Security Doors

Special Security Doors for Your Home and Office Overview Special Security Doors for residential and commercial buildings have unique designs and construction mechanisms for protection from external elements and threats. The access points can be within a building or from the external to internal connectivity points. The level and type of security will vary, depending on the building type, security threats, surrounding environment, and other related exit and entry verification factors.

Door Dimensions – Critical Security Factors The dimension of Security Doors plays an important role in determining the strength and stability factors.

You should also consider the frame and wall dimension to ensure the maximum possible protection factors. Steel doors should preferably have steel or other metal alloy based frames.

Frame Design and Construction Chassis systems of door frames provide stability, strength, and flexibility to the doors. Rebate-profile is the other technical specification that you need to consider for ensuring door strength and stability factors.

Door Adjustor Number and Quality Every security door will have adjusters for ensuring the smooth opening and closing operations. Each side of the door will have a minimum of 12 adjusters along with the height from top to bottom. Distance between adjusters should be even and the number of screws on every adjustor should be same (minimum of four). Securing the adjusters to the frame and both sides of the door are the most important factor that can ensure maximum security.

Quality of adjusters depends on the metal and dimensions. Galvanized steel with the minimum length, width, and thickness as specified by the British standards will ensure the highest quality of protection mechanism.

Door Skin Dimensions Outer and inner skins of security-door should have metal plate reinforcements for ensuring strength and stability. They should be highly resistant to heat, humidity, fire, flood, and other forms of intended attacks using sharp and heavy objects.

Internal Door Fillings The space between the external layer and internal layer of the door cannot be void, because it can result in bending and breaking. Hence, it is very important to fill the void with honeycomb sheets, metal mesh, and other filling materials can increase the protection mechanism internally and externally.

Security Bolt Design Design of security bolts is the most critical factor that can ensure flexibility and security of doors to the maximum extent. The OEM has to ensure minimum/maximum numbers for every leaf on the door to prevent security risks.

Locking Mechanisms – Position and Number The locking mechanism of the doors can be located at three unique positions, namely middle, and top.

The number of levers on every section depends on the security level required for the door. It is a good practice to opt for multi-lever locks with the middle locking system being controlled by an automated mechanism.

Door System – Single and Double The single door system is ideal for exterior access while the double door system is stated to be good for internal access systems. You can choose the installation types based on your specific security and access requirements.

Conclusion Security doors for your home and office are the protectors of people and property from external elements and attack threats. Choosing the doors that conform to the British Standards can ensure the best quality and durability factors.
