Presentation of the different installation variants:

Door hinges are basically possible on both sides of the frame.

Door openings are basically possible into the room or into the hallway.

This is only a general principle; these details will be discussed later in point 3 of the configuration and do not need to be considered here.

 

We distinguish between the following basic installation variants:

 

Installation situation A:

The door frame is mounted on the wall from the outside and screwed through the wall with threaded rods. Walls of sufficient width are available on both sides to accommodate the frame.

If the door opens into the room, the clear door width is reduced by the thickness of the door, approx. 100mm. If the door opens into the hallway, the existing width of the wall opening can even be maintained as the clear door width by widening the frame. We explain how this works in the example below and in point 3.

Installation situation B:

Here, the door frame is placed against the wall from the inside of the room and screwed into the wall from the inside. Walls of sufficient width are available on both sides to accommodate the frame.

If the door now opens into the hallway, the clear door width is reduced by the thickness of the door, approx. 100mm. If the door opens into the room, however, the existing width of the wall opening can even be maintained as the clear door width by widening the frame, more on this later.

Installation situation C:

If the strongroom door is to be installed in a sufficiently wide door reveal, variant C is suitable. Mounting brackets (see point 7 of the configuration) are required here to screw the door as centrally as possible in the reveal, thus achieving the highest possible stability.

Basically, we reduce the height and width of the frame by at least 10mm so that the door can still be slid into the opening.

Connections are simply filled with acrylic/plastered after installation.

When installing in the reveal, it must be noted that the clear door width and height change significantly. In height, this is a maximum of an additional 150mm (100mm frame profile at the top, 50mm foot profile at the bottom) and a minimum of an additional 70mm (60mm frame profile at the top and 10mm frame profile at the bottom). In width, this is a maximum of 300mm (100mm frame profile left, 100mm frame profile right, door thickness 100mm) and a minimum of an additional 220mm (60mm frame profile left, 60mm frame profile right, door thickness 100mm).

Here is an example calculation for the minimum and maximum clear door passage; there are, of course, intermediate solutions that are possible but not explicitly considered here:

• Frame profile top, left and right 100mm each, foot profile 50mm:
• Clear door height 1840mm (2000mm reveal height -10mm air -100mm top profile -50mm bottom profile)
• Clear door width 490mm (800mm reveal width -10mm air -100mm door thickness -100mm left profile -100mm right profile).
• Quite narrow.
• With a clear door width of 490mm, the door base would be the Dresden model.

 

• Frame profile top, left and right 60mm each, foot profile 10mm:
• Clear door height 1920mm (2000mm reveal height -10mm air -60mm top profile -10mm bottom profile),
• Clear door width 570mm (800mm reveal width -10mm air -100mm door thickness -60mm left profile -60mm right profile).
• Not a lot, but you can see that using different frame profiles alone already creates more comfort in terms of passage dimensions.
• With a clear door width of 570mm, however, the door base would be the Leipzig model!

Installation situation D:

The special feature here is that there is an incoming and a transverse wall (marked in yellow) without a stop. The green markings show how the door is screwed to these two walls, which is possible from the room or corridor side.

Illustration:

Type D stands for installation on the corridor side or in the reveal. If the door is not placed in the reveal, but from the outside against the wall, the following tip can be used to achieve the largest possible clear door width:

Tip: if you use a narrow 60mm frame profile on the transverse wall, place the door hinge on the side of the incoming wall, and allow the door to open inwards when installed on the room side and outwards when installed on the corridor side, you can widen the frame by the thickness of the door = 100mm. This means your clear door width would only be restricted by the 60mm of the frame profile on the transverse wall. This tip can, of course, also be applied to installation situations where the installation is not directly in the reveal.

Here is a simple sketch for easier understanding, of a door with 100mm frame profiles, this also works with the narrower 60mm frame profile, which of course opens up many possibilities:

 

Installation situation E:

Type E stands for direct installation in the wall reveal, which essentially corresponds to Type C, but with direct installation without the use of mounting brackets.

Illustration:

 

Installation situation F:

Type F, in turn, is analogous to Type D, but with the deviation of installation from the inside of the room.

In the next step, you will determine the perfect dimensions for your door and select the appropriate base model for your project.
