Why Security Doors Must Be Installed Properly.

A popular saying has it that whatever that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. In the same way, a door that should be installed should be installed well. This is to say that once a security door is installed properly, there is no more problems. And whenever it is installed anyhow, problems are bound to arise.
The first problem that should be expected when a door is not properly installed is the security door locking out or locking in the security door owner. It mostly happens in emergencies, maybe the owner is in a hurry to go to somewhere or to retrieve something from the house or room. This most times gives rise to panic and anxiety which gives rise to the second problem.
This second problem can be a reaction from the the first one and that is the breaking of the key. Anxious to get the lock opened, the person opening the door may end up breaking the key to the lock. Leaving a part of the key inside the key cylinder and foreclosing the idea of unlocking the door at that interim. A door that has been very hard to lock and unlock always leads to the breaking of the key.
The security door in itself may refuse to be closing at all,in the sense that the locking or closing tongue is not aligned to the hole it should enter. This brings up a bigger problem because the reason for the door has been defeated.
Also, whenever the door frames are not properly flushed to the walls, the beauty of the door has been removed from it. And when used over a long time, the door must pullout from its position.
The reasons above and more tell us why our security doors should be properly installed at all times, instead of cutting corners.

How To Determine The Opening Side Of A Door.

Image
Whenever a door opening side is mentioned, what should come to an individual's mind is nothing but the side a door leaf swings to when opened. This opening side can only be determined by standing at the normal front side of the door in the opposite direction. The door opening side is a parameter that whenever neglected, a door becomes a nuisance and may end up being removed from its position. So, whenever we have doors to install, we should not hesitate to consider the points highlighted below. 1.  Whenever a door space is cited closer to an adjacent room wall or at the point of intersection where the two adjoining room walls meet each other,the door leaf should swing to the direction of the adjacent wall. This is to guarantee an easy access to the room and not the door leaf causing obstruction.  The picture below is a picture of a door leaf swinging to the left direction when it is opened from the front side. 2. If the walls and door space arrangement is not like what...

Door Sizes And Their Uses.

Image
Doors come in different sizes and these sizes are based on the particular part of the building where it is installed. Specific door sizes are adapted to particular areas in a building. Some door sizes do better as building access doors instead of room doors or as toilet doors. There are three major door sizes and they include: 1.  2.6ft doors 2.   3ft doors 3.   4ft doors 2.6ft doors are specially used as toilet and bathroom doors. The width of this kind of door is approximately 2.6ft. It does not mean that other door sizes cannot be used for the toilet and bathroom but 2.6ft doors are the most appropriate. 3ft doors are also called room doors because they remain the best profile whenever we have room doors in mind. 2.6ft doors are too small for this adaptation and 4ft doors are too big. But they can as well be used for that purpose but it is not the best practice. 4ft doors are most appropriate as building access doors by the virtue of their sizes which is approx...
