Types of entrance metal doors for an apartment

Any apartment doors made using metal consist of several parts, which include a box and a canvas attached to it. The unchanged complete set for this type of product is: one or more locks, a peephole and handles.

During production, several types of technologies are used:

• Pipe - corner;
• Combined;
• Bending - profile.

The pipe-angle method of manufacturing implies the use of manual welding, which affects the main unit. This technology can have its drawbacks. The use of the pipe - coal method makes it difficult to produce a product of the required size. Often, the finished canvas does not match the required size.

Bending - profile production method includes compaction of the web and increasing its weight. This is one of the most popular production methods. Due to this, the product of this type has high strength and is characterized by increased burglary resistance.

The combined method involves the use of a ready-made profile. The combined canvas has an average strength and a relatively low cost.

The main task of the manufacturer is to make a solid structure that does not lend itself to mechanical stress. Therefore, the selected material must have certain qualities. The door leaf is an important part of the metal structure.Often for the manufacture of doors, Russian manufacturers use steel, the thickness of which varies from 1.8 to 2.5 mm. Depending on the amount of material used, designs are: single-sheet, double-sheet, three-sheet. Minimal cotton wool or polyurethane is used to fill the space between the material. The quality of the inner filler allows you to determine the degree of sound insulation and thermal protection. The presence of insulation will help prevent the penetration of foreign odors from the entrance to the apartment. Materials such as silicone, rubber, magnetic tapes can become additional external seals.

Depending on the density of the material used, the finished product is assigned to a certain resistance class. Products belonging to the first class cannot provide complete security for the premises. Class II products are considered more reliable. The front door, which belongs to the fourth class, has fireproof and bulletproof properties.    

Also, finished products differ from each other in the type of finish. To create an aesthetically attractive appearance of products, they use: films, veneer, mdf, glass, panels made of artificial and natural wood, forged items, plastic. Metal-plastic entrance doors for an apartment are budget and popular products that have certain advantages, but do not provide reliable protection. The selected material for finishing gives originality and exclusivity. Such structures are not affected by adverse weather conditions, so everyone can purchase a product with any unique decor.

The reliability rating is determined by the presence of such elements as:

• Hinges that should be pretty strong. The main task of this part is to support the weight of the blade and prevent its easy dismantling. For the manufacture of hinges, galvanized axles and steel inserts are most often used. The presence of axleless hinges makes it easier to install the structure, and also reduces the load on the frame.
• Platbands and porches. These are important parts that are designed to close the gaps between the canvas and the frame. The presence of such elements makes it difficult to dismantle the unit.
• Anti-removable elements. The installed set of anti-removable elements ensures reliable holding of the canvas in the box.
• Deviators. These parts of the structure prevent burglary and do not allow the web to bend.
• Lock. An integral part of structures that provide protection of the room from outside intrusion. Most often they use a mortise, overhead, or padlock. Depending on the class, the purchased lock will have a certain degree of burglary resistance.
• Castle defense. The part looks like a metal plate that prevents knocking out and cutting of the installed lock.

The presence of all of the above elements makes metal doors a reliable structure with excellent characteristics. Additional functions of the finished product include: bulletproofness, fire safety, burglar resistance.
