    • CHAPTER TWO
      2.0    ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE AND CHOICE OF BEST ALTERNATIVE
          Based on the improvement and urge, to increase mans comfort, As an Engineer in training learning of the design alternative for making door to meet up with the present demand which gives a long life span and adequate security for life and properties is done. The best alternative choices of doors to metal panel door are listed and discuss below.
      i.    Glass door
      ii.    Aluminum door
      iii.    Timber/wooden door
      iv.    Bat wing door
      v.    Dutch door
      GLASS DOOR: Glass is usually provided for door and windows, mostly for paneling. However if the owner so desire, door can made out of glass for specific location.
      Normally such doors are mainly provided at the backyard or backside of the house as it is unobstructed view of the backyard. Front doors made of glasses are equally beautiful, but care should be taken to ensure both privacy and durability. The doors made of glasses are mostly heavy and costly compare to its counterpart.
      ALUMINUM DOOR: Aluminum doors as implies is a types of doors that are made out of aluminum. Aluminum is a metal which has been put to large numbers of uses due to being light in weight. Aluminum frame have distinct advantage of resisting difficult environment conditions. The main advantage of aluminum door is that it is not heavy but light in weight, being light in weight they transfer less loads to the foundations. Aluminum frame are not affected by Termite and such door last very longer
      DUTCH DOOR OF STABLE DOOR:  This types of doors  is divide into half horizontally, traditionally the top half can be opened and allow a horse or other animal to fed, while the button half remain closed to keep the animal inside. This style of door has been adapted for home.
          BAT WING DOOR: A bat wing door which is also known as saloon doors are a pair of light weight swing door often found in public bars  and especially associated with the American west saloon door also know as café doors often use bi-directional hinges  which close the door regardless of which direction it is opened be incorporating springs
          WOODEN DOOR: These types of door are made as a means of entrance and exit, also for security of lives and properties.
      Aluminum Door is the best alternative in the sense that it has great advantages over others.
      For instance glass metal panel door  cannot be used in an area where many children are living in the course of playing they may throw stone and break it door play football which can then hit the door and break or make it to get damage completely. So if care is not taking they may even make use of the pieces to harm themselves which has no impact on aluminum door.
      The choice of best alternative to metal panel door is an Aluminum door.
      2.10    TYPES OF DOOR MECHANISM
          The main types of door mechanism.
          Hinged doors: most door are hinged along on side to allow the door to pivot away from the door war in one direction but not in the other. The axis of rotation is usually vertical. In some cases, such as hinged garage doors, the axis may be horizontal above the opening.
      Door can be hinged so that the axis of rotation is not in the plane of the door to reduce the space required on the side to which the door opens. This requires a mechanism so that the axis of rotation is one side other than that in which the door open’s. This is sometimes the case in trains, such as for sliding door to toilet, which opens inward.

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONE1.0    INTRODUCTIONMany years ago, different types of doors were in use, which includes doors made of woods or grasses. These doors were made to meet the purpose of security to both life and properties. It was later discovered that doors made of wood do not last longer. They have short life span and they can easily get burnt. More so, considering the rate at which armed robbers break into houses in our society, one would regret that wooden doors and grass doors gave them the chance ... Continue reading---
