A designed safe room door – is it possible?

Are you tired of the safe room’s heavy and massive door in your house, and are you interested in replacing it with a designed door? Do you want to know if installing a designed safe room door is possible, and what does it require? You have come to precisely the right place. This article will explain everything necessary to install designer doors in a safe room.

Why would we want a designed door for the safe room?

Well, the safety doors of the safe room are made of steel and are heavy and massive. The reason for this is apparent – they must resist being hit by missiles. There is no doubt that a door that should be resistant to falling missiles should be particularly heavy and massive so that it can be resistant to any impact. The problem is that sometimes, the weight and size of the door can make it challenging to operate comfortably at home. These doors are difficult to open and close, very heavy, and increase the risk of painful and dangerous closing on the fingers. In addition, these doors often detract from the home’s design because they are so large, massive, and particularly bland. So, if you live with children, have a hard time dealing with the safe room door, or hate its design, you must have thought of replacing the safe room door with a regular designed door.

What is the problem with replacing the safe room door?

Now that we understand what makes people want to replace the safe room door, we should know why it is not worth it. So the main reason not to replace the safe room door is because it endangers your life. If you replace the safe room door with a regular designed door, you expose yourself to a much higher danger. After all, the regular door you changed to does not protect you as much as the dedicated door. So, now that you understand this is a life-threatening situation, you can easily understand why replacing this room’s original and designated door is not worthwhile.

So what are we doing? Is it still possible to install a designed door for the safe room?

If you still want to improve the design of your home – you will want to hear what can be done about it. You will probably be happy to hear that it is possible to significantly improve the home’s design using an extremely quick and straightforward solution. It means installing internal doors to measure, usually made of wood. The decorative door is the part that will be showing and visible outside the safe room so that the original massive steel door will not be visible, and what is seen from the outside is the door you designed. This solution is excellent and especially suitable for those unsatisfied with the security door design in the safe room and those interested in a designed safe room door without giving up the original door that protects our lives when we are in the safe room during war. Indeed, you can find many people who choose to install interior doors designed for the safe room in addition to the security door of the safe room.

To install the additional interior door in the safe room you will have to check if you have preparation for interior doors to the safe room. In new apartments built during the last ten years, there is usually a preparation for interior doors for the safe room because the new standard for safe rooms in Israel requires that there be a place to install an additional door, following the recognition of the need for a functional and designated door for this room. So those who live in these apartments can install an interior door designed for the safe room on the frame that already exists in the safe room, which is prepared for installing another interior door. On the other hand, those who live in an apartment without preparation for an interior door for the safe room will have to add and install a new door frame for the additional interior door. Which, of course, will slightly increase the price of installing the designed safe room door.

Installing a designed safe room door without compromising safety

If you have decided to install an internal door for the safe room, then you should know that there are some safety rules that you must comply with. For example, the original dedicated door should open, close, and lock properly, even after adding the extra door. It must be ensured that objects outside or inside the safe room do not block the opening.

In addition, when it comes to interior doors – you should always choose only a leading company in this field, like us at Taldoor. This is so that you can be sure that you will receive high-quality and beautiful doors, which will allow safe and long-term use without the beauty or quality of the doors being destroyed after a few years of using them.
