A unified building opening extension system is pre-built offsite. The extension system provides an airtight, watertight assembly that is compatible with waterproofing and air barrier systems integrated with the assembly when the opening assembly (e.g. door or window), exterior insulation, and veneer are installed on the building wall. Water intrusion or leaks are resisted even under positive and negative air pressure events (i.e., winds and storms). A baffle plate with a vent hole is fitted to a weep hole in the bottom of a frame of the assembly.

A secure sliding closure having a modular frame and one or more sliding door is described. The modular frame defines at least one secure cavity and a portal and comprises a main frame and at least one door frame. The main frame comprises at least one frame upright spaced apart from at least one portal upright and a respective at least one top plate extending between the at least one frame upright and the at least one portal upright. The at least one door frame comprising a locking side upright spaced apart from a secure cavity upright and a door frame top plate. The modular frame defines at least one secure cavity and defines a portal. The one or more sliding door comprises a sliding leaf and a sliding leaf covering, the covering comprising one or more sliding door security panel.

A frame assembly supporting an overhead door has a horizontal header connected to upright columns or posts with splice assemblies. Fasteners mounted on the columns cooperate with retainers on the splice assemblies to position and connect the columns to the header. Hinge assemblies pivotally mount the door on the header for movement between open and closed positions.

An insulating glazing unit, includes at least two glass panes and a circumferential spacer profile between them near their edges, for use in a window, a door, or a façade glazing, which has in each case an electrically conductive frame surrounding the edges of the insulating glazing, wherein at least one RFID transponder is attached to the insulating glazing unit as an identification element, wherein the at least one transponder is arranged at a corner of the insulating glazing unit.

A bracket for connecting a first extruded member having spaced and generally parallel extrusion fins to a second member. The bracket comprising a base plate, a longitudinal wedge element configured to be inserted in between the extrusion fins, an extrusion fin receiving channel to receive a first extrusion fin of the first extruded member, fastener receiving apertures through the base plate to receive a fastener to rigidly couple the bracket to the first extruded member, and a deformation cavity adjacent the fastener receiving aperture configured to receive a deformed extrusion portion of the first extrusion fin. The fastener receiving aperture is located on the base plate such that the deformed extrusion portion is forced into the deformation cavity and at least partially out of the extrusion fin receiving channel to form a rigid connection in a deformed condition when a fastener is located in the fastener receiving aperture.

A door assembly for an electromagnetic shielded enclosure includes a metal door frame for defining a passageway into the enclosure and a door for selectively enclosing the passageway. The door includes a door leaf pivotally coupled to the frame. A set of radio frequency (RF) seals is connected to the exposed peripheral edge of a conductive plate in the door leaf. Each RF seal includes a resilient movable finger which overlies a U-shaped bracket mounted along the outer edge of the door leaf. A plurality of air cylinders is mounted within each bracket and is designed to urge the resilient finger of each RF seal into contact with the door frame. By integrating the RF seal and its related mechanical components into the door, the passageway into the enclosure is rendered less obtrusive. Additionally, the use of multiple air cylinders to actuate each RF seal creates operational redundancy.

A blast-protected window, including a sash including a glass plate surrounded by a first frame, and being carried by a second frame being fixed to an opening of a structure, and a third frame, being fixed to the structure opening, and including a first peripheral surface shaped for closely covering the room side of the second frame, and being configured to block, thereby blast directed from the external environment onto the glass plate knocks onto the first peripheral surface of the third frame disposed close thereto and being configured to block the blast.
