Insulation and Security Features

 

 

When you consider that two-thirds of all illegal entries are made through doors, it is important to protect your home with a secure entranceway. Steel-edged doors outperform wood-edged doors by a 7-to-1 margin. When used with a replacement frame or steel security frame, steel outperforms wood by a 10-to-1 margin.Our line of prefinished steel insulated doors offers a multitude of important features to keep your home secure and energy efficient:

 

Premium Polyurethane Core
The high-density polyurethane core chemicallybonds to the steel skins
for structural rigidity to resist warping,
twisting and delamination. No glue is
used in our manufacturing process.

Core and Lockset Reinforcement

Reinforced Lockset Area
Steel skins are punched and extruded
in the lockset area creating a right angle lip around the lock hole. This feature, combined with a heavy ABS plastic interior reinforcement, provides a permanent solid base for hardware
application.
 

Thermal Break & Hinge Reinforcement

Thermal Break
The vinyl extrusion locks the steel together but separates the exterior
skin from the interior skin. A true
thermal break eliminates the transfer
of heat or cold through steel skins.

Hinge Reinforcement
The 12-gauge plate riveted inside each
door adds extra strength to the hinge
area. Hinges are applied with machine
screws for a more positive anchor.

 
 


Steel Edge Construction
Unique interlocking steel-edge design incorporates six 90-degree steel bends in each edge ensuring
stability and strength. Eliminates warping and thermal bowing.


Rigid Steel Skins
Won't warp, sag, shrink or swell like wood doors. We start with 24-gauge galvanized steel to help eliminate rust. Oakgrain door skins are work-
hardened and provide the strength and dent resistance of heavier gauge steel.
