An exit device assembly for coupling to a door having a first side and second side. A first exit device may be coupled to the first side of the door. The first exit device may include a main tube extending from a first end to a second end and a first adjustment tube coupled to the first end of the main tube. The first adjustment tube may be axially adjustable relative to the main tube along a first adjustment axis. An actuator assembly may be supported within an interior of the main tube of the first exit device and may be moveable between a first position and a second position. A latchbolt may be coupled to the actuator assembly and may be moveable between a retracted position and an extended position in which the latchbolt engages a latch.

A tie bar fabricate from extruded or formed polymer material available in bulk rolls, and methods of fabrication for a tie bar assembly. The tie bar is custom cut from the bulk material to any desired length at a window assembly line, and is cut with saddles and apertures that match the locations of window locking points and drive locations to conform with window designs on the fly. Standard locking points and drive pins are fitted onto the tie bar in locations as needed to fit particular configurations, and are slidable in standard c-shaped channels. The polymer material used for the tie bar is flexible and resilient, thereby lending itself to use for rounded window designs, without having any specific preformed length, locking point location, or shape.

A locking assembly for a casement window including a frame having an elongated surface, comprising a tie bar guide adapted to be mounted on the window frame surface, the tie bar guide having first and second receiving grooves for slideably receiving segments of a tie bar in a tongue and groove manner, and a tie bar adapted to slide axially in a direction parallel to the window frame surface and having a partially curved profile and a cross-section comprising a flat central portion with a first segment comprising a first tongue and a second segment comprising a second tongue, the first and second segments on opposite sides relative to the central portion. The tie bar is slideably received in the tie bar guide such that the tie bar first tongue is received in the tie bar guide first receiving groove and the tie bar second tongue is received in the tie bar guide second receiving groove, to permit the position of the tie bar to be adjusted with respect to the tie bar guide in the longitudinal direction while preventing movement of the tie bar in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. One of the tie bar and tie bar guide has an opening in an exterior surface thereof and the other has a projection extending in a direction of the opening, wherein when the tie bar is slideably received within the tie bar guide, the projection and opening act as a detent to maintain the tie bar guide in a desired position.

A hinge lock for locking a door leaf with respect to a door frame and for pivoting the door leaf with respect to the door frame. The hinge lock has a first hinge element for arranging on the door leaf and a second hinge element for arranging on the door frame. The first hinge element and the second hinge element can be locked with respect to one another by means of a bolt which can be moved back and forth in a locking direction between an unlocking position and a locking position. The bolt can be moved back and forth between the unlocking position and the locking position by means of a drive rod which can be moved transversely to the locking direction. The disclosure further relates to a door having a hinge lock.
