Industrial Hinged Steel Door: The New Hinged Design vs. Roll-Up and Sliding Doors

Industrial steel doors are crucial for facilities like factories, warehouses, and plants where large vehicles, equipment, goods and machinery need to pass through. These doors can reach sizes up to 6 meters (much larger than the standard 2-meter steel doors), posing challenges for both design and manufacturing. Due to the massive size, traditional hinged doors can struggle with stability and durability. To address this, industries have often turned to roll-up and sliding doors.

However, a new development in hinged industrial steel door technology is transforming this landscape.

Challenges of Large Hinged Doors

• Size and Weight: Traditional hinged doors face challenges in maintaining strength and stability at larger sizes. The larger the door, the heavier the door slab, which can lead to sagging or drooping over time.

• Hinges: Supporting these large doors requires super heavy-duty hinges, which could be costly and complex to design.

Innovative Hinged Steel Door Solution

Homein has developed a breakthrough in hinged steel door design. By introducing a large laser cutting and bending machine, it's now possible to manufacture larger hinged doors at a lower cost. Additionally, super-heavy duty hinges have been designed to support doors weighing up to 800kg, ensuring the stability of large door slabs without any droop. This innovation significantly enhances the feasibility of using large hinged doors in industrial settings.

Advantages Over Roll-Up and Sliding Doors

Compared to the alternatives—roll-up and sliding doors—the new hinged steel door offers distinct benefits:

1. Better Fireproof Performance
   Hinged doors can be designed with fire-resistant materials and provide a solid barrier, making them superior for fire protection in critical environments. This is harder to achieve with roll-up doors, which have seams and gaps, and sliding doors, which often require additional sealing mechanisms.

2. Enhanced Security
   The solid, fixed nature of hinged doors provides a higher level of security. Roll-up doors can be more vulnerable to unauthorized access, and sliding doors typically rely on complex locking mechanisms that may not offer the same level of security as a solid hinge system.

3. Superior Thermal Insulation
   Hinged doors can be designed with better insulation properties. They can be sealed tightly around the edges, minimizing heat loss or gain. Roll-up and sliding doors tend to be more challenging to insulate effectively, as the gaps and movement during operation can let air in.

Conclusion

While roll-up and sliding doors are often the go-to choices for large entryways, hinged industrial steel doors are proving to be a more secure, durable, and energy-efficient solution. With advancements in hinge technology and manufacturing capabilities, this option offers a cost-effective, high-performance solution for modern industrial buildings.
