabertooth that walks through wooden, stone or metal ones cannot fit through this one. Open, closed or missing doors make no difference to a house's insulation. If the frame is destroyed, pieces that depend on it for support go with it, and demolishing it refunds nothing for those extra pieces. As a Tek structure it only takes damage from Explosives, the 
Tek Rifle, Tek Saddles, Titans, Bosses, Corrupted Creatures, Enraged Creatures, the 
Titanosaur, the 
Arthropluera and the 
DodoRex.
