Most doors are an assembly of separate parts: a door, a frame, and hardware from different makers, all expected to work together. The Total Door System is different. It is a fully integrated door and hardware system, engineered and manufactured as one unit, so every component is designed to work together from day one. Piedmont Door Solutions installs and services Total Door systems across the Southeast, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic for facilities that want the cleanest look, the longest service life, and dependable life-safety performance.
What Makes Total Door Different
Total Door is a single engineered system rather than a collection of separate components, and that design delivers real advantages:
- Recessed exit device: the panic hardware sits flush with the door in the open position, giving the lowest projection in the industry and maximizing clear opening width.
- Full-height continuous hinge: integral to the door, with no gaps and no exposed fasteners.
- Full-height latching channel: on pairs, this eliminates the need for floor hardware, coordinators, and surface vertical rods.
- Fewer moving parts: which means longer life, lower life-cycle cost, and less inventory of spare parts to maintain.
- Proven durability: tested to more than five million cycles, well beyond standard industry performance.
The result is a door that performs better, lasts longer, and keeps a clean, uncluttered appearance.
Life Safety, Fire, and Smoke Containment
Total Door systems are engineered for demanding life-safety openings, installed and maintained to code:
- Fire-rated and smoke-containment systems for cross-corridor, stairwell, and elevator lobby and shaft openings.
- Full ADA compliance and BHMA certification.
- Integrated hardware including exit devices, locks, hinges, closers, light kits, and kick plates, all engineered to work as one system.
- Custom design options: nearly any veneer, finish, or architectural face, so the life-safety function blends into the design rather than standing out.
