Doorhan Gate: advantages and disadvantages

For more than 2 decades, DoorHan has been producing various types of gates and shutters, automations and various equipment for warehouses and other types of products that are in demand today.

Today, DoorHan company produces a line of modern gates, which consists of 9 popular series.

The choice of a specific model should take into account:

• dimensions of the opening of the garage room where the gate is installed;
• the parameters of this room;
• thickness of the walls, because the weight of the gate will depend on them;
• distance from the floor to the ceiling of the garage.

Gates for garages from DoorHan have some features that the consumer should be aware of initially:

• Often these gates have an unusual size and appearance that can impress many buyers.
• It is possible to install this gate in the openings of any parameters, which is their main difference from the products of other companies, while it is worthwhile to evaluate the high-quality thermal insulation with which the premises will be provided.

• A wide choice of gate type: basically, these are rolled products from steel profiles, sliding or hinged products, spiral gates, high-speed and most popular today - sectional type gates. Such gates are needed to completely close the garage opening: sections gradually rise to the ceiling of the room.

DoorHan produces 9 sets of this type of gate and differ from each other characteristic merits (and negative sides, too):

• Series marked Yett - this is the first 5, the most affordable ones. They have an attractive appearance, do not require a certain size of the opening, and the installation can be carried out without the help of professionals, that is, with the buyer's own power and quickly enough.
• RSD Series - 1 and 2, suitable for all types of garages.
• Premium Series It is much more expensive, since the canvas is additionally lined with aluminum to increase its durability.The company also produces sectional cloth on special parameters, which will significantly differ from the standard. The most important thing is to precisely use the instruction manual, then such products will last you as long as possible.

Retractable gates have another name - sliding, because this is the basis of the main principle of their work: the gate is moved aside, opening the opening. This type of product is suitable for those places where vehicles pass quite often.

Among their main advantages are the following:

• for their unimpeded work there is no need to clean snow or leaves from time to time;
• they save space;
• they are massive and durable;
• no limiter on top, therefore suitable for any type of transport.

In addition to the merits, there is a gate and cons:

• such products are made 2-3 times longer;
• need to build a solid foundation, which makes their installation more costly in time and financial terms;
• Only professional installation is suitable.

DoorHan produces a canvas for these gates of vertical lamellas, which can move perpendicularly or parallel to the opening, while being open on the sides.

Selection of automation remains for the buyer, as well as the question of an additional sidebar window or gate. Their installation will depend on a certain type of equipment.

As the material for the manufacture of the gate is most often used:

• professional sheet (the most bought, as cheap);
• "Steel sandwich" (has a catchy look and design, with little weight);
• forged products (will become a stylish decoration if designers and masters of art forging are involved).

The peculiarity of this type of products causes the mandatory presence of a specialist during their installation and selection (you need to calculate all the parameters of the garage in order to correctly determine the weight and type of the gate).

DoorHan garage products have a high quality of performance and can successfully compete with leading global manufacturers, and due to the low price (especially during repairs), they have almost become monopolists in their market.

The company produces rolling shutters, but they are rarely used by domestic consumers. According to reviews, if they are put in a garage, then the temperature will be like outside, and the garage, even if it’s cold, is better to close with a lifting-sectional gate and heat insulation. Then the tool and the car will be in good condition. The company also has high-speed gates - those that have a lifting speed of up to 2.5 m / s. By the way, if necessary, the specialists of the company can quickly reprogram all their automation.

The company also produces not quite standard models.

Delivering a huge selection of gates to the market, the company's specialists have envisaged that:

• In each case, the gate was released according to individual parameters;
• A set of garage doors of ordinary parameters can be installed without the help of a specialist;
• Almost all products have the ability (if necessary) to insert an additional wicket or window opening into them;

Automation for doors Doorhan is presented in the form of an automatic mechanism, which is used to work with such types of gates as:

• Swinging. In this case, you need to carefully examine the area of ​​the canvas before you select the automatic for the gate. The basic package includes 2 electric drive, control unit, fasteners, remote control.
• Retractable and folding. In this situation, lever and chain drive types are perfect. The key role will be played by the guide rollers. Basic equipment - electric, magnetic limit switches, mounting base, fasteners.
• Sliding (sliding). Doorhan automation, which you will need to purchase when working with this type of gate, was created using the modern “oil bath” technique. The main function here is the motor. Complete set - 2 electric drives, control unit, fasteners
• Sectional. Doorhan automation, which is used with these constructions, depends on the frequency of use and the dimensions of the garage.It is best to use shaft and chain drive types. Automatic systems for garage models are most often represented by ceiling modifications with a powerful engine, ensuring smooth raising and lowering of the leaf along the guides. Basic configuration - drive, curved traction, remote control, a set of brackets, a set of hardware, instructions.

In some cases it is possible to carry out self-assembly of doors manufactured by Doorhan.

Proper installation of such systems occurs in several stages:

1. First, work is done on the quality preparation of the garage.
2. The frame for the future gate is assembled with its subsequent fastening to the opening.
3. Installation of the necessary mechanisms and the door leaf itself.
4. Adjustment of mounted systems.

Before starting work, you should make sure that you have a complete package of the product delivery, otherwise you will need to look for and buy more missing parts.

The main requirement in the preparation of the garage opening for the installation of the gate is to check the absence of various cracks on it and the presence of a solid foundation. To do this, the outdated coating of the lining is carefully removed, the cracks are removed with the help of a special solution, the surface is leveled with plaster, while these measures are carried out both inside the garage and outside. If the opening is built of foam blocks, hollow bricks or gas silicate blocks, then it should be pre-strengthened.

This frame is reinforced with anchors. Concrete walls and brick structures do not need additional reinforcement. Next you need to maximize the clean space of the garage, otherwise the installation of the canvas will be inconvenient to carry out.

Gates can be mounted in 3 popular ways: overhead, stitching and embedding in the wall. The waybill method is the simplest and is most often used for roller shutters: a shaft is fixed to the wall above the opening, and guides are mounted on the sides of it.Prolochny way - fixing the shaft on top of the opening. In fact, the automatic box in this case creates a new lintel, which will be 35-40 mm lower than the existing base.

Embedding is the most difficult and difficult method that is used extremely rarely. For the most part, they trust his professionals. It is best of all to entrust some types of gates to specialists immediately, for example, it is very difficult to install a panoramic industrial sectional door by yourself.

At the end of all work, the system should move smoothly and evenly. Installation of products with their own hands - although a difficult task, but most often quite doable.

If after installation there is a spontaneous opening of the gate without control from your side, then you should definitely contact the company's specialists. In almost all models of the manufacturer’s doors, manual adjustment of the drive is possible.

Additional insulation of the garage room can be done with the help of a special external seal produced by Doorhan.The main condition for the best use of sectional doors is a long stress state of the cables. They are needed for the movement of the working web and for its balancing.

It is impossible to prevent even millimeter sagging of cables - this is the main mistake of using sectional products, which can lead to damage to the mechanism. Replacement of cables is possible only in case of complete loss of their performance. Sagging cables can be manually adjusted in minutes.

Do not forget about the constant care of the gate - they need to be treated with a special lubricant in the winter (once a month), and in summer, spring and autumn to increase the interval between servicing up to 2-3 months.

According to numerous reviews, Doorhan automatic gates almost do not require repair (with proper operation and necessary maintenance). Most of the malfunction of the gate can be eliminated with your own hands according to the drawings in the manual or get help from the company’s specialists as soon as possible.

The company maintains its products correctly.
