They can have electrified metal mortise locks, magnetic locks and electrified panic hardware (with concealed or surface mounted vertical rods) installed. These hinges are usually a little wider than solid core doors, so you can run power from the hinge to the mortise locks.
Particleboard or Structural Composite Lumber
A structural composite timber (SCL core) is a very strong material that is made by joining different types wood together. These are a cost-effective, fire-rated option that can be made to conform to specific building regulations.
