Benefits when choosing a Plant Room Door

Anti-corrosive construction: Both the frame and door leaves are constructed without welding to maintain anti-corrosive properties. With the frame and door made from Zintec steel with stainless steel hinges and hardwearing polyester powder paint finish the door is less prone to rust providing an all-round durable solution. MDM recommends outward opening doors for greater security.
Cost effective: A more cost effective and more durable alternative to wooden doors, which are commonly used on plant and substations.
Anti-vandal: The door leaf is constructed with an integral anti-jemmy strip and with high security solid steel dog bolts provide protection for the locking system detering unauthorised access. Locking bars are optional for added protection to external locking.
Easy installation: Lightweight construction and lift off hinges provide for easier installation (manufactured to comply with lifting regulations).
Easy access for large machinery: The option of a removable top transom panel provide greater access for plant machinery. Class 1 doors are available in extra wide bi-folding and tri-folding configurations.
Re-enforced frame profile: Frames are secured to the wall structure through pre-punched fixing holes which are concealed from view.

Advantages of ventilated (louvred) door leaves

Air flow: Ventilation can be provided by punched louvres on the outer skin of the door leaf and slots on the inner skin (60mm wide which protrude 5mm). Leaves can be half or fully louvred.
Vermin protection: Small louvred slots on the front and slots on the back of the door prevent the entry of small animals.
