Sing Core Door Operation & Maintenance

Materials Overview

Sing Core manufactures door blanks made exclusively using patented Sing Core and patent-pending Sing warp-free stiffeners to create door blanks which are paint grade, or surfaced with any available flat surface building material, such as any available wood species, aluminum, brass, cold rolled steel, concrete, copper, diamond plate steel, fiberglass, FRP, galvanized steel, hot rolled steel, Kevlar, LVL, MDF, and stainless steel, just to name a few.

Receipt of Sing Door Blanks

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.

Acclimatization

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.

Door Storage

After you’ve received your patented Sing products, if you will have to store them prior to finishing and/or installation, try to store them standing upright, on edge, with plenty of space in between, to allow air flow. Do not lean them against a wall. If you must 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.

Fabricating

Note: Use protective eyewear such as goggles or safety glasses, cover your nose and mouth with a filter mask when cutting Standard Sing Core Insulated Reinforced Torsion Box Sliding Door Blank w/Stiffeners Door Blanks. Always position the panel so the saw blades enter the exterior side first to avoid chipping and damage.
Any drilled holes or cut-outs must also be filled and sealed with an approved sealer to maintain the original panel warranty.
