Types of anti-theft doors and their frames
One of the very important points about anti-theft doors is that they have different dimensions. In fact, since the variety of anti-theft doors is large, their dimensions will naturally be different. The same issue is also effective in the dimensions of the frames of these doors.
In general, three types of Security door are available in the Iranian market:
- Security door Iranian
- Security door Leave
- Security door Chinese
Each of these construction doors have different dimensions. Therefore, if you want to replace the old door of your home with one of these anti-theft doors, you should pay attention to the dimensions of this Security door before anything else.

As we mentioned, installing Security door on legacy frameworks depends a lot on the version of Security door. So if you want to make sure that it is possible to install the Security door without destruction, first of all consider the dimensions of the door:
Security door Chinese
The dimensions of this door are usually 105 in 210 cm. Of course, these dimensions are for standard Chinese doors. Its various dimensions are usually 105 in 205 centimeters. Also the dimensions 110 in 210 cm can also be found in the market.
To install this door on the old frame, you must first see what the dimensions of the old frame are. The noteworthy point here is that usually the dimensions of Security door china are in harmony with the dimensions of old frames. Therefore, there is no need to destroy.
Security door Leave
Another anti-theft door available in the country's market is Security door Turk, which has standard dimensions of 115 in 220 cm. Its various dimensions are 110 in 220 cm.
In general, you should not forget that in order to install construction doors on the frame, the dimensions of the frame should always be slightly larger than the dimensions of the door. For example, in Chinese anti-theft doors, we need a space of 105.5 by 210.5 centimeters. This means that the dimensions of the frame should be at least half a centimeter larger than the dimensions of the door.
If the dimensions of the door frame are large enough to install all kinds of anti-theft doors on it, there is no need to destroy it. But if the dimensions of the door are bigger than the frame, you will have trouble and it is necessary to destroy it.
Note: Since most anti-theft doors are made based on standard dimensions, they are usually installed on all door frames and there is no need to destroy them.

Step by step replacing old doors with Security door
In the following, we have mentioned step by step the steps of replacing the old door with Security door:
- In the first step, the exact dimensions of Security door should be measured. This measurement is usually done in two ways:
- In the first method, if the inside width of the old door frame is less than 105 cm; The old metal frame is cut all at once using a milling machine, and the new frame replaces the old one.
- In the second method, if the inside width of the frame is more than 105 cm, the new frame is welded on the old metal frame.
- In the second step, after the Security door frame is installed, it is time to concretize the back of the frame. To do this, construction materials such as cement and sand are used. Many times, Security door installers neglect concreting behind the frame and as a result, it cannot be said that their work is original. If the back of the frame is left empty, the amount of insulation of the door will decrease. It also increases the possibility of catching thieves.
- In the third step, after the Security door is completely installed, it is time to install the wooden architrave on the front of the door and the back of the frame. These architraves, which are placed on the metal frame, in addition to increasing the beauty of the door, also make its appearance uniform. The installation of architrave on the front and back of the door should be done according to the desired dimensions. This step is done after the concrete behind the frame dries.

If the width of the inner space of the frame is more than the required amount, the cans can be welded and their size can be adjusted to the desired dimensions. Then installed Security door on it.
But if the internal dimensions of the frame are smaller than the required size, we have two possibilities:
- The first possibility is when the difference between the door and the frame is less than 3 cm. In such a situation, the pot part of the frame will be cut with a steel bur without damaging the surrounding walls. Then we make the size inside the frame to the desired dimensions. Finally, we weld Security door on the frame.
- In the second case, there is no other way except destruction because the dimensions of the door are much larger than the frame and it cannot be installed by any other method.
Be careful that in such a situation, a part of the old frame can always be seen from outside and inside. Therefore, to cover the old frame, you should use various types of mdf covers or architrave that are the same color as the door.
Meanwhile, another important point that comes up when replacing the old door with Security door is its insulation. If you want to install the new door on the old frame, you must use insulating materials to make sure that the heat and sound exchange does not take place.
