A mounting system for mounting a door for movement adjacent an opening in a wall structure includes a cleat having a central web and two sides, a track plate having a central web and two sides, a track attached to the track plate, and at least one fastener for attaching the cleat to the wall structure. When mounted, the cleat extends lengthwise above the opening and engages drywall, the at least one fastener extends through at least one aperture defined by the cleat web and engages at least one stud(s) and/or header of the wall structure, and the first side of the track plate engages the first side of the cleat. A related door mounting method includes mounting a cleat to the wall structure, hanging a track plate on the cleat, securing the track plate to the cleat, and hanging the door on the track plate.

A hinge including: a first leaf assembly accommodating a portion of a first panel having a first cut-out section, the first leaf assembly including a first insert component which is tight fittingly receivable within the first cut-out section; a second leaf assembly, hingedly coupled to the first leaf assembly, for accommodating a portion of a second panel having a second cut-out section; a spring operatively coupled to the first and second leaf assemblies to bias the hinge to move from an open position to a closed position; and a dampener to dampen movement of the hinge from the open position to the closed position, wherein said longitudinal dampener axis is disposed between and substantially parallel with planes defined by respective opposing faces of the first panel.

A door system to provide a check function and door closing assistance in a vehicle is provided. The door system comprises a door hinge, a clip assembly attached to the door hinge and a door closing assist device disposed adjacent to the door hinge. The door hinge includes a body leaf fixed to a body of the vehicle, and a door leaf attached to a door of the vehicle and configured to be movable relative to the body leaf and the door leaf includes an engagement member. The clip assembly includes a check member having a distal end and a base end and the check member includes at least a first check portion adjacent to the distal end and a second check portion adjacent to the base end.

A modular door assembly is adapted for installation on existing open frame vehicles formed of tubular members. A novel tubular hinge construction provides support for the door assembly while allowing rotational movement of the door in use. Alternative vehicle elements may also be secured to and operable on the novel hinge.

A corner fitting for a door element to be disposed on a center of rotation or an axis, including first and second fitting elements, which, at least sectionwise, each include a locating portion for the abutment against the door element, and are interconnectable while restraining the door element in a restraining area. The fitting elements delimit the restraining area, including at least one attaching unit for reliably clamping the door element between the fitting elements. The attaching unit includes first attaching means, disposed at the first fitting element and/or at the second fitting element, and second attaching means, disposed at the second fitting element and/or at the first fitting element. The attaching means are non-positively and/or positively interconnected. The first attaching means includes an engagement area, into which the second attaching means acts, wherein the engagement area extends at least partially into the restraining area via the locating.

A swing panel or flap is pivotally attached to a vehicle body with a hinge. The hinge includes a first fitting part fastened to a first selected vehicle part under the body and flap, and a second fitting part fastened to the second selected vehicle part under the body and flap. The second fitting part is joined with the first fitting part so that it can pivot around a hinge axis. A head of a post of the first vehicle part is inserted through a passage of the first fitting part. A control part is movable between a locked position, in which it engages between an undercut of the head and the first fitting part, and a released position, in which it is retracted from the undercut, and the head is free to traverse the passage.

In a preferred embodiment, a retrofit storage bin door hinge includes an extension member than increases the storage volume of the bin by at least 5 percent or 10 percent, thereby permitting the storage of larger carry-on bags. Required access to the ceiling panels during maintenance operations is preserved by the hinges pivotable attachment to a pivot mount attached to the ceiling of a storage bin. In this manner, the hinge assembly and door may be readily translated downwardly to provide full access to the ceiling panels during a maintenance operation.

A fence system with a gate assembly mounted in a gap between first and second fence portions of the fence system. A hinge may be used to mount the gate assembly, where the hinge has a clamp fixed to a support with substantially the same cross-section, and the support is fixed to a first member of the hinge. A second member of the hinge can be mounted to the gate assembly with the first and second members being rotatably fixed together, thereby allowing rotation of the gate assembly between open, closed, and various other positions. A latch actuator can selectively secure and release a latch retainer thereby selectively allowing the gate to rotate to the various positions. A handle can be positioned proximate the latch actuator to allow gripping of the handle and manipulating the actuator with one hand, thereby releasing the retainer.
