Is it worth buying a Chinese front door?
Chinese products are familiar to almost all the inhabitants of the planet. Entrance metal doors are no exception. Low price, huge assortment and attractive appearance make them a very tasty purchase. But is she worth it? Let’s try to figure it out.
Chinese -made doors are made using metal pressing technology. Simply put, the entire ornament of the front side is squeezed out with a press. This method has one big drawback. The press is not able to extrude a pattern in thick metal. The maximum thickness of the metal that the press acts on is 0.8 mm! There are even doors made of thin metal on sale. So there is no need to talk about the reliability of such doors. With a knife with a thick blade, they are perfectly opened. So get only high-quality and reliable entrance metal doors in Mytishchi. What about castles?? This is another door issue. If the key in the lock or the lock itself breaks, you will have to work very hard to find spare parts or a suitable lock. As for the reliability of such a lock in terms of security, it is more reliable for ordinary people who do not own hacking methods. For experienced robbers, the lock is not particularly difficult if the keys are not inserted from the inside of the lock. Therefore, always lock the doors and leave the keys in the lock when you are in the house. It is believed that the multi-system locks of Chinese doors are reliable due to the fact that the door is locked in three places at once. Yes, it is reliable, but the door itself is made of metal, which can be easily cut or bent.
Another weak point of such a door is its external coating. The word quality and coating for such doors are simply incompatible! In summer, the paint on the door simply fades from moisture, peels off, the door starts to rust. In winter, from frost, the polymer coating is covered with cracks! Even doors painted with powder paint (for outdoor installation) will serve you at most for a couple of years until the corrosion process begins.
The only plus of such a door is the price! She’s really low and that’s attractive. Just remember the proverb – “the miser pays twice”. This is about those who bought a cheap Chinese door!
