Low door frames

What is with the low door frames. Walking thru a 3582RL and a 3402RL into the bedroom I banged my head against the low door frames on both units. At 6'-4" I can walk thru all other areas including as far forward as you can walk with adequate head clearance. But the top part of the door frame drops 4" or more. I had been seriously considering the 3582RL but that low door frame will be a deal breaker unless I can figure a way to eliminate it.
Don't know what other models may have the same problem. Do all the bedroom doors now have that same issue?

Yep I had the same problem with my 3402RL ,I am 6-3 and I got a few SCAB'S on my noggin from it and I finally learned to duck but On my New 3735MK it is a taller into the bedroom because it has a real door and not the lame pocket slide door with the big frame on top and I have gotten no Scabs yet but you being 6-4 you might duck a "Little"

Maybe being 5'10 is not so bad even if I failed at basketball.

I also just hit my head if I'm standing up straight coming in or out of the bedroom and ours isn't a pocket door.
