Products / Insulated Metal Doors

Frames:
The aluminum is available in 4 5/8” (117mm) and 4 ½” (114.3 mm) depths with the exterior section separated from the interior section by a ¾” (19 mm) vinyl thermal break. The aluminum sections are .62” (1.58 mm) extrusions which ensure adequate structural stability. The frame includes an integral foam jacketed compression weather-strip which will perform under the most arduous climatic conditions.

Doors:
Door panels are constructed of factory primed, hot-dipped, galvanized 24-gauge steel surfaces permanently bonded to a rigid injection polyurethane core and crimped around grooved wood stiles and rails. The 1 ¾” (44.45 mm) panel has an R value of 14.6.

Transom
Transoms are manufactured using a continuous jamb and may incorporate insulating glass or insulated metal panels. The use of transoms facilitates accommodating various opening heights using standard door panel sizes.

Thresholds
There are four standard thresholds. A 4 ¾ “ (120.7 mm) thresholds is used on all applications unless otherwise specified. A 6 ¼ “ (158.7 mm) threshold should be specified for use where a storm door will be installed. A 5 ¾ “ (146 mm) out-swing threshold  doors. A  4 5/8” (117 mm) barrier free threshold should be specified for use in handicap suites.

Finishes
Frames:
Door frames are fabricated from aluminum extrusions with a Duracron baked enamel finish. Such finishes will match associated aluminum windows. The use of a rolled-in vinyl thermal break permits splitting of exterior and interior colours.

Panels:
Door panels are factory-primed and a finish coat of paint is recommended to be applied after installation. For best results use a good grade (medium to long oil) semi-gloss finish alkyd enamel. Do not use linseed-oil based paint as this will tend to be softened by the weather-strip. Before painting lightly scruff the primed surface with steel wool or fine sand paper. Clean metal surfaces thoroughly with mineral spirits or detergent and water. Do not paint the weather-strip. Make sure door is completely dry before closing to avoid marking the surface of the door with weather-strip.   

Storm Door Adaptor
The application of a storm door is a accommodated by using a 6 ¼ “ (158.7mm) threshold and our storm door adaptor extrusion.

Hardware
Three zinc plated steel hinges are used on each frame. A gasket separated the steel hinges from the aluminum to prevent galvanic action. Each hinge has a steel backer plate, set in silicone, to guard against sagging of the door panel. Door panels and lock-side jambs will prepared to accept hardware specified. Panels have standard lock blocks, but special blocking is required for use with the door closers. Mortised locks are not recommended.

The use of thumb-turn deadbolts which do not require drilling through the entire door panel is not recommended.
