Entrance metal doors: dimensions with box. Standard and non-standard sizes

The security of a home depends on many factors. One of the main elements protecting the property of home owners are the entrance metal doors. Dimensions with a box should be measured correctly in order to purchase a suitable product in the store. In order not to lose with the choice, you should familiarize yourself with standard and non-standard sizes. From the correctness of the selection of dimensions will depend on the functionality of the product.

Components and materials of the entrance door

The reliability of the structure depends on the type of material, structural elements, and the good faith of the manufacturer. Entrance metal doors, the dimensions with the box which should be measured correctly before buying, have mandatory elements. These include:

• Canvas;
• Door frame;
• Framing;
• Strengthening;
• Sealing material;
• Platbands;
• Additional elements (lock, handle, eye).

The size of the entrance metal doors with the box largely depends on the type of material from which they are made.

For example, armored models are made from a thick corner. Its thickness is usually 50-60 mm. Such products will come out thicker than doors from profiled pipes.

The standard dimensions of the entrance metal doors with the box depend on the type of internal filler. It can be made in the form of 4-6 ribs, which give rigidity to the structure. Also the standard size of the metal entrance door depends on the type of internal insulation and sound insulation.

How to choose the front door

To date, there are many standards that determine the size of the opening for the entrance metal doors. Therefore, for each type of dwelling choose the right model individually.

If things are simpler with ordinary "Khrushchevs" and "brezhnevks", things are building new high-rise buildings, like private houses, using a variety of technologies.

Therefore, it is quite difficult to correctly determine the standard dimensions of the input metal doors with the box. It all depends on where you want to install the design. Standards in the current environment to adhere to is almost impossible. In a private house, the entrance metal door is easier to install, as the size of the opening can be adjusted without affecting all floors. In high-rise buildings, the load on the walls is much greater. Therefore, violating their integrity is highly undesirable.

Standard sizes

The standard dimensions of the entrance metal doors are determined in accordance with the requirements of SNiP and GOST 6629-88.

Typically, the ratio of structural elements has the following relationship.

• The height of the opening is 207-210 cm, width 88-96 cm assumes the use of a block size of 205x86 cm.
• If at the same height the width is 98-106 cm, then the design has dimensions of 205x96 cm.
• Entrance metal doors, the opening dimensions of which are in the range 297-210х90-98 cm, will be equal to 205х88 cm.
• Selecting the size of the entrance metal door under the opening width of 100-108 cm, the dimensions of the product should be 205h98 cm.

Such indicators are considered standard for such designs, so they can be used as a basis for calculations.

Standard models

Manufacturers of doors according to standard sizes produce models of a certain type.

"Standard" is the basic economical model, the coating of which imitates wood species.

"Elite" is a metal entrance door insulated, the dimensions of which are calculated according to its type of construction. Its hinges are hidden, and the body is made of compacted metal.

"Platinum" refers to the elite versions of structures that have hardened materials and security systems of locks.

The entrance metal sealed door "VIP", the dimensions of which must be taken into account in the calculations, has a reinforced girder system and an Interactive cylinder.

"Stained glass", "Grandstyle" and other similar varieties have glazed metal doors.

"Arch" has the shape and size of the opening under the entrance metal door in the form of a semicircle.

There are other types of designs.

Measurement rules

To buy a suitable size of the opening of the street entrance doors made of metal, you should correctly measure their length and width. There is a special technique how to properly perform such actions.

All measurements should be made from the base of the wall. Therefore, if the trim from the old design has not yet been dismantled, they should be removed. They occupy some area.

Then, using a centimeter, measure the length and width of the opening and check the readings with standard dimensions. If necessary, adjust. However, it should be noted that not all products meet the standards of SNiP and GOST. For example, the size of the input metal door of Chinese manufacturers may differ from domestic standards. Therefore, adjust the opening should be after the acquisition of the door.

When measuring, it is necessary to clean the base so that during the installation, due to crumbling plaster, you do not have to buy a door of a different size.

Metal entrance doors are warmed by the weather, the dimensions of which are calculated on the basis of the type of their material, they need smooth walls of the basement. Therefore, measuring the opening with a level, determine how much it is even.

Accounting of the door frame

Previously, the sale of metal entrance doors was made without a box. The buyer was offered to purchase separately linen and trim. Today, the technology of production of structures implies the joint, inseparable sale of products such as a box and metal entrance doors. The sizes, the standard of which is used in our country, take into account this nuance.

Dimensions of the box are important to consider the owner of their own homes. In conventional high-rise buildings, the entrance metal doors, whose opening dimensions are quite often the standard sizes, do not assume a wide variety of designs.

In a private house, the front door can be double-leafed, half-arched, arched type, have stained-glass windows and other varieties of design. Therefore, for such products, non-standard sizes are often used. Then the box and door leaf are selected individually.

Thickness of the door

When deciding the size of the input metal doors is best suited to the existing opening, you should pay attention to the thickness of the walls. This is a very important indicator, both length and width.

Quite often the thickness of the walls does not coincide with the door frame and linen. In this case, the dimensions of the opening are corrected by means of slopes and platbands. They will also be able to additionally isolate the dwelling from drafts and noise.

The discrepancy between the thickness of the opening and the entrance door can lead to incomplete opening of the structure. The door will strike against the protruding end.

Nuances in determining the size

Select the entrance door with the box should be smaller than the opening. You can find the width of the canvas and add 70 mm. This will make the right choice.

For domestic manufacturers, the width of the canvas starts at a size of 60 cm. It then increases by 10 cm to a width of 90 cm. The most popular size is 80 cm. The opening must be 87 cm wide. Its height reaches 210 cm.

Few other standards have Chinese metal entrance doors. The dimensions of such products sometimes differ from our GOST. This should be taken into account when buying similar products.

If the opening has non-standard parameters, it is possible to make a door to order. This product will be more expensive than their usual options.

Custom sizes

There are both multi-storey and private houses built according to a foreign project. The parameters of the openings of such buildings may differ from the typical ones. Entrance metal doors, the dimensions of which do not correspond to the GOST, are also met when the rules and norms for the construction of country cottages and country houses are not complied with.

To install such structures it is necessary to make a door to order or to adjust the size of the opening.

Non-standard models can be manufactured at the customer's request with an increased level of strength or fire safety.

Under the order, you can also make original design decisions.

Having familiarized with the standards that are designed for input structures, you can correctly choose the dimensions of the product. The process of measurement should be approached as responsibly as possible. From this depends the success of the installation of such an element of protection of the home, as the entrance metal doors. Dimensions with a box of standard dimensions should be selected, relying on the width, height and thickness of the opening. On this depends the functionality and durability of the entire structure.
