FINISH

  • We use automotive paint to coat our doors.
  • Galvanize spray is used to help provide greater protection against corrosion for the iron base.  Primer and automotive paint is applied after the galvanizing spray process.
  • Because all of our products are hand made and painted, color may differ a little from the photo. This ensures each order is one of a kind.

Featuring vertical iron bars and a singular focal point, Pinky's Iron Doors Blackbird entry double iron door stands out visually and offers dual 5/8" tempered glass panes that provide security and enhanced air circulation on hot evenings.

The Blackbird is constructed from 12 gauge material, higher than the industry standard. The 2" thick doors include a steel threshold and bullet hinges with pre-installed grease fittings on the frame. For easy installation, tabs with pre-drilled holes are welded on the jamb. For maximum efficiency, the 5/8" double-pane operable glass has dual seals to reduce heat and air leakage. In addition, the frames include Polyurethane dual foam weather stripping to impede temperature transfer. To defend against sound, light, drafts, insects, moisture, smoke or fire, each frame comes with a door sweep, placed at the base of the door to plug up any gaps.

JAMB

  • Jamb is included and packaged separately from the door. 
  • Jamb is constructed with 12 gauge tube (above industry standard).   

Polyurethane Foam Core is filled in the jamb for greater insulation. 

Threshold: Steel threshold is included and it comes welded on the jamb.

In Swing Threshold:

  • Thickness or height from the back interior side:  1 1/8”
  • Thickness or height from the front exterior side: 1/2”
  • Width or Depth:  6” 

 

Out Swing Threshold:

  • Thickness or height from the back interior side:  1 1/4”
  • Thickness or height from the front exterior side: 1/2”

Brackets:  Tabs come welded on jamb with pre drilled holes to allow for easy installation.

Hinges: Steel weld on bullet hinges with grease fittings come welded on jamb and door.  Allows customers to comfortably open our doors, but yet feel that quality with each and every use.  We use welded steel bullet hinge with copper crush washer instead of a ball bearing hinge because ball bearings are made out of stainless steel (hard material) and the hinges/doors are made out of steel (softer material) which over time causes the hinge to wear. With copper crush washers, the washer is the soft point and they are easily replaceable over time if needed. 

 

BORE HOLE - LOCK SPEC

If you choose to purchase your hardware/lockset from a third party vendor, please make sure to provide them with the following specifications to ensure that your desired lockset will be compatible with our doors.

Bore hole size: 2 1/8”
Back set: 2 3/4”
Center to center: 5 1/2”
Door thickness: 2”
  • In stock single doors come with two pre drilled bore holes (one active lock needed) unless if otherwise specified.
  • In stock double doors come with two pre drilled bore holes on each door (one active lock and one dummy lock needed) unless if otherwise specified.
  • Locks purchased from PINKYS do not come installed on door upon delivery or shipment.  The reason for this is that it may get damage during the delivery or shipment process.  The installer will need to install the lock after the door installation is complete.

Bore Hole: 

A bore hole is the doorknob hole  that is drilled on the face of the door with a hole saw.  The hole is drilled halfway through from each side.  The hole saw is also used to drill the cross bore otherwise known as the latch hole.  Both doorknob hole and latch holes come completed and drilled with every in stock order to help your installer install the lock at ease.

Center to Center:

The vertical distance measured between the center-points of the two bore holes.  In other words, it is the measurement from the middle of the top bore hole to the middle of the bottom bore hole.  This measurement is used to determine where a bore for the deadbolt is located above the bore for the latch.  This information is important to help our customers purchase the correct compatible lock if you choose to purchase them from an outside hardware store.  We have already done the homework for you by specifying the PINKYS locks that are compatible with your door if you choose to purchase the locks from PINKYS.

Back Set:

The backset is the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the 2-1/8” bore hole.  The back set measurement is important to help our customers purchase the correct compatible lock with the correct latch size.  We have already done the homework for you by specifying the PINKYS locks that are compatible with your door if you choose to purchase the locks from PINKYS.  Our customers do not have to purchase the locks from PINKYS, you may purchase the locks from any local hardware store of your liking.

IMPORTANT NOTE
the design of the door may alter or change to accommodate for the screen (most common example will be that of the designs with knuckles).

HOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE MEASURED

Our sizes are measured from outside of jamb to the outside of the jamb. For example, a 72” x 96” door listed on our website means that 72” is the width from outside to outside of jamb (not the actual width size of the door) and 96” is the height from outside of jamb to bottom of our built in steel threshold (not the actual height of the door).

We recommend the rough opening of the WIDTH to be 1/2” to 1” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

We recommend the rough opening of the HEIGHT to be 1/2” to 1” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

ROUGH OPENING

Our sizes are measured from outside of jamb to the outside of the jamb. For example, a 72” x 96” iron door listed on our website means that 72” is the width from outside to outside of jamb (not the actual width size of the door) and 96” is the height from outside of jamb to bottom of our built in threshold (not the actual height of the door)

We recommend the rough opening of the WIDTH to be 1/2” to 1” wider than the door size ordered to give the installer enough room to comfortably position the jamb into place and have enough room to make sure the jamb is leveled.

Everything You Need to Know About Door Swing Direction

Most people don’t think about which direction their door swings. Opening a door is second nature, with the swing only coming into play if you push or pull and the door doesn’t open.

But the swing is important if you need to buy a new door, lever, or hinge. If you don’t know your door’s swinging direction, you could end up making a wrong purchase.

Here, PINKYS explains the different types of door swing and how you can determine whether your door is right-handed or left-handed.

The Types of Door Swing

Before we get into how to determine a door's swing, we need to know the types of swing.

Standard Doors

There are usually four ways a standard door can swing:

  • Left-hand inswing (LHI)
  • Left-hand outswing (LHO)
  • Right-hand inswing(RHI)
  • Right-hand outswing (RHO)

There's also the possibility that your door has a 180-degree swing. That's common with internal doors, giving you the ability to push or pull the door to open it from either direction.

Pivot Doors

Pivot doors differ from standard doors in one crucial aspect:

They have hinges on the top and bottom instead of on one of the sides.

They still open and close similarly to standard doors. You just have a little extra work to do when determining the hinge location.

A pivot door's swing direction can be one of two options:

  • Swing inside
  • Swing outside

These doors can also swing at a 180-degree angle. But with pivot doors, that means the door can stand parallel to a wall when fully opened rather than swinging 90 degrees in either direction.

How to Determine Door Swing Direction

Now that you know the differences between the different types of doors, it's time to determine the swing.

Why do you need to know this?

If you have an inswing door, trying to install an outswing door in its frame won't get you very far. You'll have to change the hinges, making the installation more complicated.

Let's run through some steps to help you along.

Step 1 - Understand the Terminology

There are four key bits of jargon to understand when determining door swing:

Inswing Doors

You have an inswing door if you have to push the door to open it from the outside.

Outswing Doors

Outswing doors require you to pull them from the outside to open them.

Left-Hand Door

If the door's hinges are on the left side, you have a left-handed door.

Right-Hand Door

Check the door's right side. If you see hinges, you have a right-hand door.

Step 2 - Stand on the Outside of the Door When It's Closed

Start by standing on the outside of the door.

For an exterior door, this is the side facing the street. You go from the outside into the building.

For interior doors, think about which room you'd consider yourself to be entering. For example, you may enter the kitchen from the living room. Or, you may enter a bedroom from the hallway.

Step 3 - Check Whether It's an Inswing or Outswing Door

Open the door from the outside. If you had to pull the door open, you have an outswing door. If you push the door past its opening to get in the room, you have an outswing door.

Step 4 - Check the Hinges

There's another way to see if a door is inswing or outswing.

Look along the door frame for the hinges. If you can see them standing from the outside, you have an outswing door.

If you can't see them, the door opens inwards, meaning you have an inswing door. Note that some doors can have hidden hinges.

Step 5 - Check What Side of the Door the Hinges Are On

Checking the hinges is the easiest step.

You have a right-handed door if the hinges are on the right-hand side. If they're on the left, the door is left-handed. Door knobs don’t factor into this test, though you’ll usually find them on the opposite side of the hinges.

Step 6 - Conduct a Handedness Test

Now, you get into the weeds of the terminology. You're going to figure out how the swing and handedness combine to tell you what kind of door you have.

Start by standing outside and close the door. For example, those testing a bedroom door will stand in the hallway facing the door.

Turn your back to the hinges and grab the knob with whichever hand doesn't have to reach across your body to grab it.

Then, open the door.

When you're using your right hand and don't have to move out of the way to open the door, you have a right-handed inswing door.

What if you had to step back while opening the door with your right hand? That means you have a right-handed outswing door.

If you used your left hand and had to step back, you have a left-handed outswing door.

If you didn't have to move while using your left hand, you've got a left-handed inswing door.

Always double check because the simplest mistake in door handing can lead to you buying the wrong door.

Find the Correct Door

You need to know your door's swing direction if you're buying a new door. You'll also need to know it when buying door levers. Your door's swing tells you which door handing you need, which is the direction a traditional door lever has to point when installed.

Weather Stripping

Dual foam weather stripping is included and comes installed around the door frame.  Designs with operable glass will have dual sealing around the glass.  The purpose is to help reduce air infiltration and water penetration.  The dual sealing around the glass allows for weather stripping on both sides of the glass.  The seal around the door frames help to reduce the leakage of air and heat, resulting in a much more energy efficient product for our customers.   

Window Stripping

 

Foam

Polyurethane foam core is filled in door frame and jamb to help reduce heat and cold weather transfer through the door.  It also helps to reduce outside sound transfer through the door.
