A double door gate apparatus having a frame, a main gate and a secondary gate, where the apparatus includes the unique features of a) a latch apparatus between uppermost framework members of the main gate and secondary gate, b) the latch apparatus being weighted to return to a normally closed position, c) each of the main gate and secondary gates having an inverted U-shaped piece engaging the bottommost horizontal member such that each of the main and secondary gates need to be lifted prior to being opened and prior to being closed, and d) a pair of hand wheels on a common shaft that work together to space the double door gate apparatus a desired distance from a vertical surface such as a wall.

The present invention relates to a door frame, particularly a door frame for a pre-hung door assembly, which is foldable to minimize storage space and to allow for enhanced logistic efficiencies. The door frame contains parallel, spaced apart, vertical jambs and a horizontal header connecting the top ends of the jambs. Each of the jambs and the horizontal header contains a front section and back section that are hingedly joined so that then can be folded on to each other. The hingedly joined front and back sections allow the door fame to be foldable to minimize space occupied during storage.

A false window unit includes: a window frame which is disposed in a wall and includes an opening; an image display device which is disposed facing the opening of the window frame, and displays a landscape image toward the indoor space through the opening of the window frame; a light source which is disposed between the window frame and the image display device, and emits light simulating sunlight toward the indoor space through the opening of the window frame; and a sash frame which blocks part of the light from the light source.

A docking system between a vehicle and a building and a control method therefor include an entrance frame configured to extend in a direction towards a vehicle door, an external door provided at a side of the vehicle door to be opened, an internal door spaced from the external door and provided at a side of the building to be opened, and a sealing unit inserted into the entrance frame to be provided between the external door and the internal door, and configured to selectively extend in the direction toward the vehicle door to connect an internal space of the vehicle and an indoor space of the building into one space.

A fenestration assembly includes a plurality of lineal segments joined at corners. Each of the lineal segments extend between first and second ends. One or more of the lineal segments of the plurality of lineal segments is a composite lineal segment and includes a first component lineal segment and a second component lineal segment. The first and second component lineal segments are coupled at an assembly joint in an assembled configuration.

An open latching gate frame configured in a rectangular configuration has upper and lower horizontal segments and two laterally spaced vertical segments. Each segment has an interiorly facing indentation. A panel insert has a rectangular configuration supported by the indentations of the segments. A first and a second vertically oriented, laterally spaced post has a hollow rectangular configuration. Hinges couple the first post to an adjacent vertical segment of the gate frame and panel inset. The hinges are spring urged and functioning to reciprocate the gate frame and panel insert between open and closed orientations.

An adjustable shim for pre-hung doors or windows is described. The adjustable shim includes a base bracket configured for mounting to a frame member of the pre-hung door or window. The adjustable shim also includes a shim plate and an actuator operably attached between the base bracket and the shim plate. Rotation of the actuator raises or lowers the shim plate relative to the base bracket.

A mullion is adapted for use in a narrow stile door system. The mullion is a three-section mullion with top and bottom hollow mullion tubes and an I-shaped centerpiece. The top and bottom hollow mullion tubes have a first outside width and first outside depth and a second inside width and second inside depth, the second inside width and depth defined by the inside of the hollow tube walls. The I-shaped centerpiece is connected to and fixed in between the top and bottom mullion tubes. The I-shaped centerpiece comprises a thin middle portion and top and bottom flanges, and top and bottom insert portions connected to the top and bottom flanges, and the top and bottom insert portions having a third width and third depth that are smaller than the second inside width and depth of the top and bottom hollow mullion tubes, with the insert portions adapted to be inserted into the hollow portion of the top and bottom mullion tubes and fixed therein.
