With the advent of equivalent gage studs, does the reduced metal thickness affect pressure fit anchors?

A

With the advent of equivalent gage studs, does the reduced metal thickness affect pressure fit anchors?

Reduced metal thickness may contribute to local buckling of the stud depending on the door weight and location of the performance enhancing features in the wall stud. Flange stiffening grooves and web embossments will resist local buckling if properly located.

What qualifies a door as being Maximum Duty? Core and welding construction?
Stud manufacturers are adding ribs and texture to provide equal deflection criteria, but are thinner on the web portion of the stud that the anchor is pressing against. Is this thin section dimpling/bending when the weight of the door swings and puts pressure on the anchors?
