- Will conform equally from top to bottom.
- Closer piece will have a much more secure fit with the inner
piece.

- Difficulty in aligning closer pieces
- Lighter gauge on closure pieces.
- May present field installation problems.

- Welded closer guides, once bent will not return
- If frame installs on a twist, will result in a large gap at
the bottom and a tight fit at the top or reverse.
