No one can do what we do.

For those who are not familiar with pivot doors-

Instead of the doors motion being controlled by traditional hinges, a pivot-hung door swings on a set of pins mounted in the top and bottom. The pivot door rotates on a pivot box in the floor and the top jamb rather than traditional door side hinges. This creates an elegant masterpiece that rotates effortlessly and usually no hardware is visible, except for the handle of course.

 

Pivot doors have many uses and can come in many different sizes. It is most popular to have over sized pivot doors that provide generous openings, but it is not necessary.

Breaking News: Thin Doors Need Strength Too

Breaking News: Thin Doors Need Strength Too!

Sing Core has always been on the leading edge of the reinforced structural panel industry.

Our panels are among the lightest, strongest, and overall best on the market.

Watch the video below and hear how solid our doors really are.
 



This panel is super thin for its overall span. Overall thickness is only 1 3/4″. Our patented torsion box honeycomb allows us to create lightweight high strength panels that can be any size without any warping. Solid wood would be very heavy and can potentially warp shortly after being produced. This panel is a whopping 65 1/2″ x 120″ and only weighs 139.6 lbs.!

As you can see, the skin is birch plywood that is less than 1/8″ thick. Combined with our torsion box honeycomb design, this panel will be stable and remain rigid for many years.
Due to this panel being truly flat, it can stand alone on edge. If there was any deflection, the panel would be unable to balance.

Thin oversized panel standing on edge. 

 

Can any anyone else achieve this?

 

 

Let us know!
If not, share this with a friend who may need our patented technology.

 

<tbody=”border: none;”>

A door with these dimensions is greatly feared by many door manufacturers. A door like this is nearly impossible to build without having issues. Common issues with doors so large and so thin include warping, delamination, prevalent weak points, and many others. If this were produced with solid wood, the door would be unable to stand alone due to not being true flat. Sing Core’s true flat doors and panels comply with AWI standards and can stand alone.

Sing Core’s patented lightweight and high strength torsion box honeycomb core design makes building oversized doors easy and provides lasting strength and durability. We know our doors and panels are among the lightest and strongest on the market, so we guarantee every door and panel for 50 years!

We never do veneering in house. We only trust local professionals for veneering services. Sing Core only provides substrate to be veneered. We highly recommend using your local veneering professionals. Veneering requires highly trained professionals to ensure a quality finished product.

Our substrate with MDF is very good for hot pressing as well as preventing telegraphing in the outer skin. This is the best option for ensuring a quality veneered door panel. With Sing Core substrate and 1/8″ MDF, no cross-banding is required. MDF is a very stable substrate to use.

For other applications, plywood is very strong and provides the best dimensional stability. This is the best option for applying overlays, such as wood staves, drywall, concrete board, etc… We offer many different plywood options, see our skin type page for more information.

The stylistic approach to pivot front entry doors not only lends itself to modern style doors or contemporary pivot door design as you might expect, because Sing pivot door blank can be individually stylized to take on any classic door appearance.

Exterior pivot doors can create problems for owners as they are often exposed to the elements on one side, while the other side faces a climate-controlled interior. In a sense, this crates the perfect storm, where the result is the warping of your pivoting front entry doors, which could render them inoperable.

The bigger your large panels and pivoting doors, the greater the degree of warp and the more challenging a solution would be, especially if you’re facing problems associated with modern pivot wooden doors which are the bane of the large pivot door industry, because natural wood moves.

Sing Core’s patented and patented-pending technologies help to create a hybrid solid core perfectly matched for the surface materials and counter-act any tendency of the pivot door’s exterior to move. It’s quite a science based on Sing’s original reinforced torsion box core entrusted to Sing’s True Flat Team.

You can be are creative as you can allowing your imagination to expand, enabling you to bring your dream pivot entrance door to life, for the ultimate custom pivot entry door.

Now, you can have an Eco-friendly pivot energy-saving exterior wooden entry door, that is fully insulated, lightweight, stronger than steel pound for pound, and can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, cup, or otherwise fail for 50 years.

Let there be no mistake, Sing absolutely guarantees each and every one of his pivot doors, entrance doors, and pivoting doors which have been designed and built to last for centuries, but he personally guarantees for 50 years. These are considered the highest quality pivot entry and front doors. No other equivalent door can make such claims unless it has Sing Core inside.

So how do you go about getting Sing’s pivot doors, entrance doors and entry doors?

For you, the process is easy, just contact your local custom door builder, millwork, or pivot door company, giving them the dimensions of the door your opening you would like to fill along with the height, width, and thickness of the door. Have a good idea of what kind of pivot front entry doors you want. Will you need glass openings? What do you want the surface material to be?

If you’ve given your supplier this information, next you want to remember to say that you want, “Sing Core inside,” and we will work in tandem with your pivot door manufacturer to build the best pivot front entry doors guaranteed for 50 years.
