Steel doors rust?
Short answer, yes. All types of doors do aging: such as wood, aluminum, fiberglass, or steel. But steel is by far the longest-lasting. Steel alone without protection lasts 50 years. Bondo, primer, and automotive paint are applied to protect the steel. For more demanding customers, Rhino has the stainless steel option available.
What are the options if my concern is rust?
If the bondo, primer, and automotive paint that are applied to protect the steel, is not enough for you or your client, Rhino offers zinc coating to expand the life of the steel. But if you want to go to the next level, Rhino has the stainless steel option available.
Is it single-pane or double-pane glass?
Rhino offers single pane only for interior doors, but can be on the exterior doors if you request it. The Rhino standard for exterior doors is insulated (dual pane) tempered glass. If required Rhino also offers impact-resistant laminated glass which gives climate improvement plus more security and noise reduction, than standard dual pane glass.
What gauge of steel is used in Rhino Steel Doors?
Rhino’s standard structural design for fabricating doors primarily includes 14 gauge steel frames filled with insulation foam. This structure controls heat flow, helps to prevent condensation, and reduces noise from the outside. Depending on the design, the door may also incorporate 16 and 18-gauge steel in certain parts, and internally, to add structure to the body of the door. Compared with typical doors, when people see and use Rhino Steel Doors get that solid, strong, and uniquely built feel.
What happens if the glass gets broken?

A local glass shop would be able to replace the glass of the door; Basically, he first needs to remove the glass holder frame in the interior part of the door by unbolting the screws covered by the plugs, and then removing the glass. Remember, this needs to be made by a glass professional.
