Guardian Doors

Those who have ever faced the task of installing or replacing an entrance door in an apartment or house have heard about the Guardian doors. The company has been manufacturing metal doors for more than twenty years and during this time has gained wide popularity among consumers.

Guardian products have won numerous awards and quality marks, including international ones. Guardian is among the ten best manufacturers of steel doors in Russia.

The main and most important advantage of the Guardian doors is their high quality and reliability, achieved through the use of high-quality raw materials in the production process - cold-rolled steel sheets, domestic wood, Italian and Finnish paints and varnishes.

The plant produces a wide range of entrance doors, which is divided into the following main groups:

• Made using automated assembly (standard models).
• Manufactured with partial automation of the production process (customized models).
• Products with a high degree of burglary.

A variety of models of doors Guardian is able to satisfy all the needs of consumers. The company produces doors for apartments in apartment buildings, and for private houses (including those with a thermal break), fireproof, double-wing, with wrought iron elements and with a window. In connection with this wide and price range.

In the production of doors, the company uses locks of its own production, as well as the well-known brands Mottura and Cisa, which provides increased burglar resistance of steel doors. At the same time, keyholes are protected by special armor plates.

Guardian doors are also distinguished by good sound insulation and energy saving performance due to the use of soundproof partition walls made of special mineral wool, double-sided rubber seals and minimal gaps between the door frame and the door itself.Designers of the company have patented their own development - spherical hinges, evenly perceiving the weight of the door.

Guardian doors are outside protected with a powder coating, the color of which can be chosen at its discretion.

The interior decorative coating of the Guardian doors can be made in a variety of colors and textures. To do this, use polyvinyl chloride film or MDF panels.

Doors can be ordered in both standard sizes and the size of an existing doorway. One of the advantages of the doors of this manufacturer is that they can be purchased in almost any Russian region, thanks to the active work of marketing specialists and the development of a network of wholesale and retail warehouses in the regions.

The time of manufacture, shipment and delivery of Guardian doors is constantly optimized. Delivery is carried out in all regions of our country, as well as in the near abroad by road or rail in the shortest possible time.The doors are packaged in a semi-automatic way, which ensures reliable protection of the product against the influence of external factors during transportation.

Which steel door is better to choose? Each consumer decides this question for himself, depending on which characteristics of the door for him are the most important: insulation, protection against cold, increased burglar resistance, interesting design, low price.

Based on the reviews in the construction forums, it is impossible to come to an unequivocal answer, which is better - the doors of the Guardian or Elbor. According to one indicator, one manufacturer wins, on the other - another. Someone has been using the Guardian door for ten years, and someone has been unhappy with them.

Both of these manufacturers belong to approximately the same class, that is, according to their technical characteristics, they are approximately the same, therefore, it is rather difficult to compare them.

But the Guardian wins a little due to a more developed dealer network, a serious advertising campaign, a wide range of finishes, high build quality, and use in the production of its own design developments. What can not be said about "Elbor".Guardian has long won the domestic market. And all the processes, from production to installation in the company are clearly debugged.

The Guardian factory produces only exterior doors: to the house, to the apartment, with increased indicators of burglary resistance, thermal insulation, noise insulation, fire protection. The company does not deal with interior doors.

Typical Guardian doors have standard sizes: height from 2000 to 2100 mm, width - from 860 to 980 mm. Double-and-a-half or one-and-a-half doors (when one door is working and the other is deaf) are available in the following sizes: width - from 1100 to 1500 mm, height 2100 mm and 2300 mm. With two doors, doors DS 2 and DS 3 are produced.

In the production of door panels used steel with a thickness of 2 or 3 mm. But the Guardian company does not consider this technical characteristic essential, highlighting the protective function, which is provided to a greater extent not by the thickness of the metal, but by the structural features of the door.

When they talk about iron or metal doors (as opposed to wooden), then it is most often about steel structures.Guardian is a door made of solid steel sheet, which is profiled using high-precision equipment. In addition to metal, various insulants in the form of mineral wool or foamed polyurethane are used in the construction of the Guardian doors.

The following materials are used in the decoration of doors:

• glass and mirror panels and individual elements of these materials;
• forged items;
• MDF;
• solid pine or oak;
• plywood;

• oak or pine veneer;
• PVC film;
• plastic;
• laminatin;
• imitation stone;
• stone veneer.

For each standard door model, you can select the appropriate powder coating color for the outside. The door can be white, and gray, and green, and blue, and ruby, and bright red. In the palette of available colors there are also complex color options, for example, copper antique, silver antique, bronze and green antique, blue silk, red anthracite, light February, moire eggplant.

The texture of the outer part of the door can also be different. Decorative finishing can be done in a variety of ways, from squeezing a pattern on canvas and linings to stained-glass windows, forging, and even airborne.A decorative panel can also be installed outside the door, the color and texture of which can also be chosen to suit your taste.

The following series stand out in separate categories.

This is already a finished door with a certain set of options. The Prestige series is a combination of laconic, but at the same time elegant design and high-tech protection from external penetration. Door construction has the first class of resistance to cracking. The owner can get inside the room, only by putting a finger to a special fingerprint reader, which is a kind of “key”.

The use of innovative technologies in the construction of this type makes it possible to observe all the space around the object. If the doorbell rings, you can see the guest on the monitor, and also talk to him if necessary (that is, a monitor and a call panel are installed instead of the peephole). The cloth is made of two steel sheets with four stiffening ribs, has multipoint tripartite closing. The model has the highest degree of sound insulation. Mineral wool is used as an insulating material;

Brutal door leaf in a modern design, in which there is nothing superfluous - only strictly adjusted proportions and maximum safety.Designers used metal and glass of dark male shades and smooth forms to create the exterior of the door. Glass surfaces are impact-resistant triplex, the so-called shatterproof glass (fragments do not fall apart upon impact). Due to the anthracite steel color, the surface of the door leaf outside acquires a mysterious shimmer.

A high level of security is ensured by the use of multipoint closures, fourth-class locks of burglary resistance, the use of a video peephole and deviators. The built-in video peephole allows you to see everything that happens behind the door.

The image is transmitted to the touch monitor located on the inside. The model has a high degree of sound insulation. Mineral fiber is used as an insulating material.

The P series is non-standard door designs that are made at the factory for individual orders. They can be made with different variants of both external and external decoration.Door leaf in them - from two profiled steel sheets with three ribs, insulation - mineral wool, locks - 2-4 burglary class.

What doors are most popular today is difficult to say. This is a question for a whole marketing research. But it can be assumed that steel doors with an optimal combination of price-quality-additional options are most in demand. Such doors include models DS 3, DS5, DS 7, DS 8, DS 9.

When choosing a door design should pay attention to the following factors:

• Place of installation. Its technical characteristics and the choice of finishing options depend on where the door is installed - in the apartment or in a private house. If the door is an outdoor door, then to preserve heat in the house, it is better to choose a model with enhanced thermal insulation parameters or a model that has a thermal break in its construction. If such door designs seem too expensive, then it is better to choose a polymer powder coating both outside and inside, as from the house because of the temperature difference on the door there will be frost or condensate, which can quickly disable the decorative coating from MDF.

If the inner metallic coating seems unaesthetic, then you can choose plastic decor. The outside side of the door can be left metal (with a straight surface, decorated with pressure, with applied or forged patterns, with a mirror, with a window or with stained glass) or choose a decorative lining of weather-resistant materials (including solid oak, pine, ash) . If the door is installed in an apartment in an apartment building, the choice of options becomes much wider.

At the entrance there are no significant temperature differences, so the door leaf here you can put almost any. You can make an external panel of metal, and the internal one of MDF, colors and textures, which the Guardian has a lot. The outer part of the door can also be decorated with any decorative panel without restrictions.

• The number of ribs. The more, the better, the harder the door design. The stiffening ribs also do not allow the insulant installed inside the door leaf to “crumble”.
• Locks. The Guardian's door structures are equipped with their own locks, as well as Cisa, Mottura. It is better if the door will have locks of different types - lever and cylinder.Well, if the door will provide the possibility of replacing the lock secret.
• The number of contours of the seal. The principle of choosing the best door is the same as with stiffeners - the more the better. At the door of the Guardian set from 1 to 3 contours of the seal. The more contours of the seal, the higher the heat and sound insulation characteristics.

• Insulation. Mineral wool plates and rigid foamed polyurethane foam are used as insulation in the Guardian door structures. Some models use two layers of insulation. The thicker the insulation, the greater the thickness of the door. Therefore, if it is necessary to reliably protect against cold or noise, then it is better to take a door of greater thickness.
• Seller. Doors need to be purchased only from authorized dealers of the company, which will ensure the availability of a warranty from the manufacturer, as well as high-quality installation and further maintenance.

It is best to repair Guardian doors by contacting the company's service department. Trying to disassemble the door and do the repair yourself do not be better. Such actions may damage the integrity of the structure, interior and exterior.The service technician will quickly and accurately restore the work of the castle system, replace the accessories or decorative panels.
