How to choose an "iron defender"?
The first moment that worries us when choosing the front door is the side to which it will open. And this needs to be coordinated with the neighbors, where, in or out.

A feature of expensive models is the addition of a non-combustible sound and heat-insulating material to their canvas. The structure of such a material is monolithic, fibrous or rigid. In addition, for complete soundproofing and thermal insulation, a sealant is usually added around the perimeter of the box. Note that it is better to choose a frost-resistant seal.
"Eyes" and other components of our door.
If desired, as can be seen from the experiment, additional valves and peephole are installed. Latches are rotary, mortise or sliding with different fixation. Brackets, chains or a cable are also installed. Now let's move on to choosing a door handle. It is important that it is comfortable to grip your hand.
