The Total Door system, with it's full height, semi-concealed hinge and full height locking channel, has an inherent design that provides high abuse resistance, extended life, unparalleled security and reduced maintenance. All operating hardware is factory installed with single source responsibility. Doors are fully code-compliant without the need of vertical rod panic devices, astragals, coordinators, floor strikes or flush bolts.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
TOTAL DOOR is an architectural grade fire door system. It includes primed or pre-finished door panels, factory installed door hardware and field installation. The continuous locking channel has an I-beam shape that securely locks the door along its full height. It cocks at an angle when open and snaps shut over the full-length latch stop when closed. It provides exceptional security on single doors and eliminates vertical rods, floor hardware, coordinators, astragals and flush bolts on pairs and double egress fire doors.
TOTAL DOOR FEATURES
Continuous semi-concealed hinge retrofits easily to any existing frame or to virtually any flat surface and there are no projecting knuckles. 3-hour rated pairs can be installed in standard rabbeted or cased frames, completely eliminating the need for triple step frames for double egress. A TOTAL DOOR double egress door can even be retrofitted into a standard pair frame. Our exclusive dual pivot point semi-wide throw hinge allows the door to open a full 180 degrees and gives greater clear width.
Locking channel and hinge require no templating and uniformly distribute loads to the door and frame, increasing the strength, durability and abuse resistance of the door and frame.
Our standard exit device has a narrow projection (1 5/16") and allows a 32" clear width in a 36" opening. Our new optional Flush Exit Device offers the least projection in the industry with a mere 1/8" projection in the open position.
High pressure laminate, lPC, Wood veneer, Metal door faces and Mirrored stainless steel in colours are available in all labels, including 3 hours, even for pair and double egress fire doors.
Maximum design flexibility. Sound Package provides Extra Quiet operation for auditoriums and meeting rooms. Abuse resistance and low maintenance stand up to heavy use in schools, sports facilities, health care institutions, industrial and institutional settings. Meets all fire-ratings including 3 hour and temperature rise and positive pressure. ADA compliant. Inter-Teck Testing Services certified. 8'-4 3/8" wide pairs for labelled 8'-0" clear opening!

COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
Door bodies are 1 3/4" thick stressed skin structures without point loading.
Skins of 20, 18 or 16 gauge electro-galvanized bonderized stretcher-leveled steel, are continuously bonded to the door core and top and bottom rails; they are welded to latch and hinge stiles.
Latch and hinge stiles are 16 gauge electro-galvanized bonderized steel.
5 3/4" top and bottom solid wood rails provide reinforcement for closers and holders and eliminate the need for through-bolting.
Door cores are polystyrene or 250 degree temperature rise cores.
Locking channel is 18 gauge electro-galvanized bonderized steel. It provides exceptional security on single doors and eliminates the need for vertical rods and other hardware on pairs of doors.   Continuous semi-concealed hinge is 14 gauge electro-galvanized bonderized steel with no projecting hinge knuckles.
Standard Continuous locking channel and hinges are strong enough that they are used without modification on VLR Blast Resistant Doors There are two standard painted finishes available or we can provide a computer-controlled match to the colour design selected by your interior design firm.
