What do you call that board that the door hits when you shut the door, so that it doesn't swing back and forth
Question:I have door frames with no doors and they are totally flat and I need to know what that board is called so I can fix it so that I can put the doors on.
Answers:
What you have is what is called a "cased opening". Usually installed between two rooms were you don't typically have a door. It consist of two side and one head jamb that is trimmed with "casing" (moulding). You can add a door to this by hanging the door and applying a "door stop". Some modification might need to be done to the door to make it fit and swing correctly. Cased openings are not always installed to have standard door fit in them.
you talking about the door frame sound like.
It`s calle d simply enough "door stop"
are you talking about door jambs?
door jambs usually have nosings that serves as door stopper. if your jamb doesnt have one, you can put plain base board as substitute. nail it straight to each side and the headers.
Door stop.

It's called stop and is attached to the door jamb
The entire frame is what keeps it from just swinging both ways. The doorjam is the extra bit on the bottom, normally slightly rounder, and makes it so that people don't trip over the square frame.
