目前市场上[b]防盗门[/b]种类很多，按照公安部颁布标准GB25－92《防盗安全门通用技术条件》防盗门可分为栅栏式防盗门、实体门和复合门3种。 栅栏式防盗门就是平时较为常见的由钢管焊接而成的[b]防盗门[/b]，它的最大优点是通风、轻便、造型美观，且价格相对较低。该防盗门上半部为栅栏式钢管或钢盘，下半部为冷轧钢板，采用多锁点锁定，保证了[b]龙甲防盗门[/b]的防撬能力。但在防盗效果上不如封闭式防盗门。 实体门采用冷轧钢板挤压而成，门板全部为钢板，钢板的厚度多为12毫米和15毫米，耐冲击力强。门扇双层钢板内填充岩棉保温防火材料，具有防盗、防火、绝热、隔声等功能。一般实体式防盗门都安装有猫眼、门铃等设施。 复合式防盗门由实体门与栅栏式[b]龙甲防盗门[/b]组合而成，具有防盗和夏季防蝇蚊、通风纳凉和冬季保暖隔声的特点。 按照结构特点来分，主要有推拉式栅栏龙甲防盗门、平开式栅栏防盗门、塑料浮雕防盗门和多功能豪华[b]龙甲防盗门[/b]等几种类型。对一般的消费者来说，居民的防盗安全门主要就是平开式防盗安全门。平开门是目前市场上需求量最大的一种[b]防盗门[/b]。有些标准称这种门为分户门或进户门，表示这是区分室内室外的一道门。因此，其除了防盗外，还牵涉到保温、隔音、美观等诸多方面。平开门从形式上分为：普通平开门、门中门、子母门和复合门。普通平开门即为单扇开启的封闭门。门中门即有栅栏门和又有平开门的优点，它外门的部分为栅栏门，在栅栏门后有一扇小门，开启小门可作为栅栏门通风等用途，关闭小门作为平开门的作用。子母门一般用于家庭入户门框较大的住宅，即保证平时出入方便，也可让大的家具方便的搬入。复合门也称一框两门，前门为栅栏门，后门为封闭式平开门。

有的人每天早晨一起床就出现鼻子发痒，连续打喷嚏，最多可打十几个。也有的人每年春天和秋天就出现打喷嚏，流鼻涕伴眼痒、耳朵痒、上腭痒，有时鼻塞，严重时憋得喘不过气来，以上情况可能是患了[b]过敏性鼻炎[/b]，建议查找过敏原。近年来[b]过敏性鼻炎[/b]发病率有逐年增高的趋势，这可能与空气的污染及现代生活方式有关。如何[b]过敏性鼻炎治疗[/b]呢？除了呼吁社会对生活环境加以保护外，有些致敏原是我们自己可以避免的。例如，有些人搞居室装修，可能带来某些化学物质致敏；有人喜欢养宠物，动物身上易有尘螨聚集，尘螨是一种很强的致敏原，而且动物的皮毛、唾液、排泄物也都有致敏性。春秋季发病者，多数为花粉过敏引起。那些幼年时常患湿疹、荨麻疹、支气管哮喘等疾病的人，常常为过敏体质。这些人最好尽量少接触可致敏的物质。如果已经患了[b]过敏性鼻炎[/b]，应该到一些较大的医院去诊治。查清过敏原后尽量避免接触它。当然也可以进行[b]过敏性鼻炎的治疗[/b]，即把各种致敏同种类的浸液，低浓度小剂量的皮下注射，逐渐增加浓度及剂量。目前患者喜欢局部用药的较多。局部喷雾剂作用快、使用方便、副作用小。
