Metal studs to replace vertical wood studs for use in the framing of walls of partitions. The ends of the metal studs are configured to allow convenient and rapid use by carpenters in the same manner that wood studs are used in assembling the frame for partitions, walls or sections thereof, and without any need for additional training of or new tools for the carpenters. The unique configuration having a flange or leg on both ends of only one side of the metal studs, allowing the interior surface of the flanges to conveniently interconnect with the respective vertical surface of the top (ceiling) and bottom (floor) wood plates. Each end of the central portion of the stud has a flange to interface with the exposed horizontal surface of top and bottom wood plates. This unique configuration allows the metal studs to be attached conveniently and inexpensively, by nailing to the top and bottom wood plates.
