In this video I show how to make a custom steel door for my shop using a CNC plasma table. Check out!!! Pferd - www.pferd.com/us-en/ Avid CNC - www.avidcnc.com/
I don't think a lot of folks understand what the purpose of this door is. It symbolizes his ability as a craftsman and serves as a 'showroom' piece for potential customers. Amazing work!
Pretty awesome build. This door turned out very unique and most importantly BadAss and very strong. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work Paul. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.
The door is an incredible act of metalworking. Absolutely beautiful strong and well-built, very good job. The problems I see is I could cut the padlock off with an angle grinder in 5 seconds and get in. The other problem is I can open up the siding with a nut driver or can opener and get in. But it is a good representation of the work you can do in your metalworking shop. A good job.
The overhead door right next to it is an easy target as well. I'm more curious about what the fire marshal has to say. Around here the pad lock to lock the door would be a huge nono as you could be "locked in".
All of the above, also how the entire mechanism is on the outside as opposed to inside where it’s protected from being dismantled for access but i guess it wouldn’t be as much of a “showcase piece” if you couldn’t see it from the outside.
Beautiful door ! I agree with some of the comments regarding security issues and wonder why nothing was done to make it more secure? A cordless grinder and zip disc has the door open in seconds but I guess alarms take care of that...?
Only problem is that you cannot lock it from inside, and it uses a heavy duty extreme padlock which btw can be cut with bolt cutters(has been proven, doesn't matter why type of steel the padlock is made out of or rated for). Otherwise great build.
What beast! And the door is pretty monster too! 🤣 Paul this door is really incredible. 👍👍What did you use to keep it from rusting, or are you going to let it rust?
JUST FROM THE PIC I EXPECTED A FANCIER LOCKING SYSTEM, LOVE THE SPUD WRENCH AND THE BOLT HEADS, BUT NOBODY CAN SAY ITS NOT GONNA BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR DAAMN SURE, GOOD BUILD FOR MY FIST VIDEO WITH YALL
thats bad ass man. What are your plans for the finish? My vote is just keep a coat of oil on it to prevent rust, i've been constantly let down by clearcoat
I have to ask. *That* door in a wall you could almost walk through? And right next to an up-and-over? And it appears to be designed to stop people getting out, not in.
i wonder what someone would charge to build a door like that. i have been looking for a saferoom door but not looking for any locks from the outside. Only looking to lock it manually from the inside. The door will always remain unlocked unless the need for the saferoom and then it is locked from the inside. Only needs to have a welded door handle on the outside for pulling it open and to close flush.
14:30 ASMR for metal fans. To everyone commenting about the security of this door.... You are missing the point. The rest of the building is thin corrugated steel, would be much easier to break in anywhere else.
Very strong Walt door but what is the use. Weak shed and strong door. BTW, good job. What a thief need is a battery angle grinder to cut the small lock.
Serious question for the sake of common sense... It appeared that the door was being installed on the outside of that warehouse. The question is why go through all of the trouble when everything around it is thin sheet metal and Styrofoam? If someone wants in, they could rip a hole straight through the wall in a few seconds... Or just drive up with a truck and rip that door off with ease...
why? if I wanted to break in there I would just remove screws on tin walls to break in my Dad build iron door for a jeweler in 1976, thiefs came in and broke on through the ceiling cause they could find another way to break in
