Door Construction Options
Edge treatments, seam types, core options, and end cap configurations that affect how your door looks, performs, and integrates with its frame.
Understanding door construction options helps you specify the right product for your application. These choices affect the door's appearance at the edge, the seam between face sheets, and the internal structure that determines strength and fire performance.
Edge Options
Butted, hemmed, and beveled edge profiles — each with different aesthetics and performance characteristics at the door edge.
Seam Options
Seamed (visible top and bottom seams) and seamless/Bondo edge treatments — each appropriate for different applications and finishes.
End Caps
Inverted and flush top and bottom channel end cap configurations for different aesthetic and functional requirements.
Core Options
Honeycomb, polystyrene, polyurethane, and mineral board cores — selected based on fire rating, thermal, and structural requirements.
Bevel & Undercut
Standard 1/8" per foot bevel on lock edge; undercut options from 3/4" to 2" for clearance above flooring.
Face Sheet Gauges
20, 18, 16, and 14 GA face sheet options — heavier gauge for high-traffic or impact-prone openings.
