I thought so too.. we had this discussion with Spyder many years ago.
I have always been bothered about leaking in the area that is being perforated/bent with Step tiles and Metcoppo.
And that is why I have always used 0.55 Long span in all my projects.
Although we can never agree on the effect of this in the long run...

Hajji M.

Rushtec:
Speaking from experience. I think u do see the tag " Roof leakage" around Lagos. Too much wind, rain and old age affect them. I recommend 0.45mm Longspand Only ( The manufacturer this days hav reduced the gauge due to cost) Just like the stone coated our pple called 0.55mm of the range u buy are not even up 0.43mm. If am lie, try contact the Chinese coy that made it. TheY tell de true, even gave 30yrs warranty. But our seller take it to 50yrs. Just to com petite with ( WICHTECH, BATLAN, FEROOF, ROSER, TILCOR AND METRO TILES) u MUST KNW WHAT U WANT

Actually, leakages that occur with step tiles and even Metcoppo products are caused by faulty corrugating machines. The fault is when the machines, for some reasons start to punch too hard when folding flat sheets into step forms.The affected punches will perforate the sheet on the curved point, creating small leaks. I had to remove my purchases from a good company which made them and took them to another aluminium company with a better corrugating machine twice.

If possible can you folks show samples of the two types?

I think two different types are being discussed here.

There are various designs but one from this site should serve the purpose I envision.

I just need the Nigerian door maker (I'm sure he'll call himself an Engineer wink ) to just design one of this bracket into the exterior doors of which I have three.

Then I am sure that ANY USA lock will install and work well with it.

Hi , this idea is inspirational , installing superior locks to made in nigeria doors , can i say that "this is a marriage made in heaven".
@ EgunMogaji and amanikondo i'm interested. will love to talk more about this.

I think that being confronted with an unfamiliar lock style will deter the opportunistic thief and he'll simply move onto easier targets.

Take my main gate for example. I used a Masterlock that I brought with me from US. When my site Foreman lost the key he was unable to defeat it. They used hammers, saws, etc and they had to resort to cutting the actual clasp on the gate to gain entry. He had nothing but good things to say about and asked me to get him a set of the locks.

And that was just a level 8. I intend to use a level 10 Masterlock when construction is completed because no one will have those keys.

I have used this bad boy in Naija. You better not loose the key. This one must be welded.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by amanikondo: 2:59am On Jan 29, 2016
Assa Abloy is the best lock I know. This one, you have to authorise the company to generate extra key for you.

Nice one, very nice. I'm pleased to see someone that is security minded like me. My Wife and I poured over this one at Home Depot but we couldn't figure out how it actually works unless we tear open the box.

I'm thinking you weld or bolt each piece to each half of the door. Am I right?

If I can figure out how it works I might get it.

Yes. But this is mostly used on iron doors. Some people even use it on a Cargo Van.

Nice one. Their quality is very good.

I went for traffic black.

I will upload some pics here soon.

Dieumerci:

Thanks for this info.
I was at their office today and decided to patronize them, though their prices are a bit higher than what I got from other places.
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by befto: 11:30am On Jan 29, 2016
I was charged 1420 for 0.55m Step tile.


mufutau55:


Please state it here, what prices they give you and for which type.
It will be very beneficial for those of us who cannot go there at present.
I have been looking at their site, but no prices or much info. Thanks.

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by befto: 11:39am On Jan 29, 2016
Their Sumo is of a very high quality. I got my step tile for 1420 0.55 last year. Metcopo was about 1550 (if I remember).
I dont know current prices but this was done in Oct/Nov last year.

mufutau55:


Thank you. Please do obtain their price list... want to see how much their Metcopo cost.
hope their aluminium is good quality too.. Also please ask for 0.55 step tiles and long span..
Thank you very much.
