Gerda residential doors
Gerda Optima 60 Entrance Doors
Optima 60 is the 60 mm range in the Gerda residential collection. The leaf sits in an Alutherm 60 aluminium frame and is secured by the Gerda ZW 2000 main lock with a second three bolt lock above it.
It is offered in 44 designs across three series: the contemporary Tempo designs, the traditional Classic panel doors, and the Hawkstone from the Elite 3D series. SteelR supplies and installs the range.

The RC grade (2 or 3 under EN 1627) depends on door size and design. Gerda offers RC3 as a package on solid doors, so the grade is confirmed for your chosen design at quotation. Heights exclude the 27 mm sill and any extensions, and include the low threshold. Sizes are made in 10 mm increments; the available width and height depend on the design and colour. Sound insulation is taken from Gerda's declaration of performance for Optima 60.
How it is built
A 60 mm leaf with a main lock and a second lock above it
The Optima 60 specification, as set out in the UK range brochure. The doors are made at Gerda's plant in Starachowice, Poland.
- Leaf construction
- Gerda describes the Optima leaf as steel. It is 60 mm thick, on a timber inner frame, with an expanded graphite polystyrene core.
- Main lock
- A 3-bolt class 7 Gerda ZW 2000 main lock.
- Additional lock
- A 3-bolt class 6 Gerda ZW 500 additional lock, set above the main lock.
- Auxiliary lock and vertical bolt
- A 2-bolt auxiliary lock and an anti-burglary vertical bolt, both driven by the main lock.
- Cylinders and keys
- Class 6 lock cylinders on a single key system, so one key operates both the main and additional lock.
- Hinges
- Adjustable in two planes, with caps that match the hardware colour, and three hinge guards on the hinge side.
- Frame and seals
- An Alutherm 60 aluminium frame. The door is rebated on three sides, meaning leaf and frame overlap in a stepped edge. An adjustable keep, the plate the lock engages in the frame, sets how firmly the leaf closes against the seals.
- Threshold
- A low aluminium threshold as standard.

Questions
Gerda Optima 60: common questions
What is the U-value of the Gerda Optima 60?
The range brochure gives a Ud of 1.0 W/m²K for a solid Optima 60 door and 1.3 W/m²K for a glazed one. Ud is the heat loss figure for the whole door, and a lower number means less heat lost.
What security rating does the Gerda Optima 60 have?
Optima 60 is rated RC2 or RC3 under the European burglary resistance standard EN 1627. Which of the two grades applies depends on the door size and design. The door has a 3-bolt class 7 Gerda ZW 2000 main lock, a 3-bolt class 6 Gerda ZW 500 additional lock, a 2-bolt auxiliary lock, an anti-burglary vertical bolt and three hinge guards.
What sizes does the Gerda Optima 60 come in?
Tempo and Elite 3D designs are made from 840 to 1130 mm wide and 1950 to 2200 mm high. Classic designs are made from 920 to 1030 mm wide and 1950 to 2100 mm high. Sizes step in 10 mm increments, and the maximum height also depends on the colour. Side lights and top lights extend the opening.
How is Optima 60 different from Thermo Premium 75?
Both share the same Gerda ZW 2000 locking and the same RC2 or RC3 rating. Thermo Premium 75 has a thicker 75 mm leaf with a thermal break, a four sided rebate and a lower Ud of 0.8 W/m²K against 1.0 W/m²K for Optima 60. Optima 60 is the range that carries the Classic panel designs.
