Now we need to go choose, but how to choose from a huge number of offered steel entrance doors’ each company claims that its front doors, if not the best, are much better than competitors, and the service is such that competitors are far away. Let’s try without going into the technical directions to understand the problem. A rather tough competition has developed on the steel entrance door market, and each player of this market tries to get ahead of other players in something. Someone has a low price, someone has a good service. Why low price ‘after all, everyone knows that free cheese happens only in the mousetrap. Who will put this very door ‘and the most important question: is this front door so good as it is advertised now in order.

First, door price ‘

High-quality steel front door cannot cost less than $ 150-200. And the steel entrance doors above $ 2000 are already armored doors of the third protection class that can withstand not only a pistol shot, but also the line of the Kalashnikov assault rifle. If you are not an oligarch and do not buy for ‘last blood “, then you have something to choose from. A very large group of steel entrance doors presented on the Russian market in this price range is ready-made steel entrance doors (under standard opening) of domestic and foreign manufacturers. A distinctive feature of these doors is a large selection of models, high quality at a relatively low price. As a rule, all models of steel entrance doors have appropriate certificates.

The second one who puts the front door to you ‘

Suppose you are not going to study all the subtleties of the door craft, especially in the part of the installation of the entrance doors. As practice shows, and television constantly reminds us that changing the castle after the builders will not be superfluous, but again, and who will put this new castle…“It turns out that there is already there, these are locks with two keys sets, the so-called locks ‘with a transcoding’. One set of keys is given to builders or installers while they work. After the end of work, you begin to use the second set of keys, after which the first set becomes a non -working. But it is better that your front door is equipped with at least two locks one of which is equipped with steel crossbars. The eye with a wide review does not hurt, and the call will not be superfluous.

Well, the last question is, is this steel door so good as it is advertised ‘

As a rule, the appearance corresponds to advertising. For the rest, require certificates: conformity, fire safety, sanitary and epidemiological conclusion. And know, your steel front door must correspond to GOST R 51072-97: Protective doors. General technical requirements and methods of testing resistance to hacking and pudding.
