    Advantages of Oil-Rubbed Bronze Finish

    PINKYS oil-rubbed bronze is a popular finish for doors, highly appreciated for its sleek and low-profile shine. This finish has many advantages, such as:

    • The coating has a dark, classic look that enhances the curb appeal without resorting to extravagant design elements.
    • Enhanced durability due to its tolerance to rust.
    • Oil-rubbed bronze windows and doors are designed to resist corrosion, rusting, and scratches.
    • Oil-rubbed bronze door levers retain a fresh appearance even with heavy use. 
    • The shine of the oil-rubbed bronze coating will remain unchanged for a long time after installation, unlike many average coatings.
    • Oil-rubbed bronze is also easy to clean and maintain, requiring only washing with mild detergents and periodic waxing.
    • Oil-rubbed bronze still remains one of the most popular finishes for iron doors, delivering a timeless appeal and evergreen style.

    Oil-Rubbed Bronze Doors

    The oil-rubbed bronze finish on the doors oozes a unique blend of modern style and traditional elegance. The coating gives them a solid look with enhanced visual depth in an espresso-shaded base shade. Meanwhile, gray, black, bronze, and brown undertones, in combination with oil treatment, deliver an industrial yet vintage feel. 

    This type of finish is often used to frame windows, doors, and entryways for both residential and commercial properties. It is resistant to decay and can stand up against the tests of time, giving it an incredibly long lifespan when cared for properly. 

    Many doors with an oil-rubbed bronze finish come in different styles, such as French doors with double doors or panel doors with several raised planks. These doors are also available in a variety of material combinations, including iron and fiberglass, to best suit the look you strive to achieve.

    When it comes to styles, at PINKYS we offer a variety of options for your new oil-rubbed bronze door.

    Good to Know About Oil-Rubbed Bronze Finish

    An aged bronze finish is a perfect choice when you're looking to add more character to your home decor. As it's used and exposed to environmental elements over time, its undertones become more visible. That way, your doors will gain more distinctive character over time, achieving a unique aged appeal.  

    However, if the vintage effect isn't what you seek – no reason to worry. For those wanting less of a weathered aesthetic, there are formulas designed to show no noticeable change over time.

    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”
    • Width or Depth:  6”

     

    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. 

     

    Please note that Xanthis and other Iron Door locks are not compatible with AIR 4, AIR 5, OR AIR 7 doors.
    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

    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.
