Standard-sized Doors for Retail

You asked for it, and Sing Core delivers, and as always, goes the extra mile.

For years, Sing Core has been providing the most exclusive solutions for large high-end door manufacturing, made available to only the best custom door manufacturers and millworks. Since we started supporting the door industry rarely does a day go by when we aren’t dealing with many requests for standard-sized doors for retail installations.

Unfortunately, since our factory is only set up for one-off custom large doors, the cost of making a standard-sized door with Sing Core inside is just too cost prohibitive, except in the most high-end jobs with a large budget for architectural doors. That is, until now.

Introducing Retail-ready 3-0 x 7-0 Sing Doors

Financed by our success of building high precision Eco-friendly one-of-a-kind warp-free doors that can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist or otherwise fail for 50 years (no other door company in the world can do that without having Sing Core inside), we have created a new division at our factory to build standard-sized 3-0 x 7-0 doors with Sing Core inside.

These warp-free flush doors are priced to sell, so that you can now provide the best doors to your retail clientele featuring Sing Core inside at a price point that is attractive and affordable.

Priced for Retail Kick-off Event

We are kicking off this new line of retail-ready doors in the most requested size: 3-0 x 7-0 doors, available for either interior or exterior applications. You also get to choose from paint grade, veneer, or natural wood stave Sing flush doors starting at $xx.xx each, with no minimum order.

Standard lite cut outs are available (8 styles to choose from). Doors with window openings cut require a 10 piece per cut out design minimum order.

Strongest Lightest Weight Doors in the World

Kick My Door

As we kick off this event, inventor Peter Sing invites you to kick his door, which is so strong, “You will break your leg before you crash my core.”

Sing Core is renowned world-wide as the only way to build a lightweight door using high precision (+/- .006 in. tolerance) core material which is stronger than steel pound for pound (660 PSI) for building doors that can be guaranteed not to warp or fail.

Note: Kick doors with Sing Core inside at your own risk.

Ready to Ship Unfinished Doors to You

As always, Sing Core does not finish, provide hardware, or pre-hang doors. Prices are for unfinished door slabs only.

To sweeten the deal even more, we will ship to your company direct. Sing custom doors are only shipped to millworks and custom door manufacturers only, because finishing and creating the ultimate warp-free door depends highly on the craftsmen who create the finished product.

Since these are standard 3-0 x 7-0 sized doors, there is plenty of hardware and retail-ready framing material available over-the-counter, so these doors do not require the same attention to details as our custom-sized doors. The only thing is, we need to trust your skills in finishing the door.

5-year Warp-free Guarantee

Assuming the door is adequately sealed and finished, Sing Core guarantees every one of these doors, both interior and exterior doors, to remain warp-free for 5 years, including full structure warranty.

Now you can order with confidence and at special retail-ready pricing your choice of 3-0 x 7-0 doors with Sing Core inside.

Standard 3-0 x 7-0 Door Specs

General Specifications

Standard Sing Core 3 0 7 0 doors are manufactured with patented Sing Core material as the base interior substrate of the door. The Sing Core substrate material is created using a vertical grain natural wood torsion box design while the traditionally empty voids are filled wall to wall with recycled foam. The standard foam material is recycled rigid EPS foam. A 10-inch natural wood lock block is positioned centered at 37 inches for door knob and locking mechanism placement on both sides of the door. The core material is wood framed by 2-inch natural wood for finishing strength and attaching hardware. The torsion box is completed by adhering an exterior surface material (skin) in your choice of paint grade (Birch ply), wood veneer(s), or natural wood stave. Bonding agent used in adhesion of the entire composite material is formaldehyde-free.

About Sing Core

SingCore panels are engineered with a lightweight, insulated, vertical grain tension box core. Then two skins are adhered to create a panel that’s lighter, stronger, and warp-resistant. Because the strength off our core doesn’t rely on wood, which is a naturally warping material, SingCore panels have a 50 year warp-free guarantee; the only one offered in the industry.

Additionally, SingCore panels are completely customizable, making them perfect for any project.

 

Dimensions

  • Length and Height are based upon your specifications to fit your project’s needs. We can also custom manufacture your panel’s grade, core grid size, skin type, edging, trimming, internal blocking, and thickness. However, the minimum thickness is 3/4″. There is no maximum thickness!

Edging

  • You can order Sing panels with open or closed edges. Ordering your Sing panels with open edges is useful if you intend to work with the panel post-manufacturing. If you prefer closed edges, the skin material will be pressed and glued over a solid wood frame. Unless specified otherwise, edging is 1.25″ solid birch.

Skin Options

  • We provide many different skin options to fit any of your construction needs. This includes Birch, MDF, Mahogany, Fir, Cedar, and even metals like Galvanized Steel. See images of example door skins on our Galleries page.

Trimming

  • Unless otherwise specified, all of our panels are shipped untrimmed. If you need a clean, finished panel on arrival, simply specify in your order. Open edged panels will always include trimmed edges.


Other Specifications: Internal Blocking and Embedded Chases

Many custom projects require specific hardware to be installed in our panels post-production. Therefore, we offer additional wood blocking anywhere within the panel. However, increased amounts of internal wood blocking will increase the weight and the likelihood of warping since wood tends to warp over time.

Custom Sing Panels can be manufactured to your architectural specifications, which may include special chases for plumbers to route hot and cold water feeds or electricians to run electrical wiring through. Since every Sing panel is custom manufactured, we can have your wire chase or plumbing pre-installed within your panels at any specified location.

For any special customization you need for your project, please provide us with detailed specifications and drawings so we can be sure to give you the product that you need!

4×8 Slat Wall Trade Show Display Walls

One of the most popular requests we receive for custom slat wall trade show displays is our large 4×8 ft. display wall.  Note, we have half-height slat wall panels featured in our Modular Trade Show Systems.  Our panels are the highest strength, lightest weight, and most visually appealing on the market.  Customers have reported our panels to be 50% or more lightweight than any other panels they have purchased.  Also, it is usual that our slat wall panels are the most versatile option on the market for your trade show needs.

When it comes to slat walls, the possibilities are endless.  You can put your hooks in the panels in any configuration you would like, thus, you can feature a limitless number of products on your displays.

Super High Strength Light Weight Slat Wall Panels

Weighing only 72.0 pounds; our slat wall panels can be lifted and transported with ease by just two men.

Our panels are ultra high strength and super light weight, allowing them to be used for many more shows than slat wall panels made by anyone else.  As you can see, our panel only weighs 72 pounds.

This full-sized Sing Core slat wall panel is 9 ft. tall, 4 ft. wide, and 2 in. thick with 6 in. slat wall slots.  Each slat wall panel features slats on both sides of the wall without compromising the Sing Core panel’s strength.

Slat Wall Display Problems

The challenge for slat wall displays is the issue of weight, strength, and maintaining displays that are perfectly straight, or non warping, so the trade show panels will last for many uses.  If the panels are too heavy, they will be very difficult to transport and assemble.  You will spend more money on shipping and transport fees.  Moreover, you will have a very tough time setting up your panels.   Many panels on the market today are not durable.  Our panels will last you well over 50 shows, meaning the price of the panels will pay for themselves over and over, throughout the life of the product, saving you a great deal of time and money in the long run.  Most slat wall panels are made of particle board, meaning they are heavy and weak, not stable at all.

Slat Wall Display Solutions

We have solved all of the problems associated with slat wall displays.  Our patented methods have allowed us to build your slat wall panels to be much lighter and stronger than panels made by anyone else.  This means you will have a much easier time assembling and transporting our panels.  We realize, one of the most difficult things about trade shows is the difficulty of assembling and disassembling your displays.  If the panels are too heavy to assemble yourself, you will utilize a great deal of money hiring people to do it.  That is why we make panels that are lighter and stronger.  Our panels do not contain particle board, which means they are stronger lighter in weight, and more versatile.  Our panels are easier to assemble and disassemble. They use our patented and patent pending technology, the same technology used in our award winning trade show panels.

Slat Wall Display White Formica Aluminum Slat Wall

Here are our standard 90″ x 36″ Sing Core slat wall panels in a beautiful white formica.  Sing Core slat wall panels weight a fraction of the weight of other slat wall panels, are eco-friendly, high strength, and guaranteed to not warp, bend, twist, or structurally fail for up to 10 years, even with regular or repeated use over time.

Amazing Slat Wall System Better than Any Other

Sing Core has specially designed our aluminum feet to work with our system better than any other system available on the market.  This allows our panels to be light weight and ultra high strength.  They are more versatile than any other panel on the market.  You also have your choice between white slat wall inserts and aluminum slat wall inserts as a premium upgrade.

Aluminum-Slat-Inserts-Small

Beautiful Aluminum Slat Wall Inserts Available as an Upgrade

Ask us about our aluminum slat wall inserts!  Aluminum inserts are available as an upgrade, but they are so beautiful.  Many customers simply love these!

The best part of these slat wall panels is that you don’t need any special equipment to assemble it. Our slat wall panels lock together with cam-lock technology. The only tool that you will need is an Allen wrench. See the video above to see how easy it is to construct these displays.

1. Paint Grade Door

2. Wood Grain and Wood Stave Door

3. Hardwood Plywood Door

1 Paint Grade Door

Our most popular door blanks are paint grade, and can be made to your specs including surface materials of,

  • Birch ply (most common)
  • Wood plywood
  • MDO
  • HPL
  • Other material, as specified

 

2 Wood Grain and Wood Stave Door

Besides paint grade for the surface, we also provide solid wood stave laminate on both sides of the sliding door. Wood stave is easy to work with and will last. Your Sing wood stave door will be more high precision than solid wood door (less warping, and twist and crack) due to Sing Core’s extremely high tolerance (+/- .006 inch) and, rigidity and high strength (660+ PSI) and professional grade wood grain and wood stave doors are certified and guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Sing Core provides hot-press ready door blanks to door manufacturers who add wood veneer on both sides of Sing door blanks which are made of Luan skin or marine grade plywood sandwich with patented Sing Core in the middle, solid wood around 4 edges and wood block implants where needed for hardware.

oversize-panel-edge-glued-together-planks-5ftx10ft Sing-Hardwood-Panels-Variety

Note: Veneer has to be handled very carefully every step of the way during production (we prefer to let the millworks handle this delicate procedure) and it is easy to damage by users over the years (but wood stave can be easily sanded and repaired).

We offer a very good price for wood stave doors, the cost is not much more than wood veneer doors.

3 Hardwood Plywood Door

We could make door with hardwood plywood as an effective way to make super large doors that you can stain any color. Up to 4×8 doors have no seam, but by orienting the grain horizontally, you can achieve a nearly seamless presentation on really big doors or extraordinary size.

Available in any available wood species, most common are Sapele, Oak, and Maple ply.

Sing Hardwood ply door has excellent strength, yet is lightweight, features good insulation and better sound deadening qualities than solid wood plank doors.

The Only 50 Year Non-warp and Structure Guarantee

When you spend $10,000 to $100,000 on a door and it warps, can you fix it? No.

It may be a beautifully and skillfully handmade door, but if it is warped, it fails to function as a door to any level of satisfaction.

These expensive doors are made with solid materials or core substrate material which is the weakest link. The core of the door determines the weight, strength, and long term performance of the door. Only doors with patented and patent-pending Sing Core technology inside can be guaranteed not to warp or fail regardless of size, exterior surface material used, or style of door for 50 years.

“We’ve switched from using LVL door core to Sing Core and no longer have to worry about warped doors.”

While LVL and wood-based door cores are fine for standard sized doors, these are not practical for large doors because they increase the weight of the door significantly making it more apt to fail, expensive to handle, maintain, and even potentially dangerous.

This is why the top door companies, millworks, and custom door manufacturers rely on Sing Core delivering the best door substrate enabling them to warranty wooden and large doors.

Would you settle for a 1-year warranty?

Most doors come with the standard 1 year warranty (large doors may only carry a 30-day warranty, or more commonly, are exempt from any warranty at all) because, as is well known and they say in the industry,

“All large size wood doors warp,”

unless they have Sing Core inside.

Sing Core: The Secret to Building Warp-Free, Large Pivot Door

A 50-Year Pivot Door Guarantee That Stands Out

If you’re an architect or designer working on a large pivot door, always ask about the warranty. Most companies only offer a one-year guarantee, especially excluding large pivot doors because they often warp. Why risk it? Sing Core offers a 50-year warp-free guarantee, so you don’t have to worry. Instead of stressing over warping issues, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your door will stay flawless for decades.

If your door manufacturer doesn’t offer this kind of warranty, specify that your door must have “Sing Core inside.” With Sing Core, your door is not only impressive but built to last as long as your home does.

Building a Warp-Free, Large Pivot Door

Pivot doors are stunning features in high-end homes. However, their large size and lack of side hinges present challenges. Keeping these doors warp-free is critical. Without side hinges to stabilize them, pivot doors must be designed to withstand daily use. Traditional large doors, made with wood cores or wall-like frames, tend to warp. A wall can’t handle the same impact as a door—so why build a door like a wall?

 

Sing Core Pivot Doors

Sing Core Pivot Doors

 

Why Pivot Doors Warp and Fail Over Time

Large pivot doors are especially prone to warping. Natural materials like wood shift due to changes in temperature and humidity. This makes it difficult for conventional doors to stay perfectly straight, especially over time. If a door frame is built like a wall, it will eventually fail. Doors face more stress than static walls. Without the right reinforcement, these doors start to sag, warp, or break down from daily use.

How Sing Core Revolutionizes Pivot Door Design

Sing Core is the game-changer. This patented technology turns pivot doors into high-performance works of art. Architects and door manufacturers across the U.S. choose Sing Core not just for its 50-year warp-free guarantee but for its precision. With a tolerance of ±0.006 inches, Sing Core is one of the most accurate materials in the composite industry.

But precision isn’t its only strength. Sing Core also boasts 660+ PSI, making it stronger than steel pound-for-pound. Its lightweight strength keeps large pivot doors straight and stable, even in extreme conditions. The result? A stunning, warp-resistant door that’s easy to use and beautiful to look at.

Luxury Homes Demand Perfect Pivot Doors

In a luxury home, every detail matters. When you invest millions, the front pivot door—the focal point of the property—should reflect that. A custom-designed pivot door makes a bold statement, welcoming guests and enhancing curb appeal. With Sing Core inside, your front door will not only look stunning but remain flawless for 50 years, free from warping or sagging.

High-end architects and developers are embracing the trend of designing large pivot doors for dramatic entrances. The bigger the door, the more impressive it looks. Real estate developers know these grand entryways boost a home’s value and attract buyers with their striking curb appeal.

Pivot Door Styles: More Than Just a Center Pivot

Pivot doors often have a center pivot, but it’s not the only option. While a centered pivot gives a 50% opening, moving the pivot closer to one edge creates more access on one side. For maximum clearance, you can even opt for an edge-pivot door, which works like a traditional hinge door.

A great example is the 10×12 double pivot doors at the Center for Architecture & Design in Seattle. Each door is 12 feet wide and 5 inches thick, opening to reveal 23 feet of access. These doors also include a man door for daily use, so you don’t need to open the full pivot door every time.

Creating Floor-to-Ceiling Pivot Doors

Large pivot doors aren’t limited by size. They can span from floor to ceiling and be customized to any width or thickness. In modern homes, many designers are pushing the limits with pivot sliding doors. These doors combine pivoting and sliding hardware, creating accordion-style panels that separate or combine spaces effortlessly. Pivot sliding doors are perfect for open-plan living areas, offering flexibility to transform rooms into one large, connected space.

 

 

What Makes Sing Core Pivot Doors Unique?

With Sing Core inside, you can design pivot doors using materials that would otherwise be too heavy or prone to warping. Common materials include:

  • Metal: Aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanized steel
  • Natural woods: Mahogany, walnut, cedar, or exotic species
  • Stone: Marble, granite, or sandstone
  • Concrete: Ideal for modern industrial designs

Thanks to Sing Core’s lightweight structure, these heavy materials can be used without sacrificing performance.

The Lightweight Solution for Heavy Pivot Doors

The problem with large pivot doors isn’t just warping—it’s weight. Heavy doors put strain on hardware and can even damage the surrounding structure. Over time, this can lead to costly repairs and constant maintenance to keep the hardware and frame intact.

Sing Core solves this with its strong yet lightweight core. The torsion box design keeps the door solid and rigid without extra weight. The interior grid is also filled with rigid insulation, enhancing soundproofing and boosting energy efficiency with added R-value.
