Your home's entrance is your home's most visible exterior door and therefore a large part of the house's architectural expression. It is therefore important that you carefully consider its design and function. For example, do you want the door to let light into your home? Should it primarily serve as the family's or residents' entrance door?
Rationel's entrance doors consist of a frame, which can be delivered with or without transoms and mullions. You can choose to fill the entrance door's panels with glass and/or composite insulated panels. The filling as friezed panels is available in the Rationel FORMA and Rationel AURA range, while a smooth filling is available in all of our six product ranges. This provides a wealth of options in relation to design and depending on your needs and wants, you can also choose an entrance door either as outward opening or inward opening and as left or right hinged.
PANELLED DOORS
The door is the house's business card and the its look influences the architectural expression of the house. It is therefore important that you carefully consider the door's design and function. Our panelled doors are available as outward opening and inward opening, they can be hinged on the right or left side and come in a broad range of designs. As a standard, the panelled doors are fitted with a three point espagnolette bolt locking system. The door is prepared for an oval cylinder, but the cylinder needs to be ordered separately.
NOTES: The panelled door is not optimal if you live next to a particularly busy road, railway or similar. Here we recommend that you choose a solid door.
Security performance is a significant factor when it comes to selecting doors. Rationel's experience with Housing Associations, community developments and commercial projects, means that the security and safety of our products is second to none.
SECURED BY DESIGN
Our enhanced doors have been tested and marked according to the highest national and European standards, including 'Secured by Design'. To be certified under this initiative, the door frame and corresponding lock and hardware set has to be able to withstand a series of physical tests, based on common burglary methods. Rationel has a wide range of products, which meet 'Secured by Design' specifications.
A three-point espagnolette locking mechanism and a solid hook bolt in hardened steel are one of the burglary inhibiting details in Rationel doors.
A reinforcement espagnolette which increases the strength of all the door closing points.
Extra-strong reinforcement espagnolette increases the strength of all door hinges.
Hook bolts in hardened steel combined with a reinforced front plate can resist even severe attacks from the burglars' tools.
A security receiver with inclined screws fixed in the sturdy part of the frame makes it difficult to break open the window.
Window hinges reinforced with extra-strong security angles which make it extremely difficult to pull the sash out of the frame.
