Steel door frame section

[fatfranky]

I'm about to commence the build of my new garage/workshop, amongst other things I would like a personnel door but would like it to be very secure so would like to manufacture the door from box section steel.

The problem is the door frame, whilst i can make it from box section and attach some form of slam mould (either wood or smaller box section) or by welding 2 box sections together does anyone know if you can buy steel door frame section in the uk?

I've seen it in Australia (i believe one of the reasons they use it is that termites burrow into wooden ones) but am unsure if it's available in the UK

Any Ideas?

Thanks in anticipation

I bought a brand new personnel door and electric roller shutter door from a Co in Manchester. The Side door was 150, blind hinges, anti bar, special keys. Roller shutter was made to my measurements. Very happy nice Guy who runs it.

I did think about building the side door, but time materials etc, it was one time I was happy to buy a built one
I can supply contact details if you wish

Hi Shox that would be great, though i suspect that the cost may be more than i want to pay I might get a pleasant surprise.

Best Regards

They are called 1st Security. The Guys name is John, Tell him Dave from Goole put you on to him.

The doors are new but have water damaged packaging, mine was A1. Grey Powder coated.

Whenever i make security doors, they have an angle frame. Usually about 70x70.

My garage door frame is 50mm square box and the door is a steel clad 2-hour plant room fire door - the door and frame took 3 people to move.

We made one from 75mm angle to fit inside the reveal and made the door from steel checker plate. It was for a friend's unit which had a normal rear door which backed onto fields and was always getting broken in to. We left the old door on the outside and fitted the new door to the inside so they wasted time breaking in the old door to be faced with the solid steel one. He was there another 4 years and never got done again.
