It should be noted that metal doors are in demand around the world. And we are talking not only about developed countries, but also about small Asian, South American and African states. In this regard, manufacturers of metal entrance doors divorced a lot. Often it does not make sense to deliver a batch of doors to the stores of any country, as there already is a local manufacturer. Therefore, we decided to limit ourselves to Russian companies - the easiest way to get their doors in our country. The products of foreign firms in Russia are bought much less frequently, since it has an excessively high price tag with the same appearance and the same characteristics of resistance to a cracker.
