What American hollow metal door company makes thermally broken hollow metal door frames besides Curries and Ceco?

Pioneer Industries (www.pioneerindustries.com) out of Illinois and New Jersey.

Amweld also makes a thermally broken frame.

Amweld is now manufactured in Mexico

David, thank you very much. I now have 3 American manufacturers which should satisfy my public project. I just checked the Pioneer site and they do make the frame I need.

Dean,

Why the “American made” requirement?

David,

City of Chicago and State of Illinois politics. The reviewers are picky.

What I’m writing is a public library and the spec is going to become a prototype for other Architects to use, so I want it to be right. Its still in Masterformat 95, however.
