How to install exterior steel door?

Removal of the Old Existing Door and its Frame

Before starting the steel door installation, if there is already a door, all the screws of the existing steel door frame are unscrewed. If there is marble on the threshold, it will need to be removed. It will break when removing the sill marble and a sill marble will need to be made again when installing your new steel door.

Installation service is as important as the selection of steel doors. Even if you buy a very high quality steel door, if the assembly process is done poorly or carelessly, your steel door will not satisfy you in use and will cause some complaints.

Remove the Old Steel Door Frame

The inward and outward facing frames of the existing door will be removed by paying attention to occupational safety. If your old door is not a steel but a wooden door, the door is removed and the door frame is cut with a drill and diamond saw and removed from the cut points with the help of a metal tool.

After the old case and old steel door are completely removed, the piles of rubble spilled in front of your door are cleaned and the environment is made suitable for starting the installation of your new steel door.

Check the Size of the Steel Door Area

Steel door frame is in the form of 2 parts. It is recommended to use appropriate mounting and adhesive foam during the door opening of the outer frame of the steel door, which is in two parts, the inner frame and the outer frame.

Make sure that the spirit level and the door frames are mounted flat. If the door frame is not mounted flat, your steel door may cause difficulties during opening and closing.

After the door gap dimensions are adjusted, the part that will face the inside of the steel door frame is installed from the inside first and the part that will face the outside is started from the outside. It is controlled by adjusting the screwing parts of the inner case and outer case of the steel door to be of the same size, and it is mounted by screwing each other from the screw points on the door.

Steel Door Leaf Installation

The door part of the steel door is mounted to the frame from the hinge parts after the frame installation is completed. The opening and closing of the door should be checked. If there is a situation such as any rubbing or not closing completely, this situation needs to be corrected.

 

 

Preparation of Cement Mortar

During the installation of the frame, cement mortar is prepared to eliminate the gaps and re-adhere the removed sill marble, and the door frame is filled by hand from the concrete cavities.

For the threshold marble, with the help of a spatula, properly cover the threshold area where the marble will be installed with cement mortar.

Installing Steel Door Materials

If your steel door also has a casing coating, stick them with the help of silicone so that there is no gap between them and exactly aligned. Do not use products such as metal hammers for printing here.

You can damage the door material. If you do not have a hammer made of silicone or plastic material, you can place the case covering materials aligned and properly by tapping them lightly with your hand.

After installing your threshold marble, if there are points that require minor repairs, the assembly of the steel door is completed by correcting them with materials such as plaster and silicone.
