Some manufacturer's note this on their data sheets, but i can't find a definition or image for what this means. Anyone?

From VT Go to this document...

http://www.vtindustries.com/webres/File/SupaDoors_2018.pdf

At the bottom of page 6 you will see an illustration showing the keyed edge. At the bottom of page 7 you will see an illustration of just this piece. The page 6 illustration shows the installation.

For the best quality of thendoor you would still want to cover the edge with veneer edge banding if it was a natural finish and not painted. Otherwise on a natural fished door you will still see the ends of the veneer which will be a different texture and color than the keyed edge.

Hmm, what were you googling. I have learned that being very literal and making it a question is best (but no punctuation). That’s how I found this. I just put in...

What is a keyed hardwood edge in doors

Just like that. That got me a VT data sheet that talked about it. Not good enough, but close. So I backed up to their main web site and looked at their lititure hoping a catalog would show it, which that one I referenced was the first one that looked likely.
