Door frame without trim

Is there a specific name for a door frame that does not have any trim? The one I saw had the door itself removed. The frame is black steel. It is flush to the drywall on the sides and top. There is no trim to hide the gap between the frame and the wall. Because the gap is very narrow, it works well. When trying to find more examples, I can't find a term that brings the style up. They all have trim around them. 68.187.174.155 (talk) 22:07, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think you could locate an example on Google Images? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 23:26, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does this work? There is no trim around the door. If you look closely, the frame is a slightly glossing white than the wall. The one I saw was black frame on a white wall. 68.187.174.155 (talk) 23:53, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We just call them 'trimless doors'. You could go for plug door if they're making a nice seal. But generally just trimless door. Nanonic (talk) 00:08, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also 'flush' or 'frameless' door (frame). EzyJamb whose door is probably in the image provided, does this kind of thing (other brands are available). -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 00:13, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I search for ezyjamb, I find what I am looking for. When I search for trimless doors, I find nothing but doors with trims. I think Google is broken. 68.187.174.155 (talk) 13:27, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The correct term for the trim around a doorway is architrave. A doorway that doesn't have any is (Google tells me) called a "flush door." Chuntuk (talk) 15:24, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unless you're building a new house, I recommend you just put trim around your doors. In older homes, installing frameless doors to look as nice as they do in the picture you provided is next to impossible. You'd also have to tear out all the drywall around the door first. If you're doing this yourself, and you have the time and patience, go for it. If you're paying a carpenter to do it, just put in regular doors with flat stock trim.
