door jambs
Vertical frame pieces
Door jambs are the vertical side pieces of a door frame—the parts that run from floor to threshold on either side of the doorway.
The door hinges attach to one jamb, and the latch or lock engages the strike plate on the other.
The door jambs were rotted and needed replacing.
