MAIN TILTING DOOR FOR THE CLOSURE OF AN ACCESS OPENING OF A ROOM, PARTICULARLY OF A GARAGE SPACE AND METHOD FOR THE ASSEMBLY ON SITE OF A MAIN TILTING DOOR
A main tilting door for the closure of an access opening of a room comprises two fixed uprights and one fixed crosspiece associable with each other to define a fixed frame. The fixed uprights comprise vertical sliding guides; two movable uprights and two movable crosspieces associable with each other to define a movable frame; tilting movement means comprising: two lateral supporting arms each having a first end which can be hinged to an intermediate area of the movable uprights and a second end which can be hinged to a top of the fixed uprights; two sliding supports movable along the vertical sliding guides; a plurality of panels associable with the movable frame; wherein at least one of said movable uprights and said movable crosspieces comprises a sliding track and a plurality of cursors movable along the sliding track, the panels being associable with the cursors.
CLEAR VIEW PANEL FOR OVERHEAD DOOR
Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.
Exterior door and methods for forming exterior doors
A door assembly can include a core layer, a backing layer, and a façade layer. The core layer can define a façade side and a back side opposite the façade side. The core layer can include a rail and a plurality of stiles coupled to the rail. The backing layer can be adhered to the back side of the core layer. The façade layer can be adhered to the façade side of the core layer. The façade layer can include a plurality of frame segments defining an outer surface comprised of polymer and the plurality of frame segments defining a mating surface adhered to the façade side of the core layer.
PRESS-IN BOTTOM SEAL FOR OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR
A press-in astragal for installation in an overhead garage door retainer includes an elongated, flexible, resilient strip. The strip has a first surface and a second surface. A first protrusion and a second protrusion with a half arrow cross-sectional shape extend longitudinally along opposite edges of the first surface. The second protrusion faces opposite the first protrusion. A garage door seal kit includes the press-in astragal, an astragal retainer that accommodates the astragal; and mounting hardware to mount the astragal retainer to a garage door. The retainer has a first channel extending longitudinally along a first edge and a second channel extending longitudinally along a second edge. The first channel has a flattened C-shape cross-section and the second channel has a flattened C-shape cross-section facing opposite the first channel.
HIGH LOAD RETENTION SYSTEM FOR SECTIONAL OVERHEAD DOORS
A high load retention system for a sectional overhead door enables uninhibited operation of a standard roller track mechanism of a sectional overhead door, while allowing high wind loads to be seamlessly transferred from the track mechanism to a more robust high load jamb retaining element. The system comprises: a plurality of primary door panels, each having a front face; a primary track; engagement elements each having a first end connected to a primary door panel and a second end that rides in the primary track; a high load jamb retaining element positioned adjacent to the primary track and having a clasping portion; and a high load door retaining element connected to a primary door panel and having a clasping portion corresponding to the clasping portion of the high load jamb retaining element.
Method of forming a frame using a splice assembly
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.
THERMAL BARRIER ROLLER DOOR ASSEMBLIES AND PARTS THEREOF
The construction of rapid opening thermally insulated roller doors is challenging in that there are both structural and operational challenges. The door blades need to have structural strength, and also need to have dimensional stability. Disclosed is a thermally insulated roller door blade in which at least the material forming the outer surface is able to resist the tensile loads during retraction, and the blade is provided with flexible spacer strips that help the primary insulating material of the door blade to maintain dimensional stability, primarily by helping to resist crushing. This allows softer materials to be used for thermal insulation than previously used, helping to reduce weight and to improve thermal efficiency, while at the same time allowing smooth and repeatable operation even when exposed to freezing temperatures for long periods.
PROCESS FOR ADHERING DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES TO MAGNETICALLY RETAIN THEM ON A GARAGE DOOR
Steel garage door decorations made out of powder coated aluminum. The decorations include a decorative hinge, a decorative barn door handle, a decorative knocker assembly and a decorative clavo. Each of the garage door decorations is made out of powder coated aluminum and retains at least one concealed permanent magnet by which the decoration is temporarily affixed to a garage door panel. Each decoration also contains at least one recess where adhesive can be applied after the proper orientation and location of each respective garage door decoration have been finalized.
BULLET RESISTANT GARAGE DOORS
A bullet-resistant garage door is formed with multiple garage door panels spaced vertically and pivotable relative to one another to permit conventional opening of the garage door. Each garage door panel is formed with an interior ballistic panel, an exterior ballistic panel and an insulation panel positioned between the interior and exterior ballistic panels. A ballistic shield is attached to the exterior ballistic panel to overlap the gap between the exterior ballistic panels of adjacent garage door panels. The exterior ballistic panel is operable to allow the penetration of a bullet of a given caliber while dissipating the energy of the bullet so that the bullet will not penetrate the interior ballistic panel and become trapped in the insulation panel. Sheeting and trim members can be attached to the exterior ballistic panel and the shield to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garage door panels while maintaining bullet-resistant characteristics.
POLYMERIC WIND AND DEBRIS RESISTANT GARAGE DOOR WINDOW FRAME AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
A window frame assembly for installation within a garage door having front and rear exposed surfaces and one or more window openings. The assembly includes front and rear window frame members which are installed within the door openings in the garage door. The front and rear members are brought toward each other to sandwich the borders of each of the window openings while also capturing an associated transparent pane. A series of fastening members are used to hold the front and rear frame members securely against each other. The front and rear window frame members are made of synthetic polymeric starting stock starting materials which, together with the transparent panes, are able to withstand hurricane force winds and associated blowing debris.
