These simple recommendations will help you avoid door problems in the future. Neither a strong enough frost, nor swearing from neighbors, nor uninvited guests will enter your house.
When the outer door is mounted, it is directly insulated. This is not very difficult to do with the help of specialized sealing materials, which you can buy in a store or make your own. They do it like this. A strip of leatherette is taken with a width of 100-120 millimeters, and also with a length corresponding to the length of 3 bars of the door frame (both vertical, as well as one horizontal). You will also need a strip of foam rubber 3-4 mm thick and, in addition, of the same length as, as well as a strip of leatherette.
Foam rubber turns into granitol. A strip of leatherette is fastened at the junction.
The sealing material is nailed straight along the door frame along two vertical bars and, in addition, the upper horizontal one, closing the gap between the door frame, the door.
The outer door must necessarily open outwards. So it will be unacceptable to knock her out. The best option for a strong, as well as very reliable door — metal or double. External — metal, and internal — from each material.
It is necessary to directly install sufficiently reliable locks with several degrees of protection on the external door. The main door of the house should also have a strong steel lock on the inside or a fairly reliable small chain, which are incredibly open from the outside. You also need a peephole in the door. Nowadays, the peephole with a panoramic view of 200 ° is recognized as the best.
Noise from adjoining living rooms can also be avoided, and if the outer door is soundproofed. To do this, you can also use foam, felt, batting, or an old blanket. This material is used to make soundproof pads. According to the size of the door, a frame is made from pine slats with a thickness of about 20 millimeters, a width of about 30 millimeters, which is then fixed to the door with the help of transverse rails. Holes are drilled in the door, a flat plate is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws (screws). Holes that leave screws (self-tapping screws) can also be filled with window putty, smoothed with sandpaper and, in addition, coated with oil-based paint or a suitable varnish composition.
