Hervey Bay, Queensland
Everyone notices the fire door. Frame Maintain looks after what's holding it up — maintenance, modification, and installation of metal and aluminium door frames, for fire door service companies and builders who need the job done right.
Who we work with
Frame Maintain works directly with the businesses that manage and build commercial buildings — not the public. If you need a specialist who understands the job, you're in the right place.
When your inspection finds a frame that needs replacing, modifying, or re-handing — Frame Maintain is the subcontractor you call. We handle the metalwork so you can focus on the door schedule.
New construction or refurbishment — frame installation into formwork, tilt panel, and blockwork. Hollow core, solid core, fire door, and metal clad doors into metal and aluminium frames.
Why frames matter
Everyone notices the fire door. Fewer people think about what's holding it up. A door isn't a slab on hinges — the leaf, the frame, and the hardware are built to work as a single unit: the doorset. When a frame is corroded, damaged, or cut about, the whole doorset is affected, no matter how good the leaf looks. The frame is the half Frame Maintain looks after.
Here's what that looks like on the tools — one frame replacement, start to finish.
What we do
Frame Maintain covers the full scope of metal door frame work — from a single maintenance call to a multi-door installation project.
Relocating hinge and lock preps to reverse the swing direction of a frame. Common when a frame has been installed the wrong way, or when an architectural change requires the door to swing differently.
Cutting and preparing door frames for electric strike or magnetic lock hardware to enable electronic access control. Precision cutting so hardware seats and functions correctly — without knocking the rest of the frame about.
Structural alterations to existing frames to suit wall realignments or changed opening requirements. Assessed and completed on-site to minimise disruption.
Replacing corroded or damaged steel frames with stainless steel — ideal for basement environments subject to regular water ingress, and external exits where environmental conditions drive heavy corrosion.
In-situ frame replacement for unit entrance doors. Dust and surface protection is paramount — most replacements completed in a single day without the need for repainting, leaving the apartment presentable on completion.
Supply and installation of metal and aluminium door frames into formwork, tilt panel, and blockwork construction. Hollow core, solid core, fire door, and metal clad door types all catered for — supplied and fitted as complete doorsets, door and frame matched from the start.

About Frame Maintain
Frame Maintain Pty Ltd is operated by Rob Crow — a sole operator with deep knowledge of metal door frames built over nearly two decades in the industry.
Rob has been working in the fire door industry since 2007, establishing Frame Maintain on the Gold Coast in 2014 before relocating to Hervey Bay, Queensland. He works directly with fire door service companies and builders, taking on jobs that require specialist metalwork knowledge and a methodical approach.
Coming from the door side of the trade, Rob treats every frame as one half of a doorset — door and frame work as a single unit, so the metalwork gets the same care as the leaf.
Every job is assessed properly, completed without cutting corners, and handed back in a condition that reflects well on the business that called it in.
