KVAL's Architect automatic routing and boring machine for commercial doors up to 2-1/4" x 4' x 10', or up to 1-3/4" x 4' x 10' if through-pocket routing is required.

The machine automatically adjusts to the correct door width, powers the door into position and clamps. The routing sequence begins and then either two, three, or four hinge pockets are routed and a complete cylindrical lock is machined in approximately 20 seconds.

Two AC-driven feed belts and ball bearing support wheels, together with phenolic chip out blocks, guarantee fast, mar-free handling and machining.
