A frame anchor is hardware that secures a door or window frame to the wall surrounding it. There is a variety of frame anchors available, each designed for use in a specific wall material. The types include wood stud anchors, steel stud anchors, universal stud anchors, wire masonry anchors, and existing masonry anchors. For example, wood stud anchors and steel stud anchors are made for stud walls, while wire masonry anchors are used in new masonry construction, and existing masonry anchors fit well into retrofitting blocks in existing block walls. These anchors can be sent loose or welded into the frame and are installed in a manner compatible with the wall type and project. Frame anchors enhance the performance of walls, doors, and windows in structures. They help in supporting the structure to its wall for maximum structural integrity. They do this by preventing shifting and sagging of the doors and windows.
