Installation of a steel door.
Any metal door, compared to doors from other materials, has a fairly large weight, and therefore its installation will be somewhat more complicated. To install the door correctly, you should seek help from specialists, however, if you are simply deprived of such an opportunity, then this can be done yourself and yourself. The main thing here is the correct approach to this responsible issue.
The first thing to do is to prepare a doorway and wall. Since the metal doors are heavy, it is much more difficult to install them and the point is not that it is difficult to keep even several men, but rather that not all walls can withstand this weight and eventually begin.
For proper preparation of the doorway, in which you will install steel doors from the manufacturer, you need to pay attention to the design of the room itself. The fact here is that in different periods of construction, various installation technologies were used. For example, it’s not bad if the frame of the opening is laid out of brick. In this case, the whole structure will last a very long time, since the brick has no properties to deform or collapse. It will be more difficult if the cement frame. Such a frame is very poorly “holding” a large weight, and after some time it will fragrantly fix the door frame in which the steel door will be located.
In the event that the doorway is uneven or there is a need for its expansion, special tools are used. There are two ways to expand the opening: using percussion tools and special equipment. Working by the first method, you will spend much more time, but it will not be possible to achieve a flat surface. This method will require minor costs from you. The second method will require you to have special equipment, which will allow you to cut the doorway along the required line in a short time. This method is most accurate, and therefore the doors will stand exactly. The disadvantages of this method include the formation of a large amount of dust, which is scattered everywhere. To clean it, you can use a special vacuum cleaner.
After the preparation of the doorway is completed, the box is installed in it. Clines made of wood are driven into the holes between the wall and the box, which will hold the door in the opening. The door is also fixed with the help of nuts and anchor bolts. The remaining holes in the space between the box and the door are poured with a binding solution, the role of which is played by the heat insulator, mounting foam or concrete.
