The first thing to understand is that a great deal of load could be concentrated above a door. This happens on bearing walls. In these instances, a structural header acts as a beam over the door to support the load or weight that is bearing down on that portion of the house.

Door openings commonly have two king studs and two jack studs. A king stud is one that runs continuously from the top plate to the bottom plate. The jack stud is nailed to the king stud, but it’s shorter as it supports the structural header or the flat 2x material that you use for a door in a non-load-bearing wall.
