Security Door Hengis

2/21/2020

I'm going to talk about hengis for security doors. There is a lot of hengis out in the market today for doors and security doors, now how to pick the best application for what we are trying to accomplish. Long time us and durability because these hengis are out side all day every day they have to put up with really bad heat in the summer and a lot of wind. I have made a lot of security doors for the Las Vegas weather and I have seen a lot of failures. There is a hengi called a barrel hengi this is a good hengi maybe for areas that might not get so hot and windy, the berrel hengi is a solid steel pin that goes into a sleeve that you have to grease. With the heet the grease will start to dry out and mixed with the wind the sand will get in to the hengi that will cause the hengi to sieve up now as a contractor I know to take the security door out of the frame and re grease the hengis but I have seen where customers do not know to do that and the security door will seize and then we have to cut the security door off, or maybe the berrel hengi has a zurge fitting and then maybe we can save the security door. Needless to say I do not recommend berrel hengi for your security door. There is a basic door hengi we do not us those because you can pull the pin out and take the security door off, there is no security in that. We like to use a hengi called book hengi. The book hengi looks a lot like a basic hengi but the book hengi is much bigger the pin in the center can not be pulled out or hit out the center pin is mushroom tipped on top and bottom, the steel is at least 1/8" inch thick so the hengi is very heavy duty. If it gets to hot or really dusty all you have to do is wipe it off with a rag and spray the hengi with a dry lub.

Security Comes In The Form Of Iron

Security Doors well as gates and window coverings made from iron represent the finest forms of home security that are available anywhere. Many people begin to think about high tech solutions in home security like the installation of cameras or digitally fenced motion detectors that will begin recording in a use for turning on lights when there is some form of motion detected within a space. While these security solutions are certainly not bad, they don’t do much to actually prevent the breaching of that space. While it may be a deterrent to have an alarm go off that notifies some sort of service, you’re still relying on that service then identifying that it isn’t legitimate threat to its, then contacting the authorities. No matter what, a person who is broken into your house understands a have at least 5 minutes before anyone would show up. This is why the majority of break ins would involve smashing a window or kicking in a door then ransacking the home for a few minutes searching for valuables. Most of the time, when you have security cameras that are recording, all you end up with is pictures of the house being robbed. There is a possibility that they may help to identify someone if that person is caught, but they do no good in actually preventing the entering of the home.

In order to fully feel secure in an area like Las Vegas, you need to install some low tech security features as well as the high tech ones. This means that you need to create a situation where it is difficult to get in, as opposed to simply monitoring someone who has already made inside. Iron is the best material to create a barrier which can be placed over the less secure aspects of your home. Most of the time, people enter your home through windows or through doors simply because they’re easy to get through. Everyone realizes that glass is easy to break, but few people realize how easy it is to actually check in a front door. They think that because it is made of wood it must be difficult to get through. When they see that a swift kick can literally remove the door from the hinges, they suddenly realize the importance of mounting an iron security door in front of that wooden door. Luckily, the security doors are being manufactured today do not look like they did in the past. You can get quite ornate with scroll work and other features that create an elegance to the home while also providing an extra level of security. If the iron security door is welded, it will be nearly impossible to bend any of the pieces in order to create and entry hole. A person would need to cut through the iron in order to gain access, and most people who were interested in getting in and out as quickly as possible are not going to spend the time necessary to do this. Real security starts with iron.
