Before the renovation, I was not so comfortable with the water, electricity, doors and windows that the developer had done, but in the end I made up my mind to spend more money to replace them. When replacing the entrance door, I first looked for several owners upstairs and downstairs in the community. I wanted to ask what kind of entrance door they all picked. Everyone said it was an anti-theft door, but when you look at the door carefully It was discovered that some of them were anti-theft doors, while others were fire-proof doors. I can't help but wonder, both are entrance doors. What is the difference between the two? Should the entrance door installed by the developer be replaced with an anti-theft door or a fire door?
With this question, I found a shop that sells anti-theft doors. The shop owner explained that this problem seems simple, but many people don't understand it. Few owners now take the initiative to distinguish between these two types of doors. Everyone thinks that the entrance door just needs to be anti-theft. However, the current community is basically dominated by high-rise buildings, and the fire protection function is still very important. Everyone subconsciously thinks that the anti-theft door can also play a fire prevention effect.
In fact, the two types of doors are still different in function. The internal filling of the anti-theft door is full foaming agent and reinforced mesh, and the door lock uses a special anti-theft lock, so that the safety performance and sealing performance are strong, and the sound insulation effect is also Not bad. The filling material used in fire doors is perlite or other fireproof materials, which are mainly used for flame retardant and heat insulation, including door locks and cat eyes, which have fireproof functions.
In the case of fire or heavy smoke, the fire door can be opened quickly, and the anti-theft door may be deformed due to the high temperature, and cannot be opened quickly by the key, which increases the difficulty of escape. However, the store explained that the current anti-theft doors have both the functions of fire prevention and theft prevention at the same time, but that the level of fire prevention does not fully meet the standards of fire doors.
Compared with the two types of doors, fire doors are slightly more expensive than anti-theft doors. When choosing a door, it is recommended that you generally choose an anti-theft door with fire-proof function for the entrance door. Use fire-proof doors in bedrooms, kitchens and other areas, and the current fire-proof doors are highly beautiful, so there is no need to worry about affecting the style of home decoration.
