Metal door with your own hands?

It's on the shoulder even a novice master if he can handle the welding machine.

Of course, you will not manage to make a complex model immediately, but to make and install the base model of the front door - it is quite accessible.

The significance of the entrance door is difficult to underestimate.

This is not only the first and main border that prevents the penetration of unclean to the hand of citizens into your home, but also one of the key details of the interior of a residential building.

Noise isolation and adjustment of the air temperature in the room are another two functions of the inlet metal door.

And if you start in the apartment overhaulThe question of putting a new inlet metal door is solved one of the first.

The ready-made door purchased in the store does not guarantee that there are no hidden defects, and there is no price there for a pocket there, it will be difficult to adjust it, and noise insulation will not suit you.

Well, independently made shaped doors are still ahead, but we will start with the simplest.

As in other cases, the manufacture of a metal door begins with paperwork, in other words, we have to create a drawing.

To make the drawing to be accurate and appropriate true, you have to determine the size.

The design scheme proposed for familiarizes the input door will introduce you to the names and location of the main nodes and elements.

Preparing a schema

The drawing of the inlet metal door is a large-scale diagram of the door canvase, which will be assembled and the installation of the product, with the dimensions of the door frame, the location of the ribs, hinges.

Arming a tape measure and remove measurements from the doorway.

Standard is the size of the door size of 90 x 200 cm, if the actual dimensions of the opening are much more data, it makes sense to install a separate block on top or side of the door leaf.

The side unit can be made deaf or swing, and the top is to close with sheet glazing, glazing or stratum.

All this is also applied to our drawing.

The dimensions of the door box must be 2 cm less than the doorway - it will be a mounted gap in which the unit installation is adjusted to avoid breaks. Below is the diagram of the metal door in the context.

Most often the door is attached to 2-4 loops, their amount depends on weight, which has your design.

The loops are external and hidden, the second option is more complicated in the manufacture and requires certain skills.

Since we are trying to make a "door for beginners", we will stop in the first version.

For a uniform load distribution, the loops must be made at an equal distance between themselves, and the top and bottom loop should be located at a distance of 15 cm from the edge of the door.

You can make ribs in any direction - horizontally, vertically or mesh, as well as diagonally - everything is at your discretion.

The ribs need to be done so that they do not pass in places where the castle mounting will be performed, eye, door knob.

The number of ribs are determined by themselves, it should ensure the incidence of the door under its own weight, otherwise after some time the door will need to be repaired.

So, the drawing is ready.

Cooking materials and tools

Deciding with the sizes, prepare the set of tools that we need when working, count the number essential materials And go to the store.

We offer you an exemplary list of tools:

• welding machine;
• drill;
• a set of screwdrivers or screwdriver;
• bulgarian;
• clamps;
• files or grinding machine;
• goats or door assembly;
• measuring instruments (corner; roulette, etc.);
• building level.

For metal doors standard size Read:

• steel sheet with a thickness of 2-3 mm - 100 x 200 cm;
• metal corner 3; 2 x 3; 2 cm - 6 p.m. (for the door frame);
• profile pipe 5 x 2; 5 cm - about 9 pm. (for the door frame and rigidity);
• metal plates 40 x 4 cm thick 2-3 mm - minimum 4 pieces (for mounting the door frame to the walls);
• door hinges;
• lock;
• accessories;
• anchor bolts;
• anti-corrosion coating;
• metal paint;
• mounting foam.

Accessories and castle choose to your taste. Manufacturers offer a large selection of locks, the most reliable of which are considered tripartite.

The castle with the rigels on the three sides, of course, it is more difficult to establish, but it is also not easy to hack it.

If you make a metal door for the utility room (shed), it is allowed to make a lightweight economical option - in this case, for the rigid rigids instead profile pipe A thick reinforcement rod is used.

Build door

Working on the assembly of the metal door is made in several stages.

Collect the box

From the proftrube, it is necessary to make blanks for the box, the corners cut off in the angle at an angle of 90 °, lay the corner with a rectangle, fasten the clamps and grab welding.

After checking the perpendicularity of the sides of the sides by the coal, and also measure the distance between the angles oppositely diagonally and compared, the obtained measurements should be equal.

If there is a breakdown, then additional adjustment will be required. If everything is in order, then we perform the final welding and grinding of the seams.

The same scheme will be used a little later to assemble the door frame.

We weld to the box metal mounting plates.

Collect door leaf

Here we will need a new measurement - remove the dimensions on the inner walls of the door frame.

Recovering 7-10 cm on each side, we obtain the actual sizes of the frame of our metal door.

We write from the corners of the segment of the desired length and produce pre-processing, similar to the workpiece for the door frame.

We put the prepared corners inside the finished box, forming a rectangle, and conduct a controlling prominance of the design.

If necessary, we produce fit and brew joints tightly.

We proceed to the manufacture of the door leaf, for which the steel sheet is placed on the table (goats), we place the finished frame and the contour of the desired dimensions, retreating from the external edges of the frame by about 10 cm.

Cut the sheet along the contour, grind the locations of the sections and weld it to the frame.

Be careful, to avoid deformation do not make welding with a continuous insecible seam.

It is much more functional to perform welding with segments of about 30 mm with a period of 15-20 mm in the direction from the center to the edges of the product.

Do not hurry, periodically give the doors to cool, otherwise hidden defects may appear, and repair doors will have to do after a short time.

Door canvas lay on the table with the outside side down, on top you need to install the door frame.

Using lining with a thickness of 2-5 mm throughout the perimeter, the position of the box is adjusted relative to the frame.

This gap will later install a sealing ribbon, which will increase the quality of the door as noise insulation.

On the finished door canvase, we make feeds under the inner lock and, if necessary, under the eyes, we drill holes for fastening the door handle, carefully brush the edges of the holes.

The size of the cut for the lock should be such that its installation is without a backlash, but ensured access to the lock if the repair is required.

Cut the lock itself and perform the installation of fittings we will be a little later.

If you use a mounted lock, then you need to install on the same level of the door web and the box of the lining for it.

Breppy on the door frame of half door loops with grooves, the second parts of the loops (with pins awarded up) weld at the appropriate places to the doorway so that they are located on the same axis, spinning the welding location.

Some loops are equipped with lubrication holes, in this case, their installation should provide access to the technological holes and the ability to remove the door if it is necessary to make repairs.

We wipe the metal structure from dust and chips so that there are no hidden defects after the painting, we applied anti-corrosion protection, on top of which, after drying, you can perform a tinting, or make a decorative finish.

You can clearly familiarize yourself with the process of making an inlet metal door using the video below.

Mount the door

Door box put in the opening and carry out adjustment using a plumb and level so that in the near future did not have to do repairs.

Having achieved the right position of the box, we produce installation, fixing the steel hinges to the wall with the help of anchors, inspire the door leaf on the loop.

We check - if the installation is performed correctly, the metal door will be closed and open without distortion, without engaging behind the door frame, and the loops will move without effort.

At the final stage, the installation of the eye, the locking of the lock and the installation of the handle is performed.

The lock and the handle are attached to the door with bolts so that in the subsequent can be easier to perform their repair or replacement.

After installing the lock, rub the end sides of the riglels with chalk and make marks on the door frame. Cut the metal according to the resulting labels, forming the grooves for the riglels.

For additional protection of the lock from a possible hacking, we weld the segment of the corner to the doorway in the locations of the riglels, it also makes sense to make the doorway in the place of installation of the lock, welding from its inside the steel sheet with a thickness of 6 mm.

At the same stage, the operation of the lock is performed, the door closing density.

Another video for those who makes the repair gives very topical recommendations on how to properly strengthen the door and cut the lock, how the adjustment is passed.

Now you can proceed to the final finish.

At the very beginning of the article, it was already mentioned that the metal door at the entrance to the house should perform some functions, such as noise insulation, preventing foreign smells and low temperature air from the outside.

The most practical, efficient and cheap insulating material for finishing doors is generally accepted ordinary foam.

We cut a foam into pieces of the desired size and lay them without lumen in the space of the door leaf between the ribs of stiffness.

For better sealing, we use mounting foamwhich we embrace the space between the foam and ribs of stiffness, around the lock, as well as the moaning of the inner space of the rigidity of stiffness through the pre-drilled holes.

Noise isolation is also well provided by the Ministry of Service.

From the inside, the metal door can be seen by wooden slats, MDF panels or other finishing materials, and on the perimeter of the door leaf, we glue the sealing tape.

We throw the mounting gaps between the door frame and the discovery of the doorway. Our design is ready for operation!

Now you can be sure that the hidden defects in this design are missing, the quality of the input metal door is 100%, and the performance of work has made it possible, performing repair, save a considerable amount from the family budget.

Installation of the inlet metal door we demonstrate the masters in this video lesson.

The entrance door is a visiting card of any home. Therefore, it should not only look beautiful, but also provide good thermal insulation, harmoniously approach the design and architecture of the building. The safety and reliability of this design directly depends on the safety of property, as well as the protection of housing from the penetration of cold air, precipitation and noise from the street.

To date, the choice of doors is provided in a wide range, and each model is characterized by its complete set and external forms. The entrance design can be purchased on the finished form, to order or make yourself. Many it can surprise, but there is nothing difficult in it, it is simply necessary to perform the correct measurements, pick the desired version of the model and be patient.

It should be noted that the homemade design will be different original design And mostly emphasizes the entrance to the room.

Features and models

Entrance doors are installed both in the apartment and in a private house. Regardless of the placement of this design, its direct destination is considered reliable protection Housing from cold, noise and hacking. Therefore, choosing one or another model of the entrance door must be taken into account by many nuances. Recently, homemade structures from metal and wood are greatly popular, while metal doors are distinguished by their functionality and constructive features, they are resistant to explosions, hacking, fire-presting and puling.

As for the wooden options, they are characterized by an original aesthetic species, doors with sliding systems also deserve separate attention.

To date, there are many types of entrance doors. In their destination, they are:

• Fire and bulletproof.Such products are made of high-strength metal. In addition, such kinds of doors are additionally treated with firming compositions.
• Shockproof. Are the most reliable option for the protection of housing.
• Sound-insulating.Prevent the penetration of noise and sounds.
• Hermetic. Frequently installed in economic buildings.

Entrance doors can open different ways. There are swollen and sliding models of structures. In addition, the doors are classified by the number of sash and happen:

• Single. Created from solid canvases.
• Overhead. They are a design consisting of two parts, where only one opens.
• Double-sided. Large doors with two opening flaps.

Everything entrance doors Different with each other appearance and forms, therefore distinguish rectangular and arched products. Also popular designs with a deaf framuga.

Recently, manufacturers try to make an entrance in housing unusual, so they often decorate the doors with windows.

Materials

The entrance doors are made from different raw materials, and most often for independent production, metal and natural wood are used. It is worth noting that the functional properties of the structure will depend on the selected material, since the good and high-quality door should not pass the cold air and completely isolates the house from outsided sounds.

Despite the fact that metal products are very popular, still the tree does not lose their advantages and is often used in the production of doors. Such models are found as in modern apartmentsand in country houses. As a rule, such wooden designs Make an oak massif, as well as from birch and pine. Wood doors perfectly copble with insulation and retain heat well.

Due to the unique features of wood, products from the boards protect housing from the penetration of cold air flows.

In order for such products in the process of operation, it is not rotten and not covered with mold, they are additionally treated with special solutions that securely protect the canvas from wood pests and increase the service life. In addition, the tree is easy to handle and decorate various inserts or carvings. The only minus of this raw material is considered to be high cost, therefore, as an alternative, the panels from plywood are often used.

Unlike wood, metal structures have more advantages. They are durable and durable, and in order for such products to provide optimal insulation, they are covered with a protective layer. Metal doors also paint enamels and varnish, it protects their surface from rust and allows you to install both indoors and streets in country houses.

For self-making input structures, as a rule, the steel sheets are chosen.

Recently, you can also meet plastic or metal plastic doors. They are designed for buildings where there is the possibility of a tambourous heating, because plastic does not retain heat. In addition, such products will require additional protection in the form of alarm or gratings. Although plastic is easy to install, it is still not suitable for houses.

Huge selection color Gamma.The presence of decorative inserts and ease of care allows you to apply plastic doors to enter various organizations and offices.

Dimensions

Before starting the work on the manufacture of the input design, it is necessary to first decide on the size of the future product and correctly measure the doorway. It is worth paying attention to the fact that in each apartment or house the dimensions of the openings may differ. If you plan to install a standard single door, then for it the web 860 × 2050 mm or 960 × 2050mm will be needed. If necessary, you can make non-standard panels. For simple bivalve doors, 1200x2050 mm or 1400x2050 mm can be used, but for office space and private houses it is best to choose more designs - 1500x2100 mm or even 1600x2100 mm.

Often, when installing the entrance doors, it is necessary to deal with such a problem as non-standard dimensions. Most. optimal decision In this situation, the extension or laying of the outlook itself will be.

Step-by-step instruction

Housing repair takes a lot of time and money, so often many owners are being sighted for a desperate step and perform finishing work With installing entrance doors yourself. Of course, the design can be purchased in the finished form, but if there is a desire to save money, it is quite realistic to make it yourself. Before starting to make the door, you need to decide on external forms and load, which will be on the product.

It will also be necessary to prepare the following tools:

• Roulette;
• Pencil;
• Hacksaw;
• A hammer;
• Self-tapping screw;
• Screwdriver;
• Lobzik;
• Glue.

In addition, at the end of the work, the doors must be beautifully decorated, so it is important to measure the goodness correctly, place the box, and the doorways decorate with platbands or good items.

You can choose different material But the most affordable is the natural tree. To make a quality product, you should give a preference to a bruster with a width of 5 mm and a thickness of no more than 4 mm. Such canvas will provide excellent sound insulation. In addition, in wooden doors It is easier to install the threshold and put the steps. As for technology mounting work, then they are based on the faithful measurements of the door frame, it is from them that the maximum coolant of the timber with the frame will depend on them. And for street construction, it will also be needed to cook the loops and make painting the surface.

For the manufacture of a standard door is assembled with a length of 205 cm long, while its width can be different. Initially, the workpiece is made, which will have a form of a frame. Then the Fiberboard sheet is cut on the frame size and fixes with self-draws. After assembling such a design, the WHP is done. It is advisable to strengthen the bars not only by self-draws, but also glue.

The finished door is carefully dried, and then the loops are screwed and insert the lock. In order for the product to get an attractive look, it is recommended to additionally separate the dermatin on the gasket. Thus, the door will work out beautiful and insulated.

Special attention when installing the design you also need to give the locking of the lock. Its thickness must correspond to the thickness of the canvas. In addition, the lock is a subtle mechanism, so it is not allowed in its installation even in 1 mm.

As for painting, this is the final stage of the work, and it is carried out only after the box is installed.

How to insulate?

One of the destination of the input design is considered good thermal insulationTherefore, the canvas should be well insulated. For this use various technologies. If the box is made of metal, then first of all you need to fill it in an internal unused cavity. In this case, it is filled with a special insulation material in the form of mineral wool or foam. Also so that the door is warm, it can be seen wooden timber. The only disadvantage of such technology is the formation of cold bridges.

The front door and dermatin is well insulated. With this technology, the door leaf is rummage only on the one hand, and the thin layer of the insulation is applied into two openings. Thermal insulation is glued directly on the door, and then it is decorated with dermantine or genuine leather.

No less important is the protection of construction from drafts. For this use two ways:

• Warming of gaps between the box and the canvas. A rubber or foam seal is well suited as thermal insulation. It is attached using a self-adhesive basis and applied both on the box itself and the canvas.
• Opening the door box.The upholstery of the outdoor and inner sides of the slopes are performed, and the gaps between the opening and the design are filled with insulating material.

Iron doors are used everywhere. They are installed not only in apartments, but also in private houses, baths, other seasons. It is such doors that are able to reliably protect the property from the encroachment of intruders.

However, it is not always possible to purchase a decent metallic door. First, the role of a high pricing policy factor is played, secondly, it is sometimes necessary to make the door of a special size or using certain materials.

Handling the iron door, you can be sure that the design will be really high quality, and the cost of materials will not be unbearable.

Before making the door of steel, it is necessary to thoroughly measure the doorway and make sure that the wall is brick masonry or a layer of concrete, and not a thick layer of plaster or plywood.

When the doorway is measured, you can start working on the design drawing. It necessarily reflects the dimensions of the door, the installation height of the lock and loops, the position of the rigidity and other constructive features Doors.

Note! If in the process of measurements of the testimony, more than 1500 * 2000 mm are obtained, then the door box is recommended to make the national team, adding an additional frame, stitched with metal from above. In private houses in wide doorways add two additional glazed modules, which not only strengthen the entire design of the door, but also decorate the entire input group.

Materials for the manufacture of doors, tool

Option first. Classic iron door

The classic iron door consists directly from the canvas, a metal door frame connecting their loops and fastening plates that fix the door in the opening.

Step 1

Note! Works must be performed on a metal workbench.

We collect the door frame (box). To do this, for the previously produced marks, we cut a metal profile (corner) at an angle of 45 degrees. We check the accuracy of the cutting, connecting the frame and applying the joiner.

Can also collect a frame from metal pipes, welding them between themselves into a rectangular design. When working, it is important to check not only the accuracy of the connection of the angles, but also produce the designs of the design diagonals to avoid skew.

All welded seams immediately process a corner machine. It is necessary that in the future the canvas firmly lightened to the box.

Step 2.

We make blanks for the door frame. Use metal corner. The gap between the door frame and the box will withstand within 5 mm - from the castle side and 3 mm from the other three sides. For convenience, you can prepare metal rectangles of the stated thickness (templates).

Location and cut a metal profile. Insert it inside the door frame. Checking the diagonal. If they match, then in one of the lateral profiles we make a slot for door Castle. Next, we grab the welding corners of the frame and both frames around the perimeter in several places.

At this stage, you can screw the metal stripes on the door frame, which will be retained for the future door weighing.

Step 3.

In the middle of the future door leaf, weld the first edge rigidity. To do this, measure the length of the door frame, cut off the profile and welding fix it vertically in the center. Clean the welds with a grinder.

Step 4.

We make the markup of the door canvase. Powders of the steel sheet per box of 10-15 mm, from the loop side - 5 mm.

Inside the door leaf weld the horizontal ribs of stiffness. If they are not enough, the number of reinforcement should be increased.

Step 5.

Install the castle. Making a chalk or marker markup on the door canvase. Drill the keyhole, process it with a file. Drills holes for fastening the castle, we cut the thread and fix the lock with bolts. Install the lock handle.

Attention! Instructions for installing the input door lock may vary depending on the modification of the product you purchased.

Cylinder castle

Step 6.

Lubricate the loops and weld them to the doorway and the door canvase frame.

Bulgarian cut the place of the compound of the frame and the door leaf (grabbed by welding sections). Reveal the door. Fix the loop with welding from the inside.

Note! At this stage, you can drill a hole under the door eye or through the central vertical profile and sheet metal, or shocking the eye almost to the side and driving the hole only in the steel canvase.

Step 7.

Let's make fasteners for the door. We take metal stripes (from 6 to 10 pieces). We weld them to the door frame. In the future, the holes for anchors will appear in these strips.

Step 8.

Warm the door. Cut the foam, mineral Wat either any other insulation. Fill over the space between the ribs of the door stiffness.

We make an inner decorative trim. For example, you can use plywood cut-out sheet and secure it with rivets. Also for finishing mono use laminated, plastic panels or lining. The last option is especially relevant if the door is installed in the bath.

Step 9.

The door is ready. It remains to cover with automotive primer and paint. Instead of staining, the door can be seen dermatin or skin. If necessary, install seals on the door frame.

You can proceed to the installation, driving the holes in the previously welded strips of steel and fixing the door frame in the opening anchors. When installing, it is important to use the level to eliminate the skew.

Option second. Metal door with a window and cold forging elements

Usually entrance doors with double-glazed windows are installed in private houses. Thanks to the window, there will be lighter in the hallway, and the forging elements will make parade input Exclusive and attractive externally.

The window in the doorway is manufactured at the cutting stage of the steel sheet. Next to the perimeter of the cut rectangular (or other shape) of the holes are welded metal fittings. Subsequent stages of work up to painting are similar to the classic door.

After staining in the window opening, it is necessary to install the double-glazed windows, and on the outside of the door, fasten the welding with a decorative grid, made by the method of cold or hot forging.

Additionally, you can install the closer on the front door. Then the design will be closed smoothly and silently.

Every person who knows how to use the welding machine, there is a desire to make a beautiful and reliable iron door with their own hands. This work requires skills, but the product will be individually guaranteed, durable and durable. The process of welding such doors will not require fantastic financial costs and does not take much time. It is necessary to calculate the amount of material and cook required toolsBut it is previously necessary to perform promresses and draw a detailed drawing of the future product. We describe in detail the entire production process and the sequence of operations.

Preparatory work consist in choosing the design and design of the future door, since each door is unique in size and can be a street or in-departure. To understand how to cook the door correctly, you need to decide on the material, fittings and decor that you want to use. In order to calculate the number of components, you need to make promresses and make an accurate drawing. In the process preparatory work It is necessary to take into account the following circumstances:

• recommended door dimensions are not more than 100 x 200 cm, otherwise it will be too heavy, because additional ribs of rigidity will be needed;
• if the dimensional dimensions exceed 200 cm in height, it is necessary to close the extra part of the outlook with warmed decorative or deaf inserts;
• if the output is wider than 100 cm, you can put a deaf insert or swing reliably fastened sash;
• determine which way the door will open, and choose the appropriate locks;
• calculate the location of locks and the door eye in accordance with the growth of residents;
• determine the type of paint, insulating and internal decorative coating;
• calculate the type and depth of the mounting nodes of the door frame, anti-loop pins and vertical attachment drive;
• calculate the parameters and determine the type of metal components.

It is very important to make sure that the box will be attached to the monolithic outlet, and not to wooden or plastered fragile surfaces.

In the drawing, made on the scale, the location of the eye, pens, key wells, hinges (from 2 to 4 pcs are), ribbiness and anti-sink devices and mechanisms should be indicated. To adjust the door leaf should be less than the box, and it in turn is less doorway for two centimeters.

Required tools and materials

Fast and high-quality work is possible only with a convenient and properly organized workplace and a good tool. Self welding metal doors Requires a certain instrumental minimum that consists of the following set:

1. comfortable and durable mounting table;
2. welding machine with a set of electrodes and mask;
3. marking tool, feltaster or sharpened chalk;
4. welding magnets with an angle of 90 o and clamps;
5. corner car (Bulgarian) with disks;
6. electric drill and screwdriver with a set of dried and bits;
7. perforator with toughwested swells;
8. good electrical extension cords;
9. roulette and construction level.

After the dimer and the compilation of a detailed drawing, you can accurately calculate the number and name of the metal required for welding doors, as well as pick up locks, loops and other components. Natural desire to emphasize his own individuality may affect the choice of material, and special attention here needs to be given to appearance, hinges, high secrecy of locks, anti-nodes and additional shut-off mechanisms. The standard set of materials for the metal door consists of the following elements:

• for the facial sheet, steel is selected with a thickness of at least 2-3 mm, according to the size of the door with a box overlap, usually 100 x 210 cm;
• the door frame is welded from angle of 3 x 3 cm;
• for the door frame and ribbon, the profiled tube is used 2.5 x 5 cm and strips;
• fastening the box to the opening is provided by 3 mm thick strips in an amount of 4-6 pcs. and 30 cm long;
• door loops in the amount of 3 pieces;
• selected accessories and fastening bolts;
• primer and polymer paint;
• insulation and internal decorative finish.

It is important that the locks have high wear resistance, and the loops were equipped with bearings providing noiselessness and long service life.

Sequence of welding operations

The process of welding doors is individual and depends on the specific project. It is necessary to parameters welding machine allowed to work stably at the existing voltage on the network. To comply with the necessary dimensions and corners, it is necessary as often as possible with a measuring instrument, as well as use special welding magnets when working. The sequence of operations is in the phased implementation of the following main points, namely:

• the door frame is placed and reproduced, the magnets are displayed at the corners, taking welding is performed;
• in case of disruption of the corner of the compound, it is adjusted, then the design is finally welded;
• seams from all sides are processed by a grinder;
• then the door frame with a mandatory variave diagonals is rebooted and welded;
• it is necessary to the gap between the box and the frame of 3 mm from three sides and 5 mm on the side of the locks of the locks;
• in the frame of the door, ribbon ribs, taking into account the location of locks, peephole, anti-loop pins, drive vertical constipation;
• we are placing the front leaf and weld it to the frame and the robers of stiffness with a seam of about 4 cm every 15-20 cm;
• we weld the loop, pre-wind the hole for lubrication;
• to the welded doors fasten the lock knot, pins and drill all the necessary holes;
• to the box we weld the plates for fastening, grinding and ground the iron door;
• next, it is painted, and after drying all the fittings are attached;
• the door leaf is insulated and finished from the inside with the final color.

It is important to carry out the production process without a rush, thoroughly freeing the angles and achieving the impeccable work of locks, vertical constipation and rotary loops.

Of course, this sequence does not reflect the nuances of each individual metal door, but the main scheme is set out correctly. Thickness, dimensions, and therefore, the weight is selected depending on the need and individuality of each owner. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that the additional mass will require an increase in rigidity, and this will lead to a larger load on the frame, loop and door frame.

RESULTS

We have been talking about how to calculate, post and weld the metal door with your own hands, about which tools are needed for this process, which sequence of actions must be observed. Quality comes with experience, but you will undoubtedly save significant financial resources, as well as make the door to your taste and sizes. Successful and successful work!

If the prospect of execution welding work Scares you less than the price tags on the doors of metal entrance - you can make it no worse for your dwelling. And if you compare with Chinese lots, then also much more reliable.

Limited below detailed instructions will help you cope with this task. It would seem that the choice in the market is so huge that there is no need to make it yourself. But for many, this process itself can be very interesting, and the ability to save a considerable role. However, to independently cope with this complex work, one desire is not enough. At a minimum, you need to have at least small skills in the weld and have the necessary tool.

To understand where to get started, what materials you need for this and in what quantity it is necessary to carefully study the opening. Often in homes old buildings The entrance doors are holding "on a honest word": if you pull out the box, it turns out that there was an emptiness between it and the capital wall, sealed by plaster.

Therefore, it is necessary to clean the opening to its real size to determine the size and design of the future door (see the size of metal doors: what is important to know). If the opening is standard (in our realities it is about 900x2000 mm), do it yourself it will not be so difficult.

If it is much wider, you will have to cook an additional metal frame and consolidate it on the side of the door. If the open is higher, then the additional frame is welded above the box. In her, if desired, you can insert a shockproof or armored glass.

Having received all the sizes you are interested in, make a detailed drawing of the design of the future metal door and count the required amount of materials.

Tools and materials

In this case, you will need:

• Steel sheet size 1000x2000 mm and 2 mm thick.
• Profiter 50x25 mm - 9 P.M. Of these, 6 p.m. For the manufacture of the box and 2-3 P.M. For ribs hardness.
