A frame assembly for a doorway, the frame assembly comprising:
- a first frame member having an outside surface and an inside surface opposite the outside surface;
- a second frame member having an outside surface and an inside surface opposite the outside surface, the second frame member separated from the first frame member;
- a bridge member having an outside surface, an inside surface opposite the outside surface, a first end surface, and a second end surface opposite the first end surface, the first end surface and the second end surface each extending between the outside surface and the inside surface of the bridge member;
- and
- a connector joining the first frame member and the second frame member with each other, the connector comprising:
- a first connector portion securing the first frame member to the bridge member;
- and
- a second connector portion attaching the second frame member to the bridge member, the second connector portion facing the first connector portion;
- wherein an end extension piece of the first connector or the second connector portion forms a U-shape.
