Oversized Doors | Warp-Free Door Cores | SingCore

About SingCore

SingCore manufactures a patented lightweight, warp-free door cores and oversized door slabs used by architects, millwork shops, and builders across North America.

As door designs continue to grow larger, traditional construction methods often struggle with weight, warping, and size limitations. Large solid wood doors can become extremely heavy and difficult to keep flat over time, especially as heights exceed eight or ten feet.

SingCore door cores allow fabricators to build larger, lighter, and more stable doors without the problems associated with conventional door construction.

Our technology makes it possible to produce oversized pivot doors, tall entry doors, and large flush doors that remain flat while weighing significantly less than traditional solid wood doors.

50-Year Warp-Free Guarantee

SingCore doors are backed by a 50-year warp-free guarantee, providing long-term confidence for architects, builders, and property owners.

Warping is one of the most common problems in large doors. As doors increase in size and weight, traditional construction becomes more susceptible to twisting, bowing, and structural movement.

SingCore door cores are designed specifically to maintain long-term stability, allowing large doors to remain flat and functional for decades.

No Maximum Door Size

Most door manufacturers impose strict limits on door dimensions. These limits are often driven by weight, structural stability, or hardware constraints.

SingCore removes those limitations.

Because SingCore door cores are lightweight and structurally stable, architects and millwork shops regularly use them to build doors that exceed the typical size restrictions found in traditional door manufacturing.

Common applications include:

• oversized pivot doors
• 19-foot doors and taller
• large entry doors
• wide pocket doors
• architectural flush doors
• custom interior doors

Instead of designing around limitations, architects can design doors that match the scale of the space.

Lightweight Oversized Doors

Large doors constructed from solid wood or traditional cores can weigh hundreds of pounds, placing enormous strain on hinges, pivot systems, and structural framing.

SingCore doors can weigh 50 to 70 percent less than comparable solid doors, making them significantly easier to install and easier for hardware systems to support.

Reducing door weight also improves long-term performance by reducing stress on pivots, hinges, and frames.

Built for Architects and Millwork Professionals

SingCore manufactures unfinished door slabs supplied to trade professionals. Millwork shops and fabricators apply their own veneers, laminates, or finishes to complete the door to project specifications.

This approach allows SingCore to support a wide range of architectural door applications, including:

• oversized pivot doors
• flush interior doors
• entry doors
• sliding doors
• pocket doors
• custom architectural doors

Because every door is custom manufactured, SingCore can accommodate unusual sizes, thicknesses, and design requirements.

Custom Door Manufacturing

Every SingCore door slab is built to order.

Doors can be produced with:

• custom dimensions
• custom thicknesses
• MDF, plywood, or laminate-ready surfaces
• Suitable for any hardware
• oversized architectural formats

This flexibility allows architects and builders to create doors that would otherwise be impractical using conventional construction.

Made in the USA

SingCore doors are manufactured in the United States, McCleary, WA and supplied to architects, builders, and millwork companies working on residential, commercial, and institutional projects.

By focusing on high-performance door slabs and cores, SingCore allows fabricators to complete the finishing and detailing required for each project while benefiting from a door core designed for large-scale architectural doors.

Our Mission

SingCore exists to help architects and builders create larger, lighter, and more stable doors without the limitations of traditional construction.

With a 50-year warp-free guarantee and no maximum door size, SingCore continues to expand what is possible in modern architectural door design.

Steel Doors

Applications -> Building Components -> Doors -> Door Links -> Steel Doors

Core Value of Steel Doors
It is how steel door shapes the future by invention of Sing Core.

See: Steel Door Gallery

Steel door technology has not made any major improvements since the development of EPS core which has higher insulation for replacing the paper core and wood based core used previously. Sing Core uses reinforced EPS or urethane foam to fill the voids of the structural torsion-box-like vertical veneer in those highly insulated Sing products, and… Viola! You have the strength which is approximately 30 times stronger than any other regular door made of foam. Steel doors made of patented Sing Core is the leading edge door technology that provides more insulation, strength and extremely lightweight. The end result is more Eco-friendly door; stronger and lighter weight without using heavy gauge steel but creating an even stronger steel door. Click here to see the steel panel regular foam vs. Sing core

Achieve the security, safety and elegance of the most economical, advanced steel door technology to your entryway with Sing Metal Doors made in your choice of high quality stainless steel, galvanized steel or cold rolled steel.

This photo features a fully insulated 13 ft. x 3 ft. x 1 inch steel door with 20 gauge metal under 160 lbs. of load with hardly any deflection. No steel studs, no welding. See pix of steel panels ready for door applications.

Sing Steel Doors are the only insulated Eco-friendly steel doors that can be guaranteed true flat thanks to patented Sing Core’s torsion box/foam composite base material that not only ensures flatness at the time of manufacture but stays flat for centuries.

Lightweight

You get it all; Huge savings in heavy weight when compared to solid steel while exceeding standards of high-strength and built-in insulation backed by our limited lifetime guarantee at a fraction of the cost. It’s why we say, “Heavy does not mean strong – and light does not mean weak.” Sing Steel Doors weigh much less than other steel doors and do not require heavy steel reinforcement studs to achieve the high strength. Steel doors made Sing Core do not need expensive, heavy duty hardware required by regular heavy steel doors.

High Strength

Compared to solid steel doors, Sing Core is stronger than steel pound for pound. Patented Sing core could reach 1000 PSI strength vs. paper honeycomb core traditionally used in the steel industry and is changing how steel doors are made. Sing steel doors will not dent or kink like regular hollow core, paper core or foam core steel doors.

Economical

Patented Sing Core costs a fraction of high-end honeycomb substrates, like those used in traditional aerospace applications, and still outperforms any of them in lightweight, high-strength, eco-friendly economical solutions bar-none. And that does not even take into consideration the reduction in transportation/installation costs and reduction in maintenance and repair costs over time.

No Welding

Sing Steel Doors are manufactured without welding which reduces labor costs, environmental and health hazards and our patented method will not compromise the integrity of the steel surface of the steel door, like welding does. No need to compromise the integrity of your steel doors by incorporating the most high precision Sing Core (+/- .006 inch) material and our patented metal fabrication process.

Custom Lite Openings

Sing Steel Doors can come complete with custom lite opening cutouts for adding glass to your door. You are not limited to the type, shape or style of cutout for your glass opening. Other steel door companies offer a variety of window openings to select from. Sing Steel Doors allow you to create any glass enhancement that you can imagine.

Steel Door Replacements

Sing Steel Doors are the number one replacement steel doors specified by architects and designers who demand high-quality and longevity backed by our rock-solid limited lifetime warranty. See our Clients List.

Steel Door Hardware

When it is of primary importance to achieve high-end security and stability of a steel door, one invariably runs into the issue of heavy steel doors causing additional strain on the structure and hardware. Patented Sing Core eliminates the heavy weight of solid steel while out-performing solid steel.

* Note: STC rating varies according to size, thickness, skin, and other factors. Sing Core does not rate doors, although we are fortunate enough to have one of the best sound testing labs in the world, here in the Pacific Northwest. If you require a specific STC rating, Sing Core can build a door to your architectural specifications and have the resulting door tested at our rating facility for an official rating.

**Customer will need to perform lab tests to certify hurricane rating for local code compliance.

Weatherproof Water Tight Wood Door

True Raised Panel D

For exterior applications Sing Core wood doors are not only built true flat and designed to stay flat for centuries but they can also be virtually impervious to extreme weather conditions remaining watertight and will not warp, bend or twist over time thanks to our patented new door technology.

Some care must be taken in the selection of materials and substrate to achieve the desired results of your weatherproof and water tight wood door that can include free lite opening cutouts for glass insertion and combined with true raised panel doors for unlimited design options.

Marine grade plywood is an excellent exterior surface material, and augmenting surface treatments for sealing from the elements is also suggested as part of the solution for your water tight or weather proof expectations.

Architects seek out Sing Core for problem-solving for doors that exceed the demand that can be met by other door manufacturers, and commonly provide custom solutions for blast doors, bulletproof applications, underwater usages and extreme weather doors including hurricane doors*.

The key to designing the right door, is by clearly defining your expectations, so that Sing Core can provide you with a door that meets and exceeds your specifications, and thereby can be covered by our limited lifetime guarantee for your specific application.

Raising the Bar for Exterior Doors

Exterior doors routinely breakdown over time, leading to expensive maintenance, repair of replacement, but Sing Core weather proof and water tight doors are designed to exceed the expectations that you have learned to settle for in the past.

Sing Core is an extremely resilient material and is resistant to deterioration and/or rot even when exposed to the elements untreated.

Even without coating, Sing Core sandwich panels outlast plywood, solid wood, MDF, and particle board. Plywood and engineered wood rot and crack because of the weak glue layers. Sing Core panels last because the patented core material keeps the panels flat through torsion box technology, and therefore doesn’t allow the panel to crack, warp or twist.

As an alternative to weatherproof and watertight wood doors, Sing Aluminum and Fiberglass panels are ideal for outdoor applications for effective eco wood treatment.
