Hidden “Jib” Doors

A door that is hidden in plain sight is commonly referred to as a “jib” door. Jib doors can often be called invisible doors or frameless doors. This type of door traditionally sits flush with the wall and matches any pattern on the wall. Jib doors provide a camouflage entrance to “secret” rooms. Everyone loves a house with a hidden door or secret rooms. We can provide jib doors, concealed cupboards and riser door systems perfect for concealing unsightly riser doors, access panels and service cupboards.

Essentially, it’s a door that is flush-mounted right into the wall—and often without hardware—essentially making it “invisible.” Sing Core provides lightweight and high strength door panels. These panels are crafted with the utmost precision. Sing Core’s door panels are comprised of a specially designed torsion box honeycomb core. This special design prevents warping, even in greatly over-sized doors. Sing Core is one of the only door companies who can guarantee their doors for 50 years. No other door company can make this claim!

Known for their essential “invisibility,” jib doors are flush-mounted directly into the wall allowing them to blend beautifully with their surroundings. The most subtle jib doors often lack any visible hardware. Bookcase doors work perfectly as entrances to panic rooms or vaults for storing firearms, jewelry, documents and other important items. A jib door is nearly invisible, or at least disguised from being recognized as a door. It may have the same moldings or wall treatment as the surrounding wall, creating a door hidden in plain sight.

What is the purpose of a jib door? A jib door or set of jib doors allow you to disguise that old broom closet so no one would even know it is there. Jib doors are very popularly used to keep precious valuables safe and secure. More importantly, jib doors can and are used to conceal your home’s panic room. A jib door is only hidden as well as it is made precise. Do not take any chances, and let Sing Core build your very own custom jib door. Sing Core offers precision unlike any other door company out there. This being said, we can manufacture the most seamless jib doors on the market.

Sing Core builds the most high end and lightweight doors on the market, and remain economically friendly! We custom build every door by hand to ensure the utmost precision as well as the utmost customer satisfaction. Plus, if your invisible door has Sing Core inside, you get the added safety and security of having a fully insulated sound deadening jib door which is also highly effective in maintaining consistent temperature control on either side of the wall door.

Millworks and high-end custom door manufacturers know they can rely on Sing Core’s ability to provide a warp-free door blank which will remain straight and true enough to protect the hidden door’s secret of invisibility over time. Not only can Sing Core offer the utmost precision, but we can offer precision that lasts longer than any other door company. Traditional door materials; such as solid wood, hollow core with MDF, or plastic tend to warp as they age and some are warp the day you purchase them! Sing Core guarantees that every door produced will not warp or fail, and this is backed by the Sing Core 50 year guarantee!

Veneer Contractors and Laminators

Sing Core works to support veneer and lamination industries for critical large-scale jobs that would otherwise be too complicated to manage or may run into problems when the product begins to move.

For years, Sing Core has been providing the best veneer and lamination companies to keep their large, oversized products straight and true without fear of warping.

Only inventor Peter Sing’s warp-free veneer substrate can keep your veneers and laminations from warping over time. This is especially important in free-standing applications, such as temporary walls, display walls, and large doors of any size.

When your veneers or laminations are applied to any flat surface, like a wall or a floor, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to unexpected movement, but these free-standing applications are always a problem when trying to keep your product straight.

The application for which Sing Core is unsurpassed in superior performance is that of large doors. Door companies that long ago refused to make large doors due to the liability of warping not long after installation, are now making the biggest doors available to their custom clientele. That’s why architects spec Sing Core inside.

50-year Warp-free Guarantee

Only large doors with Sing’s patented Sing Core inside can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years, including structure.

We Do Not Build Doors

We only provide the best millworks and door companies with the warp-free doors substrate. Our customers are the one’s who have our door cores finished, veneered, or laminated. We only provide the substrate. Our clients are the ones that make the doors look so amazing.

We Need You and Your Services

When an architect or contractor in your area specifies “Sing Core inside” whatever job is at hand, we do not do the veneer or laminate. We send our work to you.

We are constantly on the lookout for new laminators and veneer shops to add these materials to our core for the architects and contractors who have spec’d our material.

If It is Too Big, We Got You

If you’ve got a project that is at risk of warping in the field, we can supply you directly with our core for you to apply your materials to.

In the event that you end up taking a project that is too big for your presses, Sing Core can help you with that as well.

Extra Large Wood Stave Lamination

The one in-house lamination service that we provide to the lamination and veneer industries is to offer wood stave lamination of products that exceed the capacity of your presses, so now, you too can offer your products to your clients which are of great size.

All this, and you can pass on our 50-year warp-free guarantee to your clients.

Interior Pocket Doors

Need to make a small room seem bigger? Tired of the footprint taken up by the door swing? A pocket door could be the perfect solution to these issues. Pocket doors have their origins in Victorian homes where they often separated formal seating areas or entry ways. A pocket door is a type of sliding door. Unlike a regular door, a pocket door slides in and out of a wall on a track. Sliding Pocket Doors are a great way to conserve space. Similar to sliding barn doors, pocket doors have the ability to be hidden within a wall. Pocket doors are the perfect portal for powder rooms, laundry rooms, pantries or utility rooms. In small areas like these, a standard swinging door would take up a significant amount of space.

What is a pocket door and how does it differ from a regular door? A pocket door is a type of sliding door. A pocket door slides into a hollow cavity, or “pocket,” in the wall.

Pocket doors maximize under-utilized areas around doorways and transform them into smart storage spots. A pocket door simply slides into a frame in the wall, freeing up a great deal more of the room and opening up the design possibilities.

Sliding pocket doors were very popular with turn of the nineteenth century builders and they can be seen in different style and design such as double pocket door. An open interior door breaks up the line of the wall and can look a little clunky.

Pocket doors disappear completely when open, creating an elegant, streamlined appearance. Sliding pocket doors are useful in designing two separate rooms, so that they may be joined as needed. Pocket doors don’t seal a room as tightly as a traditional swinging door, and the typical locking mechanism is flimsier than a tubular latch or deadbolt.

This is why sliding pocket doors are best used as interior doors. Pocket doors are an interesting addition to many homes because they slide into the wall, hiding the door when open. Most of you already probably know this, but for those who don’t, pocket doors are interior doors that “disappear” into a shallow slot inside a wall.

When it comes to saving space, pocket doors are loved by designers, builders and homeowners alike. A pocket door is a great way to pick up usable space that’s normally occupied by a swinging door. Sing Core creates sliding doors and pocket doors for stylish, intuitive, and space-saving solutions.

These pocket door frames are made of sturdy wood, with a skin of your choice. We can provide veneer, wood stave, aluminum, hot or cold rolled steel, and much more!

Here at Sing Core we specialize in custom doors, so if you can think of it, then we can do it! Let us help you with your next project. Sing Core produces the most accurate door panels on the market.

Sing Core is the only company to produce over-sized doors that are structurally guaranteed for 50 years. No other door company can structurally guarantee their doors for 50 years, even their standard sized doors.

What Is A Pivot Door?

A pivot door rotates on a pivot box in the floor and the top jamb rather than traditional door side hinges, which is common in most homes. Pivot Doors have become a popular choice for entrances, creating a bold statement at your first point of contact.

What makes pivot doors so unique? The pivot door or pivot window is an opening system with a central or lateral rotating axis that allows for very large door panels. The craftsmanship and technology of a pivot hinge allows for a larger opening than most other types of doors since traditional hinges cannot carry the same kind of weight. Pivot doors are fantastic options for where there is a large amount of space and enough floor room for the door to be able to swing all around.

Grounded in the principles of modern architecture, a pivot door emphasizes clean lines and simple shapes. Pivot doors are well suited for pivoting walls and can also be used as room dividers. Until now, affordable pivot doors are thicker than average doors and heavy in weight. The large size and heavy weight causes extra costs associated with shipping and handling. Shipping is more expensive because shipping costs are calculated on weight. Handling is more expensive because heavy equipment is necessary for transporting and manipulating the pivot door into place for installation. Pivot door hardware is also based on the affordable pivot door’s weight, so a heavier pivot door will require more expensive and heavy duty hardware. Here at Sing Core we manufacture custom premium wood pivot-hung entry doors for exterior and interior use. Our pivot doors feature our patented lightweight insulated torsion box pivot door core inside. Which imbues each door with the unique characteristics of a solid core pivot door featuring the exact size, material and appearance of any style of pivot door, while remaining extremely lightweight and incredibly strong. Independently University tested at 660 PSI, makes Sing Core’s pivot door core stronger than steel pound for pound. The pre-insulated core also means greater climate control and noise cancellation between spaces. Also, the lightweight of Sing Core’s pivot doors, means less shipping, handling, transportation and installation costs, requiring less expensive hardware.

A pivot, not a hinge rather than hanging from hinges in the frame, a pivot-hung door swings on a set of pins mounted in the top and bottom of the door. Transform the look of your home or office by opting for Sing Core’s affordable pivot doors. Pivoting front entry doors provide an elegant look and appear to float inside the door frame. We are offering premium wood pivot-hung entry doors for exterior and interior use that cannot be found anywhere else. Let Sing Core build your custom pivot doors, custom modern entry doors, exterior mahogany wood doors, or any other custom door you can imagine! If you can create the idea, we can create the door. Every Sing Core door comes with a 50 year structural guarantee, something that no other door company has been able to offer.

Swing-out Carriage Doors

Are you in need of replacing those old carriage doors? Maybe you just want to spice up your home a little bit? Carriage doors are a great way to do this. They are very large, and yet so elegant. Carriage doors can replace your roll-up garage door. It will save you an immense amount of space! Carriage doors use a series of hinges instead of a track as the roll-up garage doors use. Using Sing Core makes your installation simpler, doors last much longer, and are significantly easier to handle. Easier handling means that your shipping cost will be even more favorable!

Hinged, swinging, swing-out, swingout, swing-in, swing, slide, or fold carriage doors for your carriage house garage can be found at Sing Core. The old-fashioned design, side-hinged garage doors swing open and closed from a hinged frame on either side of the opening. We create the most lightweight, strongest, and economically friendly doors. Traditional carriage doors are very heavy due to their size and structure, which causes them to need very heavy duty hardware to hang the door. The idea that carriage doors open on heavy duty hinges my not seem like a hindrance, but it raises the cost of hardware and make the door increasingly more difficult to install. So make it easier for yourself or your contractor to install your carriage doors by using Sing Core doors. Sing Core proudly makes any size (no matter how large) door tailored to your needs. Our doors weigh a third of a standard carriage door. Don’t think for a second that this weight difference alters the quality. Sing Core doors are the strongest doors on the market today. We believe so strongly in this that all of our doors are backed with a 50 year structural guarantee. No other door company can come even close to that!

Carriage style garage doors swing open elegantly and add a classy look to homes. Custom swing out garage doors are becoming more popular each year.

Swing-out, side-hinged heavy double doors can be served as the entryway to your home even! With a classic, yet highly unique, twist on modern garage door functionality, the side hinged garage doors are perfect for anybody who is looking to spruce up their home. Sing Core happens to be the #1 custom carriage house wood garage door manufacturer. We create custom swing out garage doors that are made to order and can be shipped throughout the USA and even abroad.

Pivot Door 50 Year Guarantee

There have not been many truly significant advances in the manufacturing or pivot doors in the last hundred years, until now, with the invention of patented Sing Core which offers the only pivot door 50 year guarantee for a large custom eco-friendly lightweight high strength door.

Such a door could not be built before. In fact, when the largest door companies were approached with building a large custom pivot door, they turned the job away, because while such a door could be built and look spectacular when installed, it would not be long and the door would fail.

Large custom pivot doors were manufactured by high end millworks willing to do the work and charge the prices commensurate with a high degree of craftsmanship with reliable regular maintenance over the life of the door because the key to making these large pivot doors work over time would require a heavy maintenance schedule to straighten the doors that were known to warp and need repair periodically (potentially every change of season depending on the climate and geographic location of the big pivoting door).

This was the case of every large pivoting door over three-and-a-half feet wide and seven-and-a-half feet tall, especially if they were large wooden pivot doors. Natural wood tends to want to move according to any change in the environment. The result? Large warping pivot doors.

Enter inventor Peter Sing’s patented large pivot door core which empowers high end millworks and the biggest door companies in America to build the biggest lightweight high strength pivot doors in the world that can be

Guaranteed Warp-free for 50 Years

Inventor Peter Sing created a hybrid composite core and anti-warp technology to build large pivot door cores that could support the weight of any exterior material and stay straight and true. Sing’s True Flat Team helps to design and create the perfect door base material to accomplish the goals of the architects, designers, door engineers, artists, and end users, with no risk of warping doors.

The technology is based on a melding of new and old technologies using Sing’s out-of-the-box approach to problem-solving. Start with a basic torsion box design (traditional method of building large flat wooden products) but flip the grain of the torsion box frame on its side so that it lays perpendicular to the stress skins. Then before you apply the stress skins fill all the empty cavities inside the torsion box structure with rigid recycled foam. Cold-press with formaldehyde-free glue for a basic warp-free base material.

That’s the basic formula, but there are type of woods and other building materials which have a greater propensity to warp than others. Sing’s True Flat team reviews each door and determines if extra patented and patent-pending anti-warping technologies will have to be added to the door to keep it from warping, especially if it has a surface material with a greater potential to warp.

The Warp-free Pivot Door 50 Year Guarantee

Is a science which Sing has mastered. And just when you thought that might be all you might expect from any pivot door with Sing Core inside…

But Wait. There’s More…

All of Sing’s pivot doors also have an impressive list of features that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, except for Sing’s factory located deep in Washington State’s scenic Pacific Northwest. They also offer,

SOUND DEADENING

For added safety and security for you, your family, at work, in scientific, government, and military applications. This is why you see Sing’s core specified in the best soundproof doors.

CLIMATE CONTROL

At least R3.5 per inch (R-value can be increased to match your performance expectations) of Sing Core give’s you more separation from the elements or greater temperature control in heating or cooling environments.

HIGH PRECISION

If you are looking at a lightweight high strength building material, Sing’s core can meet or exceed your precision expectations as it hosts high tolerances throughout (+/- .006 in.).

LOW MAINTENANCE

In side by side comparisons, pivot doors with Sing Core inside require less maintenance over time than any other door because, simply stated, they do not warp, cup, bend, twist, not otherwise fail.

LONG LIFE SPAN

Sing’s doors are designed and built to last for centuries but guaranteed to perform fail-free for 50 years. No other eco-friendly lightweight high strength material can do that.

Add to those characteristics, the following attributes:

LIGHTWEIGHT

A fraction (at least one-third less) the weight of other wood-based cores or their alternatives.

HIGH STRENGTH

Able to span long distances and carry loads with little or no support. Unbelievable unless you’ve had the opportunity to handle a Sing door first-hand.

WARP-FREE

No other material can compare to Peter Sing’s uncanny ability to build doors that just will not warp. Sing Core is the reason door companies, millworks, and custom door manufacturers are back in the business of building large pivot doors again.

50-YEAR GUARANTEE

The only door in the world guaranteed not to warp, fail, or delaminate for 50 years.

This is why more and more you are able to find Sing’s patented tech anywhere from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between.

Join the Sing Revolution today, for a better world.

High End Pivot Doors

Sing Core goes through great lengths to provide the best architects and millworks with the best high-end pivot doors in the world. High end pivot doors stand out because they are generally massive in size which can be problematic for engineering a door which performs flawlessly over time.

Unlike hinged doors, your pivot door rotates on a pivot box, which only has two anchor points, whereas a hinged doors has three anchor points on one side of the door which helps to keep the door straight.

Sing Core assures clientele that they possess a high-quality pivot door that can be guaranteed not to warp, ben, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years. Astonishingly, Sing Core can design huge wood pivot-hung entry doors that can also be guaranteed not to warp. (Something unheard of in the door industry until the invention of Sing Core.)

Inventor Peter Sing’s patented high-end pivot door core makes all the difference. Sing’s factory is not a door manufacturer, instead his factory provides the best door manufacturers, millworks, and custom pivot door builders with the base material which makes the highest standard of large pivot-hung entryways possible.

Exquisite cooperation in design and quality construction while working with a team of architects, door designers, engineers, manufacturers, finishers, and installers assures that Sing’s Eco-friendly high-end pivot doors possess the following attributes:

Lightweight

High Strength

Fully Insulated

50-year Warp-free Guarantee

Sing’s pivot doors weigh so little that millworks and door manufacturers are amazed that two people can easily maneuver a 20 ft wide pivot door blank. It is something you can’t quite understand until you are actually holding it in your hands.

These patented Sing cores are so strong, you can see Peter Sing standing on this 13 ft long one-inch thick panel with little or no deflection. Imagine what you could do with Sing’s core.

The pre-installed rigid insulation offers added safety and security, sound deadening, and increased climate control.

This is how the highest quality pivot front doors are made.

Generally, large pivot doors are quite thick, which leaves anyone who encounters such a door with a striking first impression, which is imprinted in nearly everyone’s brain, and they will be found later telling stories about the enormous pivot door that articulated with such ease. Even so, Sing’s core is so lightweight and strong that you can create a high-end ultra-thin pivot door, if necessary.

The Sing Core pivot factory can also preconfigure your high-end pivot door with any type or style of custom lite opening. You can feature several lite openings for a particular design effect, or one large opening for that French door feeling that maximizes pivot door views of the outdoors and/or neighboring landscapes.

Peter Sing’s philosophy is one of simple beauty and lasting quality with an unparalleled guarantee which cannot be achieved with any other lightweight pivot door core, until now, thanks to his invention.

While most of Sing’s pivot doors are designed and built of wood, many are built of metals, such as aluminum, steel, and other types of metals including bronze pivot doors, and could be made of nearly any flat building material.

If you want the best high-end door with the best guarantee, maybe you should think about talking to your architect about having Sing Core inside your pivot door.
