DKS 18-Gauge Galvanized Steel Flush 6-Panel Doors – 1700 Series

DKS 1700 Series 18-Gauge Galvanized Steel 6-Panel Doors Our 1700 Series six-panel doors combine a defined panel appearance with 18-gauge galvanized steel construction and a full-body polystyrene core. The non-handed design, reinforced hardware locations, and factory-applied grey epoxy primer make this series a practical choice for coordinated commercial door openings. Practical Uses Commercial interiors: Choose our six-panel design for offices, corridors, and other openings where a plain flush door is not the desired look. Replacement projects: Match the required door size and hardware preparation to the existing frame and approved hardware schedule. Sound-rated openings: Our standard 18-gauge 1700 Series has an STC rating of 28. STC 32 applies to the separately specified Model 32-1700, not every 1700 Series selection. Everyday example: For an office renovation, confirm the opening dimensions and lock preparation before ordering, then coordinate the hinges, closer, and frame so your new six-panel door provides the appearance you want with hardware that fits correctly. Fit and Preparation Our product guide covers 18-gauge 3068, 3070, and 3080 doors with preparation choices that vary by size. Confirm your exact configuration and availability with us before ordering. These are series reference options, not a statement that every combination is included in this listing. Size coordination: Verify door dimensions, frame opening, finished floor, threshold, and undercut. Handing: Our 1700 Series uses a non-handed design. Coordinate the final swing and hardware arrangement with the opening. C: Cylindrical lock preparation. MB: Mortise blank preparation. BR: Blank reinforced preparation. C/DL: Cylindrical lock with deadlock. Our guide includes 4-inch and 5-1/2-inch center-to-center configurations for applicable sizes; verify the selected preparation. CA-ADA preparations: Confirm the specified hardware locations against your project requirements. Hardware coordination: Match hinge locations, lock templates, strike preparation, and closer mounting to the approved hardware schedule. Special configurations: Our June 2025 guide identifies STC 32 doors as non-stock, special factory orders with a stated 13-week allowance. Confirm current lead time before ordering that configuration. Not sure which swing you need? View our door and frame handing diagram (PDF) before coordinating the frame and hardware. Hinge Locations by Door Size Our Door Hinge Cross Reference Chart gives the following dimensions for the standard DKS location pattern. Dimensions are in inches, referenced from the top of the door as illustrated in our chart. A, B, C, and D identify successive hinge locations. Match the drawing's measurement points and verify the selected location pattern before comparing an existing door or frame. 3068: A = 7-3/8 inches; B = 37-5/16 inches; C = 67-1/4 inches. 3070: A = 7-3/8 inches; B = 39-5/16 inches; C = 71-1/4 inches. 3080: A = 7-3/8 inches; B = 32-11/16 inches; C = 58 inches; D = 83-5/16 inches. View our hardware-location reference drawing (PDF). Coordinate lock locations with the selected preparation and approved hardware template; do not substitute hinge measurements for lock centerlines. Installation Guidance Install our doors only in a frame that is plumb, level, square, securely anchored, and correctly sized. Support the door while hanging it, use the specified hinge fasteners, and check for a free swing and proper latch engagement before adjusting the closer. Protect the door from moisture and jobsite damage, and keep labels visible. For labeled openings, verify the supplied door label and compatible frame and hardware, and follow our installation instructions before making field modifications. Problems It Helps Address Plain-door appearance: Our six-panel design provides a defined architectural appearance. Hardware mounting needs: Dedicated hinge and closer reinforcements provide prepared mounting locations for compatible hardware. Visible edge seams: Seamless filled edges and continuous laser welding on both edges provide a clean edge appearance. Ordering mismatches: Multiple preparation families let you coordinate the door with your intended hardware when the correct configuration is selected.
