French term

huisserie

French to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Context is door openings in Rf (fire retardant?) walls. Not sure of English term to use for "ébrasements" either:

La largeur des ébrasements est adapté aux épaisseurs des parois dans lesquelles les huisseries sont placées.

Grand Dico gives definitions for both "huisserie" and "ébrasement" but I can't get my head around it.

Any door specialists out there?
Proposed translations (English)

agree architran : Bits - the top jamb and the side jambs make up the door case or frame

Ah, thanks, Architrans! 'case'' was indeed the term I was searching for!
