Protective functions

Mechanical strength. The high security entry door should provide perfect protection against entry to a dwelling, so its construction must be properly made. This means that alloyed steel should be used in the production of steel doors, while door size should accurately correspond to your doorway.

Installed locks. The vast number of entries to a dwelling is carried out by means of the front door break-in when the trespasser uses the master key. Therefore, the "heart" of a steel door responsible for the break-in resistance is a lock.

Long service life

Service life depends not only on the material from which the door is made, but also on proper installation. Therefore, choosing a steel door, refer only to those companies that provide professional installation of the front doors.

Internal filling of a steel door

Internal filling performs thermal and sound insulating functions. Metal is a good conductor of heat and sound, so the front door should contain a modern and high-quality filling inside for a comfortable indoor climate. In addition, you can use decorative panels made of MDF veneer or solid wood to further increase the thermal and sound insulation.

Appearance

When choosing a steel entry door pay attention to its aesthetic appeal. Currently, even the cheap doors can look elegant due to a wide range of finishing materials and trimmings. Steel doors with laminate or MDF (not to mention solid wood trimming) look quite respectable and noble.
