Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for installing a closure assembly into a framed opening having sheathing arranged around the framed opening. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include use of at least one support bracket along the framed opening and the sheathing.

An adjustable door support for acquiring a door gap and supporting a door slab at a height off a floor equal to the door gap. The adjustable door support comprises a bendable sheet including two outer and two inner sections, and two tie devices. The two inner sections are disposed at an oblique angle relative to one another and form a support slot for receiving a portion of the door slab therein. The support slot has door support edges for engaging the door slab. Each of the tie devices includes a cable tie threaded through the inner sections of the bendable sheet and a locking washer attached to the cable tie by sliding over the cable ties in one direction only. The locking washers are lockable on the cable ties to adjust a distance between the support edges of the adjustable door support and the floor.

An adaptable door mounting support for acquiring a door gap and for supporting a door slab. The door mounting support comprises a frame member including first and second A-shaped segments interconnected by a rectangular bottom section and together defining a door support channel therebetween, and a tie device configured to meter the door gap and hold the door slab off the ground. A width of the door support channel is equal or larger than a thickness of the door slab. The tie device includes a cable tie extending between the A-shaped segments and across the door support channel, and a locking member attached to the cable tie by sliding over the cable tie. The locking member is slidable over the cable tie in one direction only and is lockable on the cable tie to adjust a distance between the cable tie and the bottom section of the frame member.

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.

A tool for use during installation of a pre-hung door. The tool includes a base and at least one orientation indicator, such as a bubble level, mounted to the base. The tool also includes at least one spacer extending from the base. The at least one spacer may be positioned between an edge of a door panel and a respective adjacent portion of a door frame. The tool may also include at least one tongue extending from the base in a direction opposite the at least one spacer. The at least one tongue may be positioned between a weather strip and a face of the door frame so that the tool can remain in place when the door panel is open relative to the door frame.

Set for installing a leaf (3) of a sliding door (1) provided with a wheel set (12) in a frame (2), the set including a leaf (3), a frame (2), a wheel set (12) and an aid (1), whereby the aid (15) includes supporting elements (17) that each define a support point (20) for the leaf (3), whereby the distance (D.sub.s) between the support points (20) is less than the thickness (D.sub.v) of the leaf (3) and whereby the aid (15) includes at least one connecting element (16) to fix the supporting elements (17) with respect one another.

A weight-actuated panel holder is disclosed herein. The weight-actuated panel holder includes a first jaw member; a second jaw member pivotally coupled to the first jaw member, the first and second jaw members cooperating to a form a slot for receiving an end portion of a panel, an opening width of at least a portion of the slot being configured to be reduced when a weight of the panel actuates the first and second jaw members towards a closed position; and a clutch mechanism coupled to at least one of the first and second jaw members, the clutch mechanism configured to bias at least one of the first and second jaw members in the closed position.

A device for holding a door in a stable position while the hinges which affix the door to the door frame are either replaced or initially installed. The basic features of the device consist of a base to which two side panels are affixed opposite each other. One of the sides is equipped with one or more clamping mechanism with the other side equipped with cushioning pads aligned opposite of the clamping mechanism. Stabilizing rotatable outriggers are attached to each side panel to assist in the restriction of movement of the device relative to the floor. The device may be used in either a vertical or horizontal position depending upon the clearance between the door and the floor.

A perimeter replication device for a frame having an adjustable frame that includes a plurality of elongate members, and a plurality of hinges connected to the plurality of elongate members. Each elongate member is connected at a first end to a first hinge of the plurality of hinges and at a second end to a second hinge of the plurality of hinges such that the adjustable frame is substantially a continuous structure. Each elongate member are telescopic. The perimeter replication device further includes a locking unit configured to lock the adjustable frame in a locked configuration. The locking unit has an elongate member locking mechanism that locks each elongate member in any position between a telescopically unextended configuration and a maximum telescopically extended configuration and a hinge locking mechanism that locks each hinge. Further disclosed is a method for replicating the perimeter of a door frame.

A rafter angle square door clamp stand system functions like a truss, utilizing tension and compression. A horizontal tension base is suspended off of the ground by rotatable support members, one at each end of the base. The tension base has a T shaped slot that runs the length of the base. Two rafter angle squares, each having a T shaped member, slide into the slot of the base, one from each end of the base, with the vertical edges of the angle squares facing each other. The weight of the door on the tension base causes the base to flex downward, and the rafter squares to compress, holding the door in an upright position. Stop elements prevent the angle squares from moving backwards when the door is compressed and clamped. The system can be converted to support cylindrical objects, by reversing the positions of the angle squares.
