Esenler Steel Doors: Survey, Manufacture, Installation

Esenler packs more than 419,000 residents into just 19 square kilometres, making it one of the most densely built districts in Istanbul. Davutpaşa and Oruçreis, at the southern edge, hold the coach station and an industrial zone, while Menderes, Tuna and Fevzi Çakmak are solid residential ground. Years of urban renewal have split the building stock in two: new blocks going up on one side of a street, older apartments from an earlier decade still standing on the other.

What fails on a steel door, and why

A door usually gets changed because something has failed: the leaf catches on the frame, the bolt misses its keep, noise from the landing carries inside. All three trace back to the installation or to the material. The rows below put the symptom beside what we do about the same item, with the values from the technical table.

  • What turns up on site

    The frame was not built for the opening. Nothing shows in the first months. As the building settles, the leaf starts to catch on the frame and the bolt struggles to find its keep. Most winter calls that begin with "the door will not close" come down to this.

    How we handle it

    We measure at the address and the frame is built to that opening. Every model in the catalogue is made to measure, so we are not bedding a ready frame into the gap with foam.

  • What turns up on site

    The door skin is thin. Knock on the leaf and it rings hollow, and after a while the area under the handle and the line of the lock flexes inward. The finish then lifts along that flex.

    How we handle it

    The skin is the same across all four series: 2 mm Ereğli A1 steel door skin. The thickness does not drop on the entry model; the difference stays in the finish and the design.

  • What turns up on site

    The core is sparse, or there is none. Conversation on the landing carries into the home and the hall stays cold in winter. A hollow note instead of a solid one when the door shuts points at the core.

    How we handle it

    The leaf is filled with 150 kg/m³ rock wool core. The same core does the work for sound and for heat.

  • What turns up on site

    The lock holds at one point only. With the leaf fixed at the lock line alone, force pulls the door away from the frame, and the leaf flexes even where the bolt itself holds.

    How we handle it

    The lock ties the leaf to the frame at several points: Kale 256G 14-point lock. It is one of the four values that do not change between series.

Esenler Steel Door prices

A steel door in Esenler starts from $480. The figures do not part on the body: all four series carry 2 mm Ereğli A1 steel, 150 kg/m³ rock wool and Kale 256G lock. The difference sits in the finish, the measurement and the hardware. A net figure follows the on-site survey, in a written quote.

Every model carries 2 mm Ereğli A1 steel door skin, 150 kg/m³ rock wool, a Kale 256G 14-point lock and TSE EN 1627 certification as standard.

Every model carries the standard warranty; on upper-tier models it runs longer, depending on the material chosen.

The on-site survey and the installation are free within Istanbul. For an address outside Istanbul, please call our customer line.

The items that set the price

Four items move the price: the door frame measurement, the series chosen, the surface finish and hardware, and the work that turns up on site. If the door opening is not a standard one, the frame is made to measure. Taking out an old frame is discussed during the survey, not added afterwards.

  • Door frame measurement

    If the door opening is not a standard one, the frame is made to measure; material and labour follow from that.

  • Series and model

    All four series share the same body, the same insulation and the same lock; the difference sits in the surface finish, the design and the warranty period.

  • Surface finish and hardware

    The type of finish, the colour, the handle and any extra accessory are what move the quote most.

  • Work that comes up on site

    If the old frame has to come out or the measurement needs correcting, it is discussed during the survey and listed as a separate item in the quote.

Esenler Steel Door services

Sales and replacement work for Esenler sit on separate pages. Beside the model and price pages there are headings for apartment entrance doors, garden entrances, hingeless pivot doors and communal area fire doors. Each page sets out its own measurement, manufacture and installation sequence, so you can go straight to the one you need.

Every model, price and replacement page. If you are not sure which one to open, the selection guide below narrows it down.

What separates the series

The four series run through the same measurement, manufacture and installation sequence. Eko is for a first home or a rented apartment, Plus for home entrances that want a wider surface finish and colour choice, Pro for apartment building communal entrances and workplaces, Ultra for made-to-measure sizes and one-off design. The table sets that difference out row by row.

Why the building's age decides half the job in Esenler

How a villa door looks

Whether a block has already gone through renewal or not changes the measurement before anything else does.

Renewal blocks, ordered in bulk
New blocks carry a high number of flats and openings built to a single project size. We take the measurement floor by floor and plan the manufacture in one batch, matching the installation day with the management.
Narrow stairwell landings in the older stock
Around Menderes and Tuna the older apartments can have a tight stairwell landing. We measure the turn the leaf has to make as carefully as the frame opening itself.
Workplace entrances along Davutpaşa
Entrances near the coach station and the industrial zone see heavy daily use. The hinge count and the lock are chosen apart from a household order.

The measurement and the decision happen on site; the survey is free.

  • Free survey and installation within Istanbul

    The on-site survey and the installation are free within Istanbul.

  • Written warranty

    Every model carries a warranty as standard. On upper-tier models an extended warranty applies, depending on the material chosen.

  • We re-measure on site before fitting

    We do not simply take the measurement you send. Before fitting, our team comes to the address and measures the door opening again; the risk of a wrong measurement sits with us, not with you.

  • The net price comes in a written quote

    We do not quote a net price over the phone. After the survey, what will be done and what it costs is set out item by item in a written quote.

Photographs from the job

These were taken on site once the door was fitted, not in a studio: the floor is unfinished, the protective film is still on the threshold and nothing has been tidied. You can see how the frame meets the wall and where the architrave ends. No place name goes under them, because the address was never recorded.

  • Door, photographed in place after installation
  • Door once it was fitted
  • Door, sitting in its door frame

How to measure the door opening

A tape measure is all the door opening needs. Width from one inner face of the frame across to the other, height from the top of the threshold to the inner face of the frame head, then the wall thickness. Send those three figures and we can say over the phone which model fits your opening.

Four measurements, in order

  1. Measure inside the door frame at three heights

    Open the leaf fully, rest the tape against one inner face of the frame and read it off at the opposite inner face. Repeat near the top, at the middle and close to the floor; if the three differ, write down the smallest, because the leaf has to pass through that gap. The height runs from the top of the threshold to the inner face of the frame head.

  2. Keep the architrave edge separate

    The architrave is the frame that covers the joint between the door frame and the wall. Measure it from one outer edge to the other. That figure comes out larger than the one inside the frame: in the catalogue, models with an inside measurement of 90 x 200 cm have an architrave edge between 104 x 208 cm and 108 x 210 cm, and the difference is the width of the architrave itself.

  3. Write down the wall thickness

    On the side face of the opening, measure from the inner wall surface to the outer wall surface, and leave the architraves out of that figure. The depth of the frame is built to it, so we need it as much as the width and the height.

  4. Tell us how the floor will finish

    If parquet or ceramic tile is going in under the threshold, the measurement has to allow for the finished floor. A covering laid afterwards leaves the door catching along the bottom. Where the floor is not ready, we work out the clearance during the survey.

What to send us

  • Width and height inside the door frame, in centimetres.
  • Wall thickness, in centimetres.
  • Which way the door opens: hinges on the right or on the left.
  • A photograph of the opening if you have one, with the corner of the frame in shot.

Do not round the figures. Write the half centimetre too, because the frame is built to it.

All 163 models in the catalogue are made to measure. Of the 122 models with a listed measurement, 119 carry the same inside figure, so 90 x 200 cm is a common opening; outside it the model stays and the frame changes.

With the figures to hand, answer the first question in the selection guide

Esenler Steel Door selection guide

If you are unsure where to begin, start from the question: an apartment door, an apartment entrance door, or a house with a garden? If the door still stands but the lock, hinge or door frame is giving trouble, the replacement pages are right. For a new door, read the models first and prices after.

These four questions come up on the phone more than any others, before the on-site survey is even booked.

Does my door need replacing, or is a repair enough?
If the leaf and the door frame are sound, the trouble usually sits in the lock, the cylinder, a hinge or the strike plate, and those are changed on site. Once the frame has pulled away from the wall, or the leaf has bowed, a repair only buys time. We settle which it is at your address.
Is an apartment door the same thing as an apartment entrance door?
No. An apartment entrance door opens and shuts hundreds of times a day and works alongside a door closer and entry automation. On an apartment door what matters most is sound and heat insulation, together with the lock. The two are separate products and sit in separate price bands.
Can I take the measurement myself and send it to you?
It helps us picture the job, but it cannot stand in for the manufacturing measurement. The frame opening shifts with the plaster on the wall, the threshold level and the direction the door swings, and a wrong figure only shows itself on installation day. The on-site survey is ours to do.
How do I know which series to choose?
Where the door will stand decides the series. The table below maps the situations we meet most often to the page that covers each one.

Tick the three rows

We write out which price band and which models the three rows you tick come to, right below. Nothing is sent and the address of the page does not change.

1The measurement of your door opening
2Where the door will go
3Which band do you have in mind

Tick all three rows and the answer appears here.

The inner frame measurement on 119 of the models in the catalogue is 90 x 200 cm. If your opening is close to that, we carry on with the ready measurement.

The door frame is made to your own opening. Every model in the catalogue is made to measure, and we take the measurement at the on-site survey.

Neighbourhoods

We cover the whole of Esenler district and do not split it by neighbourhood. The list below names every neighbourhood in Esenler; we travel to all of them on the same terms. At the measurement appointment the team comes to your address and measures the door opening there; the model decision is made during that same visit.

Esenler Steel Doors: frequently asked

Which neighbourhoods of Esenler do you cover?

All 17 of them, from Davutpaşa and Oruçreis to Menderes, Tuna, Fevzi Çakmak and Birlik, and on to Atışalanı, Kemer and Namık Kemal. The address makes no difference to how the survey or the installation runs.

How many flats can you handle at once in a renewal block?

As many as the block needs. Frame openings in Esenler's newer blocks come to a single project size, so the measurement stage moves quickly. We prepare the manufacture in one batch and move through the installation floor by floor, agreeing the lift booking with the management first.

What happens if the door will not fit down an old stairwell?

We check for that at the survey. In the older apartments around Menderes and Tuna the landing can be narrow, so we measure the turning angle the leaf needs as well as the frame opening, and plan the leaf size around it where necessary.

Do you fit doors for workplaces near the coach station?

Yes. Entrances around Davutpaşa and Oruçreis take far heavier daily use than a household door, so the hinge count and the lock are chosen for that traffic rather than carried over from a standard residential order.

Do I have to decide on the spot at the survey?

No. We take the measurement, explain the suitable models and the price band on site, and leave a written quote. You can think it over and come back to us.

Is the survey free in Esenler?

Yes. The survey and the installation are both free anywhere inside Istanbul, Esenler included.

I own a flat here but I'm based abroad. Can the renewal block decision be handled in English?

Yes. We send the measurement and the written quote to the block management in Turkish and to you in English, so you are voting on the same figures as every other owner. Photographs on WhatsApp cover anything that needs a closer look before you reply.

What is the warranty?

Two years as standard, extending to three to five years on the upper series depending on the material. New doors fitted in a renewal block carry the same cover as any other; a repair on an older existing door sits under a separate scope.
