Hi, we are currently looking for the right company for our front door as part of our house construction.
It will be an aluminum door with a side panel.
We have now received several offers, and the prices are quite similar.
All have the same features and are RC2 rated.
The prices range from 6418 to 6870 euros.
So now the question is, which door manufacturer will be better for us in the long term?
Offer 1: 6870 euros for a Köster aluminum door.
Offer 2: 6604 euros for a Kompotherm door.
Offer 3: 6415 euros, also Kompotherm.
Offer 4: 6749 euros for an Adoro (Schüco???) door.
Offer 5: still waiting for an offer for a Hönig door.
All prices already include possible discounts.
There are some differences I don’t understand but noticed in the offers:
Offers 2 and 3 include an “automatic door threshold.” What is that?
Offer 1 has a construction depth of 88mm (3.5 inches).
Offer 2 has a panel thickness of 99mm (3.9 inches).
Are there major differences here?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much.
Regards

Another offer for an Inotherm door, same features, €5842 (about $6330) ... it’s just the only door that isn’t made in Germany.
I don’t like those typical swing hooks like on Inotherm doors at all. If you only lock it once, you can easily push them up/down without force, so the lock turns back and the door is no longer locked.
With the system like Köster’s AV3 locking mechanism, there is a bolt directly above it that prevents pushing it up/down in the first place.

derrenovierer13 Mar 2019 15:44A few years ago, we had an Inotherm door installed, and honestly, it’s simply not worth the money. The thermal and sound insulation is already quite poor. Recently, the inner glass pane broke because a dog ran into it (!), which in our view doesn’t count as “forceful damage,” and now that the doors are warped, we basically have to throw them away. Warranty and goodwill are, of course, foreign concepts for the Slovenians. This is truly expensive, so despite the high costs, we will install a Biffar door again like we did at our previous house. In the long run, that's definitely cheaper because you don’t hear anything from outside and the glass doesn’t break! The security features of Inotherm are also supposed to be great, with a solid frame—but what good is that if someone can easily reach through the glass in an emergency?
