SPECIFICATIONS
FOAM INJECTED
The breathtaking iron doors we make are injected with high-quality polyurethane foam for year-round insulation. The foam also aids in the prevention of rust from forming. Our doors have been installed in all 50 states so they are built to last in any extreme weather environment.
DOOR JAMB
Our high-quality iron doors come on pre-hung steel jambs making the installation less challenging. Once the jamb is installed the doors can be hung on the hinges. If your door jamb needs to be a different size, make the request to your salesman and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
BRACKETS
In order to make the installation process easier our doors come with pre-drilled mounting brackets. They are welded to the jamb and mount to the inside framing of your home.
HINGED GLASS
Another amazing benefit is the hinged glass feature that comes standard on our doors. This offers convenience when it comes to cleaning the glass, and also gives you the option to leave the glass panel open for ventilation and still have security with the doors being locked.
HINGED GLASS DOOR LOCK
The convenient operable glass on our doors is held and released with a latch when closed and tightened. The heavy duty latch can hold extremely high pressure winds and the weather stripping prevents air or water from getting through.
BRASS FLUSH BOLT
The stationary door is equipped with two brass flush bolts. They are located on the side of the door, one near the top and one near the bottom, so when the doors are closed they are not visible. The flush bolts lock into the top and the bottom of the frame and add a high level of security to the doors.
ROLLER CATCH
The roller catch system is included with any pull handle package. The roller catch holds the door in the close position so the wind does not blow the door open when the door is closed.
SCREEN
Screens are available on any new order and can’t be ordered with inventory doors. The screens are a heavy-duty mesh and are held in place by powerful earth magnets. Screens can be installed and removed at your convenience.
THRESHOLD
The threshold stands 1 1/2″ inches high inside, flush to the middle and slopes down to 1/2″ inch on the outside. The threshold is welded to the jamb for integral strength and rigidity for lasting years of wear. Our bold steel door jamb comes with an integrated threshold. This extraordinary feature prevents wear and tear from foot traffic, unlike flimsy wood thresholds.
HINGES
Our elegant custom made, heavy-duty pin hinges can each hold up the 1000 lbs. Not only do they add beauty to the door, but they also make it extremely easy and comfortable when it comes to opening and closing the door.
