Top 10 entrance door manufacturers

It’s pretty silly to explain the functionality of the front door - this is a thing that no private house or apartment can do without; Perhaps the most important attribute of personal housing security. Of course, the degree of reliability of such doors strongly depends on the price segment. The cheapest models can boast except a pleasant appearance - the protection functions here will be performed purely nominally.

In the case of more expensive doors, developers are bothering both the design and reliability parameters, complementing the structure with stiffeners, and also using sheets of two millimeters and above as a base.

The market segment of entrance doors is very extensive, and includes a huge number of manufacturing companies. We decided to focus only on the best time-tested companies. Your attention is the top 10 best manufacturers of entrance doors in two main categories. The final list was formed based on the following criteria:

1. customer reviews about the experience of use;
2. opinion of professionals;
3. the vastness of the model range;
4. degree of fame of the company.

The best manufacturers of entrance doors of the budget price segment

5 Outpost

A company that was very popular until 2009. It began its thorny path not so long ago - production was launched in 1998. For 11 years, Outpost fought hard for profit, but in the aforementioned 2009, management realized that it was only possible to reduce the cost of the door manufacturing process by moving production to China. From that moment on, things went uphill - the products began to “stamp” 500,000 copies a year.

In general, users are satisfied with the Chinese origin of the doors, but cases of hacking or unexpected breakdowns catch up with some at the most inappropriate moments. This is explained very simply - since the moment the company moved to China, fake copies began to arrive under the trademark “Outpost”.

Advantages:

• low cost even for elite doors;
• good concentration of service centers throughout the country, proper service;
• A good choice is a wide range of entrance doors.

Disadvantages:

• fittings are suitable and supplied only from the factory;
• brings insulation in individual models;
• availability of low-quality fakes on the market.

4 Groff

Groff is one of the official trademarks of the manufacturer Bravo, specializing in the sale of metal doors. Strikingly different from the classic products of the management company by the use of exceptionally thick steel, reinforced construction with additional stiffeners, fire-resistant mineral wool produced by Knauf, as well as complete fittings (handles, locks, hinges, carports, etc.).

The aesthetics of the Groff doors are complied with to match the high nominal quality, and laid in the early design stages thanks to the work of full-time designers. Ultimately, consumers receive ready-made solutions for installation in apartments and private houses, the guarantee of long service which is confirmed by a ten-year period of compulsory service from the producers themselves. Of course, one of the most worthy candidates for a place in the ranking, according to user feedback, and according to experts.

3 Bravo

The indispensable leader of the domestic segment of entrance doors of recent times, the model range of which has over 350 units of the original product. In this catalog, the doors represented by the modern technology of finishing 3D-Graf, whose cost is significantly higher than the market average, are presented in isolation.

However, there is an alternative option, the cheapness of which is due to the use of veneer. From the point of view of execution, the entrance doors of the manufacturer Bravo do not differ in abundance, however, this is entirely compensated by reliability and quality. The products of this company are successfully sold under other trademarks, such as Bravo Lux and BelDver, bringing a good profit to the owner. Regarding user reviews, we can conclude the following: a number of models of the company's budget segment have mediocre noise isolation, but all of them, without exception, provide reliable protection against drafts, which is caused by the use of good seals and insulation material with pronounced thermal functions.

2 Neman

A company that knows a lot about true security. It has a wide model range and a very good price for its products. He cares not only (and not so much) about security, but also about the appearance of the doors - it is obvious that the product does not take on entertainment.

According to the characteristics of reliability, everything is good - the doors are made of thick sheets of alloy steel and all, without exception, are equipped with a double lock. But the number of locking elements can be increased at the request of the user. Also striking is the fact that the buyer can choose accessories from other manufacturers - the sense of pride in the Neman is far from rolls (unlike some competitors).

Advantages:

• availability of quality certificates for all basic safety parameters;
• acceptable cost of product lines;
• abundance of design solutions.

Disadvantages:

• not found.

1 Has become

Technically, the company “Stal” resembles the premium manufacturer “Elbor” - their doors also have progressive protection against burglary and good reliability characteristics in general. However, the main difference lies in the price category: if Elbor is focused on the production of doors for all three price segments, then in the Arsenal there are no very expensive models. But there is a well-deserved love of users, who all speak positively about the company's products as one.

Professionals are not far behind happy consumers, noting that although the company has some “punctures” in the form of unsuccessful models for apartments and private houses, it is still an exemplary middle-level manufacturer.

Advantages:

• a variety of exterior door trim options;
• compliance with all the preferences and wishes of the buyer;
• good service;
• wide range of goods.

Disadvantages:

• Some models do not differ brand quality.

The best manufacturers of entry doors of the middle price segment

5 Fortus

The German grand production of entrance doors has one interesting tendency, different from the absolute majority of direct competitors.Instead of selling ready-made solutions, they take orders for the manufacture of an individual product assembled according to the canons of their favorite designers since childhood. Thus, a wide range of choices is available to consumers by the number of door wings, the complexity of the locks, their degree of burglary resistance, the color and material of the door leaf (metallic, wooden, combined) and the shape of the fittings, as well as the type of finish.

Using simple mathematical operations, we found out that there are over a thousand variants of the combination of parameters of entrance doors from Fortus. Consequently, any user will be able to find the door for both the apartment and the private house. According to numerous reviews, the products of this company have a high degree of reliability, do not suffer from problems with noise insulation and heat preservation inside the premises.

4 Dierre

Dierre is an Italian firm for the production of reliable entrance doors, located in the elite of the segment and not in need of excessive formal representations. Its main feature is the full hope of advanced developments introduced at any convenient opportunity in the design of products. Thus, the latest trends have led to the creation of “smart” doors, with the function of locking and unlocking the lock via a remote control (as an example, the Elettra lineup).

The second important quality of doors from Dierre is the observance of a special style, sustained in the framework of moderate chic and delicacy. Any design of the door leaf is accompanied by the selection of unique accessories, which gives the product a touch of exclusivity and exclusivity (model At-3). Yes, the cost is very high, but the quality, appearance and reliability fully compensate for this drawback.

3 Guardian

Russian factory for the manufacture of metal doors, which began its work in 1994. He deserves the title of the best manufacturer of beautiful doors. It is beautiful, because aestheticism of execution very often interests users in the first place. With regard to product reliability, everything is also good - the door collections have a number of domestic and international quality certificates in the field of fire safety, sound insulation, protection against burglary and operational durability.

But among the minuses it is possible to single out not the most agile service: according to consumer reviews, malfunctions that have arisen during use (even if minor) are eliminated over a long period of time.

Advantages:

• adjusting the door and door frame at the highest level (gaps are minimal);
• a wide range of products in all price segments;
• product compliance with high quality standards;
• The main filling material is a mineral-cotton plate.

Disadvantages:

• not the fastest service.

2 TOREX

The company, whose head office and assembly shop are located in the city of Saratov. Production facilities were launched in 1989 - almost before the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, over the course of a few years, the company has gained great popularity not only in the countries of the USSR, but also beyond their borders. At the moment, TOREX has eight warehouses in the territory of the CIS states, from which, in fact, the main trade with the world occurs.

Of the positive features of the company, it is possible to mention a good service, a huge variety of model lines and the highest quality of each individual product. Of course, all this has one flaw, and it is obviously in the high cost. But quality, as well as the peace that goes with it, is expensive.

Advantages:

• excellent heat resistance (from 15 minutes to 5-6 hours);
• compliance with all key safety standards;
• extensive product range;
• in most cases, an attractive design.

Disadvantages:

• high price and expensive service.

1 Elbor

On the doors of the company "Elbor" you can hear a lot of good reviews and, it is worth noting, very deserved. The plant began to function in 1976, but it was far from specializing in the production of doors - at that time all enterprises worked for the benefit of the defense power of the Land of Soviets. There is no better way to think of a better start - to re-qualify the country's defense industry for the production of an almost defense element of personal space. This fact led to the high quality of metal entrance doors, the main merit of which is the almost complete immunity to cracking. However, in other aspects of the model from "Elbor" manifest themselves from a good side. The only drawback is the high cost of production, in fact, excluding the presence of doors of the lowest price segment.

Advantages:

• the original design, aimed at improving the protection of doors against burglary;
• The main type of filler is mineral wool;
• the use of refractory coatings;
• excellent appearance in all five model series.

Disadvantages:

• high cost of production.

How to choose a reliable entrance door

Choosing a good front door is a matter of responsibility and personal awareness of each user. Of course, you can resort to the proven method “the more expensive the better”, but if finances do not allow you to purchase premium goods, we recommend paying attention to the following characteristics for self-selection of the front door:

The basic number of locks. If you do not want to make an individual order, and you have to choose from a limited number of models, give preference to doors with several locks installed. It is desirable that they represent a fundamentally different mechanisms - in the case of opening one of the locks there is a guarantee that the second will create a problem for the conditional burglar.

Availability of additional locking elements. The optional inclusion of constipation such as the common heck (or, at worst, a simple chain), will be a pleasant addition and a bonus to protecting the door when you try to break it.

Type of door hinge. Recently, hidden loops embedded under a decent metal layer for all the same security needs from breaking have been very popular. However, the installation of such elements increases the overall cost of the structure and work carried out. Therefore, with limited budget hidden loops can be neglected (or save on other options).

Type of exterior trim. The parameter that is responsible not so much for safety as for the neat appearance of the entrance door. Finishing with fabric and wood is acceptable for private houses, when safety is guaranteed already at the stage of entering the yard area. For apartments, however, preference should be given to metal doors with a powder refractory coating, giving the door additional strength.

Insulating material. The presence of insulating filler determines the throughput of the door leaf to noise and cold / hot air. The best material is mineral wool, which almost completely absorbs external noise and ensures the preservation of heat inside the corridor. Cheap doors have no filler at all.
