The metal door frame includes at least one second door frame segment for upper and side portions of the door opening, the at least one second door frame segment having a second molding flange, a second jamb face adjacent to the molding flange, a second stop flange adjacent to the jamb face, a second stop face adjacent to the stop flange, and a third stop flange adjacent to the stop face. The metal door frame includes a thermally insulative layer between the first door frame segment and the second door frame segment.

SECURELY ATTACHABLE EXTENSION PANELS FOR DOORS
20190093421 · 2019-03-28 ·

Systems and devices for providing extension panels for doors. The extension panels may be physically coupled to the door using, for example, a bracket that may be coupled along a vertical edge and/or top edge or bottom edge of the door. In some instances, the bracket may include a channel that may be sized and shaped to receive and securely engage an elongated pin that may be physically attached to the extension panel. In some implementations, the bracket may include an H-shaped bracket that forms two cavities. One of the cavities may engage a portion of the extension panel and the other cavity may engage a portion of the door to physically couple the extension panel and the cavity.

Gypsum composites used in fire resistant building components

A composite product includes gypsum in an amount of 60 to 90% by weight, fibers in an amount of 1.5 to 26% by weight substantially homogeneously distributed through the composite, and a rheology-modifying agent in an amount of 0.5 to 6% by weight. The composite is caused or allowed to cure to form a cured composite. The cured composite is a fire resistant component used in a fire-rated door core, a fire-rated door or a fire-rated building panel. The fire resistant component may include a building panel, a door panel, a door core, a door rail, a door stile, a door lock block, a door border, or a door insert.
