These simple guidelines will help you avoid door problems later on.. Neither a severe enough frost, nor swearing from neighbors, nor uninvited guests will penetrate your house.
When an external door is mounted, it is directly insulated. This is not very difficult to accomplish with specialized sealing materials, which can be bought in a store or made by hand. They are done like this. A strip of leatherette is taken with a width of 100-120 millimeters, as well as a length corresponding to the length of 3 bars of the door frame (both vertical and one horizontal). You will also need a strip of foam rubber 3-4 millimeters thick and, in addition, the same length that, as well as a strip of leatherette.
Foam rubber is wrapped in granite. Leatherette strip is held together at the joint.
The sealing material is nailed right along the door frame along two vertical bars and, in addition, the upper horizontal one, closing the gap between the door frame and the door.
The outer door must certainly open outward. So it will be unacceptable to knock it out. The best option for a solid and also very reliable door is a metal or double door. Outer — metal, and inner — from each material.
It is necessary to directly install sufficiently reliable locks with several degrees of protection on the external door. The main door of the house should also have a strong steel lock on the inside or a fairly reliable small chain, which is incredible to open from the outside. You also need a peephole in the door. Nowadays, the best is recognized as the peephole with a panoramic view of 200 °.
Noise from adjoining living rooms can also be avoided, and if the outer door is made soundproof. For this, you can also use foam, felt, batting, or an old blanket. Soundproof linings are made from this material. According to the size of the door, a frame is made of pine slats with a thickness of about 20 millimeters and a width of about 30 millimeters, which is then fixed to the door with the help of transverse slats. Holes are drilled in the doors, a flat plate is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws (screws). The holes that leave the screws (self-tapping screws) can also be filled with window putty, smoothed with sandpaper and, in addition, covered with oil-based paint or a suitable varnish.
