Is there likelihood of “dimpling” on the faces of a steel reinforced door?

A

Is there likelihood of “dimpling” on the faces of a steel reinforced door?

Yes, whenever metals are welded there is significant heat involved, potentially resulting in surface imperfections. Most steel doors have the majority of the welding done on the hinge and lock edges in order to minimize imperfections on the faces.
