   I looked into them for my house and they were pricing out at about $1000/door frame back in early 2021.

   I recently used this product, excellent product quality if it is the look you are going for.

   It likely won't help you because of your budget, but I am posting in case anyone reading the thread is looking for a similar solution.

   Thanks....the JLC article is a good approach less the pricy frames. Will check Trimtex too.

   Thanks!!

   This detail is possible but it's quite involved and as a DIY project. The image you shared shows a few elements that are common in trimless doors:

   - Concealed door hinges - You'll have a few options between Anselmi, Simonswerk or Tectus. You'll have to figure out how beefy your concealed door jamb must be to house the jamb side of the concealed hinge and if the wood frame within the door slab is deep enough for the door leaf part of the concealed hinge. Alternatively you can use a standard pin hinge and try to use your standard door jamb but you'll limit your options to an outswing door with the hinge visible.

   - Concealed striker - You'll have a few options for magnetic mortise locks and magnetic strikers. Alternatively, you can use a standard lock set but that means you'll have to introduce an exposed lip striker with a cut out (it's best to add a dust box under the lip striker plate so that it looks clean and presentable).

   - Flush baseboard - The image also shows no baseboard. You can achieve this by bringing your drywall all the way to the finished floor but make sure to extend the floor so that it slides below the finished drywall. You'll likely want to use corner bead or reveal bead to finish the drywall so that you can allow the floor to move. Alternatively, you may want to go with flush baseboard where you'll recess the traditional baseboard but you'll have to decide what that transition between the baseboard and concealed door jamb will look like.

   These elements are key to achieving the look you shared.

   Take a look at https://www.angelbau.com/ to see how we executed frameless swing doors and trimless pocket doors.

   Thanks for the insight on the elements. And nice doors (and website) for Angebau. Last week I was in Lithuania and visited a warehouse store called "Depot" - it seems European mid-range doors and (especially) windows are a generation ahead of us.
