Solid Core

A solid core is a pure form of a single material. Either 100% wood or 100% metal.

Density is high, hence it becomes heavy.

Gives a very bad insulation if steel is used.

DOOR - Types

Hollow Core

Core of wooden blocks are encompassed between ply boards.

This makes the weight of door lighter.

Cost is reduced.

Insulation is way better.

DOOR - Types

Hollow Core

The cores are made like honey-comb structure, either made of metal or compressed cardboard.

This is the most stable structure.

Good insulation.

Door components which interact among them but never with users except the BURGLAR


Problem Statement


The main door of the house is the primary interface between the people inside and outside.while the people inside and outside. While the people inside remains almost constant, thebehavior Of people reacting from outside varies a lot depending on the types of people andtheir relation With the house. Some of them are actual residents coming back fromschool / offices , some of them are Gas , milk , news paper suppliers ,some of them aremaintenance people even there may be burglars who may Try to break open the door.

Assume a condition where the people inside is an elderly couple ,where the gentleman is of75 yr. old ,already Undergone a cardiac pacemaker fixation ,having slight tremor in hands.But he is very active , goes for regular Physical exercise program, loves shopping and so on.He does a good number of house hold tasks to assist His wife. He was the manager ofpharmaceutical company and is on Pension now.

The lady is 68 yr old suffering from severe knee joint and wrist joint problems. Shecan work but with difficulty. She uses four legged walker while walking as a precautionarymeasure. Apart from these specific ailments general Age related ailments are alsoapplicable. She loves painting, music and photography.

Their two sons are married and well established but staying in different parts of the country.As a designer you have been asked to conceptualize the main door of the newly acquired flatBy the elderly in Powai region.

DESIGN SUGGESTION - #1 DOOR MATERIAL and STRUCTURE

Steel doors can easily be dented

Subject to paint chipping

When a steel door's finish becomes scratched, rust can form in the damaged area

Steel doors are also temperature-sensitive, becoming either hot or cold to the touchdepending on the ambient air temperature.





But,

DOOR MATERIALDOOR MATERIAL and STRUCTUREDESIGN SUGGESTION - #1





But, Wooden doors are aesthetically appealing, sturdy and practical, andcan be used as entry doors, exterior doors, garage doors and interiordoors.

DOOR MATERIAL and STRUCTUREDESIGN SUGGESTION - #1






Wood allows us to customize the look, stain, color and style of the doorin ways that metals or other material don't.







Wood allows us to customize the look, stain, color and style of the doorin ways that metals or other material don't.

wood is an excellent insulator on its own, meaning a wooden door canbe more solid and efficient.



Hollow Core Doors - consist of a frame that is covered on both faces with a thin veneer.



Solid timber strips run down its edges.




Between the two face veneers lie supports that provide the door rigidity.





Hollow core doors are further strengthened by different in-fills.






Hollow core doors are easy to install and cheaper and lighter than solid wood doors














Suggestion for the Structure of a Door















FRAMES , HINGES , FASTENERSDESIGN SUGGESTION - #2

Steel door frame


Longer metal frame at the side which comes in contact with frame


The addition of a metal peg or screw without a head helps secure the door incase the hinge pin is removed.

DESIGN SUGGESTION - #2

Fasteners inside the Strike-Plate adds on to additional security

A wrap-around strike plate fastened in two directions with offset screws is especially useful where there are sidelights that prevent the use of long fasteners.

FRAMES , HINGES , FASTENERS

LOCKDESIGN SUGGESTION - #3

Padlock Latch


In a spring-latch, the bolt (that is, the part of the lock that projects beyond the edge of the door) is spring-loaded and is activated when the handle is turned. The familiar key-in-knob locks, found on most doors, are this type.

Slipbolt or Spring-Latch Deadbolt

A deadbolt can only be activated by a key inserted into the cylinder. Because it is not bevelled or springloaded, the bolt cannot be pushed back into the lock


Single-cylinder deadbolts are operated by a key from the outside (or by pressing a combination of numbers on a keypad) and by a thumb-turn from the inside.


Double cylinder deadbolt locks that must be operated by a key from both sides are also sold as burglar-resistant locks. They are not permitted under

current codes because of their potential for restricting escape in a fire.


Double cylinder deadbolt locks that must be operated by a key from both sides are also sold as burglar-resistant locks. They are not permitted under

current codes because of their potential for restricting escape in a fire.


So Ideally the lock should be installed into the door and should not be a latch with lock as a padlock

And the height of the lock installation should be at a height of 51-54 cm from the ground







Space for Lock Render

LOCK

1) Brass Element alignment with key.

2) For eye contact, use of other hand for pulling the lock.

3) Status of lock before locking is not known.

4) After locking, always have to test by pulling the lock if it is locked or not.

5) Area for inserting is too small to be visible for a person of low visibility. Hence a person bends down to see the key hole.

6) No security features if broken once.

7) Biometrics is not appropriate.

8) Remote can be lost or broken.

9) Numbers are not too easy to remember, and still a chance of random number press by someone is there.

10) High tech locks might not fit well into everyone’s environment.
