How do I purchase an electric sliding door? Saint Shield will teach you the correct way to choose one.

For beginners who are purchasing an electric telescopic door for the first time, they are completely at a loss and don't know how to make a purchase. Let's explain to you the correct way to choose an electric telescopic door!

1. Door row spacing

In today's increasingly competitive telescopic door market, some manufacturers, in order to reduce product costs, have increased the spacing between the door rows by themselves, which is far beyond the industry standard. Generally, the price of a telescopic door is calculated by the meter, so most users only pay attention to the total length of the telescopic door, but ignore the door row spacing. The basic feature of a telescopic door is that it can expand and contract, that is, the door row spacing can be large or small. When the spacing is increased, the cost naturally decreases.

2. Sliding structure

The sliding of the long inclined bar telescopic door is divided into single sliding and double sliding:

Single sliding: There is a fixed point and a sliding point between the inclined bar and the main straight bar. Double sliding: There is a fixed point and two sliding points between the inclined bar and the main straight bar. Most telescopic doors were single sliding structure in the early days. After a long period of operation, most telescopic doors have experienced problems such as loosening or even disintegration of the door body. Therefore, manufacturers who value product quality have changed it to a double sliding structure, although it increases some costs, it effectively solves this defect.

Double sliding structure, the product is more stable

3. Grid structure of the inclined bar

The inclined bar structure of the telescopic door determines the overallity and straightness of the telescopic door. The more inclined bars passing through the main straight bar, the better the overallity and straightness (you can also judge by the number of grids formed by the inclined bars between each span of the main straight bar, the more grids are better).

4. After opening, the size of the gap above and below the inclined bar When the telescopic door is expanded, the inclined bar will gradually tilt. After fully extending, there will be gaps above and below the inclined bar. The larger the gap above, the easier it is to jump over, and the larger the gap below, the easier small animals can pass through. Some manufacturers, in order to save materials, have increased the gap above and below themselves, losing some functions of the door.

5. Electroplating material

Most telescopic doors use electroplating and oxidation as surface treatment methods for the aluminum profiles. After electroplating treatment, the material surface can be smooth and shiny for a long time and will not fade.

There are some processes that can achieve a smooth and shiny effect in a short time, but these treatment methods gradually lose their original effect over time. When identifying, we can look at the previous telescopic door projects installed by the company to see if the brightness of the material is still the same.
