Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for installing a closure assembly into a framed opening having sheathing arranged around the framed opening. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include use of at least one support bracket along the framed opening and the sheathing.

A first end portion of a connecting part of a connecting member reaches a locked member arranged such that the thickness direction of one of two construction materials is an axial direction N, and a second end portion of the connecting part reaches the other one of the two construction materials. The second end portion is formed to have a torsion angle α as an inclination angle to the axial direction N. When the second end portion is coupled with the other construction material by a coupling fitting, the torsion angle α reduces or disappears, a torsion angle to the axial direction N is generated in the first end portion, the first end portion locks on the locked member, and the connecting member connects the two construction materials.

A system, device and method of framing an opening, such as a window, in a clad façade 12 structure to align the window units 22 to be positioned adjustably so that the exterior sight lines align the windows without custom fabrication of the clad façade. This allows irregular variations in the original building structure to be eliminated by a perfectly aligned façade. A frame 20 has wide flanges 40 to allow the defined inner box frame area 34 to be positioned and then the frame can be shimmed to that position. Sections of frame 20 are joined by an angled member 54 with flat portion which are received in slots 56 in frame sections at their edges.

The herein described invention is a window installation apparatus comprising of at least one wedge-shaped distance piece. The apparatus according to the invention comprises a body (1) connected in a sliding manner to a clamp (3) between which an expansion unit is positioned, comprising at least one wedge (6) and a lead screw (9) connected by means of a threaded connection with an opening (12) of the wedge (6), wherein the body (1) has protrusions (2) positioned at its opposite sides, lateral rails (5) mating with brackets (4) of the clamp (3) and an opening (10) in a rest wall (11) for the lead screw (9), while the outer walls (7) of the wedge (6) and the inner walls (8) of the body (1) and the clamp (3) converge downward at the same angle.

A gate assembly is formed from a gate attached by hinges to a frame. A pair of L-shaped brackets are attached to the outer sides of the frame. The brackets are in turn attached to a pair of gate posts in a barrier. Bolt holes formed in the header section of the frame receive removable eye bolts that may be used as hoisting points as the frame is being positioned within a barrier. To maintain the shape of the frame during such positioning, a removable sill section is included in the base of the frame. The first upright section of the frame defines an unobstructed internal channel bounded by input and output portals. A cable may pass though the channel and into the gate by way of the output portal. Window openings in the gate may be fitted with removable window panels containing pickets and infill material. Dual gates may be positioned within an enlarged frame, and a removable mullion post positioned between the gates and supported by the frame.

The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include use of at least one support bracket along the framed opening and the sheathing.

A construction packer comprising a base part including a base shim and a wall component extending substantially perpendicular to the base shim, the wall component having a first interlocking feature; and a stacking shim configured to be placed on top of the base shim and having a second interlocking feature provided at an edge thereof that engages with the first interlocking feature to provide an assembled construction packer.

A gate assembly is formed from a gate attached by hinges to a jamb. A pair of L-shaped brackets are attached to the outer sides of the jamb. The brackets are in turn attached to a pair of gate posts in a barrier. Bolt holes formed in the header section of the jamb receive removable eye bolts that may be used as hoisting points as the jamb is being positioned within a barrier. To maintain the shape of the jamb during such positioning, a removable sill section is included in the base of the jamb. The first upright section of the jamb defines an unobstructed internal channel bounded by input and output portals. A cable may pass though the channel and into the gate by way of the output portal. Window openings in the gate may be fitted with removable window panels containing pickets and infill material. Dual gates may be positioned within an enlarged jamb, and a removable mullion post positioned between the gates and supported by the jamb.

A system, device and method of framing an opening, such as a window, in a clad faade 12 structure to align the window units 22 to be positioned adjustably so that the exterior sight lines align the windows without custom fabrication of the clad faade. This allows irregular variations in the original building structure to be eliminated by a perfectly aligned faade. A frame 20 has wide flanges 40 to allow the defined inner box frame area 34 to be positioned and then the frame can be shimmed to that position. Sections of frame 20 are joined by an angled member 54 with flat portion which are received in slots 56 in frame sections at their edges.

A door assembly and a frame member for a door assembly. The door assembly may include at least one door panel and a door frame having a plurality of frame members including a header and a pair of side jambs. The invention may also be considered a frame member. The frame member may include a core; and a top piece adjoining the core to form a structural member. The core and the top piece may be a composite of cellulosic material and at least one other material. The top piece may be a two-piece top piece and may include hollow cavities. Also disclosed are door jamb frame members and mullion frame members.
