Thermal Door Specifications

solid brass flush-bolts

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.

operable insulated, hinged glass & screen

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.

foam injected: door jamb & frame

Door jamb and door frame steel tubing is injected with polyurethane foam. To fully insulate your door from heat and cold. Iron doors are already known for their strength and durability, but adding insulation can make them even more secure. The insulation in the door can also help to reduce noise transfer from outside to inside and vice versa.

vinyl v groove weather stripping

Vinyl V-groove weather stripping is a flexible, durable sealing material designed in a V shape, used to fill gaps around doors and windows. It prevents drafts, moisture, dust, and insects from entering, thereby improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort. The V-groove design ensures a tight seal by creating two points of contact, making it effective in various weather conditions.

build in threshold

The threshold stands 1 1/2″ 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.

insulated glass

Prevent heat loss through your glass doors and windows. The units consist of two panes of glass separated by an inert gas. The insulating layer provided by the gas between the windowpanes diffuses heat transfer. Most modern homes and buildings use insulated glass.

installation brackets

In order to make the installation process easier our doors come with pre-drilled mounting brackets. Brackets are welded offset 5/8 inch from inside face of the jamb, which will make it even with the drywall.Preferably it is suggested to use (1) lag bolt that is 3/8 x 3' per bracket. When installing the jamb, there needs to be a 1/2' gap between door jamb & framing on all (3) sides.

hinge, glass knob options

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.

roller catch

The adjustable 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. After installation of the door the roller catch must be adjusted.

screen

Screens are available with operable window doors on any new order and can’t be ordered for existing doors that do not have screens. 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.

*we recommend the screen be removed when not in use*

thermal broken door jamb/frame & glass frame

A thermally broken door uses thermal breaks to keep exterior temperatures from entering the house. The thermal break material is placed inside the door's structure, creating a thermally insulated barrier. It also prevents heat loss, an essential feature for extremely cold areas where heating is needed for long periods.

door shoe

A door shoe is a protective and insulating component installed at the bottom of the door. It typically consists of a metal or aluminum channel that fits snugly over the door's lower edge, with a weather-resistant sweep or gasket attached. The door shoe helps seal the gap between the door and the threshold, preventing drafts, moisture, dust, and insects from entering. It enhances energy efficiency, provides additional weatherproofing, and often includes adjustable features to accommodate varying door heights and thresholds. This component is essential for maintaining the longevity and functionality of iron doors in different environmental conditions.

typically a door shoe 1/2' to 5/8'
