A dual hinge method that uses a temporary hinge 150 that is subsequently replaced by a replacement hinge 250 that both have snap-in features on both the panel leaf and frame jamb.

A transport bracket disclosed herein includes a support structure and vertical beams, which extend in a substantially vertical direction upward from opposing side of the support structure to form a substantially U-shapped channel configured to receive and support a door or similar sized object. A mounting plate extends horizontally from each beam, where one mounting plate is longer than the other. Each mounting plate defines an opening for receipt of a threaded vertical adjustment shaft extending through the opening. The vertical adjustment shaft has a top located vertically above the mounting plate, and a bottom located vertically below the mounting plate. A handle is operatively engaged to the top and a wheel assembly is engaged to the bottom. Rotation of the handle changes the proximity of the wheel assembly to the mounting plate. The wheel assembly has an axle extending from the vertical adjustment shaft, and at least one wheel rotatably engaged about the axle.

Features and methods for use in connection with the installation of fenestration units. Embodiments include an installation bracket and method of use, pre-installed flashing tape, and a shim that can be broken to a desired length during shimming procedures.

The device comprises a plurality of inflatable air cushion members (6) of a flexible but non- stretchable air tight sheet material (1) in hose-connection (11) with an inflation tool (12). Each inflatable air cushion member (6) is formed as a bag unit comprising opposite layers of said sheet material (1, 1) provided face to face and joined along an edge area (4) to form a double layer edge. Surface modification of the cushion members, for example by a sleeve or pouch into which the cushion members are inserted, is used to adjust the properties of the device for an optimised lifting process.

A door hardware tool includes an edge wall with a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and an edge bore aperture that extends through the first side and the second side. The edge bore defines a first axis that extends centrally through the edge bore and through the first side and the second side. The door hardware tool also includes a side wall coupled to the edge wall. The sidewall includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a cavity defined between the first and second side, and a cross bore aperture moveable between a first setback position and a second setback position within the cavity along a second axis. The second axis is parallel and offset from the first axis.

A window bracing device which is used to support a window unit within a window opening of a wall of a structure while that window unit is being secured to the structure, with the window bracing device being temporarily attached to the window unit on the interior side of the window unit, then braced against the interior of the wall surrounding the window opening, retaining the window unit in place while a worker secures the window unit to the wall; wherein the window bracing device is comprised of a bracing arm, a first foot, a second foot, a window engagement member, and an attachment component.

A door hanging apparatus includes a base for ground contact. A height adjustment bracket is located above the base and includes a lifting platform for supporting an underside of a door. A leadscrew assembly, including a leadscrew, interconnects the base and the height adjustment bracket. The leadscrew assembly operates to vary spacing between the base and the height adjustment bracket in response to rotation of the leadscrew.

A door lifting device comprises a base plate, a fulcrum extending perpendicularly from the base plate, and a balance beam having a first end and a second end pivotally connected on the fulcrum. The balance beam includes a foot plate attached to the first end of the balance beam, and a door carriage attached to the second end of the balance beam. The balance beam can be adjusted to a selected height relative to the base plate. When the selected height of the balance beam relative to the base is increased, the pivot point is increased relative to the base plate. The balance beam can further, based on the selected height, be pivoted from a first location to a second location such that the door. When the pivot point is shifted away from the door carriage to the second position from the first position on the balance beam, the height of the door carriage relative to the surface is adjusted from the first height to the second height.

The present invention provides a pre-hung door assembly containing a door slab hung inside a door frame. The margins (space between the perimeter of the door and the frame) between the door slab and the door frame are maintained using at least one door jamb margin holder, at least one door lock margin holder, at least one bottom margin holder, or combinations of these holders. The margin holders allow the margins to be maintained and prevent unwanted opening of the door during the shipping and transportation of the door assembly. The jambs of door frame may include predrilled holes for securing the door assembly to the door opening. Details for the door jamb margin holder, the door lock margin holder, and the bottom margin; and methods for installation of the door assembly are also provided.

A shipping system for a pre-hung door having a door panel hinged to a frame. The shipping system includes a bracket configured to wrap at least partially around a portion of the frame, the bracket having a first leg for extending between the door panel and the frame. The first leg may include an opening passing therethrough. The opening is intended to align with an edge bore of the door panel and with a catch bore in the frame. The shipping system also includes a door plug for insertion into a face bore of the door panel to reside at least partially within the edge bore of the door panel. The door plug is designed to releasably engage the opening of the bracket by rotation of the door plug. The bracket is removable from the pre-hung door after the pre-hung door is installed in a rough opening.
