Doorhan gate: advantages and disadvantages

For more than 2 decades, DoorHan has been producing various types of gates and roller shutters, automation and various equipment for warehouses and other types of products that are in demand today.

Today the DoorHan company produces a line of modern doors, which consists of 9 popular series.

The choice of a specific model should be based on:

• dimensions of the garage opening where the gates are installed;
• parameters of this room;
• the thickness of the walls, because the weight of the gate itself will depend on them;
• the distance from the floor to the ceiling of the garage.

Doors for garages from DoorHan have some features that the consumer should be aware of initially:

• These gates are often of unusual size and appearance, which can impress many buyers.
• These gates can be installed in openings of any parameters, which is their main difference from the products of other companies, while it is worth evaluating the high-quality thermal insulation that this room will be provided with.

• A wide selection of door types: mainly rolled products made of steel profiles, sliding or swinging products, spiral doors, high-speed and the most popular today - sectional type doors. Such gates are needed to completely close the garage opening: the sections gradually rise to the ceiling of the room.

DoorHan produces 9 series of similar types of doors and differ from each other in characteristic advantages (and negative sides too):

• Yett series - these are the first 5, the most democratic in price. They are distinguished by an attractive appearance, do not require a certain opening size, and the installation can be carried out without the help of professionals, that is, on the buyer's own forces and quickly enough.
• Series RSD - 1 and 2, suitable for all types of garages.
• Premium Series it costs much more, since the sheet is additionally clad with aluminum to increase its durability. The company also produces a sectional sheet with special parameters that will differ significantly from the standard. The most important thing is to accurately use the instruction manual, then such products will serve you as long as possible.

Sliding gates also have a different name - sliding, since it is on this that the main principle of their work is based: the gates move to the side, opening the opening. This type of product is suitable for those places where vehicles pass quite often.

Among their main advantages, the following should be noted:

• for their smooth operation, there is no need to clear snow or foliage from time to time;
• they save space;
• they are massive and durable;
• without a top stop, therefore suitable for any type of transport.

In addition to the advantages, these gates also have disadvantages:

• such products are made 2-3 times longer;
• you will need the construction of a solid foundation, which makes their installation more time-consuming and financially expensive;
• only professional installation is suitable.

DoorHan produces the leaf for these doors from vertical slats, which can move perpendicularly or parallel to the opening, while being open on the sides.

The choice of automation remains with the buyer, as well as the question of an additional window or wicket insert. Their installation will depend on a certain type of equipment.

As a material for making a gate, it is most often used:

• professional sheet (the most bought, as the cheapest);
• "Steel sandwich" (has a catchy look and design, while lightweight);
• forged products (will become a stylish decoration if you attract designers and craftsmen of artistic forging).

The peculiarity of this type of products determines the mandatory presence of a specialist during their installation and when choosing (you need to calculate all the parameters of the garage in order to correctly determine the weight and type of gate).

DoorHan garage products are of high quality and can successfully compete with the world's leading manufacturers, and due to the low price (especially for repairs), they have become almost monopolists in their market.

The company also produces rolling gates, but they are rarely used by domestic consumers. According to reviews, if you put them in a garage, then the temperature in it will be like on the street, and the garage, even if it is cold, it is better to close the overhead sectional doors and thermal insulation. Then both the tool and the car will be in good condition. The company also has high-speed gates - those that have a lifting speed of up to 2.5 m / s. By the way, if necessary, the company's specialists can quickly reprogram all their automation at your request.

• Fireproof (with a special coating).

• Almost all products have the ability (if necessary) to insert in them an additional opening of a wicket or a window;
• Each customer can, after installation, decorate the gate at his own request, without prejudice to their subsequent functionality.

Doorhan gate automation is presented in the form of an automatic mechanism, which is used to work with gates of such types as:

• Swing. In this case, you need to carefully study the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe canvas before choosing an automation for the gate. The basic package includes 2 electric drives, a control unit, fasteners, and a remote control.
• Retractable and foldable. In this situation, lever and chain drives are perfect. Guide rollers will play a key role. Basic equipment - electric drive, magnetic limit switches, mounting base, fasteners.
• Sliding (sliding). Doorhan automatic equipment, which you will need when working with this type of gate, is created according to the modern oil bath technique. The main function here is performed by the motor. Complete set - 2 electric drives, control unit, fasteners
• Sectional. Doorhan automation, which is used with these structures, depends on the frequency of use and the size of the garage. Shaft and chain drives are best used. Automatic systems for garage models are most often represented by ceiling modifications with a powerful motor that provides smooth lifting and lowering of the sash along the guides. Basic equipment - drive, curved rod, control panel, set of brackets, set of hardware, instructions.

In some cases, it is possible to carry out self-assembly of doors manufactured by Doorhan.

The correct installation of such systems occurs in several stages:

1. First, work is done on the high-quality preparation of the garage.
2. A frame is assembled for future gates with its subsequent fastening to the opening.
3. Installation of the necessary mechanisms and the door leaf itself.
4. Adjustment of mounted systems.

Before starting work, you should make sure that the delivery of the product is complete, otherwise it will take more time to look for and buy missing parts.

The main requirement when preparing the garage opening for the installation of the gate is to check that it does not have all kinds of cracks and that there is a solid foundation. To do this, the outdated cladding cover is carefully removed, cracks are eliminated with a special solution, the surface is leveled with plaster, while these activities are carried out both inside the garage and outside. If the opening is built of foam blocks, hollow bricks or gas silicate blocks, then it must be pre-strengthened.

This frame is reinforced with anchors. Concrete walls and brick structures do not need additional reinforcement. Next, you need to clean up the garage space as much as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient to install the canvas.

The gate can be mounted in 3 popular ways: overhead, lintel and wall recessed. The overhead method is one of the simplest and is most often used for roller shutter products: a shaft is fixed to the wall above the opening, and guides are installed on the sides of it. The overhead method is to secure the shaft on top of the opening. In fact, the automation box in this case creates a new lintel, which will be 35-40 mm lower than the existing base one.

Embedding is the most difficult and difficult method, which is rarely used.For the most part, they trust his professionals. It is best to entrust some types of doors to specialists right away, for example, it is very difficult to install panoramic industrial sectional doors on your own.

At the end of all work, the system should move smoothly and evenly. Installing products with your own hands is a difficult task, but most often it is quite doable.

If, after installation, spontaneous opening of the gate is observed without control from your side, then you should definitely contact the company's specialists. Manual adjustment of the electric drive is possible in almost all models of the manufacturer's doors.

Additional insulation of the garage space can be carried out using a special external seal made by Doorhan. The main condition for the best use of sectional doors is the long-term stress state of the cables. They are needed to move the working blade and to balance it.

Even a millimeter sag of the cables should not be allowed - this is the main mistake in using sectional products, which can lead to damage to the mechanism. Replacing the cables is possible only in the event of a complete loss of their performance. Loose cables can be manually adjusted in minutes.

Do not forget about constant maintenance of the gates - they need to be treated with special grease in winter (once a month), and in summer, spring and autumn, the interval between maintenance should be increased to 2-3 months.

According to numerous reviews, Doorhan automatic gates require almost no repairs (with proper operation and proper maintenance). Most of the gate faults can be eliminated with your own hands according to the drawings in the instructions or you can get help from the company's specialists as soon as possible.

The company maintains its products competently. All users are pleased with the wide choice of door colors, the opportunity to purchase film swing gates or with a wicket. Also, many are satisfied with the opportunity to enclose the gate control panel in a keychain and store it along with the car keys.
