Application
Acoustic rated steel doorsets are used in more and more environments as our world gets noisier. When you specify a steel door for security or fire then why not also consider the acoustic performance rating if the door is anywhere near any likely source of noise in the workplace or even at home.
Education, media, theatres, cinemas, schools, offices, health care, leisure centres and production rooms all benefit from the blocking of sound to protect rooms or areas where staff or customers are likely to spend time.
In the industrial sector there are many obvious and very noisy machinery and plant rooms where the highest levels of noise need containing for protection.

Measure
A steel doorset is always ordered by the OVERALL dimensions including the door leaf and outer sub fixing frame with no tolerances allowed for. Most people would generally allow 5mm tolerance all the way around the door, but it all depends on how square or true your aperture is on site. This is up to your judgement based on the aperture quality.
This would mean if your structural opening size is measured as 1000mm width and 2100mm height the door and frame ought to be 990mm wide and 2090mm high with the frame and any threshold included.
Always measure the top, middle and bottom of your aperture width and the left and right hand side for the height and if possible do a measure to make sure the opening is square as well.
Always use millimetres for measuring as this is how we relay back the ordering dimensions to you for checking and approving a drawing for your order.
We will always send a drawing for approval before manufacturing commences.
