Metal entrance doors are not an easy task

Econom

The modern market is full of different offers. At low prices, you will be given both a call to the gaveler, and installation, and subsequent repairs in the event of a breakdown. The price equivalent is 1300-1500 rubles. But the guarantee is only a year. For sure, nothing good from them is not worth waiting for.

Nevertheless, there are firms that will still answer all your questions and explain that enticing cheapness extends only to the most primitive metal doors, and increasingly serious steel or aluminum with different conveniences and fortifications cost more.

But even for a little money you can put a good entrance metal door, install two locks with large garage keys, an eye and a pen. The upholstery is again artificial, under the skin. Weight is not less than 100 kg - a lot of weight for those owners who have children in the family.

Important! For each additional function you need, you will have to pay.

Why pay extra?

Sound and heat insulation:

• Batting - 100 rub.;
• Mineral wool - 200 rubles;
• Foam - 300 rubles;
• Microflex - 400 rub.

Obviously, the thicker your door, the more expensive and reliable.

You will also receive additional funds for locks.

Price policy on locks:

• Italian - 1200-2500 rub.
• Turkish - 500-1500 rub.

You will be charged separately for the installation.

You will have to pay for beauty too. Standard upholstery is mourning black, but for an additional 50-100 rubles you can order brown, burgundy, blue or green. The only question is that everyone has different tastes.

Brochures write that the installation can increase the doorway. Yes, it is, but you will have to pay 40% more to the total amount of the cost. Expand the doorways necessary in order to be able to carry through it all appliances, and a standard opening of 2 m in height and 80 cm in width does not allow you to miss large-sized appliances and furniture.

Prices for the expansion of the opening in concrete are 300-1000 rubles.

So, if you consider all these costs, your front door will be twice as expensive as the original price, that is 2-3 thousand rubles.

Middle class

The next price category for metal entrance doors is 200 - 400 dollars. This category implies not only a great price, but also a high level of service, a palette of choice. In comparison with the previous category, these products can be viewed and literally "touched" in shops and pavilions of construction stores. In the same stores consultants will give you advice on the production system and issue an order according to your wishes.

These doors are much more diverse. They can be decorated:

• Laminitis, which will cost you 100 dollars on one side.
• MDF panel from 130 dollars.
• Oak veneer and mahogany - from 200 dollars.
• Natural wood - 230 dollars per square meter.m.

Also it can be installed a much larger eye, with a view of 140-200 degrees. Regarding the locks, it is possible to equip with two types - a lever and a cylinder.

The first is hard to knock out, so it's reliable in case of your frequent home absences. The second is often called simply optional, as it stores security only during the day and just closes-opens. It is easier to beat it, pick a master key and open it, too. Specialists recommend closing on both castles at least at night.

Number of crossbars

Favorite question of all users - this is the question of how the crossbars can be closed, what to be safe.

Rigel come in two shapes: rectangular and cylindrical. It is recommended not less than 4 bolts on the side of the lock and one down and up. The most reliable method of protection, when the bolt starts to work from the movement of the handle and key.

For 2500 rubles you can buy a door with bolts( without upholstery), turning in 3 turns and two locks.

For 3500 rubles you will install protection with 2 locks, only one domestic, and the second import, opening key with laser marks or punch cards.

Also an interesting piece for safety is the anchor system, where during closing, the metal stud pins enter round holes in the box and block the passage. With loops to remove them - just fantastic.

Where to order?

1. Small firms. Produce products from 200 to 400 dollars per thing. Individual approach in small production halls. The work is done by handicraft, without attracting quality equipment.
