Install hinges and hinges on metal doors
The functions of door hinges depend, to a large extent, on the type of door in question and its particularities. There are different types of doors depending on the material they are made of. The most common are wooden doors, although glass doors or metal doors also stand out. There is a type of door whose hinge installation process is more complex due to the resistance, hardness and difficulty in its treatment. These are the doors that are made of iron .
As this type of doors have specific and different characteristics, the hinges must adapt to their weight, shape and density . In this way, the hinge will be able to carry out its function of opening and closing the door. Therefore, special attention must be paid to what this type of hinges have to be like as well as their installation process.
Features that you should know about welding hinges for iron doors before installing them
One of the aspects to take into account in this type of hinges is the special care that must be carried out. That is why the presence of holes is common to allow periodic lubrication to be carried out and ensure that the parts can move correctly.
Another aspect that must be taken into account in this type of hinges is the welding process . It is necessary to weld the hinges correctly, always paying attention to the parts of the hinge and their position to ensure that they will open properly.
What must always be taken into account when installing an iron door hinge is the location of the hinge . Its resistance , useful life , as well as ease of rotation or silent opening of the door will depend on its correct placement on the door and in the frame.
Welding process of hinges on iron doors
To know the number of hinges that must be welded on an iron door, you must take into account the weight, size and construction of the hinges. Furthermore, in order to carry out the hinge welding process, it is important to have certain tools and instruments such as a hammer, a soldering iron, the corresponding hinges, mounting plates and special protective equipment (mask, protective clothing and gloves). ). Once we have the necessary materials to do the welding, we must take into account the following steps:
- Place the design on a flat surface and mark the attachment points
- Incorporate fat into the ties
- Take the sheet and mount it vertically
- Weld the two parts of the loop and check the position of the axis
- Check that there are no cracks or spaces
- Solder the ends
- Clean the weld area and apply paint
