Safe door will protect your apartment from hacking

Depending on the destination, safe doors differ from each other in design and size, but one thing unites them - high breaking resistance and reliability of locking devices. Manufacturers also do not forget about the appearance: to understand that such a door can be original and fit perfectly into a residential interior, just look at the photo presented above.

The video in this article, as well as the instructions presented in it, will acquaint you with the manufacturing technology and structure of such doors. You will learn how to choose a safe door, given their design features, and get a lot of other, no less interesting information.

What you need to know about safe doors

Doors of the safe type are installed not only in specialized premises in which material values ​​are stored, but can also be used in residential buildings. There was a time when such products, if they were found in stores, were only imported, the price of which, well, "bite" very much due to the constantly growing exchange rate.

Today, many domestic enterprises have mastered the manufacture of safe doors, in connection with which their cost has slightly decreased, and consumer demand has increased. The very word “safe” in most of us causes associations of a very solid construction, which is impossible to crack or use a master key for opening.

And this is true: for thieves, time is money, and with such a door it would take a very long time to fiddle with such a door. So, it’s impossible to install it yourself, let alone open it without a key (see How to open the door without a key: if the need arose).

Frame and canvas structure

Excellent tightness of safe doors, provides the box, the manufacture of which uses tselnognity profile with a complex cross-section. The cavity of the frame is often filled with concrete, which not only enhances the rigidity of the structure, but also makes it monolithic.

To ensure the tightness of the porch, on the perimeter of the frame, on the inside and the outside, install sealing magnetic circuits.

So:

• The door leaf is assembled from two sheets of cold-rolled sheet steel 1.5-2 mm thick. The stiffeners are welded to their inner surface, which are a grid of steel profiles that do not allow the deformation of the web under force directional action.

• Why are there mechanical effects - additional protection in the form of multidirectional stiffening ribs, effectively prevents the door from being cracked by using electric tools. The internal cavity of the safe doors can also be additionally reinforced, or thick metal or even concrete liners can be installed in it.
• Thus, the thickness of the door leaf is quite impressive. Otherwise, the dimensions of the door safe do not differ from ordinary external steel doors: height is 2300 mm, width is 900 mm - unless the door is made individually, taking into account non-standard wishes of the customer.
• An ordinary steel door weighs within 100kg, and door leafs of a safe type, taking into account such solid internal reinforcement, can weigh almost twice as much. To withstand such a mass, the components of the safe doors - namely, door hinges, have increased size.

• In addition, not two, but three, or even four hinges are put on one canvas (see. Hinges for metal doors - the nuances of choice), which can easily withstand such a solid web weight. Most often they are installed outside, which makes it possible to open the door 180 degrees.

Note! To exclude the possibility of removing the blade when the hinges are damaged, anti-removable pins are installed on it. These are special anchors located on the front side of the sash, which, when closed, enter into the corresponding openings in the door frame. Thanks to this protection system, the canvas cannot be opened even if the loops are completely cut off.

Heat and sound insulation of the door is provided by a porous filler inside the door leaf. As for the decorative coating, most often it is either milled overhead panels, or powder coating, which, due to its incredible strength - or as they say today: anti-vandalism, retains its impeccable appearance for as long as the door will last.

Locking mechanisms

It is clear that if such serious security measures are taken in the manufacture of the doors, then the lock should be in compliance. Usually, a lock for a safe door is a locking device with a code number and a lock that does not allow you to select a combination of numbers at random.

So:

• After the combination is entered, the analyzer identifies it with the digital code in its memory. The cipher can also contain key configurations. But to create the best barrier, allows a combination of several types of locks, with completely different structures, and different degrees of secrecy.

• In this case, if the key is not inserted into each lock and turned into a certain position, the door will be locked. By the way, it is possible to remove keys from keyholes only when all mechanisms are closed or open. Such unprecedented security measures are usually taken when equipping bank vaults. But if you wish, any person can order such a door - you never know what values ​​he holds at home.
• If we talk about the reliability of constipation, then armored doors put locks not lower than 3 classes. By design, they can be not only traditionally key. There are also code-mechanical variants, one of which is shown in the photo below. Today, electronics, magnetic devices, and even biometric locks that recognize the host by fingerprint are already in use.
• Locks for safe doors can also be equipped with an indicator or alarm sensor. With the help of programming mechanisms, they provide a certain number of combinations, or the maximum possible number of unlocking the lock for a certain period of time.

• The safe locking devices are equipped with longer than usual bolts and armored plates are installed on them. And yet, on the door put the castle steering wheels, with which it is much easier to move the bolts. Who does not like a noticeable wheel, may prefer the subtle turntable.
• It is from the accessories, the number and types of locks with which the webs are completed from the manufacturer, and the final cost of the doors depends. You can, of course, buy a door without anything, and complete it yourself. It will give some kind of savings, but it’s not at all the fact that you will be able to establish everything as it should.
• Typically, manufacturers of such doors can offer the client several options for a complete set - and not only locks, but also fittings, eyes: simple, or equipped with a video camera (see Video door eye: how to choose and install it yourself) So the buyer always has a choice.

As for the installation of the door itself, let the experts do it better, especially since many trading companies today offer their customers a free service. Yes, and the replacement of the lock, if necessary, of course, for a fee, can be done by specialists who installed the door.
