Hi Peter,
Welcome back to rovers.
This shouldn't be a problem. I just had all 5 of my door frames sand
blasted and galvanized this past late spring or summer. The other option is
to acid strip before galvanizing but make sure there are plenty of drain
holes for the stripper to drain from so that when galvanizing there isn't a
reaction producing enough gas to distort (or puff) the hollow door frames.
Anyone who doesn't think this can happen should see the 109 coil conversion
frame Gord'n Perrot had galvanized a while back. Acid stripped then hot
dipped, and not one immediately right after the other. When the frame came
back from the galvanizer on of the long sides was completely ballooned out.
I suspect Gord'n can fix the frame but what a pain in the ass!
Rich,
