Tips for choosing door linings

To improve the safety of the home, regardless of the type of door and the material of its manufacture, it is possible to install a protective or decorative overlay on the structure. The first option can protect the lock from breaking, and the second will decorate the turnkey connector.

The entrance door lining is part of the locking structure and is used to design the key connector from the outside as well as inside. Such constructions add to the attractiveness of the well, as a result of which the door becomes complete.

On the outer side of the canvas, armor plates are commonly used, which additionally protect the locking mechanism from external negative factors and complicate the penetration into the dwelling.Such products can be mounted on all mortise locks, regardless of their type.

Door trim for metal or wooden door also plays an important role. Its main purpose is to decorate the appearance of the door leaf. Today on the market are armored decorative models, which at the same time enhance protection. With the help of a decorative lining, you can hide the holes that were made in the door when mounting the mechanism. These elements are usually made of metal, which has a large thickness, which eliminates its deformation during use.

In the form of such products are:

• rectangular;
• square;
• round.

Color is chosen depending on the style of the door leaf. Typically, the lining is coated with powder paint, which is applied under the influence of high temperature and firmly adheres to the metal surface.

Currently, several types of structures can be used for locks.

These are the most common products. They are easy to install and are reliable because they are attached to the surface of the door with bolts, protecting the lock from breaking.If an attempt is made to penetrate the house, then when dismantling such a device noise will be heard that will attract the attention of others.

This is a reliable option that can effectively protect the lock from external influences. Such products are mounted in the hole on the door, as a result of which it is necessary to cut the fabric in some places. Hacking this design will not work inconspicuous and silent. The advantage of this device is that the plate fits snugly to the surface of the door and makes it impossible to reach the keyhole with sharp objects to damage the lock itself.

To install the product, you need to make a small recess near the well, which will fit the diameter of the plate. Then the plate is mounted on the door and fastened with screws. Installation must be carried out by specialists.

Such products are also mounted by drilling holes in the door leaf. They are recommended to be installed in cases where the diameter of the lining itself coincides with the connectors made under the lock.

With the help of such structures, it is possible to significantly increase the reliability of the lock and prevent penetration into the dwelling.Since the keyhole is the weakest point in the doorway, it is recommended to protect it additionally, which is provided by the armored cover plate.

This type of lining is made of durable metal, which is hardened during production and has a thickness of up to 8 mm. During installation, such a structure covers the well and all vulnerable points of the lock, allowing for the likelihood of burglary. This option is mounted with bolts. When installing an armor plate, it is recommended to pay attention to the fact that in the lock mechanism itself there must be holes for attaching such a plate.

All models of this type are characterized by increased durability, and also have such advantages as reliability and the possibility of mounting on any mortise locks. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of colors and shapes of such products.

Magnetic overlay is a special type of protective mechanism that has appeared recently. If you install it on the door, then it will not be easy to get to the keyhole, since the turnkey connector itself and the lock will be hidden by the plate. This type is a magnetic shutter, which provides the following benefits:

• prevents an attacker from examining the lock mechanism;
• does not allow to look in a room through a well;
• complicates the task of selecting a master key;
• It does not allow to spoil the well for the lock, for example, to glue it or pour acid on it.

The principle of operation of such structures is simple. The shutter on the magnetic cover can be turned or shifted to the side. It is activated by a key equipped with a special mechanism. Only with it you can unlock an item that is moving.

To get into the room when the curtain is displaced, use the usual key. Plates can be mounted on already installed locks or during installation.

At present, many door manufacturers use Italian locks, which are distinguished by reliable mechanisms and are quite simply installed. For installation in the opening of the blade, special holes should be made, and the turnkey outlets should be reinforced with plates to prevent the possibility of damage to the mechanism.When designing, technologies are used that imply a minimum of one sheet of steel up to 7 mm thick in front of the lock mechanism. A lining is also mandatory, depending on the type of door and lock.

It should be noted that for padlock there is no possibility of installing the lining. Therefore, to protect the home with this type of lock, it is recommended to select them depending on the particular use.

As can be seen from the above, door linings are practical, convenient and functional products that help not only to hide the defects on the doors that appeared during the installation of the lock, but also to protect the locking mechanism from burglary.
