A kit for a frame assembly is disclosed. The kit comprises a first frame member, a second frame member, and a first and second counterpart of a corner connector. The first and second counterparts are co-operatively configured for connecting to obtain the corner connector. The first counterpart, the second counterpart, the first frame member, and the second frame member are co-operatively configured for assembly to define the frame assembly. The first frame member is coupled to the second frame member via the obtained corner connector. The corner connector is connected to the first frame member along a first side of the first frame member and is also connected along a second side of the first frame member, and the corner connector is connected to the second frame member along a first side of the second frame member and is also connected along a second side of the second frame member.

A first section is in facing contact with an exterior surface of a building. A second section is bent to extend exteriorly from the exterior surface at 90 degrees from the first section. A third section is bent at 90 degrees from the second section. A fourth section is bent at 180 degrees from the third section. A portion of the fourth section is in facing contact with the third section. A fifth section extends laterally and interiorly from the fourth section at an acute angle. A sixth section extends laterally from the fifth section parallel with the first and third and fourth sections. A seventh section is bent to extend interiorly at 90 degrees from the sixth section.

An exemplary fitting for a mullion includes a first bracket, a second bracket nested with the first bracket, and a lock cylinder assembly selectively coupling the first bracket and the second bracket. The nested brackets include a set of interleaved walls, and openings in the walls cooperate to define a pocket in which the lock cylinder assembly is seated. The lock cylinder assembly includes an armature having a first position and second position. When in the first position, the armature prevents removal of the lock cylinder assembly from the pocket such that the lock cylinder assembly prevents separation of the brackets. With the armature in the second position, the lock cylinder assembly can be removed from the pocket, after which the brackets can be separated from one another.

A component adapted to form a portion of a frame (e.g., a sill), door, trim piece, or the like. The component having a body comprised of at least one interior hollow portion that forms an opening at a first end of body, wherein the at least one interior hollow portion has a closed end such that water is prevented from traveling from a second end through the at least one interior hollow portion to the first end. A related method of manufacturing the component such as by injection molding, 3D printing, or multi-step extrusion is also provided.

An assembly for a door or window frame including an elongated sill and a corner key attached to each end of the sill. The corner key includes a water chamber for collecting water therein and a plurality of ports for diverting water from the water chamber outwardly through a drain port. The water chamber and plurality of ports are designed to temper a high-pressure gradient in the sill and effectively promote water egress away from the sill.

A Dutch door assembly includes first and second door sections, each including a composite door member and an end cap. The composite door member includes a core member disposed between first and second end stiles, together defining a front door surface, a rear door surface, and an end surface, a front door skin secured to and substantially covering the front door surface, and a rear door skin secured to and substantially covering the rear door surface. The end cap includes a cover portion covering the end surface of the composite door member and a retention portion extending from the cover portion into engagement with the core member. The end cap of the first door section includes an abutment portion contoured to engage an abutment portion of the end cap of the second door section when the first and second door sections are in pivoted alignment.

An extrusion component of a closure frame for defining an opening which is closable by a closure member and a method of making the same. The extrusion component comprises an elongate body having first and second sides, at least one of which is shaped for accommodating said closure member. The elongate body includes an outer layer integrally formed with an inner layer and the inner layer has an outer surface correspondingly shaped by or with an inner surface of the outer layer.

A one-piece sill pan flashing is provided with accordion sections enabling the flashing to be adjusted in width as necessary for installation in rough framing. The new flashing includes a sill plate cover with forwardly and downwardly inclined upper portions and lower portions extending downward from the upper portions. The accordion sections are incorporated integrally into the sill cover and are formed of narrow panels, flexibly connected along lateral edges to form V-shaped accordion folds having a series of ridges and valleys. The respective ridges and valleys are aligned in common vertical planes and are rounded through a transition curve at the front corners thereof. The flashing is injection molded in two end parts, each with one or more accordion sections. Center extensions can be used for extra wide window framing. The parts are permanently bonded and sealed at the factory and shipped and installed as one piece.

A frame door with a split connection frame is provided, including a split connection frame. The split connection frame includes a first connection frame which is provided in a frame door and a second connection frame which is provided in an other frame door. The first connection frame is provided with a slide rail groove, the second frame is provided with a slide plate which engages with the slide rail groove. The slide rail groove has a C-shaped cross section so as to wrap edges of the slide plate.

An exemplary fitting for a mullion includes a first bracket, a second bracket nested with the first bracket, and a lock cylinder assembly selectively coupling the first bracket and the second bracket. The nested brackets include a set of interleaved walls, and openings in the walls cooperate to define a pocket in which the lock cylinder assembly is seated. The lock cylinder assembly includes an armature having a first position and second position. When in the first position, the armature prevents removal of the lock cylinder assembly from the pocket such that the lock cylinder assembly prevents separation of the brackets. With the armature in the second position, the lock cylinder assembly can be removed from the pocket, after which the brackets can be separated from one another.
