Adaptable fenestration frame members, fenestration units using the frame members, and methods of adapting the fenestration frame members. The adaptable fenestration frame members provide a construction that is adaptable for use in both pocket and non-pocket installations by including an adaptation channel forming an outside corner along one edge of the fenestration frame member. Removal of the outside corner converts that portion of the frame member from an outside corner to an inside corner, thus adapting the frame member for use in a pocket installation.

An adjustable barrier for use with a building having a door frame with a door frame opening, a track assembly, and a garage door positioned between the track assembly to selectively cover the door frame opening, the adjustable barrier comprising a barrier bracket and an extendable barrier panel. The adjustable barrier is adapted to seal off a garage door gap located between the garage door and the door frame, and is positioned between the door frame and the track to create a barrier preventing a pest from bypassing the garage door and entering the building through the garage door gap. The extendable barrier panel selectively extends and retracts to adjust to the distance between the track and the door frame, and may further be tapered to allow the adjustable barrier to maintain contact with the track when the track curves away from the door frame.

A protective device and method for protection of a door frame member and/or door assembly. The protective device may include a body portion and an adjoining flange portion. The body portion may include a free side and a corner side running parallel to each other and may form an L-shaped device. The flange may include guide slot openings for placement of a fastener through the openings. The body portion may have a substantially planar top and a curved bottom with reduced portions forming attachment areas for securing the protective device removably to a door assembly.

Compound fenestration assembly mull joints, compound fenestration assemblies using those mull joints, and methods of making and using the same are described herein. The mull joints in compound fenestration assemblies as described herein use universal joining strips to form both sides of a mull joint, as well as other universal components such as, e.g., corner gussets, locator plates, end plugs, seal members, etc. that may be used as needed to form mull joints as required in a compound fenestration assembly.

A fenestration assembly includes a glazing unit includes a pane spacer between exterior and interior panes proximate glazing unit edges. A fenestration frame is coupled around the glazing unit and includes a frame core extending around the glazing unit. The frame core includes a unitary core wall including a composite material that is hollow and extends continuously from a core interior face to a core exterior face. A metal glazing cap is coupled with the frame core. The metal glazing cap having a cap end indirectly engaged with the glazing unit along the interior pane, and the cap end is remote from the pane spacer. Each of the core exterior face, the pane spacer and the metal glazing cap are thermally isolated from each other with the frame core including the unitary core wall.

A lock installation training aid. The training aid includes a door having a front surface, a rear surface and an edge having a top a bottom, a first side and a second side. A first cutout is formed at the edge. A first bracket is secured to the door adjacent to the first cutout. A first door insert is disposed within the first cutout and is secured to the first bracket by fasteners.

A clip fastening system for securing a window in a window opening without the use of penetrating fasteners is disclosed. The clip fastening system includes a flange that extends in an inward direction from and around the window opening, a groove that is formed through a facing of a window frame of the window and that extends around the perimeter of the window frame, and a clip mutually engaged with the flange and the groove, thereby securing the window frame within the window opening.
