A kit for use in realigning a door connected to a jamb includes a plurality of replacement hinges having different sized gaps formed between the leaves thereof when pivoted to extend in parallel, juxtaposed alignment, including gaps that are narrower and wider than a standard gap of the conventional hinges currently used to hang the door, prior to installation. A zero gap replacement hinge may have no gap between the leaves when in the closed position. The kit may include multiple reduced gap replacement hinges with varying sized gaps and multiple enlarged gap replacement hinges with varying sized gaps. To rehang a sagging door, the top conventional hinge may be replaced with a reduced gap replacement hinge and the bottom conventional hinge may be replaced with an enlarged gap replacement hinge. The reduced gaps and the enlarged gaps of the replacement hinges may be formed using a swaging technique.

A universal sliding door system that is configured to facilitate installation in either a slide right to open (SRO) orientation or a slide left to open (SLO) orientation. In some embodiments, a track is attached to a header by a pivot connector that allows the track to be pivoted up or down so that the track can be easily oriented at an appropriate angle for the desired opening orientation. The header and track may also each include a first set of openings configured to allow the track to be easily installed in a SRO orientation and a second set of openings configured to allow the track to be easily installed in a SLO orientation. Other components of the door system, such as the door and the vertical casing members may also include features configured to allow the components to easily be installed in either opening orientation.

The invention relates to a drive of a sliding door of a motor vehicle comprising an electric drive unit (2), a drive cable (10) and a guide (3) for the drive cable (10). Said drive unit (2), the drive cable (10) and the guide (3) are fixed in the vehicle body (K) and the sliding door can be moved by means of the drive cable (10) with respect to the vehicle body. At least one sub-assembly (33) of the guide (3) of the drive cable (10) is modular and the drive cable (10) can be deflected by the modular sub-assembly (33).

An arrangement for guiding a sliding door or folding-sliding door on a furniture wall, comprising a first guide system to be fastened on the furniture wall and a second guide system to be fastened on the furniture wall at a vertical distance from the first guide system. The two guide systems each have at least one guide and a guide body which is displaceably mounted on the guide, anda carrier on which the sliding door or folding-sliding door is to be fastened and which is connected in a movement-coupled manner to the two guide bodies of the guide systems. The carrier is assembled in the vertical direction from at least two carrier portions, and the at least two carrier portions can be releasably connected.

The clamping assembly for a glass door includes an outer clamping body, an inner clamping body, an automatic homing mechanism and a positioning unit. An upper jaw for clamping the glass door is provided on the top of the outer clamping body, and a first side wall and a second side wall are recessedly formed at the bottom of the outer clamping body. A first lower jaw is formed between the first side wall and the second side wall. The inner clamping body is disposed in the first lower jaw. A second lower jaw is formed at the bottom of the inner clamping body. The automatic homing mechanism is disposed in the second lower jaw. The positioning unit penetrates the first side wall to abut against the first recess on the inner clamping body.

A vehicle and a window assembly include a window movable between a closed and open position. The assembly includes an arm movable between a first and second position. The window is disposed in the closed position when the arm is in the first position and the window disposed in the open position when the arm is in the second position. The arm includes an extension fixed thereto such that the arm and the extension both move concurrently about a first pivot point. The assembly includes a connector coupled to the extension at a second pivot point. The arm is coupled to the window through the connector. The first and second pivot points are spaced from each other. The connector is coupled to the window such that movement of the arm moves the connector about the second pivot point which causes the window to move between the closed and open positions.

A power boost assembly is disclosed that can be used with a door actuator, such as a door closer. The power boost assembly is structured to store an energy during a first movement of a door and release the stored energy during a second movement of the door. In one form the power boost assembly can be structured as a module that can be added to an existing door and door closer installation. In one form the power boost assembly is used to increase a closing force imparted to a door to ensure a latching event.

A door hinge includes a door flange. The door flange includes a first-cylindrical portion. The first-cylindrical portion segmented and having an axially vectored borehole therethrough. The door hinge includes a frame flange. The frame flange including a second-cylindrical portion. The second-cylindrical portion segmented and having a corresponding axially vectored borehole therethrough. The first-cylindrical portion and second-cylindrical portion are configured to engage when their respective boreholes are coaxial. A plurality of apertures are disposed on the door flange and the frame flange. A plurality of plugs are included with the door hinge. Each of the plurality of plugs are sized and dimensioned to close at least one of the plurality of apertures. The door hinge is useful for attaching a door to a door frame.

A zero gap replacement hinge may have no gap between the leaves when in the closed position. The kit may include multiple reduced gap replacement hinges with varying sized gaps and multiple enlarged gap replacement hinges with varying sized gaps. To rehang a sagging door, the top conventional hinge may be replaced with a reduced gap replacement hinge and the bottom conventional hinge may be replaced with an enlarged gap replacement hinge. The reduced gaps and the enlarged gaps of the replacement hinges may be formed using a swaging technique.

A system of panels is provided for use as panels for walls, doors and storage containers, where these panels can be quickly and conveniently assembled to build a variety of modular storage containers or other structures. The panels can include straight panels, L-panels, door end panels, door landing panels, and swivel hinge panels.
