I have 4 doors I need to stub a conduit in from the bottom to feed it with regular power for the door opener and a out sign. From up top I have fire alarm and security stubbing into it. I also have EM power coming down from above for a exit light. I can see running MC to the top for the EM but since my feeds for my regular power are coming through the side, I think I'm gonna have to flex it though. Can a door frame be concidered a raceway?
 
I would only be a raceway if it had conductors in it. If you run an MC cable through it it isn't a raceway or required to be one.
 
If you are using flex, why the door have to be considered a raceway? The flex is the raceway.

But to answer your question, none of the wiring methods in Chapter 3 include door frames.

How is it that nobody answers this for 40 minutes, then 3 people answer it at the same time? :D

I have a book at home that would answer this question for you. I could lend it to you, if you like. It's title is, "Why do Buses Come in Threes?" :D

(Yes, it is a real book. I have read it, and I found it entertaining.)
