The Most Extreme Doors in the World by Sing Core

Sing Core has been making doors for nearly 15 years. During that time, we have made big and small doors, high and low, made of the best materials available on the market, built to last a lifetime, guaranteed to be warp free, according to AWI standards. Without a doubt, every door that comes through our factory is a work of art, but there are a number of doors which have exceeded all expectations to become some of the most extreme doors ever made.

The Most Extreme Doors in the World by Sing Core

Many doors have made it into the Sing Core Hall of Fame, but today let’s focus on a few of the most impressive doors.

Sliding Doors

Microsoft Huge Sliding Door

We were approached by one of the leading door and windows companies in the world, Cascade Door and Hardware to make this door that nobody deemed was even possible. With a span of 25 feet wide and a towering height of 9 feet tall, this door is, hands down, one of the largest doors in the world.

We were approached by Microsoft to accomplish a task known most often in the industry as “mission impossible.” We rose to the challenge, because we knew we could do it. This door is stronger, straighter, lighter in weight than any other door of its size in the world. Only Sing Core can do this!

We have solved all the problems with large doors, because our patented and patent pending special construction methods allow us to manufacture doors that are stronger, straighter, lighter in weight, and warp free according to AWI standards.

With our large Modular Door System you can transport multiple panels into difficult to reach areas of a work site, then join them together to make humongous doors that appear virtually seamless and function as single, complete functioning doors. You’ve never seen anything like this before, because no other door manufacturer can do this!

When you need the biggest and the best, only Sing Core will do!

Pivot Doors

Amazing Beverly Hills Pivoter

One of the most prominent millworks on the West Coast needed the best door he could get his hands on, when he was working on the most beautiful homes in Beverly Hills. If you live in Beverly Hills, you need the best possible doors to represent your image, because unimpressive doors will damage your status. Not only are Sing Core doors the strongest in their weight class, they are also up to 80% lighter than solid wood doors. Moreover, they are warp free and eco-friendly, and far more visually appealing than competing doors. They can also be made in any size with any skin.

Doors are one of the most important elements of design when building the most high end residential homes. They must be strong, light weight, and warp free, according to AWI standard. Because of our unique patented and patent pending designs, our doors can be made with extreme precision, within tolerances of +/- .006 of an inch. No one else can do this! In the door manufacturing industry. This kind of door is often called “mission impossible” and is selected by the most prestigious architects and designers in the world.

AIA Seattle Design Center Giant Pivot Doors

AIA Seattle Design Center Giant Pivot Room Dividers

FAIA Mr. Peterson, a senior architect for Suyama Peterson Deguchi, called on Sing Core to make these huge pivot man doors for the AIA Seattle Design Center remodel. They needed doors that were extremely strong, yet light weight enough to work with their specialized door hardware. Their idea was to create a gallery that could be instantly converted into a conference area. Sing Core patented and patent pending technology made this possible by using our ultra light weight, high strength design.

Without Suyama Peterson Deguchi and Sing Core, AIA would not have been able to accomplish their tasks of converting their office space into a unique, convenient, practical, world-class conference room, gallery rife with style and elegance.

Terminal C-18 Film Screening Room, Minneapolis, Minnesota

The C-18 in Minneapolis, Minnesota Airport needed a double purpose wall, one side for their art exhibit, the other side for their quiet theater screen viewing room. The problem was that these walls needed to open and close to allow access the the foyer area.

Terminal C-18 knew there was only one company they could count on to get the job right. Sing Core rose to the occasion.

The panels we manufactured and provided by far exceeded their expectations.

Sing Core has helped to create a better environment for everyone at Minneapolis Airport, because we can make our panels stronger, straighter, lighter, and more warp free than the competition.

Miller Blaker 16 Foot Tall Pivot Door

Miller Blaker came to us with one of the most challenging jobs in the entire world. They needed doors high quality enough to install on the top floor of the most prestigious building in the world. They came to Sing Core, because they knew our proven track records of building doors that are not only best in their class in terms of structural stability and strength, but also light weight enough to hang on Miller Blaker’s hardware of choice.

No one else can achieve the dimensional stability Sing Core can.

These doors had to be perfectly straight, dimensionally stable, and incredibly strong for use in such a challenging scenario. Miller Blaker required doors that were 16 feet tall, 3 feet wide, yet only 2.25 inches thick. Often these kinds of dimensions are what industry professionals call “mission impossible.” Here’s at Sing Core, we make the impossible possible.

Moreover, we built these doors with a solid oak edge that makes the entire door appear like solid wood with no seam. Only Sing Core can do this!

When Miller Blaker came to Sing Core, what we ended up with was a winning combination all around, one of the best architects in the world, paired with the best materials in the world, for doors that would end up in one of the best locations in the entire world.

Brandner Design Incredible Accordion Pivot Sliding Door Room Dividers

With the help of Sing Core, Brandner Design’s amazing innovation and design skills made this door one of the most exceptional doors in the world. Many people thought it wasn’t possible to make accordion sliding door room divider walls. No one can shed doubt on these doors, because this video is irrefutable proof.

When their client needed a special door that could divide this room and fit into a recessed receptacle inside the wall, Brandner Design called upon Sing Core to help them with the task. No other company was better suited to the task, because our panels are stronger, straighter, more dimensionally stable, and lighter, so they’re able to accommodate more hardware and stand the test of time, even after hundreds and thousands of uses. In the door business, there is one rule that stands true, no matter what kind of door you are installing. Exceptional panels result in exceptional doors.

This beautiful mural door is an example of how an amazing designer or architect can use our panels to create the most beautiful doors imaginable. Mural doors are one of the more interesting ways to use our products. They can also add a great deal of character to an otherwise stale environment.

We can build you a substrate, ready for you to paint your own murals, or you can order doors from us in any skin.

Sing Core can make you doors in any skin

Metal Doors

Hot Rolled Steel Pivot Door

Sing Core specializes in a wide variety of exceptional quality metal skin doors. We have hot rolled steel, cold rolled steel, and aluminum skins. We also offer edge banding as a premiums option.

Unique Hot Rolled Steel Sliding Man Doors

This beautiful hot rolled steel man door can be opened and closed very. Check out these beautiful Sing Core doors we manufactured for Jet City Winery. The hot rolled steel appearance gave them the amazing darkened look. We used 20 gauge steel with edge banding, which gave the doors a very heavy look, like solid steel, but with the patented and patent pending Sing Core design, we were able to make them very light.

The best metal doors in the industry have Sing Core inside them. We start with a super strong, super light, ultra straight panel, then encase it completely in metal, resulting in a metal door that is up to 900% lighter than solid metal doors, while maintaining increased structural strength, better resistance to warping, and a much higher degree of visual appeal. No one else can do this!

Because pivot doors require exceptional strength and the need to be exceptionally straight and lightweight in order to function properly, Sing Core was the only choice. Only Sing Core can create 14 foot French doors that are lightweight, strong enough to stand on, and warp free according to AWI standards, and visually appealing enough to meet even your most rigorous needs. Quality is at the core of the Sing Core philosophy.

French Doors

14 Foot Tall French Door

Industry leading millworks, architects, and high end designers call on us to make all kinds of doors that present far too much of a challenge for other door manufacturers to construct. This was the very door many of our customers called “mission impossible.”

This 14 foot tall French door can be easily carried and transported by just a single worker, yet, pound for pound, it’s stronger than steel and warp free guaranteed for 50 years. Here at singcore, we make the impossible possible! Doing the impossible while providing you with exceptional quality products is part of our philosophy here at Sing Core.

Giant Sliding Factory Door

Sing Core High End Giant Factory Sliding Doors Increase Productivity

Sing Core Large Factory Sliding doors can be used for all kinds of industrial purposes. They are ideal for warehouses, hangars, factories, plants, manufacturing facilities, and other industrial and commercial scenarios. Using our patented and patent pending technology, we manufacture doors that are easier and less expensive to install, lighter in weight, so they allow you to use less expensive hardware than doors made by the competition.

Huge 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ inch Large Factory Sliding Door for Industrial Use.

At this factory, the workers were struggling daily with their large factory door that was warping and twisting, due to environmental factors. Their door was excessively weighty and the door was extremely difficult to open and close. Door functionality was severely impaired, because of warping and twisting. It was also peeling and falling apart, due to poor construction. The managers knew they needed to fix the problem, but not just any door would do. This is why they called upon Sing Core to solve their problems.

Sing Core tackled the problem immediately with their patented solutions. First of all, because of the size of the door, they knew they would need to solve the weight problem.

Giant Factory Door Extremely Light Weight

With our patented and patent pending methods, solved the weight problems. This huge panel measures 12’ x 5’ x 3” thick, yet it only weighs 121 pounds so it can be easily lifted by two men, as you can see in the photo. This demonstrates there are no other panels on the market as light and large as Sing Core panels.

The Strongest of the Strong

Tested independently, in UW labs, as able to withstand force upwards of 660 PSI, Sing Core, hands down, manufactures the strongest material in its weight class. Large doors need higher strength to stave off potential warpage. That’s how we provide doors that are stronger, lighter, and more warp free, according to AWI standards.

Our panels can support the weight of a grown man with next to zero flex.

Sing Core doors also come with nearly any skin. Our most popular skins are Alder, Mahogany, Western Red Cedar, Fir, Pine, Hemlock, Balsa, Birch. Even better, we can apply hot rolled or cold rolled steel, aluminum, copper, bronze. Your doors are only limited by your imagination.

If you need the highest strength, lightest weight, most warp free large sliding doors and large pocket doors, available in more skin options than any other door, you need Sing Core doors.

Factory Hangar Large Sliding Door 5 x 12 x 3.5 inch

Huge 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ inch Large Factory Sliding Door for Hangars and Warehouses.

This revolutionary new door has so many skins available that you will find it suits every possible purpose. You can use this door as a large factory door, a huge sliding hangar door, massive barn doors, very big manufacturing plant doors, colossal barn doors, and other magnificent bay doors that will leave your guests and customers in awe.

The Sing Core Advantage

Another advantage to Sing Core is that you can apply any kind of skin or finishing. This photo shows high quality siding applied to the huge factory door. The siding is very easy to apply and is great in exterior weather conditions. Whether rain, snow, or hot sun, your door will be protected against the elements every single time.

Applying siding to your door will offer superior weather proofing.

Giant factory doors are a Sing Core specialty, as you can see here from the picture, which shows how large and well built our doors are.

Massive 20′ x 12′ x 3.5″ sliding factory door with siding.

This photo shows the true scale of the door. When you see a full grown man standing in front of it, the massive nature of the door is apparent.

Sing Core Triple Panel Sliding Door

There are many ways to build a door. One of the most effective ways is to build multiple doors that open together in one space. There are advantages to covering your door opening with more than one panel. This allows each panel to be lighter and it offers more versatility with your hardware. Hardware does not have to be as strong, because the the weight of the full door does not rest all on one track. Also, it is much easier to install a door in sections, because very large doors tend to be heavier and much more difficult to install.

Singcore patented and patent pending technology allows us to make doors that are so large, yet so light they can be opened with just one fingure. Over the years, we have done so much research and development in the areas of strength and light weight attributes that we have been able to make panels that are much stronger, pound for pound, than competing products. When you need large industrial doors that hold up under the most rigorous conditions, Sing Core has your door.

Hot Rolled Steel Doors

Hot rolled steel panels high precision

Sing Core brings an Eco-friendly approach to working with large spans of hot rolled steel with less weight and more strength than plain steel pound for pound, revolutionizing the steel fabrication process. In fact, we are best known for our large hot rolled steel metal doors and hot rolled steel wall panels.

Our patented rolled steel panels feature custom metal fabrication uses high grade formaldehyde free adhesives instead of the more destructive welding process and your Sing Hot Rolled Steel Panel can host an exterior hot rolled sheet metal thickness of 16 gauge or more.

Sing hot rolled steel takes metal working into a whole new arena that is being embraced by steel companies making huge hot rolled steel products without having to use heavy steel framing.

These lightweight high strength hot rolled steel accordion doors (see video above) are 10 ft tall, each door panel is 3 ft wide and (brace yourself) only 3/4 inch thick… high precision and perfectly straight! (Try that with anything else… Only possible with patented Sing Core.)

Hot rolled steel accordian door panels quote request form example

Click for order example

One of the primary functions of Sing hot rolled steel products is in the area of commercial steel entry doors. If you are new to metal manufacturing, you will find that raw hot rolled steel has a more primitive or industrial feel to it, it has a less smooth surface than cold rolled steel and requires finishing to avoid rust or oxidation. The unique appearance of hot rolled steel panels appeals to designers, architects, museums, art galleries and often used in steel wall art.

Especially if you’re considering utilizing hot rolled steel for your large doors, Sing Core can help to mitigate the damages caused by the heavy weight of hot rolled steel doors with interior steel frames that require welding. This allows you to build hot rolled steel doors of immense size that are high precision, just like other types of Sing metal.

The Sing Core material is extremely high precision (within +/- .006 inch) which keeps your hot rolled steel door straight and flat regardless of its size. The advantages of the straighter and truer big metal doors come in handy when you multiply the door’s required integrity by two when dealing with steel double doors. Double steel doors, especially if they are large and oversized, are fraught with additional challenges.

Sing hot rolled steel can be used for upscale industrial steel doors and in commercial metal door replacements for increased performance and high precision which also supply the project with built in insulation and sound deadening qualities.

20 ft x 5 ft x 1 inch strength demonstration

Our hot roll steel solutions are changing the scope of architectural metal fabrication because the nature of hot rolled steel is predominantly restrictive due to the weight and framing required to support the raw material. Having access to a lightweight, high strength alternative, like Sing Hot Rolled Steel Panels, opens doors to unencumbered creativity.

Sing Core’s hot rolled steel doors are just some of the best doors that are among the many types of doors that have put us on the map as the best door featured in the most high end jobs across the country and the world.

You will find Sing hot rolled steel panels used not only as a standard swing door but also as hot rolled steel flooring, hot rolled steel counter tops, hot rolled steel wall panels and room dividers, hot rolled steel pivot doors and hot rolled steel sliding doors.

Sing Door Ship Receive Warp-free Care

Shipping, Receiving, and Care of

Your Warp-free Sing Door

Sing Core only works with the best and most highly proficient millworks and door manufacturers. This segment of the industry is well-versed in how to deal with high-end building materials such as Sing Core. For many years, Sing Core has provided unfailing warp-free solutions to the biggest and best architects and millworks in the world, without one complaint.

As more millworks and smaller door companies are reaching out to offer their clients access to Sing Core, we do occasionally run across industry professionals who are not aware about what to expect or how to handle Sing Core raw materials. Some of these less-experienced, newer and/or smaller millworks and door companies may not know what to expect when dealing with a product like patented Sing Core. We desire to welcome newcomers to have access to patented Sing products. For those, we are providing the following information:

Unfinished

All Sing products are shipped as unfinished to the millworks and door companies who are highly proficient in working with high-end materials such as Sing Core. A Sing door blank is not a ready-to-install door and are not available from the factory with hardware or as pre-hung doors. Sing Core works in tandem with the industry professionals and the factory may, or may not, handle some of the detail works, such as applying exterior skins to the door blank. The door finishing, hardware, framing, and installation are all coordinated before your Sing door blank is built.

Packaging and Shipping

Sing products tend to be very large in size and require custom crating to assure they are not damaged in shipment to the industry professionals. Even with the best efforts of Sing Core’s custom crating team, sometimes a Sing product may arrive blemished and/or damaged by the shippers entrusted with the handling of crated Sing materials. In most, if not all, cases the level of structural integrity of Sing products in combination with the high level of proficiency of the finishers receiving Sing products, even damaged Sing Core can easily be returned to new condition, even if mishandled or damaged in shipment.

Arrival of Sing Products

Upon arrival of Sing products, be prepared to receive an unfinished product via truck. Offloading may require a forklift and dock for receipt. That said, there will be work that needs to be done to the product received by the millwork or door company before it is retail-ready.

Acclimatization

In most cases, when receiving a multiple Sing Core order, where Sing door blanks have been shipped in a stack, or side by side, it is perfectly normal for even a warp-free door blank to appear to be warped upon receipt. Usually, the Sing door blank(s) which face the outside of the crate, or the top of a stack of warp-free door blanks will appear to be warped. By acclimatizing these doors, they will straighten out to their straight and true flat appearance.

To acclimatize your Sing door core, stand your door on its edge at least twelve inches away from any adjoining surface area, allowing it to acclimate for up to 72 hours. Measure your door again and you will find it to be straight and true. If not, document for warp and contact Sing Core.

Panels must be sealed or painted before being hung to prevent warp.

Panels must be protected from weather exposure with overhang, sealing, or cladding to prevent warp.

Storage

After you’ve received your patented Sing products, in the event that you will have to store them prior to finishing and/or installation, try to store them standing upright, on end, with plenty of space in between. Do not lean Sing products against a wall. If you have to store them stacked, wrap in plastic and place one or two sheets of plywood underneath and on top of the stack of Sing products. This will help keep the entire stack similarly acclimatized while not in use, otherwise, you may have to re acclimatize the top and/or bottom Sing products later, when you are ready to use them.

Door Warp Definition

Door warp is a variation from a plane surface within the door itself. It does not refer to the door in relation to the frame or jamb in which it was hung. Bow, cup, and twist are terms which describe warp in a door and are defined as follows: Bow is a curvature along the door height, or a deviation from a flat plane from end to end. Cup is a curvature across the door width or a deviation from a flat plane from side to side. Twist is a distortion in which one corner is out of the plane of the other three corners. Warp is usually a result of unequal stresses within the door from one face to the other caused by changes in humidity and temperature conditions or uneven conditions from one face to the other. Buildings shall be humidity and temperature controlled before doors are delivered and installed. Required conditions are 25% to 55% relative humidity and 50° to 90° F (10° to 32° C) temperature range. Improper handling, stacking, and storage can also contribute to warp. Doors shall be stored flat on a level surface off the floor with cross supports.

HOW TO MEASURE WARP

Use a taut string or straight-edge and measure on the concave face of door – diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. Measure at the point of maximum distance between the taut string or straight-edge and the face of the door.

Measurement must be made on the concave face of the door. Door shall be open when measuring for warp (lock not latched into strike). One person can measure warp using a string and taping one or both ends onto the face of the door, holding it taut. Don’t measure warp in relationship to the door frame. Often a door may not fit into the frame properly but is not warped. In these cases, check the frame – it must be set plumb and square and jambs must not be twisted or out of alignment. Action on any claim for warp may be deferred for up to one year after project completion to permit doors to acclimate to temperature and humidity conditions.

ALLOWABLE WARP TOLERANCE
FOR WOOD DOORS

1-3/4 inch (44 mm) or thicker doors:

3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm) or smaller, 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum.
Larger than 3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm), 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum in any 3’-6” x 7’-0” (1050 mm x 2100 mm) section.

1-3/8 inch (35 mm) doors:

3’-0” x 7’-0” (900 mm x 2100 mm) or smaller, 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) maximum.
Larger sizes not addressed in this standard

Warp-free definition: Doors with patented professional SingCore inside outperform any other Eco-friendly door in the world in terms of being lightweight (SingCore weight is approximately 10 % of solid wood, timber or plywood core) and high strength (660 PSI+, stronger than steel pound-for-pound). No other door Eco-friendly door made in the USA can reach our high precision (SingCore approximately +/- .006 inch) or flatness meets or exceeds door industry allowance for door warp, as seen above). We guarantee no other Eco-friendly, lightweight, high-strength insulated door can compare with any door that has patented professional Sing Core inside. SingCore is raising the standard of what is possible in terms of building large doors that can be true flat and warp-free.

How can you tell if you have a warped door or not?

There is an industry standard method of determining whether your door is warped or not.

To determine whether you have a warped door or not you will need a length of string (longer than the length or height of your door) and a measuring stick or tape measure.

a) Tape one end of the string to the edge of the door and the other end to the opposite edge of the door.

The string should be straight. If there is a gap between the string and the door’s surface, you may have a warped door.

b) Measure the gap between the string and the door’s surface area.

If the gap is greater than ¼” your door is warped (according to AWI standards for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors 3’-0” to 3′-6″ x 7’-0”).

c) If the length exceeds 7 ft. AWI standard applies to any 7 ft. section. Apply string to any 7 ft. span.

Contact your door maintenance company and send them two photos.

d) [1] Photo of the length of the string which shows as much of the door in its entirety, or at least from one end of the string to the other. Then [2] a closeup photo of your measurement of the gap.

Armed with these two photographs, which can easily be emailed to the millwork or door maintenance company of your choice, the recipients will be able to determine how best to approach the repair or replacement of your warped door.

You might consider replacing your warped door with a professional door which has Sing Core inside which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend twist or otherwise fail so as to avoid this pitfall in the future.

For more information, see: Door Warping vs. True Flat

What if my door with Sing Core inside is warped?

The same standard method of determining and measuring any door with Sing Core inside is used just like any other door (as noted above).

Contact Sing Core about your concerns about your door being certain to include the two photos as noted above.

If you have purchased a professional door with Sing Core inside, you may be the recipient of a replacement Sing door.

Note that upon arrival and un-crating of a door with Sing Core inside, a door may appear warped (and indeed it will be measurable). This is normal for a door which has been packed and in transit. Stand your door on its edge at least twelve inches away from any adjoining surface area, allowing it to acclimatize for up to 72 hours. Measure your door again and you will find it to be straight and true. If not, document for warp (as above) and contact Sing Core.

In the event that a professional door with Sing Core inside is warped (which is highly unlikely) your help in determining the cause of the door’s warping is appreciated. Please assist documenting the chain of custody of your professional door with Sing Core inside, including the millwork or door company which finished the door, and the installers who installed the door, to help us insure your replacement door remains warp-free.

Lightweight Slatwall

Slatwall has taken a whole new turn as patented SingCore makes lightweight slatwall available that is very strong as modular slatwall components to create the most comprehensive lightweight slat wall system that can be easily interlocked and used as trade show displays.

White

Hard Rock Maple

Affordable Slatwall

The ability of SingCore to offer standard-sized slatwall components makes Sing slatwall the most affordable and durable thermally-fused laminate (TFL) slat wall system (which is also easy to attach and remove your vinyl graphics, if you so desire) available with interlocking lightweight slatwall panels which do not require a base wall or stick framed wall to attach the slat wall to.

Slatwall Panels

Patented Sing slatwall panels are affordable in standard sizes, such as retail slatwall panels at 47.5 x 95.5 inches and modular slatwall panels used as trade show displays in two sizes: 90 x 36 and 90 x 22 inches, each slatwall panel is 2 inches thick and features slatwall slots every 6 inches.

Modular Slatwall Panels

Your standard sing slatwall panels may be configured and reconfigured in any way you so desire. Additional slatwall panel components in standard sizes and connection standards can be purchased at any time to expand or radically change your slatwall system design. Sing reusable slatwall is lightweight and flat packs for easy storage in between uses, if for temporary purposes. In the case of slatwall trade show displays, your entire slatwall display system can be easily flat packed for shipment to the next trade show or back home for storage until next year.

Lightweight High Strength Metal-look Slatwall

Our new alternative for making lightweight metal-looking metal slatwall panels incorporates the use of decorative HPL surfaces, from manufacturers like Masonite and Formica. Following are photo examples of just some of the metal-look lightweight high strength slatwall surface materials available.

: Aluminum Stainless Slatwall

: Brushed Aluminum Slatwall

: Brasstoned Aluminum Slatwall

: Mirror Aluminum Slatwall

: Polished Aluminum Slatwall

Examples include Aluminum Stainless Slatwall, Brushed Aluminum Slatwall, Brushed Stainless Slatwall, Aluminum Footplate Slatwall, Brasstoned Aluminum Slatwall, Mirrored Aluminum Slatwall, Polished Aluminum Slatwall, Satin Aluminum Slatwall, and Solid Metal Skatwall made with HPL that looks like real metal panels at a fraction of the cost. This is the economical approach to metal slatwall panels. If you don’t see what you are looking for (these are the most popular metal-look slatwall panels), just ask us.
