Quebec slang
This must be slang since I can't find it in my dictionary.
It is Quebec slang and is the transcript of an interview.
Il y avait la porte qui était déja en place et moi j’ai framé l’entrée et j’ai framé un petit cabanon dans la chambre pour mettre une plante mère.

Hello,
I'm not an expert on the subject and maybe I'm way off but from the information you provided the person in question was growing marijuana in his house, apartment or whatever. Marijuana plants give off a strong skunklike odor. So, to keep the neighbors or anyone else from knowing about the activity, you would cover all the door cracks or openings so that the smell does not leave the room.

Comment: "That's what I was looking for! Sealing the cracks around the door! It's not barricaded, as then there would be no access, but you're right on the money with sealing the door to prevent the smell of the plants from getting out. Thanks to everyone for helping me solve my riddle!"

frame
Actually, it is probably an anglicism. To frame a door (construction), to add the frame (or cadrage, cadre). The door was already installed, I just installed the door frame for the door in question. (We built our own house..had the doors installed..before the frames..then we just removed the doors and hinges and installed the door frames. When having frames made..you usually take into consideration the type of floor (ceramics, wooden floor, carpet, tyles, ect.). So when you're not sure...you install the doors before the frames... Hopes this help...personal experience.

: The word is borrowed from English but doesn't mean what you mention. It means what Thérèse said: the person was leaning on the side of the door.

I barricaded the door and I built a small shed for the mother plant.
That's what I think it means.
