How do armored doors differ from conventional steel doors?

Armored doors actually have nothing to do with armor. This concept, used in everyday life, means burglar-proof metal doors. The canvas consists of metal sheets with stiffening ribs, the inner space is filled with a sealant. Armored structures differ from conventional steel structures:

  • using solid iron plates:
  • sheet thickness;
  • the presence of stiffeners: horizontal and vertical;
  • reinforced locks, hinge protection.

The main task of the armored door is to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the building, office, apartment. A burglar-proof door reliably protects the room from burglary attempts, the higher the class, the longer.

How to choose certified burglar-proof doors

The best option for an apartment, a residential building, an office space, according to Ideal experts, a company that manufactures armored structures – is the 3rd and 4th class. 1-2 are not reliable enough, they can be opened with simple improvised tools. 5-6th – premium class, purchased for notary offices, banks, places of storage of important documents, especially valuable property.

Outwardly, it is almost impossible to distinguish between ordinary steel and burglar-resistant products. To ensure high-quality protection of housing and property, choose an armored door with:

  • thickness of steel sheets not less than 2 mm;
  • weighing from 80 kg;
  • powerful heavy box;
  • two external locks – cylinder and safe (lever) locks;
  • a latch-night light.

Thus, you will buy the product at a reasonable price and with a quality guarantee. Ideal provides a 10-year warranty. It is also advisable to order door installation services directly from the seller.
