Security door system
A security door system includes a door frame, a door, and an astragal. The door frame has first and second vertically extending side members that define an opening therebetween. The door is disposed within the opening and is secured to the frame via a hinged connection along the first vertically extending side member. A gap is defined between an edge of the door, that is opposite the hinged connection, and the second vertically extending side member when the door is in a closed position. The astragal has first and second plates that are secured to an outer surface of the door. The first plate extends beyond the edge such that the first plate covers the gap when the door is in the closed position. The second plate extends from the first plate in a direction away from the edge and toward the hinged connection.
Shock insulating door system and method
A door system includes a door having a frame forming at least a portion of a perimeter of the door and a sleeve configured to encase at least a portion of the frame. The frame is constructed from a first material and the sleeve is constructed from a different second material. The first material may be electrically conductive and the second material may be electrically insulating. Alternatively or additionally, the first material may be susceptible to wear and tear and the sleeve may be resilient and replaceable.
Safety system for automatic door
A safety system for an automatic door including an ultrasonic sensor installed in a rotary frame to detect motion of the rotary frame in order to stop operation of an automatic door in order to prevent injury from the door.
Anti-ligature device
An anti-ligature device for attachment to an edge of a door leaf, the anti-ligature device having a proximity sensor arranged to detect a ligature secured around the anti-ligature device. The proximity sensor may be arranged to detect a weight being suspended from a ligature secured around the anti-ligature device. The sensitivity of the proximity sensor may be user-controllable, such that the anti-ligature device can be calibrated once affixed to the door leaf.

Safety System for Automatic Door
A safety system configured to prevent a finger from getting jammed in a gap between an automatic door and a door frame and stop an operation of the automatic door when the automatic door is caught by an obstacle. The safety system prevents a safety accident when a door D1, which is disposed at a gap d from a doorframe 10, configured to slide, and made of a transparent or semi-transparent plate shaped material, is opened or closed while sliding relative to a column 20 on which a push switch for opening the door D1 is installed The safety system for an automatic door includes a first switch means S1 installed along a front edge of the door D1, and a second switch means S2 installed at a front end of the doorframe 10 to cover the gap d between a surface of the door D1 and the front end of the doorframe 10.
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.

GATE APPARATUS AND METHOD
A gate assembly for physical and aesthetic integration into any wall or fencing solution, and an associated method of assembling the same. The gate assembly includes a gate pivotably attached to a transom via a hinge. The gate includes side members and spacing tabs that create a channel system within the gate. The channel system is configured to receive a plurality of infill panels of various sizes and designs that aesthetically match the wall or fencing solution into which the gate assembly is being integrated. The gate further includes a cap attached to the top of the gate that traps the infill panels within the gate. When the gate is in a closed position, the cap is blocked by the transom, and no mechanical fasteners are accessible from either side of the gate assembly.
