Why Sing Panels and Norse Latches?
Sing Panels weigh a fraction of the weight of stick frame walls, plus they will stand straight and remain true flat along the entire projects. If you torque a cam locked series of wall panels made any other way, you could break the cam locks with heavy panels compromising the entire structure.
High Precision
With the extremely high precision of patented Sing Core (within .006 inch) you can build the most high precision wall system and connect them securely with Norse Latches.

Stronger than Steel
Due to the patented insulated torsion box composite core, Sing panels have a compression strength of 660 PSI; that’s stronger than steel pound for pound.
This results in the perfect union, Sing Core and Norse Latches, to build the most effective high-precision, lightweight, high strength panel wall system.

No Special Tools for Assembly
We and our clients who use the Norse cam lock devices are so excited about being able to assemble incredibly large trade show displays in very little time without requiring skilled labor or special tools.
In fact, the only tool necessary to assemble our modular trade show display components is an Allen wrench.
All of this is possible thanks to the cam lock technology by our friends at Norse, Inc.
Sing Panels can come with optional cam lock installation for quick and easy panel assembly using cam lock fasteners embedded within for reinforced sip construction is one of the many ways to join Sing Panels.
Each patented reinforced structural insulated panel can have the necessary cam lock fittings pre-installed for rapid set-up and tear-down of your temporary walls.
The cam latch is and effective use of camlocks for use in these Eco-friendly panels that are the lightest weight and highest strength of modular cam lock panel available that can be fully guaranteed to be true flat and stay flat for 50 years without fail.

What is a Cam Lock?
A cam lock is a device that is embedded at precise locations alongside the edges of our patented reinforced structural insulated panel. The cam lock fasteners come in pairs; a male cam lock latch and a female cam lock receptacle.
Two panels can be placed side by side and with a simple turn of a cam lock key or Allen wrench, the cam lock latch grasps the opposing cam lock pin and pulls the panel in tight for secure cam lock coupling. See: Cam Lock Panels with Cam Locks by Norse.
How to Install a Cam Lock
Most of the high end millworks that we supply our reinforced structural insulated panels to (see clients list) install the each camlock in their woodworking shop.
Sing Core offers pre-installation of cam locks to our clients’ specifications. Standard sized cam lock panels have two cam locks installed; one at the top and one at the bottom of the panel. The two cam lock design is most common for trade show panels.
Museums, on the other hand, may use much larger panels with either three cam locks installed; top and bottom with another cam lock installed in the middle, while others specify that the center cam lock be replaced with a small biscuit-style joint.
Though we do not design cam lock panels, we do build them to your specifications.
Trade Show Cam Lock Panels
By far, the most popular use of our reinforced structural insulated panel is in the trade show industry. The demand for our cam lock Sing Panel is growing because unlike other panels available on the market today, our patented insulated torsion box structure offers the following benefits:
Lightweight
High strength
Sound deadening
Any size or configuration
Any exterior material
Reduced cost for shipping and handling
Fast construction / disassembly
Can be guaranteed flat for 50 years
Eco-friendly
Our cam lock panel has the best high performance cam lock parts to deliver the cam lock power that our clients expect. Regardless of your cam lock expectations or desires, our panels can be completely customized to meet your specifications.
Any type or style of cam lock can be specified for installation into your Sing cam lock panels.
The simplest and least expensive way to join sing panels is to join in any way according to your budget and/or expertise.
Due to Sing Panels being so straight and true it is easier to join panels together because they line up perfectly unlike other building materials.
In many cases, for instance, standard 4×8 panels can be nailed, glued or channel-joined quickly and easily with satisfactory results.
Other options for fastening panels may include cam locks (see examples left and right) that can be pre-installed, making assembly and joining easy and more secure.
The Sing cam-lock panel solution is a high-demand solution for panels that are routinely assembled and disassembled, especially in moveable walls, trade show booths, and various wall cladding applications.
Thru-bolt Joining
One of the most inexpensive and secure ways to join sing panels is by utilizing a simple nut and bolt connection method, especially, if the panels will be routinely or repeatedly assembled and disassembled.
Stainless steel nuts and bolts offer the safety and security when joining sing panels.
Biscuit Joining
In many cases, Sing Panels can be pre-configured for biscuit joining at your site of factory.
Especially for large projects, this enables Sing Core panels to be sent individually, reducing shipping and handling costs, for assembly at your facility or job site.
See images below for example of biscuit assembly of Sing Panels

Unless specified Sing Panels do not ship edge-banded as 93% of our wholesale customers do their own edge-banding when finishing their Sing Panel.
Edge banding can take many forms from vinyl and plastic to wood and steel. Sing Panels are not intended for use as an un-banded product and may not qualify for our 50 year warranty if un-banded.
If your intention is to get the best, most long-lasting performance from your Sing Panels, feel free to take advantage of our free consultation to be guaranteed to achieve the results that you desire.

Advanced Large Panels
Sing Core specializes in extremely large panels (up to 50 feet) that are extremely true flat and use our nearly seamless assembly process.
This is the most high-end and expensive process where we perform the highly specialized meticulous work in our factory yielding the high level of perfection that many of our most discerning clients require. See: our clients.
These must be manufactured in our plant to ensure accuracy with tolerances within thousandths of an inch and are more costly to ship due to the nature of their being larger than multiple panels that can be assembled on-site.
Connectors for Connecting
Cam-Locks
One of our many features is the ability to add fasteners/locks to our panels…one example of this is the “S-Hook Lock” with a turn of the hex wrench you can fasten or unfasten your panels quickly.
The “S-Hook” fastening lock that is attached to the side of these panels to allow for easy assembly of the wall system.
With a quick turn of your wrist on the hex key your panels will be attached to each other.
Barn Door Assembly or ‘H’ Channel
If you are planning to keep your panels as a permanent structure you may choose the H-Channel attachment feature. Apply your adhesive the slide panel into the channel on each side then either veneer over the panel and channel or you may choose to putty, sand and paint your panels to cover over the H-channel.
Tongue and Groove
Tongue and groove is another fastening choice especially if you using our panels for flooring or ceiling. Make a nice almost seamless connection but give wood veneer a hardwood flooring appearance.
Biscuit Joint
This is a modified biscuit joint attachment. Similar to the H-joint the you are using a single long “beam” as the connector and gluing them together. Best use is for oversize tables (such as vacuum tables) and oversize doors as well. Because our panels are made of honeycomb rather than solid wood, they will not warp. Our honeycomb is light and strong.
Ship Lap
The ever popular ship lap as a connector alternative.
