I am Installing stucco J trim, sometimes called casing beads, and or stucco stops around these exterior steel doors.
The J-Trim we are attaching is 7/8 thick to accommodate the depth of standard stucco walls.
On this property, we repaired two decks with a total of 30 steel doors, mixed with hundreds of feet of walls that were leaking.

These J-molds are usually installed around exterior steel doors to allow for expansion.
This is to stop the area around these heavy doors from cracking, as vibrations cause all stucco walls to crack.
You get a lot of vibrations around shutting or slamming heavy steel doors.

They were also specked out for windows to allow for expansion, however, in the last 15 years or so, most window frames have a built-in expansion flang rendering the use of these stucco stops useless.
Good thing as most of these do more damage than good., As they do tend to leak.

Subscribers with a question, type it into our channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it’s done.
