Door systems and door hardware components
Door systems and door hardware components are described herein, along with methods of installing the door systems and components. The door systems include a bottom spacer that racks the door system in an opening in which the door system is being installed to facilitate proper spacing of the door after removal of the bottom spacer.
Door-ready molding
A door system including a primary door molding attachable to a primary door frame, the primary door molding including a first vertical member and a first hinge member extending from the first vertical member. One of a horizontal member from which the first vertical member downwardly extends and the first vertical member includes a first rotatably engageable element, and the first hinge member includes a second rotatably engageable element vertically spaced from the first rotatably engageable element.
Storm shield for bathing structure
A storm shield apparatus for protecting persons, animals, or property within a bathing structure includes a retractable shield that is selectively moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The shield is moveable along first and second tracks. In some embodiments, the first and second tracks are disposed on opposing longitudinal end walls proximate the bathing structure, and the shield includes flexible roll-top shield sections. A trough with multiple panels may be positioned under the bathing structure to provide an additional barrier to prevent flying debris from penetrating the bathing structure from its sides, longitudinal ends or bottom. The trough mates with the shield in some embodiments to form a protective enclosure.
DOOR-READY MOLDING
A door system including a primary door molding attachable to a primary door frame, the primary door molding including a first vertical member and a first hinge member extending from the first vertical member. One of a horizontal member from which the first vertical member downwardly extends and the first vertical member includes a first rotatably engageable element, and the first hinge member includes a second rotatably engageable element vertically spaced from the first rotatably engageable element.
Jamb-hung secondary door and method of installation
A method of installing a combination door unit into a threshold of a house, comprising placing a combination door unit within a threshold opening of a house surrounded by a plurality of house frame studs. The combination door unit comprises a door frame, a threshold door hingedly coupled to the door frame, and a secondary door. The secondary door is hingedly coupled to a mounting frame and the mounting frame, the door frame, and the plurality of house frame studs are aligned when the combination door unit is placed within the threshold opening. The method of installing the combination door unit may also comprise the steps of leveling the combination door unit, removing the secondary door from the combination door unit, driving a plurality of fasteners through the mounting frame, through the door frame, and into the house frame studs, and replacing the secondary door on the combination door unit.
Garage Door (Drop Down) Breeze Screen
The Breeze screen invention concept is designed to serve as a simulated natural breeze gate to keep garages cool and clean when they are opened. The mesh breeze gate feature serves to keep garbage and debris out of the inside garage space, while allowing the natural outdoor air ventilation in to keep the garage cool. It attaches to the existing garage door and can be dropped down and locked in place for security with its use.
It functions by the design of a fine mesh panel or screen network, made of either metal, aluminum, plastic or other fabric of manufacturer's choice to allow airflow through the fine air holes that make up the breeze gate or breeze screen concept. Thus allowing air through to keep the garage cooler, but keeping larger unsightly particles out of the garage, such as leaves, trash and debris.
Window with built-in foldable screen, and window frame assembly thereof
A window frame assembly has a built-in foldable screen, having a body, the body having at least a first frame part and a second frame part; the first frame part has at least a first end surface and a second end surface; the second end surface is fixedly connected to the second frame part; the first end surface is provided with a protruded guiding convex part; the guiding convex part is provided with a line receiving groove; and two sides of the line receiving groove are respectively provided with a concave part. The above structure has the benefits of enabling the guiding convex part located on the transverse frame in the foldable screen module to be re-assembled on the structure of the window frame assembly, thus reducing the number of foldable screen module components, and also improving the convenience of assembling the foldable screen module in the window.
SCREEN SYSTEM
A screen system includes a screen system having a screen assembly including a screen member with a plurality of equidistantly spaced apertures. The screen member may be mountable to a bottom portion of a door or a window for allowing airflow to pass through the apertures while inhibiting a passage of bugs and insects. The screen member has a sufficient rigidity for preventing damage from at least one pet attempting to pass through the screen member.
INWARD-OPENING TYPE CASEMENT WINDOW HAVING OUTWARD-OPENING PANE AND SCREEN, AND HANDLE LOCK AND HINGE USED THEREFOR
An inward-opening type casement window having outward-opening pane and screen is provided. A primary screen is installed, via a first hinge, in a primary casement window frame so as to open inwardly. The primary screen is formed with a secondary frame. A secondary pane is installed, via a second hinge, in the secondary frame so as to open outwardly. A handle lock is installed between the primary screen and the primary casement window frame and between the secondary pane and the secondary frame. The handle lock is used to control opening and closing of the primary screen and the secondary pane. The pane can be swung out to facilitate ventilation, and the screen can prevent entry of insects and burglars. Moreover, the pane can be swung in together with the screen, thereby facilitating access, ventilation and cleansing.
Self-closing interior door access panel
A two door system for recreational vehicles or camper style trailers is disclosed including an interior door with a self-closing access panel for reaching a locking mechanism of an exterior door. The access panel provides a user the ability to reach and manipulate the latching mechanism of the exterior door from the interior of the vehicle even when the interior door is closed. A biasing member is disclosed that maintains the access panel in a closed position whenever an adequate opening force is not present. The access panel may take on a number of configurations and may be designed as a retrofit for existing door systems or as an original component. In a configuration, a vertically sliding movable panel portion may be provided, which defaults to a downward, closed position. In such embodiments, no biasing member may be needed (gravity may be sufficient for the movable panel portion to close).
