What options are available for a steel hinged door?
A steel hinged door is more versatile than you might think. In addition to choosing the design, colour and door hardware, there are various options for adapting the door to the way a space is used. For example, would you like to minimise noise and heat loss, have the door close automatically or be able to lock a room? In this article, we explore the different options available for a steel hinged door.
The basics: a steel hinged door with a frame
A steel hinged door comes with a matching steel frame and opens in one direction. The door closes into the frame, making a steel hinged door suitable for spaces you want to separate effectively. Consider, for example, an office, wine cabinet or room with an indoor swimming pool.
Our hinged doors are always made to measure and supplied with a steel frame. Do you currently have a standard internal door with a wooden frame? In that case, the existing door and frame must first be removed and the doorway neatly finished before we can install the new steel hinged door.
A magnetic catch with a handle of your choice
We can equip your steel hinged door with a magnetic catch. A magnet holds the door in place when it is closed. The main advantage? There is no need for a traditional door handle mechanism. This gives you greater freedom when choosing your door hardware. For example, you can select a handle that complements the design of the door and the rest of your interior.
Additional sealing to reduce noise and heat loss
Would you like to seal off a room as effectively as possible? You can opt for a hinged door with rubber seals and a drop-down seal. The rubber seals provide a better fit between the door and its frame. The drop-down seal is fitted to the bottom of the door and automatically lowers when the door closes, sealing the gap underneath. Together, these features help reduce noise, draughts and heat loss.
A door closer for automatic closing
Another option is to add a door closer. This allows the hinged door to close automatically after being opened, so you don’t have to remember to close the door behind you.
A hinged door with a lock
A steel hinged door can also be fitted with a lock. Depending on its intended use, you can choose from various types of locks, such as a cylinder lock, a toilet lock or an electric lock.
Which option is right for your space?
Choosing the right hinged door depends on where it will be installed and how you intend to use it. Is an attractive passageway between two rooms sufficient, or do you have higher requirements for sound insulation, heat retention or the ability to lock the door?
