Entry Door Brief Description
Components of Entry Door
The door frame is the structural component that supports the entire door, playing a crucial role in its stability and appearance. Door frames are usually made of wood, steel, or aluminum and are resistant to corrosion, rust, and weathering.
The door panel is the central visual and functional part of the entry door, typically constructed from wood, steel, etc. It directly influences the door's aesthetic appeal and performance, such as insulation and soundproofing. Whether flat, recessed, or carved, the door panel can be customized to suit a variety of architectural styles and personal preferences.
Handles and hardware, including door handles, hinges, and closers, are essential for both functionality and design. The material choice, whether stainless steel, brass, or aluminum, contributes to the door’s overall durability and style.
The locking mechanism ensures the security of your home or building. Available in single-point, multi-point, and smart lock systems, it provides a range of options for protecting your property. Modern locking systems offer high security, multi-layered protection, and innovative technology, including features like fingerprint recognition and remote unlocking for added convenience.
Seals are typically located around the perimeter of the door frame and are used to insulate air flow, reduce noise, and improve the energy efficiency of the door. Common seal materials include rubber, sponge, and foam.
The threshold is located at the bottom of the door and is mainly used to enhance the sealing of the door to prevent the entry of wind, rain, and dust. It also has a particular aesthetic effect. Common materials include wood, metal (such as aluminum or stainless steel), and stone.
Many entry door designs include glass windows, commonly single-pane, double-insulated, and tempered glass. Glass windows allow natural light to enter the home through the door, improving lighting. Some high-end entry doors use blast or tempered glass to enhance security against breakage or intrusion.
