Is it OK to hang an oak door in a softwood frame?

[Zebra579]

I'm thinking of getting this door from Wickes:

but I only have a softwood frame, not a hardwood one. Will it be strong enough?

There should be no problem hanging that in a normal exterior door frame....its a veneered door so if you have to alter its size, take an equal amount from both edges.

I agree.

All the hardwood doors on my house (3 oak and 1 Hardwood) are hung in Softwood frames and I have no issues.

The one hardwood door hung in a hardwood frame is a right PITA and constantly sticks through expansion and contraction. Asume the actuall cill is hardwood though, they normally are!
