Suitable Hardware

A solid core door can be installed in either a hollow metal frame or formed aluminum frame, and it may be mounted with electrified mortise locks, electrified panic hardware (with surface or concealed vertical rods), and magnetic locks. These are the most common options. However, you can use other types of hardware depending on your project or client’s preferences.
