Hervey Bay, Queensland
Everyone notices the fire door. Frame Maintain looks after what's holding it up — maintenance, modification, and installation of metal door frames, for fire 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 with expertise and care that comes with 19 years in the industry, serving the Gold Coast and Brisbane until 2022. Frame Maintain is now based in the Wide Bay, covering Gympie, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and surrounding areas.
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. If your metal door frame is not what it used to be, ask for Frame Maintain by name.
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.
Alterations to existing frames to suit wall realignments or changed opening requirements. Measured and completed on-site to minimise disruption. Works are completed using quality material and welding processes, ensuring quality finishes that hold up for years to come.
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 additional wall repairs or tile replacements, leaving the apartment presentable on completion, ready for painting to complete the process.
Supply and installation of metal 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.
With not only extensive door installation experience, but considerable experience in general building practices, Rob treats every frame with the respect it needs — the door and frame work as a single doorset, so the metalwork, and the building that houses it, gets the same care as the door leaf. Whether we install the door, or others, any frame work is completed to a high standard, focusing on eliminating problems, not creating more.
Every job is measured and planned properly, completed without cutting corners, and handed back in a condition that reflects well on the business that called us to help.
Frame Maintain works alongside fire door certifiers, not in place of them. We don't carry out fire door inspections or certification, and we don't provide compliance advice — bespoke metalwork and high-quality metal door frame maintenance is what we do.
Get in touch
Whether you need a single frame maintained or have a full installation project, get in touch and Rob will respond directly.
