Now there are quite a lot of different doors on the market, but, despite this, some people prefer to make a metal door with their own hands. The process of manufacturing such doors is quite difficult, but in the presence of certain knowledge and experience, you can create a truly reliable and high-quality product. At the same time, it is very important to observe the technological process, as well as use reliable tools and high -quality materials. Metal doors are a fairly bulky product, which is why their production will need a lot of free space. For this reason, it is recommended to make them in the workshop or in a free garage.
Before starting work, it is important to measure the doorway. For the production of metal doors, the following tools and materials may come in handy: metal corners for a box and doors, a sheet of steel from 1.5 mm, loops, a special doorbell (handle, castle), construction foam, a cutting car with a cutting disk, a drill , device for welding, plywood, veneer or boards for lining. This list is approximate because it can change depending on certain conditions.
After measurements of the doorway, it is necessary to leave a pair of centimeters from the wall to the box on both sides to seal the seams using mounting foam. This gap will also make it possible to adjust the installation of doors in case of distortion of the opening.
In terms of obtained sizes, it is necessary to cut a metal corner. He fits on the table for welding. You need to measure the diagonals of a rectangle. If the measurements are the same and accurate, then it’s time to start welding work. So the door box is made. It is then measured in the inner space, after which the corner for the door leaf is cut. It is necessary to make a slot at the level at the level at the level at which the lock will be installed. Special racks made of woods for doors are clogged into a metal profile. Then the loop profile is welded to the box and loops. Then a metal sheet is welded. Then all welding seams are protected, the lock is mounted. As a rule, a pair of locks is installed. Then the door of the eye is mounted and door trim is carried out.
