Everything about the door frame for interior doors. Classification of doors and their components Threshold for an interior door

Door block is a door frame with a canvas hung on it. Such a block installed in the opening of stone walls or partitions protect from decay, in addition, it is fixed, like window blocks, to wooden inserts embedded in the slopes of the opening. The threshold at most external doors, including balcony doors, is slightly raised. Door block in the opening of the partition installed in the same plane (flush) with one of the surfaces of the fence. Then it is attached to the bars framing the opening, or to wooden inserts. The gaps between the box and the partition are closed, and the joint is closed with a casing.

Elements for filling a doorway include: u-shaped door frame with quarters around the strapping office; door leaf hung on the frame.

Individual parts and door parts are named as follows:

- the opening part of the door is called the door leaf;

- the frame installed in the doorway, on which the door leaves are hung, is called the door frame;

- to decorate the opening and cover the gap between the box and the partition or wall, platbands are installed along the perimeter of the box;

- the transition from platbands to plinths and the floor can be made out with bedside tables;

- to improve the thermal insulation, sound insulation and fire resistance of the door, arrange a door threshold, which is a special block in the floor, at the bottom of the doorway;

- to protect the lower part of the door leaf from dirt and damage, a plinth can be used (mainly at the outer doors);

- door strips are called bars with a shaped profile, designed to cover the vestibule of double doors;

- door slabs are bars with a shaped profile designed to divide the glazed part of the door and strengthen the glass;

- the straps of the door leaf, with the frame (paneled) solution of the door, are called the main bars, middle bars are the bars that divide the door leaf into parts and serve as a link between the straps;

- panels are called individual shields that fill the space between the straps and midships;

- the door leaves are attached to the box (hung) on \u200b\u200bhinges;

- door devices are attached to the canvases: locks, handles, latches (latches), safety chains, etc.;

- to increase the sound and heat-shielding properties of doors, special seals are used.

Figure 8.2 - Components of doors

For the convenience of evacuation, most doors in civil buildings open outward, with the exception of intra-apartment and apartment entrances.

Door leaves:

- panel rooms, which are a blockboard lined on the outside with fiberboards, plastic or fine wood veneer. Such door leaves are economical in terms of wood consumption, decorative and are widely used in modern construction;

-bindingmade in the form of a plank frame with glazed filling. Cloths of this design are intended for interior doors;

-latticeglazed at the top with longitudinal stripes and protected by vertical bars. Such canvases are used for the entrance doors of residential buildings;

- filamentous, consisting of a contour strapping, reinforced with a mullion, and panels (filling) of plywood and board panels. Such a design of canvases is laborious to manufacture, requires high-quality wood and therefore in modern construction it is used only for front doors of public buildings;

-carpentry, made in the form of a plank board on strips or dowels. Doors of this design are arranged in basements;

- made of tempered glass with polished or patterned surface. Such sheets with a thickness of 10-15 mm are intended for the entrance doors of public buildings.

The interior door is a complex structure, each element of which has its own name. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts that will help you navigate the world of professional terms - what the door consists of and what each part is called.

Components and some elements of door decor

The door leaf is a movable opening part of the door. The canvas is attached in two ways: to a box on hinges (swing) or to a sliding rail on rollers (sliding). The door can consist of one, two or more door leaves of frame or panel construction. The frame fabric is lighter in weight (internal cavities are filled with chipboard, MDF, solid wood bars, honeycomb filler) and has more possibilities for decoration.

- a U-shaped frame structure on which the door leaf is hung. This is a fixed part of the door block, which is firmly fixed in the walls of the doorway.

Frame structure door leaf straps are coniferous wood bars located along the inner perimeter of the door.

Midships - bars that serve as a link between the straps. Divide the inner space of the canvas into sections, into which panels or glazing are installed.

Panels are parts of the door leaf that cover the space between the straps and mullions. Depending on the type of connection with strapping, they are divided into smooth, with a frame, floating, with figarea, with layouts.

Kalevka is a decorative (shaped) profile that divides the door leaf into parts. Kaleovka frames the panel or glass.

Layouts - strips with a relief profile, which reinforce the panels or glass. They also serve as a decorative element on simple smooth surfaces of the door leaf.

Frame (glazing bead) - a thin strip, with which panels or glass are attached to the strapping. Creates a reliable frame for attaching the elements of the canvas.

A feigned strip (door strip) is a strip with a relief profile, which closes the vestibule (gap, gap between the canvases) of double doors.

Door slabs are small bars with a shaped profile, which divide the glazed part of the door into separate segments. Strengthen and strengthen the entire structure of the canvas.

Skirting board is a long panel fixed horizontally, which covers assembly joints and cavities between the floor and the wall.

- overhead strips covering the joints and gaps between the door frame and the wall. They serve as a decorative element of door framing, they are flat, rounded, curly, telescopic and on a key. Sizes and materials of platbands depend on the type of door leaf.

Threshold - a special bar installed at the bottom of the doorway. Serves to improve heat and sound insulation, fire resistance of the door. The threshold covers the joint between the floors in adjacent rooms, and the difference in floors of different levels is leveled.

Seals - gaskets of a tubular or more complex section installed around the perimeter of the door frame. Reduce heat loss, perform the functions of noise and dust insulation.

One of the most common options for visually increasing the space in a room is to dismantle interior doors. This solution allows you to visually expand the premises, create a single space in the interior. In this case, an important task arises - finishing the doorway. In this article, we have collected the most popular and non-trivial ways to solve this issue.

Opening preparation

The preparation process for the work surface differs due to the materials chosen as finishing materials.

Types of materials for finishing

The choice of materials for finishing the doorway on the construction market is extensive, there are options for both economy class and expensive alternatives. It all depends directly on the needs, desires and capabilities of buyers, as well as several important aspects:

• you should not save on the quantity and quality of fasteners (for example, if you make a crate of wooden bars, then you need to look at them for the presence of mold, rot and large cracks);
• when purchasing materials packaged in different boxes, the consignments should be checked, if they differ, then the shade of the content may also differ;
• the durability of the material, its ability to withstand daily contact with various external influences - this is what all masters should think about first of all.

Using the example of the most popular options for finishing a doorway, we will consider in more detail the workflow for each of them.

Plaster

This option can be called the most popular due to the simplicity of work and the practicality of using the finishing material.

The only thing that should be taken care of before starting finishing is to cover the floor with foil or newspapers so as not to damage or contaminate the surface.

1. Work begins with the preparation of the opening: cleaning from old materials and priming the surface.
2. Installation of beacons (you should mix a little mortar and fix the perforated corners on the walls, setting them at the building level).
3. A masonry reinforcing mesh is attached between the corners.
4. The building mixture is prepared in the required quantity.
5. Using several spatulas, the mixture is applied to the walls in a chaotic manner, after which it is smoothed over the surface using a rule.

It is important to remember that the thickness of one layer should not exceed 2 cm, otherwise voids or cracks may form, and this will negatively affect the durability of the finish.

If everything is observed, it remains to wait until the surface is dry, and you can proceed to the finishing: painting, wallpapering or applying decorative mixtures.

Clinker tiles, mosaics

This material is intended for cladding a wide variety of areas of a residential building, including the doorway. There are no special installation rules, options are offered depending on the interior design:

Facing a doorway with tiles or mosaics does not require special tools or special skills, the workflow consists of step-by-step actions:

1. after the surfaces are cleaned and plastered, it is necessary to apply markings, according to which the tile will be located in the doorway;
2. prepare a special glue (liquid nails are used only in cases where the surface is perfectly flat);
3. apply glue with a spatula to the back of the tile, distribute it over the surface, remove the excess;
4. press the tile against the wall and hold for a few seconds, applying force.

In order for the products to be evenly fixed on the surface of the opening, plastic glazing beads should be prepared in advance, which are inserted into the seams between the tiles. It is removed after the adhesive mass has hardened not earlier than after 24 hours.

It is very important - if glue gets on the surface of the tile, it should be removed immediately, since the hardened mass is very difficult to remove.

When the opening is completely refined, the seams between the tiles are sealed with special grouts, the color of which is matched to the tone of the walls or finishing materials.

Decorative rock

Another option that is used as an alternative to clinker tiles is decorative stone. It has several advantages over other finishing materials:

• an exact imitation of natural rocks, with a lot of varieties of textures: marble, limestone, jasper, brick, wood cut and many others.
• tolerates high humidity without consequences;
• easy to clean, because does not require the use of special products to remove dirt from the surface;
• resistant to mechanical damage if the rules of installation are observed.

The installation process is very similar to laying clinker tiles, but there are several important points that you should not forget:

• depending on the thickness, the weight of the products may vary, which can increase the consumption of the adhesive mass;
• when purchasing a finishing material, inspect several pieces from the back side, if there are many pores on the surface, they have a low density, which will affect the strength of the stone.

This finishing material is found in two types:

1. Natural. It is made from natural rocks, crushed into crumbs. Such products are distinguished by their weight and strength under direct mechanical stress.
2. Artificial. Its basis is gypsum, to which dyes and polymers are added. The main advantage is the low price, which fluctuates around 300-800 rubles per square meter.

Wooden panels, MDF

An equally popular option for finishing door slopes are wood or MDF panels, laminated under wood, which harmoniously fit into the classic style. The benefits include:

• aesthetics;
• durability;
• no visible defects in contact with water.

The process of installing panels made of wood or MDF will require you to purchase additional materials - wooden battens, which will be used as lathing:

1. The slats are cut to fit the width of the opening and attached with dowels and self-tapping screws to the walls.
2. The panels are also adjusted to the opening with a small offset, which is hidden by an end corner.
3. The launch pad is secured with finishing nails.
4. All subsequent panels are fastened through a tongue-groove (connection system present on the products).
5. From the end, the structure is closed by a side panel - a casing, which is fastened with nails to the crate or end corner.

Photo instructions for finishing the opening with MDF panels

To hide the fasteners, you can use special furniture wax or adhesive caps, matching them to the color of the panels.

Such a finish will look rich, even if inexpensive MDF panels with textured patterns imitating exotic woods were used.

Laminate

Many finishers love laminate flooring for its flexibility, which makes it possible to sheathe almost any openings, corners and nooks found in living quarters with this material. The only thing worth worrying about is that it does not tolerate moisture well and, after contact with water, swellings may form at the ends of the products, and such defects are not eliminated.

The laminate is fastened with self-tapping screws to the crate in the same way as finishing with PVC or MDF panels.

If the walls are relatively flat, then you can use liquid nails and spacers, which will press the material against the surface of the walls for several hours.

Stucco molding - gypsum and polyurethane foam

One of the most interesting, but in its own way capricious materials is stucco molding. Using it in the interior for finishing the doorway, one should maintain a single concept of the overall design, fit into the style that is inherent in columns, pilasters with capitals and other similar decorative elements.

Stucco molding on the opening should be combined with other interior elements, such as floor and ceiling skirting boards

There are two types of stucco molding on the construction market:

1. Plaster. Without it, it is impossible to imagine the interiors of country houses, made in the Venetian or classical style. But in small apartments, such products seem too bulky, the interior openings narrow not only visually, but also in fact. Plus, gypsum is a very heavy and fragile material; under mechanical stress it will not last long.
2. Artificial, or rather polyurethane, is an affordable analogue of gypsum.

The advantages of polyurethane foam decor include:

• ease of construction;
• ease of installation: products are easily cut with a clerical knife and attached to liquid nails;
• a variety of ready-made forms;
• the surface of the polyurethane is suitable for painting.

Stucco molding looks perfect in the frame of a doorway with an arch, especially if the width allows you to erect monolithic column supports along the edges.

Doorway shapes

Decorating openings between rooms without a door is difficult not only by the choice of the material used, but also by the shape of this opening.

The solution to this issue will affect the harmony of the transition between rooms, the lighting of the premises, the combination of styles in the interior and the practicality of moving.

Rectangular

A common option is rectangular. Such an opening remains immediately after dismantling the door frame and it has its advantages:

• suitable for all finishing materials;
• no additional structures are required;
• clearly delineates two living quarters, for example, a balcony and a kitchen, while visually expanding both;
• great for modern interior design styles.

A wide rectangular opening allows you to use the slopes as niches for interior items

Arched

The arch has an interesting ability: in rooms with low ceilings, it visually increases them, and in cases with high ceilings, on the contrary, lowers them. Moreover, the wider the arch-shaped opening, the lower the ceiling appears.

Many people prefer this option for its softness, the absence of sharp corners, this makes the transitions between rooms more invisible. The arch fits perfectly when leaving the hall, if it is wide enough, movement between rooms will be invisible.

The absence of a massive doorway decor emphasizes the beauty and complexity of the rest of the interior.

A nice addition are ready-made solutions - arch-type extensions, prepared for installation in doorways.

Completions and a developed edging of the opening emphasize the complex shape of the opening, making it a visual accent

Trapezoidal

This form is used very rarely, this is due to the fact that in small areas such a solution has the opposite effect: the room does not expand, and the ceiling visually lowers. Especially in cases where the upper horizontal part of the trapezoid is too narrow. One might get the impression that they wanted to make an arch when decorating the opening, but they lacked the strength and skills.

Such an opening looks good when it matches the shape of the room behind it, as in this picture

The polygon will fit well into the transition where double-leaf interior doors were planned or installed. With the help of drywall, you can easily and effortlessly turn a rectangular gap into a smooth trapezoid, fixing it at the corners of the opening.

Asymmetric

A doorway that embodies the fantasies of the owners of a living space is an asymmetric shape. Designers love her for her ability to bring the most amazing solutions to life. The opening ceases to be the border of two rooms, it turns into the decoration of the apartment, into that element that attracts the eye and emphasizes the given style.

An asymmetric opening is a highlight of any interior

However, here, too, there are nuances that many forget about and face difficulties in the process of work:

• you cannot undertake the expansion of the opening without creating a project, which will take into account all the possibilities of load-bearing walls and ceilings;
• sharp corners and sharp shapes have a negative psychological impact on others; it is necessary to minimize the presence of irritating factors as much as possible so that the refined openings serve as its advantage, and not a disadvantage.

Curtain decoration

A simple but very interesting option for decorating a doorway with curtains is a look into the past. Several decades ago, people delimited living space in this way, decorating the aisle with wooden or fabric curtains. The desired effect was achieved: the boundaries of the room were visually outlined, while the space was not closed.

Curtain - a simple and effective solution

But such solutions are still popular now, but the variety of shapes and materials has become much larger. Most often, bamboo sticks are used, which are very durable and make a pleasant sound when colliding with each other. You can paint them yourself in the desired shade or choose a ready-made version for your interior.

You can use curtains anywhere, even on the border of the hallway with the bathroom, although it is a little intimate, but if the homeowners are interested in this option, then why not experiment.

Doorways in the walls and partitions are filled with door frames with door leaves hung on them. Structurally, a door frame, like a window frame, is a frame, the dimensions of the elements of which depend on the location of the doors and their type. When the doors are swing open, the frames have quarters on the inner surface measuring 15x40 mm for the porch with door leaves.

Door frames in the openings of stone walls, which, as a rule, have quarters, are fastened with nails or ruffs driven into special wooden plugs-liners in the masonry of the walls of the openings or directly into the brickwork of the walls. Before installation in the openings of stone walls, the door frames are antiseptic and upholstered with tar paper or roofing felt, the gaps between the wall and the box are sealed with caulking, and the slopes are plastered with cement-sand mortar (Fig. 25.13.).

In partitions, door frames are attached to the strapping elements in the openings, and the gaps between the partition and the frame are closed with platbands. Platbands at the bottom of the floor can end with bedside tables - short profiled strips that cover the gaps between the floor and the platbands (Fig. 25.13.c. and 25.14.a.b.).

To fill doorways in internal walls and partitions in civil buildings of mass construction, as a rule, wooden doors are used, the leaves of which are 40 mm thick, 2000 mm high and 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1100 mm wide (single-door doors); as well as a height of 2300 mm and a width of 1200, 1400 and 1800 mm (total width of double doors). For utility rooms, for example, sanitary units, it is allowed to use door leaves 30 mm thick and at least 1800 mm high (doors to bathrooms, toilets, storerooms, etc.).

The entrance doors to the apartment from the staircase or corridor are 900 mm wide with reinforced door leaves and frames with thresholds, to enter the rooms - 800 mm, and to the utility rooms

premises - 600 and 700 mm.

The design of the door leaves depends on the purpose of the doors and can be panel board, paneled or strapping... A panel door leaf consists of a bar strapping frame, which is filled with a solid panel of bars or strips, or a frame made of strips or strips, and is covered on both sides with plywood veneer, fibreboard or plastic. Panel sheets can also be without strapping in the form of a solid slab of bars or strips with plywood veneer or fibreboard (Fig. 25.14.c.e.)

Paneled the door leaf consists of an outer vertical and horizontal strapping located along the perimeter of the leaf, midships (intermediate elements) and filling between the strapping and mullions, called panels (Fig. 25.14.g.zh.z.i.k.).

Panels they are arranged from boards, plywood, fibreboard, plastic, while the interior doors are made with single-layer panels, and the entrance doors are multilayer with a gasket, if necessary, between layers of insulating material. Paneled doors are used in unique buildings, in individual construction, etc.

Doors strapping structures have a strapping of solid wooden elements and filling in the form of flat elements of plywood, fiberboard, plastic, glass, etc.

For internal entrance doors, door frames with thresholds and blind door panelboard swing leaves with continuous filling of panels with wooden bars or slats are used, and for interior doors, panelboard panels with frame filling and door frames with thresholds and without thresholds with installation of mounting boards can be used, which are attached to the lower ends of the vertical straps of door frames, while the door leaves can be swinging or swinging. The swinging canvases are hung on the door frames using special spring hinges that provide opening in both directions and automatic closing of the canvases (Fig. 25.15.).

Door leaf is a movable opening part of the door. The canvas can be of frame or panel construction. In the case of a frame structure, used to lighten the weight of the canvas and give more possibilities for decoration, the internal cavities not occupied by the structure are filled with either honeycomb filler, or chipboard, MDF, solid wood bars. Usually the canvas is hung with hinges on the box, or with rollers on the slide rail. The door can consist of one, two or more door leaves.

Door frame - an assembly unit of a door block of a frame structure, designed for hanging the canvases and fixed to the walls of the doorway.

Door leaf straps (with frame solution)
- these are bars, mainly of softwood, located along the perimeter of the door.

Middlemen
- bars dividing the inner space of the canvas into sections for the subsequent installation of panels or glass, and serving as a connection between the straps.

Filenki
- shields filling the space between the harnesses and the middle. By the type of connection with the strapping, the panels are divided into smooth, with a frame, floating, with a figarea, with layouts.

Mold
- shaped profile on the edges framing the panel or glass.

Layouts
- these are embossed profile strips attached to the front surfaces of the door leaf and serve to "revive" the appearance of simple smooth surfaces or, at the same time, to strengthen the panels or glass.

Frame (or glazing bead)
- an intermediate frame element for attaching the panel or glass to the trim.

Sponges or door strips
- these are embossed profile strips designed to cover the bifurcated doorway.

Door sash
- bars with a shaped profile, intended for dividing the glazed part of the door and strengthening the glass, as well as strengthening the entire structure of the leaf.

Decorative overlays (false sash)
- overhead decorative profiles glued to glass or glass unit from the inside or outside and forming a false binding (false binding).

Skirting board
- a sewn-on narrow panel, with the help of which the assembly seams and cavities that arise between the floor and the wall during flooring are closed.

Platbands
- wooden (plastic) profile strips used to frame the doorway and to cover the cracks between the frame and the wall. Platbands are flat, rounded, curly, telescopic and on a key. Their sizes and materials of decoration and manufacture are also different.

Bedside tables
- the transition from platbands to plinths and the floor is made out by bedside tables.

Porch
- the place of junction (connection) of the door leaf with the pillars of the door frame. This is a protruding part outside the door leaf or on the inside of the frame, which closes the gap between them when the door is closed. The porch is usually included in the construction of doors, the hinges of which are located on the vertical side planes of the leaf. The vestibule is most often absent if hinges are used in the door block installed above and below the canvas.

Threshold
- a special block in the floor, in the lower part of the doorway, serving to improve thermal insulation, sound insulation, fire resistance of the door, as well as to cover the joint between floors made of different materials in adjacent rooms. It also applies in case of differences in floor levels in adjacent rooms.

Low tide
- a part designed to remove water and protect the lower parts of windows and balcony doors from moisture penetration. Usually the ebb is installed on the outer side of the lower horizontal profile of the window and is its integral part.

Profile
- a measured section of a product produced by extrusion, with a given shape and cross-sectional dimensions. This technology is usually used for the manufacture of profiles from aluminum alloys. These profiles are used in the production of modern window and door frames.

Profile system
- a set (set) of main and additional profiles, forming a complete structural system of door (window) blocks, reflected in the technical documentation for its manufacture, installation and operation.

Seals
- elastic gaskets of tubular or more complex cross-section, running along the entire perimeter of the window between the frame and the sashes and protecting from cold air, noise and moisture. Seals are also widely used in the manufacture of doors and are installed both in a box to damp noise when the door leaf is closed, and in grooves, where the glass is then placed.

Reinforcement liner
- profiled steel element, installed in the main chamber of the main profile for the perception of operational loads. Panel - a section highlighted with thin profiled frames, a shield made of thin boards, plywood or plastic, covering the gap in the door leaf frame.

Massive doors
Doors of this type are made of various valuable wood species. The price for such products, as a rule, is significantly higher than for doors with honeycomb filling, and they weigh more. To emphasize the structure of the wood, the manufacturer paints them with various wood impregnations or simply transparent varnishes. In addition to the decorative function, such processing also plays another role. The door is less susceptible to damage by fungi, mold, insects, and more resistant to light fading. Such doors are also called simply - an array. They can be smooth or paneled, blind or under glass, left or right, painted, veneered, laminated, etc.

Semi-massive doors
Wooden bars between two MDF sheets in such a door leaf are not located "joint to joint", but at some distance from each other. Otherwise, everything said about massive doors is also true for semi-massive ones.

Doors with honeycomb filling
You have probably seen a honeycomb made of wax. Exactly the same honeycombs, only made of pressed cardboard, less often made of hardboard, fill the void inside the door. The door frame is made, as a rule, of solid pine, which allows you to embed the lock on one vertical side and fix the door hinges on the other. The strength of such doors is, of course, inferior to the strength of massive doors, and it is not recommended to use them as entrance doors. But inside premises (offices, apartments, houses, etc.) - this is the most suitable option. And one should not doubt their strength for these purposes. The door leaf with honeycomb filling can easily withstand loads up to 80 kg. As well as massive and semi-massive doors, doors with honeycomb filling can be smooth or paneled, blind or under glass, left or right-sided, painted, veneered, laminated, etc. Such doors are also called lightweight.

Paneled doors
The canvas on both sides of these doors is not smooth. Doors have, as a rule, incised straight or rounded decorative recesses. They can be: lightweight, massive or semi-massive, under glass or deaf, painted veneer, laminated, etc.

Smooth doors
The exact opposite of paneled doors. Such doors have an absolutely smooth surface. Otherwise, everything said for paneled doors is also true for smooth ones.

Glass doors
Window frames of various configurations are embedded in such doors. The buyer can choose the glasses to his liking. Here he will not experience difficulties in choosing. They are now offered in a great variety: - corrugated, matte, stained glass, etc.

Blind doors
Such doors have no window frames.

Single doors
An ordinary door consisting of one leaf.

Double swing doors (equal and unequal)
The door consists of two leaves. These doors are also divided into equal and unequal. For equal swing doors, both canvases are of the same width, for unequal ones, one of the canvases is much narrower, it can also be called widening.

Veneered doors
Veneer is a thin cut from wood (literally as thick as thin cardboard). Various tree species are used as raw materials. This very veneer is used to paste over the door leaves.

Laminated doors
Usually, smooth doors with laminate glued on them, decorated with different types of wood or painted in different colors.

Laminated doors
Almost the same as laminate flooring. The only difference is that this coating is less wear-resistant than laminate. True, such doors are cheaper than laminated ones.

Left-hand doors
Standing in front of the door, we open it towards ourselves with our left hand. The door hinges (in the box), on which the door is hung, are located on the left, the lock with a handle, etc., are integrated on the right - the door is left-sided.

Right-hand doors
We open the door towards ourselves with our right hand. Door hinges (in a box), on which the door is hung, are located on the right, a lock with a handle, etc., are built on the left - the door is right-sided.

Rebated doors (with a quarter)
There is also such a thing as a porch or a quarter. At the end of the door leaf, on two or more sides, three quarters of the thickness of the door leaf is selected and one quarter is left. Thus, complete with the corresponding door frame, such a door in the closed state has no visible gaps between the frame and the door leaf.

Fireproof or fireproof (fireproof) doors
As the name implies, these doors have special properties and meet increased requirements for fire resistance and sound insulation. They can be decorated with any of the above materials and colors. But the price for them is correspondingly higher than for non-fire doors.

Door furniture
We are talking about locks, handles, plumbing latches (thumbturns), cylinders (cores) and plugs. Manufacturers go to meet buyers, so the choice here is also very large. Try not to be mistaken in the selection of accessories components and purchase it as a set. Although, now there are certain standards and successful combinations are possible. Oh, and don't forget the door hinges. When choosing them, consider what your door will be - left-sided or right-sided. Some manufacturers already at the factory complete their products with embedded locks.

Door frames, platband
Usually supplied with the door. Both MDF and various types of wood are used as raw materials. There are boxes that are adjustable for wall thickness. They can be painted or decorated with veneer, laminate. The same can be said about the platband.
