One Machine Does it All
The EFX Commercial Door machine combines the functionality of the Face SS and Edge SS into one space saving package. Designed for the commercial door distributor, it offers CNC precision and Kval innovation in a single, purpose-built machine.
Designed specifically for the Commercial and Architectural Door Distributor; architectural hardware templates including hinges, mortise locks, card locks, exit devices, overhead closers, door bottoms, and flushbolts can be easily programmed and machined without any knowledge of G-Code or other programming languages.
The EFX processes doors up to 4'×9' and 2¼" in thickness with a production capacity of 60-100 architectural doors per shift, depending on individual hardware complexity needs; it can complete a door with three 4½" squared hinges (including pilot holes) and a commercial cylinder lock in under 3½ minutes, door-to-door.
It’s the perfect option for machining the highest quality commercial doors in a small footprint without breaking the bank!

Hardware on the Cutting Edge
Speed
Seven different router motors for face and edge machining allow the EFX to complete all door templates without wasting machine time for tool changes. A 12 HP hogging router provides fast, clean, and accurate machining of mortise pockets and overhead closers.
Accuracy
Corner chisels and a pre-drill motor for pilot holes guarantee that hinges and faceplates are perfectly completed without additional manual labor. RH and LH routers combine to eliminate chip out in hinges and open lip hardware. The EFX provides the most accurate and clean cuts every time.
Standard Tooling
Standard tooling described below. Tool style and size can be changed to accomplish nearly any door prep.
Edge
-
Corner Chisels: 4 L-Shaped Sets
Each chisel has its own easy and accurate calibration.
Servo depth also individually calibrated – no drag marks and clean corners every time.
-
1.5 HP Pilot Hole Drill: 5⁄32" diameter
-
3 HP Righthand Rotation Router: ⅝" diameter
Efficient and clean machining of hinges and face plates.
-
3 HP Lefthand Rotation Router: ½" diameter
Eliminates chip out with relief cuts and machines ¼” radius face plates.
-
12 HP Deep Mortise Hogging Motor: ⅞" diameter
Face
-
3 HP Face Router: ⅝" diameter
Precise holes over ¾" in diameter.
-
2 HP Router: 5⁄16" diameter drill bit
-
3 HP Face Router: ⅜" diameter
Function holes ⅜" to ¾" in diameter.
Customers can easily switch between different bit types and diameters, KvalCAM automatically updates the machine code with the correct tool settings.
A Higher Standard
The EFX's standard configuration is detailed below, however tooling style and size can be controlled by the user. KvalCAM® automates the programming and tool path generation. New programs and tooling changes can be done easily without assistance from Kval. KvalCAM® software and user training are included in the purchase price.
- Left-hand and Right-hand rotating high-frequency spindles are provided for edge work. This prevents any tear-out when exiting the face surface of the door.
- A 12 HP hogging router with a ⅞" diameter solid carbide bit allows for fast and accurate machining of deep mortise pockets on all edges of the door.
- Three spindles are provided for face detailing in the lock zone for through-bolts, cylinder bores, and function holes. If required, KvalCAM will prompt the operator to flip the door and even provide an animation to help the operator with orientation.
- Corner chisels and a separate pre-drilling spindle are provided for edge work, so that the door does not require any manual finishing.
- All tower movements are handled by heavy-duty rack and pinion or ball-screw systems for high speed and accuracy.
KvalCAM® Will Supercharge Your Production
Our expert Software Engineers developed the KvalCAM platform to empower our customers to easily create custom templates and doors without knowledge of G-Code or other programming languages. Hardware templates can be created, saved, and modified by simply defining the shapes and locations of lock holes, hinges, faceplates, and other hardware.
Massive Library
Saved door features—selected from the pre-built library or your own custom templates—can be quickly loaded to create a complete door job that includes all edge work and lock face holes.
Powerful Templating
The G-Code that controls the machine's hardware is automatically generated by KvalCAM based on the tools available in the line: our software can control multiple machines used in combination, e.g. the DL-NCD Door Light Cutter can be combined with the EFX to increase production and utilize the KvalCAM templates.
Connected Infrastructure
Software can be utilized on office computers and at the EFX machine to connect to the same database, allowing off-line programming, hardware optimization, and library management.
Flexible Integration
KvalCAM includes a built-in REST API that can be leveraged to generate template files and perform myriad other tasks, e.g. incorporating a barcode system to automate door job creation.
