Accessories for entrance doors - useful information

Fittings largely determine the quality of the doors. That is why the fittings for the doors deserve to be attentive to its choice.

Покупая pens и loops, locks и gate valves, стоит обращать внимания не только на красоту изделия, но и на некоторые другие параметры. На какие? Об этом мы расскажем ниже.

• anchors
• pens
• key lock
• стукачки
• compactor
• built-in calls
• number plates
• eyes
• chains
• locks
• gate valves
• loops
• closers

Door handles

Door handles must be in harmony with the finish of the canvas.

There are two types of pens:

• separate
• on the bar.

Handles for steel doors are somewhat larger in size for ordinary handles.

Materials for production:

• stainless steel,
• zinc alloys
• aluminum,
• brass.

Much depends on the brand of the manufacturer - more solid brands guarantee better quality.

Key lock

Metal plates, through which the key enters the lock, are called keys.

Covers are:

• anodized
• chrome,
• galvanized, etc.

Eyes

The viewing angle for the eye should not be less than 120 degrees (it is better if 180). As optics, a good option is glass, but plastic that is not prone to scratching. It is best to acquire a peephole with a thread to guess the right length.

Remember! A large coverage angle means worse image quality in the peephole.

Кроме оптических существуют видео-eyes, изображение с которых передается на монитор.

Door Tinkers

Accessories includes one very spectacular accessory - snitch. Especially impressive they look on the doors in a simple style or on doors with elements of forging (see Registration of the front door).

Door bolts

This accessory is designed to be locked from the inside. Opening outside the valve is not possible. It is recommended as an additional security measure besides the main lock at night.

The best option is a steel valve with a long and thick bolt.

Door chains

This attribute allows you to keep the door ajar and have a safe slot to communicate with an unfamiliar visitor. It is recommended to use only steel, solid chain links.

Дверные loops

Loop materials

So:

• Like handles, most of the loops are made of brass. They are coated with chrome or layers of paint, polished.
• There are more expensive options for loops made of steel alloys, coated with brass. Such products have increased strength and are well suited for entrance doors (see. Hinges for doors: their types and rules of choice).

Types of door hinges

Kinds of loops:

• навесные loops и ввертные (the first part of which is mounted in the door, the second - in the box);
• right (located on the right hand, if you look from the person standing in front of the door when the door opens on him) and left (are on the left hand);
• separable (с них можно снять полотно двери, не скручивая loops), а также неseparable;

Some buyers find such a gradation too difficult to perceive, so it is more convenient for them to buy already assembled doors, complete with fittings. This can be convenient, although it also limits the possibilities of choice.

Наш совет. Есть простой способ решения этой проблемы для тех, кто путается в разнообразии петель — купить универсальные loops. Они имеют только один минус — эти loops неseparable, их необходимо открутить прежде чем снимать дверь.

Custody

The canopy is needed to improve the soundproofing and insulating properties of the door. It will ensure the closure of the gaps between the box and the canvas, and thus prevents drafts.

Нужно учитывать, двери с притвором могут соответствовать только ввертным петлям. Двери с петлями иных конструкций не позволяют ставить anchors.

Door seal

Required to create a solid sealing circuit on the door. If a gasket of the correct cross section is installed in the vestibule of the door, then listening and blowing is impossible. The seal is attached to the metal with a sticky side around the perimeter of the porch. The thickness of the seal depends on the actual clearance.

Locks

Features of locks for metal doors

The safety of residents, as well as the quality and long life of the door, depend on the lock structures. Accessories for plastic entrance doors with glazing can include elementary locks, most often they provide a purely formal closure of the doors, signaling - it is closed here.

But locks for metal doors require a more careful approach. The number of locks must be at least two, and of different types. There are many models of lock designs on the market.

Types of locks

All of them belong to three categories:

• suvaldnye
• mechanical
• cylinder

To increase the resistance of the door to burglary, it is necessary that one of the locks be cylinder, and the other lever. Naturally, when choosing a lock, like no other element of the door, it is important to rely on the well-known name of the manufacturer. It is better if the product is purchased in the store, but not on the market. The security of the dwelling fully depends on the quality of the purchased door lock.

Number plates

The license plate identifies housing and can serve as an excellent accessory that emphasizes the individuality of the door. The classic color is golden, clearly visible in any light quality.

Built-in calls

Выбор модели доводчика зависит от веса полотна двери. Чаще всего устанавливается в наружных дверях помещений. В частных квартирах применяются редко.
