How much do metal swing gates weigh?

swing gate are one of the best solutions for a house, a summer residence, any private plot. The design is not only functional and durable, but also durable. swing gate frame, in any case, is made of reliably welded metal, which is protected from corrosion. And if the doors are also made of metal, then the operational characteristics of the structure increase significantly.

The main advantages of swing gates made of metal:

• Durability, shatter resistance- they will become a wonderful protection for your yard from the visit of "uninvited guests";
• Durability- metal gates serve for decades, not succumbing to the influence of external factors. They are resistant to mechanical damage, temperature changes, high humidity and ultraviolet rays. The canvas of most of these gates is covered with polymers, therefore it is not subject to corrosion;
• Wide variety of design solutions. Gates can be made according to an individual project: have forging elements, inserts from other materials, and so on. Therefore, creating the perfect interior is easier than it seems.

Metal gates are equipped with both manual and automatic drives. Automation greatly simplifies the control of the structure: to open / close the gate, just press the button on the remote control.

from 5000 rub/side (brick opening)

1. After expanding the upper part of the opening, be sure to insert a 60x30 corner, preferably on both sides, or a channel. This is necessary so that there is no sagging of the wall. the distance from the door frame to the roof becomes smaller.

2. Garbage after breaking out must be taken out to construction containers.

What you need to know when choosing a garage door!

1. Frame design. Reliable and powerful frame of metal gates, a guarantee of durable operation of all elements. Various combinations of a combination of thick-walled corners and profile pipes will save your gate from warping and deformation, especially in spring and autumn.

2 .G arcade hinges. For comfortable operation of the hinges, they must be lubricated all year round, even if the gate has not been used. Dirt must not get inside the loop. Otherwise, it can be removed only with grease.The best option for the ratio of price and quality is a loop d = 36 mm, on a support ball, with an adjusting bolt.

3 . Garage door threshold. The higher it is, the more convenient it is to open and close the doors in winter.

Also, rain and melt water will not get inside the garage. A reliable option is a profile pipe 50x50 mm.

When ordering a garage door without insulation, you need to pay attention to a number of factors:

1. Opening geometry. This means that in order to correctly measure the gate, you need to understand what condition your garage door opening is in now. Forms are in the form of a trapezoid, a parallelogram and a rectangle. As you yourself understand, the smoother the opening, the smaller the technological gaps will be. Also, from the outside of the opening, additional cashing or a metal corner is not required to close the slots.

2. Ventilation of the room. If the garage is heated or damp, i.e. moisture or condensation constantly accumulates, we recommend using forced ventilation. We install a ventilation grill in the gate leaves. Lattices are of two types: closed and open. The difference is only in size.

3. Protection of metal joints and locks. Often use reinforcement due to a metal sheet 3 mm thick. But this is not as practical as it seems at first glance. The first is an increase in the weight of the working leaves, i.e. Garage door leaves become heavier and hinges may sag or the metal may warp. Our company has found a way. We leave a sheet 2 mm thick, but along the perimeter of each of the wings we weld a strip 5 mm thick to the armor. So, the weight of the gate does not increase much, but in the right places the thickness of the metal reaches 7 mm. A more budget option is also possible - this is the use of armor strips only in places where the castle is protected.

Welded garage doors - time-tested quality

Garage doors are an essential element of its overall design. They must be made of durable material, have a reliable locking system and fit perfectly into the opening. Advantages of welded garage doors: high degree of protection against burglary and intruders; Ensuring unhindered entry and exit of the car; High-quality anti-corrosion coating; Durability and at the same time simplicity of design; Long service life; No obstruction when opening for neighboring buildings.

garage door represent an ideal ratio of quality and price. They are simple, but at the same time they meet all modern requirements put forward to them. All their elements - the frame, hinges, threshold and the canvas itself are made of high quality materials using the latest technologies in metal processing by welding.

Welded metal garage doors with a well-thought-out locking system and burglary protection- this is what motorists need for the complete anti-theft safety of their steel horses. Features of the manufacture of welded garage doors. According to the opening mechanism and type of construction, there are the following welded garage doors: swing and sliding. And if the retractable sash designs are more suitable for those motorists whose garage is located in a protected house adjoining area, then standard swing gates are suitable for a garage located anywhere, including on the territory of a garage cooperative. Swing gates for the garage are 2 leaves, each of which occupies half of the doorway. They are attached to the doors with hinges and are equipped with a reliable lock and anti-burglary mechanism. For those motorists who prefer to store in the garage not only a car, but also a tool, as well as independently engage in minor repairs in it, garage doors with insulation are offered. With such gates, you can not be afraid of the need for a long warm-up of the engine even in the most severe frosts. There will always be a positive temperature in the garage. Of great importance is the strength and quality of the frame of the gate and their frame. They are made of durable and high-quality metal, which is not subject to corrosion and temporary wear. With such a reliable frame, you can not be afraid of the gate skew, they will serve for a long time and regularly. Welded garage doors meet all modern requirements for their quality and functionality. They serve for a long time, thanks to the simplicity of design and the reliability of their implementation.

Fire Safety Certificate:

Enterprise ___ manufactures metal smoke-proof fire doors:
VMP 02/60 with fire resistance limit EI-60, TU 5284-005-51740842-2005

Gates oar fire-prevention are designed to block the spread of fire through the openings of buildings, as well as to create conditions for the safe evacuation of people and protect the ways along which extinguishing is carried out in buildings and structures for various purposes. The design and characteristics of the gate comply with the fire safety requirements established in SNiP 21–01–97*.

Structural scheme:

Characteristics of fire doors

Gate version: The gates are made of a steel box and hinged doors made of metal, three-layer, wall panels with three-layer mineral wool insulation (hereinafter referred to as PMTS), fixed around the perimeter in a metal profile. There is a wicket in one of the gate leaves (in design, the wicket is identical to the door of the metal fireproof blind series DMP-G 01/60). Execution of the gate can be with or without a threshold, with or without a gate (at the request of the Customer). To seal the gaps in case of fire between the gate leaves and the frame, as well as between the frame and the wicket leaf, a thermally expanding elastic material and a rubber seal are used.

Equipment:

Gate complete set: hinges, levers (for opening gate leaves), lock and handle, cylinder mechanism, closers (for both leaves); anchor bolts and decorative caps to them. Instead of a door closer, it is possible to install an automatic drive (at the request of the Customer).

Wicket set(identical to the DMP-G 01/60 configuration): self-closing hinges - spring-loaded and structural (in addition to their direct functional purpose - opening / closing doors, they also act as a door closer), a Nemof lock and handle, a cylinder mechanism, a door closer (on request Customer); anchor bolts and decorative caps to them.

Coating appearance:

Gates are painted with polymer powder paint; basic colors light gray shagreen (Ral 7032) or in PMTS color (Ral 9002). A metal nameplate is installed on the outer surface of the Gate, with a fire safety sign, fire resistance limit (EI), serial number and date of issue, information about the manufacturer.

Gate weight

Mounting into the prepared building opening (license of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia No. 2/21813) of swing gates - 10% of the cost (see section ""). It is possible to manufacture gates for non-standard openings.

To place an order for fire doors, you need to fill out.

In a fence of any type and design, a wicket and entrance gates, most often hinged or retractable, should always be provided, ensuring the passage of a car or even a truck to the territory of the site. Today, metal swing gates are most often used for private properties. Less often - light recoil. The larger the fenced area, the taller and more serious the building, the more monumental the fence, the higher the gate, the more metal is used to make the frame and supports, which ensure the stability and strength of the structure. Not surprisingly, instead of cast iron and welded profiles, modern swing gate structures are increasingly using aluminum and forged bars.

Which gate is better

Today, the manufacturer seeks to make gates for private estates:

• The most durable and rigid, ensuring the resistance of the protective fence to burglary and penetration into private territory;
• Heavy enough so that the weight of the gate and inertia make it possible to withstand wind breakthroughs, and at the same time light so that the installation and management of swing metal gates do not require the use of huge massive poles and supports;
• Beautiful and graceful. As old as the world, swing gates can look hundreds of times more attractive than the monotonous and boring design of metal sliding, lifting or sectional entrances.

Note! The system of two wings on vertical hinges has one important advantage - the swivel assembly on canopies has twice the resource and reliability of the mechanism than similar "flat" structures. The standard resource determined by GOST for all types of swing metal gates is 20 thousand opening-closing cycles.

In reality, for well-made metal swing gates, these values ​​can easily be exceeded by 50-70%.

GOST No. 31174-2003 summarizes and describes all the main types of metal gates. In addition to swing and sliding systems, nine more options can be used to "lock" the passage, from sectional to folding. But in structures for fencing the territory, such devices are rarely used, since their use requires the arrangement of special technological arches and niches for cleaning the door leaf or panels. In rare cases, rolling shutter systems can be used to lock and block the passage, but in this case, installation will require the conversion of an open gate base into a closed structure with the installation of a technological archway or a cross beam above the passage.

To open the heaviest metal systems with hinged doors without using an electromechanical drive, the effort of just one person is enough, while it is much more difficult to open or move sliding structures without using a standard electric drive.

Norms and specifications for swing metal systems

To ensure reliable locking and blocking the passage, it is necessary to install with a massive frame or pillars, and most importantly - with a large number of steel load-bearing elements that ensure the strength of the main frame. This leads to an increased mass of metal swing gates and a huge load on the frame and hinges, in the first place.

In order to avoid a break in the suspension, sagging of the wings or an emergency in case of strong gusts of wind, GOST has established a requirement that all mechanisms and components of swing metal structures should be manufactured only according to design documentation and strength calculations of the manufacturer:

1. Hinges, canopies, inner frame, frame of swing metal gates must provide the necessary double margin of safety, while the quality of the technical solutions incorporated in the design must be confirmed by certificates of conformity of the standardization center and the sanitary and hygienic conclusion of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision for the product;
2. The quality of manufacture of metal swing gates is checked for the absence of metal surface defects visible to the naked eye, the compliance of welds with strength and continuity standards. The difference in the height or width of the gates of the opposite posts should not exceed 5 mm, the difference in the diagonals of metal leaves up to 2 m in size should fit into 3 mm, for large openings - 5 mm;
3. Paint and varnish coating with primer - not less than 0.03 mm, while the protective coating should not cause allergic reactions when in contact with the palms of the hands.

Note! In addition to the listed list, GOST prescribes to check the quality of seals, the condition and performance of locking mechanisms and hinges.

The resistance of hinged metal structures to impact loads from the wind is checked by the fall of the wings assembled on the frame under their own weight onto an indestructible object. Based on the results of the tests, the manufacturer issues a passport, and marks are applied in accordance with GOST. The coding indicates the VM model - metal gates, GOST number, product dimensions.

Features of the device of metal gates with swing wings

Each gate design has its drawbacks, and systems with swinging halves also have them. Using the principle of drop-down metal halves is very convenient for small openings of 2-2.5 m.

In the standard version of small passages, the design of the entrance gate is assembled in the same way as a metal garage door. In this case, hinges are welded onto steel vertical poles from a channel or I-beam and leaflets made of sheet metal 3-5 mm thick are hung. Due to the fact that the design of the wings turns out to be heavy, and there is no upper horizontal beam, as in metal garage doors, there is a risk of the pillars being skewed and the doors lowering. Stiffness problems can only be solved by installing very strong supporting pillars, steel, brick or reinforced concrete.

The wider the passage, the more the gate leaf will weigh, which means that it is more difficult to ensure a stable position and the absence of sagging of heavy leaves due to wear and bending of the hinges. In addition, the area of ​​​​the gate structure increases, which means that the windage and horizontal load from gusts of wind increase .

Therefore, for a passage with a width of more than three meters, special structures are used:

1. Wrought iron gates. Very beautiful and expensive forged bar designs with an individual style and artistic forging pattern;
2. Frame systems made of profiled sheet and tubular frame. Lightweight and inexpensive, available to make with your own hands;
3. The sashes are made in the form of two frames from a metal tubular profile with struts and spacers. The front surface is sewn up with a profiled sheet or panels.
4. Swinging aluminum gates. They have high rigidity and moderate weight of the structure, in contrast to the forged version, aluminum gates are always of the same type, they differ only in the front surface facing elements and the drive system.

Important! The safest was the purchase of swing metal gates from a specialized company or organization supplying finished products. Thus, it is possible to avoid most of the errors associated with incorrect calculation and manufacturing of the main elements, for example, installing hinges on the frame and leveling the supporting frame along the horizon.

Practical designs of swing gates

Each of these options, in fact, reflects a modern view of the main functions of the gate. Option one - protective and decorative functions characteristic of forged steel structures. The second one is a fast-acting and lightweight version of aluminum swing schemes, the third one is reliable and convenient, inherent in steel gates made of profiled sheet.

Forged swing gates

Best suited to protect access to a private area. The forged steel frame of the sashes is able to withstand the most serious load, significantly exceeding the standard 200 kg, defined by GOST as the base value. In the most expensive beautiful versions, all parts of the sashes are made forged, from the outer frame to the inner lintels and decor details. In cheaper metal versions, the main power elements, the sash frame and lintels are welded from an ordinary pipe, forged parts only complement the appearance.

Wrought-iron sash frames are hung on hinges to the embedded elements of brick pillars. The lower part is closed with sheet metal cladding, the upper part of the flaps can be completely open or have decorative inserts made of tinted polycarbonate.

In the manufacture of forged "vest" is much more complicated than conventional frame gates due to the large number of parts to be welded. To reduce the effect of thermal stresses and obtain a standard two-millimeter gap between the leaf and the stationary frame, metal gates are welded in the form of a single sheet, hinges are welded and hung on poles, and only after that they are cut into two leaves.

Aluminum swing gates

The second style is modern business, in which the doors open and close quickly, clearly, as far as possible when using modern drive mechanisms. For example, the stopping power of aluminum swing gates is not considered by the manufacturer as the main property, the quick and flawless operation of the device is much more important. Most often, aluminum frame swing and sliding structures are equipped with service parking lots and controlled areas of companies and firms. In addition to automatic hinged panels, the entrance mode is controlled by a security guard.

Gates are a classic example of a swing system. The design is made by argon welding of a profile with a section of 96x177 mm from high-purity aluminum. Each sash is suspended on a concrete pole using triple loops with an increased size of the supporting surface. To compensate for possible deformation, internal diagonal stretch marks from cables and a supporting "patch" that serves as a support and limiter of movement help.

The manufacturer of swing gates claims a device resource of 25-28 thousand operations, with a guarantee for the absence of corrosion for 15 years. The door leaf is made in the form of aluminum profile cladding or sandwich panels. The cost of the structure depends heavily on the width, for example, a 2000x3500 mm ADS400 system gate will cost a little more than 50 thousand rubles, a 2300x3500 mm door leaf is estimated at 75-77 thousand rubles, and 2300x5000 mm - all 90 thousand rubles.

Steel frame schemes

Frame metal doors made of pipes and profiled sheets can be called the most modern and practical option. Firstly, it is quite possible to assemble such a design with your own hands. Secondly, a steel frame made of a pipe is only slightly inferior in strength to forged gates. Thirdly, such metal gate systems will cost much less than aluminum and, especially, forged ones.

External cladding can be quite simply chosen from a huge number of colors of the profiled sheet. At the heart of the construction of frame options, the same technology is used as in the construction of a fence. The average weight of two wings of three-meter gates will not exceed 300 kg.

Conclusion

When choosing the size of swing metal gate structures, experts recommend being guided by the principle of sufficiency and expediency. For a site fenced with a metal profile fence or modular sections, a metal swing scheme made of aluminum or steel profile is perfect. For a stone fence, a wrought-iron scheme will definitely be the best choice. Thus, the style and durability of the gate will match the material and design of the fence.

• frame. If it is made from a profile pipe 40x20 mm with a wall width of 2 mm, the weight is 1 linear meter. m will be 1.7 kg. The perimeter of 2 gate leaves with a width of 3 m and a height of 2 m will be 12 m. Additionally, the leaves are reinforced with transverse beams (another 1.5 m for each). Thus, the total length of the profile pipe is 15 m, and the weight is 25.5 kg;
• sash filling. If 1.5 mm thick sheet steel is used for filling, its weight will be about 70 kg.

Thus, the total weight of metal hinged doors will be about 95.5 kg. It is also necessary to add the weight of locking fittings, decorative elements, etc. to it.

The design of supporting pillars, as well as the choice of hinges for swing gates and the method of their installation is determined in strict accordance with the weight of the leaves.

Construction of metal swing gates

The main structural elements for are:

• supporting pillars;
• sashes.

Support posts for metal swing gates can be made of metal or brick. Metal poles are made of a profile pipe, the cross section and wall thickness of which is at least not less than that of a profile pipe for sashes. During installation, the pillars must be concreted. Master Company engineers recommend that the foundation base go below the freezing depth. Pillars are installed (or laid out) strictly vertically. The building level is used for control. This is necessary in order to avoid distortion of the valves.

The design of the sashes necessarily has a frame frame. Additionally, it is reinforced with diagonal or horizontal beams.

Requirements for materials and accessories

• The materials of sashes, frames, support columns, as well as hinges, spring elements and locking mechanisms are selected taking into account operational and wind loads. The combination of materials and components must take into account the total weight of the leaves and ensure the strength, rigidity and stability of the geometric parameters of the structure.
• Metal structural elements must be protected from corrosion.
• If a polymer coating is applied to the metal, it must first be coated with a primer.
• The thickness of the polymer coating should be more than 30 microns.
• If the metal is painted with paints and varnishes, the coating must comply with GOST 9.401.
• The glazing of the sashes can be carried out using laminated or tempered glass, glass made from polymeric materials or double-glazed windows.
• Fittings and locking elements are selected in accordance with the weight and size characteristics of the structure. They must be protected from corrosion.
