What is a Steel Door? What Should Be Considered While Buying a Steel Door?

Although many problems of human beings have disappeared with the development of technology, it has also brought some problems with it. One of these problems is undoubtedly the safety of property and life. As Kurtoğlu steel door family, we have dealt with this problem of humanity extensively since 1989 and we have become one of the indispensable companies of Turkey in the sector in the developing market conditions.

What is a Steel Door?

These are the doors, the main material of which is sheet metal, and the exterior and interior reinforcements are a whole, providing sound insulation and fire resistance, especially adding security to the household against theft.

Should I Trust Every Steel Door?

Unfortunately, many steel doors produced in the sector in Turkey and the doors attached to existing apartments can pose a serious threat to security. There are several factors that determine the durability of a steel door. These also determine the characteristics of the steel door; correct manufacturing, correct size, correct assembly and correct reinforcements to important parts of the door.

Considerations When Buying Steel Doors

  • Care should be taken that the sheet metal frame structure of the door is not made of 3 horizontal profiles. Although most steel doors on the market are like this, the back part of the furniture is empty and the interior of the house can be reached with small blows. It is in the first place in the issues that must be considered when buying a product.
  • Whether there is reinforcement in the lock and hinge parts and the middle binoculars of the door is among the important issues.
  • Care should be taken whether the hinges used are in TSE standards or not. It is necessary to pay attention to how many mm sheet the leaf part of the hinges used is made of and that the leaf hinge is not mounted with a sheet metal screw.
  • The barrel protection armors of the steel door are required to be manufactured from hydrated steel in order to comply with TSE standards. Armours made of diluted steel are not damaged by drill impacts, drill bits slide on the surface during drilling. This is extremely important for the barrel storage. Unfortunately, there are hardly any armors used in this way in the market. We can witness that even plastic armor is used in the current market doors. As Kurtoğlu steel door family, we manufacture the hinges we use ourselves, and we attach great importance to security issues.
  • If we come to the frame part of the door, the frame must be made of at least 1.5 mm sheet metal. In addition, the screw parts of the case must be reinforced with sheet metal reinforcements.
