Security Door Hengis

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.
