When choosing a person addresses the company, where they offer catalogs with photos of metal entrance doors and indicating prices for them. After determining the model, the measurer comes to clarify the parameters of the product, after the conclusion of the contract, the design is ordered.

Metal products are popular among many consumers due to their availability and strength. But to ensure the necessary characteristics, it is important not only to purchase the entrance doors, but also to establish them correctly.

Of course, it is possible to grant installation of installation by specialists, but the cost of services is calculated separately from the price of the product. Therefore, it is so important to know the procedure for the quality of the high-quality installation.

Preliminary preparation

Before starting work, it is worth considering the nuance that the independent installation of doors deprives the warranty rights to the product, that is, the buyer takes responsibility even before the construction of the construction. Therefore, it is so important to calculate your strength and opportunities.

To begin with a tool:

• perforator;
• level;
• bulgarian;
• nail-holder;
• lomik.

Step-by-step process

The process takes place in 3 stages:

• dismantling;
• preparation of the opening;
• installing a new door.

The first item should not cause difficulties, first remove the cloth with the loops and remove. With inconphigible loops, the screwdriver spins the screws on the attachments. Next, go to the door frame, if it consists of wood, then it is enough to remove all nails and fastenings, to remove the design. If nails do not turn out, the side racks are cut and torn. Then the upper and lower boxes are easily removed.

Metal structures make it harder, for this you will have to beat off the plaster near the racks. So open access to locking pins, they are cut by a grinder. After that, the walls of the opening are cleared: plaster, pieces of thermal insulation, fragile materials are removed.

At the preparatory stage, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate parameters of the opening and align the lines. If all the measurements were made correctly, then the finished opening will be a little wider canvas. Small gaps are required to align the design in terms of level. The task may be complicated with an inappropriate door size. To correct the large sizes of the opening, it is laid by brick, the septum from drywall is built or a cement solution is applied. The choice of option depends on the missing wall width. With a small opening, part of the wall with further leveling of the edge is knocked out, for this, a perforator or a grinder with a special circle is used.

Fastening options

There are two ways to install metal doors:

• fastening the anchors after the drilling of the box;
• using mounting plates.

• mounting box. For thorough alignment, the design is fixed in the opening using the clips. At the beginning put a rack with loops, adjust into the vertical position. In the rack, the manufacturer includes mounting holes, the walls are drilled through them. The obtained sockets must be a depth of 150-200 mm, a diameter of 10-15 mm. They insert anchor bolts in them and check the position of the rack. On top on the attachments are put on decorative plugs under the color of the box;
• wedding the canvas, for which it is enough to raise it and insert into the loop. It is important to pre-lubricate them;
• installation of fittings, i.e. locks and handles;
• check the operation of the construction, repair locks and latches. When this check box clearances between the uprights and door directly, they should not exceed 4 mm;
• fixing the castle stands, through her drill holes for anchors in the wall;
• fixing structures with foam. After its solidification cut surpluses and perform finishing work.

The second option is preferred by experts, require the prior preparation of the box for him. Further actions:

• to the posts to be positioned by the flat, welded plates with mounting holes;
• align box, allow for the necessary clearance. In this case, between the wall and the structure should remain a distance of about 20 mm;
• buttonhole fixed rack by aligning it into the vertical position, work is conducted by using a level and a wedge;
• through mounting holes drilled in the plates wall opening for anchor bolts or pins;
• hang canvas oiled hinges;
• engaged in the installation of hardware;
