It is said that a family\’s \”appearance is very important\”! So, do you need to replace the entrance door when renovating your home? Do you know how to choose a safe and beautiful entry security door?

As someone who has been there, today I will share with you my own strategies for selecting doors and avoiding pitfalls. Friends who need it recommend following it. , collect it and read it slowly:

1. Two major misunderstandings in choosing home security doors

Myth 1:A good-looking door means a good door

Many friends choose Entry security doors are often only based on appearance. If you like the color, the style, and the simple and elegant look at first glance, you will think it is a good door. This is actually inappropriate.

Correct choice:The entrance door should not only look good, but also pay attention to the material and safety.Because the entrance door is the first line of defense for the home. Paying attention to its safety is the first thing to consider when choosing.

Myth 2:Heavy enough, thick enough, and safe when kicked

When choosing a home security door, we will all pay attention to it Pay attention to the material. If you see a door with thick materials, heavy weight, and a \”Grade A steel seal\”, you will think that the door must be safe. This is actually a misunderstanding.

Correct choice: How many thieves have you heard of breaking in or kicking in the door to get inside?Technical lock picking is extremely concealable. When choosing a door, you should not just look at whether the door is thick, but also look at other components.

2. Five major points to consider when choosing home security doors

Take a look Door panel material

The door panel material is the easiest thing to dazzle people. In order to promote their doors well, many businesses like to add all kinds of high-end gimmicks and then increase the price. The targets are falsely high, such as \”automotive-grade high-strength steel plate\”, which is simply cold-rolled steel. It is not recommended for friends in humid areas in the south. There is a risk of rusting over time.

So which material of different door panels is better? There is no standard answer, you have to choose based on your region and needs. The following is the price ranking of several door panel materials:

Cold-rolled steel<Galvanized steel plate<Zinc alloy door<Aluminum door<Copper door

For most ordinary households, it is enough to choose galvanized steel plate or zinc alloy. Cold-rolled steel is easy to rust, but aluminum doors There is no need to pursue the so-called high-end and waste money on copper doors.

Second lookInternal filling

The key to determining whether the entrance door is durable is not only the surface plate, but also theinner filling Filling is critical

Never buy a door filled with honeycomb paper, otherwise it will answer the sentence: \”Your door is Papery? \”The sound insulation and thermal insulation effect of doors filled with honeycomb paper is basically zero, and it is also likely to cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard.

In addition to honeycomb paper, common fillers include rock wool, polyurethane and aviation aluminum foil. Each of these three materials has its own characteristics. :

(1) Rock wool.It has good fire resistance and good sound insulation effect, but its support is average, and rock wool is harmful to the human body.

(2) Polyurethane. The thermal insulation effect is good and the dustproof performance is also good. However, this material is not very environmentally friendly and may have an odor.

(3) Aviation aluminum foil. This material is the most environmentally friendly of the three. Currently, high-end entry security doors are filled with aviation aluminum foil. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive.

So, those with sufficient budget should choose aviation aluminum foil, and those who pay attention to cost-effectiveness can choose polyurethane.

Three looks Lock cylinder grade

As far as the security of anti-theft doors is concerned, the lock is the one that can really prevent theft.

So how to choose locks? The key depends on the security level of the lock cylinder – whether it is a smart lock or a mechanical lock, the security level of the lock cylinder is divided into three levels: A-level lock cylinder, B-level lock cylinder and C-level lock cylinder.

Among the three security levels, level A is the lowest and level C is the highest, so, In fact, there is no need to worry at all when choosing. Just choose a C-level lock cylinder. This level of lock has the highest anti-theft level. When the lock cylinder is damaged, it will directly self-destruct and lock.

Fourth lookNumber of lock points

The number of closed locking points is also particularly important for the safety of the door. This number cannot be ignored when choosing a door. A good door will have more locking points relative to its design, while a cheap door will have fewer. Some.

So when selecting, how many locking points are needed to be safe? It is recommended to have no less than 12 locking points. To ensure that the entrance door is safe enough

五看Hinge design

If the community where your home is located has poor public security, especially in some commercial and residential buildings, , it is recommended to choose a higher-level security door, such as an anklet anti-theft design.

This hinge design is a door with anti-theft function. There is a lock design inside the hinge, and a hook will be formed after the door is closed. It can effectively prevent violent opening of the door and greatly increase the security level.

3. Three reminders when choosing an entrance door for decoration

1. Do not replace the entrance door unless necessary

For most new house decorations, although the entrance door installed by the developer will not be very high-end and looks ordinary, it can meet the standards in terms of safety. The company will deliberately mislead the owner to change the door, and then give you a fortune. This is an IQ tax.

If you don’t like the color, you can actually try repainting it.

If you are not sure about the security of the original lock, you can change the lock separately, such as directly replacing it with a smart lock.

2. It is not recommended to leave peepholes on the door

Cat holes are often the first target for thieves to open locks. If there is a peephole in your door, it is recommended to replace it with a special plug.

If it is a new entrance door, don’t choose one with cat eyes. It is better to install a camera to keep it safe at all times. Monitor whether there are strangers at the door

3. Don’t make the entrance door too luxurious
