The door opening mechanism is that part that no entry structure can do without. Users appreciated the new developments without the use of a door handle. This allows you to make the process more simplified, as well as give the door structure a visual flavor and originality.
Any mechanism is based on its own principle of operation. People give them preference, not only guided by personal tastes, but also paying attention to the possibilities of the room. After all, everyone is trying to create for themselves maximum comfort and convenience. Before choosing a door opening mechanism, it is worth sorting out each view.
Swing
There is no need to talk much about them - this is a classic. Depending on the canvas, the price of such a design varies. This is the most common option. You need to purchase a special box with fittings, secure the door leaf. As a result, the door is securely held on hinges. And the mechanism gives her the opportunity to freely open and close.
There are double and single views, in addition there are additional sashes and different decoration. Most often it is the input structure that has this form. It's reliable and simple, consumers say in reviews.
Such a door opens to the right or left side, depending on the needs of the owners. Most often, manufacturers make them universal, equipping them with the ability to mount hinges on either side. But before buying it is worth deciding exactly where the door will open.
Sliding
Compared to swing doors, this view is more convenient. Sliding save space, which in this case does not need to be occupied in order to leave the room. If the room is a small footage, then this is the only solution. The door opening mechanism is simple - they place bars with grooves along which the rollers move, opening the entrance or exit. There are a number of options for sale. We will consider them further.
Sliding door
It is fixed inside the opening; several small canvases are available. One is motionless, and the second is active, or both canvases are in motion. The choice is made by the owners, taking into account the area of the room.
Pencil case
There is only one leaf, the whole mechanism is inside the opening. Most often found in bedrooms and living rooms. The door opening mechanism implies its entry into the opening, to the handle. Often a room requires that all mechanisms be masked - in such a situation this is the best solution.
Each type of door structure has several advantages. By incorporating imagination, you simply create a unique design. Often the same mechanism is used in different forms. For example, a door-book is a few paintings, alternately folding and unfolding. The accordion design assumes the presence of several planks that fold.
Although this option is convenient, it has a tangible minus. Reviews say that in the process of sliding the door there is a loud sound. The mechanism is located on one side, therefore, after complete closure, gaps remain, which reduces sound insulation. But constantly there is an improvement of these designs, so in stores you can find new, more successful developments.
Unique spin
Doors with a rotor mechanism have a simple device. The base is the axis. Around her rotates the entire installation. Reviews note the possibility of opening such a door from either side. You do not need a pen. In expensive models there is a remote control, carried out using the remote control or mechanism located on the wall. Before buying, you should decide which canvas is suitable, as well as which direction you plan to turn.
But there is also a minus for such structures - it is difficult to mount this door with your own hands. Why it happens? Because the principle of operation is simple, but the opening mechanism is complex. The design includes two main elements - swing and sliding. Initially, movement along the rails begins, after which a rotation around the axis is made.
If the room is small, such a model would not be appropriate. When the room is large (store, office), then this design will become its hallmark and will impress with originality. Where such constructions most often appear:
- When zoning is required, but there is no wall that can become an obstacle to movement.
- When the doorways are small.
- If children and infirm old people in need of privacy live in the room.
The classification of doors by the way they are opened is extensive. To make a choice, you will have to consider many factors. How does a rotary door open? It swings open in different directions. This is convenient - you can rotate the structure to the right, left and forward, depending on the availability of free space.
In the process of movement, the canvas will not leave the box completely - the door assumes a perpendicular position. One part will be inside, the other outside. No sounds are noted, and no effort is required. The shutter operates on the basis of a magnet, the door fits tightly into the box, and noises are not heard in the room.
Pendulum
Pendulum - another version of the door opening mechanism. Types of designs may be different. What is the principle of their work? It is assumed that there is a special suspension that moves the canvas. The unwinding process is to the side. The door opens quickly and easily, but it goes slower. In a small room you can’t install this design.
Reviews about each mechanism are different, because people do not always carefully think over what exactly will be appropriate in a particular case. Everyone makes a decision himself, but modern developments are still most in demand (for example, designs with a rotor mechanism), because they are easy to operate. The mechanism of opening down is interesting, but, according to user reviews, this is not too convenient. It is not always worth focusing on the recommendations of other people, since any room is individual, has its own purpose, size and design.
What should be the doorway
What door opening systems are, it’s easy to figure out, but after that you should evaluate the opening. Not all doors can be mounted quickly and easily:
- The canvas is issued in standard form, if this is not an individual order. Its parameters are 400 by 900 mm and height is 2,100 mm.
- The box should be flat - an error of more than 4 mm is not allowed.
- An aperture of various thicknesses is undesirable; this moment is evaluated over the entire area.
- The floor should be without changes, with a uniform surface.
With an individual approach, the design fits into the project, taking into account the mechanism and characteristics. When work is carried out individually, any wishes of the client are taken into account. The door is installed after the completion of all repairs in the house or apartment.
Can there be any type of canvas
When choosing a door, it is worth paying attention to many nuances. This is not only an opening, but also what the canvas is made of. If this is a rotary mechanism, then the use of decorative glass on the surface is excluded. This is due to the severity of the glass, which is unacceptable. Otherwise, the rotation system will not work efficiently. Although combinations with lighter material, for example plastic, are allowed. But the design decision can be any. The main thing is not to deviate from the general style direction. Professionals embody any style - hi-tech, modern, classic, etc. At the same time, the canvas can be with two wings or single.
What to buy in the store for a complete set:
- Door leaf with rubber bands.
- Door frame with all the details.
- Rotor mechanism. These are levers, gaskets, fasteners, bushings, an axis, a rod and a lock in the form of a magnet.
- Platbands with elements of promotion.
- If the thickness of the box is large, add-ons are used.
The specified set is enough to create a high-quality, beautiful door with a set of different functions.
When choosing a mechanism, it is worth paying attention to a lot. The cost most often depends on the canvas. To save space, choose an accordion door, and if style is important, the rotary mechanism is a priority.
