Product Details
DERCHI’s 36 x 80 assembly uses a polyamide-barrier thermal break that separates interior and exterior aluminum, cutting heat transfer. The slab can be fitted with insulated tempered glass or solid aluminum panels, sealed with multi-layer EPDM gaskets to resist water and air leakage. Reinforced profiles and a multi-point lock system deliver structural rigidity and secure closure.
Compared with traditional steel or wood doors, the all-aluminum design resists corrosion and needs little upkeep. Dimensions, glazing, and finishes are specified per project, so the door adapts equally to new construction and retrofits. Supplementary options—smart lock readiness, heavy-duty hinges, impact-resistant glass—can be confirmed during the design phase.
Product Features
Consistent thermal performance: U-factor rated to 0.38 (with argon-filled double glazing) helps meet energy codes and lowers operating costs.
Multi-point security: A four-sided six-point lock reinforces the door leaf at multiple positions, offering far more resistance than a single deadbolt.
Rugged construction: Sash thicknesses of 3.0 mm and frame sections up to 5.0 mm (Hidden Hinge series) with tempered glass suit high-traffic entries.
Low-maintenance exterior: Powder-coated aluminum resists fading, cracking, and corrosion, even in coastal exposures, without needing repainting.
Acoustic control: Double insulated glass can reduce outdoor noise by up to 35 dB, creating quieter interiors.
Weather tightness: EPDM triple seals achieve water tightness up to 700 Pa and air tightness of 1.2 m³/(m·h), blocking drafts and moisture.
Customizable Styles
Glass: Clear, tinted, frosted, or laminated; Low-E coatings and argon fill are selectable for better thermal control.
Frame colors: Powder-coated RAL shades, wood-grain effects, or anodized surfaces can match architectural specifications.
Panel designs: Flat, raised, stile-and-rail panels, or full-glass inserts make it possible to achieve both modern and traditional looks.
Opening direction: Left or right hand, inswing or outswing, decided by site layout and accessibility needs.
Size adaptation: Slab and frame dimensions are engineered from rough opening measurements and structural review.
Hardware Accessories
Multi-point lock system: Configure three- or four-point locks with deadbolts from partner brands WEHAG, HOPO, or VBH.
Heavy-duty hinges: Stainless steel or concealed hinges rated for frequent operation keep the door swinging smoothly over years.
Smart lock ready: Provisions for electronic deadbolts can be incorporated; discuss compatible models with DERCHI at the design stage.
Custom handles: Lever handles, pull bars, and grip sets are available in satin stainless, black, or bronze finishes.
Door closers: Surface-mounted or concealed closers control closing speed and help maintain the weather seals.
Basic Parameters
Performance Item | Available Information | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
Thermal Insulation | U-Factor up to 0.38 (W-Z3 series reference) | Final U-Factor depends on glazing and panel; request NFRC test for the actual configuration. |
Wind Pressure Resistance | 5 kPa (W-Z3 series) | Confirm suitability for local wind zones; higher ratings may be available after design review. |
Water Tightness | 700 Pa (W-Z3 series) | Values can shift with door assembly; verify for exposed conditions. |
Air Tightness | 1.2 m³/(m·h) (W-Z3 series) | Laboratory measurement; check project-specific test data. |
Sound Insulation | 35 dB (W-Z3 series with 8mm+21A+8mm glass) | Performance varies with glass thickness; request acoustic test for chosen makeup. |

FAQ
What is a 36 x 80 entry door?
It's an aluminum front door nominally 36 inches wide by 80 inches tall, built with a thermal break to improve insulation. You can choose insulated glass or solid panels, multi-point locks, and various hardware for residential or light commercial use. Exact dimensions are customized per project.
Where can this door be used?
It suits entryways in houses, apartments, villas, hotels, and offices. Aluminum’s corrosion resistance makes it an option for coastal areas, though weather ratings should be verified for fully exposed openings.
Can I customize the design?
Yes. DERCHI tailors dimensions, glass type, panel style, color finish, opening direction, and hardware set to meet your architectural and performance requirements.
What information is needed for a quote?
Provide door size, glass or panel preference, target U-Factor, wind load, quantity, destination, and any certification needs. We prepare a project-based quotation with lead time.
Can this be used for B2B projects?
Absolutely. We supply builders, contractors, and distributors with wholesale pricing, OEM options, technical documents, and export shipment for bulk orders.
Are technical documents available?
Shop drawings, installation instructions, and performance reports can be supplied after design finalization. NFRC data is available for specific configurations.
What should buyers confirm before ordering?
Confirm final size, rough opening dimensions, applicable building codes, required certifications, and hardware compatibility with the local market.
How do I confirm certification, packaging, shipping, or compliance details?
Certifications like CE or NFRC are verified per configuration. Export packaging uses plywood crates; shipping terms (FOB, CIF, DDP) and transport method are agreed at quotation.
