Slide operator assemblies and components for fenestration units, as well as associated methods of manufacture and use thereof.

A door assembly may include a first sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a first door jamb, a second sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a second door jamb where the first and second sidelites are disposed in a common plane and define a door opening between the first and second sidelites, a first sliding panel, a second sliding panel where the first and second sliding panels are movable from a closed position disposing the first and second sliding panels to block access through the door opening and an open position in which the first sliding panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second sliding panel is proximate the second sidelite, a first partial door panel, and a second partial door panel. The first and second sliding panels are disposed in a second plane parallel to the common plane in both the open and closed position. The first and second partial door panels are operably coupled to the first and second sidelites, respectively, via hinge assemblies. The first and second partial door panels have a closed state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed in the common plane blocking access through the door opening, and an open state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed out of the common plane.

A door unit in kit form includes a partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly, a door, and extensions. The partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly includes first and second side bases substantially parallel to one another and a header base substantially perpendicular to and interconnecting the first and second side bases. The door is arranged within a space defined by the first and second side bases and the header base of the partially preassembled split doorjamb assembly so that the door, the first and second side bases, and the header base collectively establish a cavity. The first and second side extensions and a header extension are unassembled with respect to and connectable lengthwise to the first and second side bases and the header base, respectively. The extensions may be stowed within the cavity and/or stored on outer surfaces of the bases.

A casement/leaf arrangement having a casement/leaf of a window or door, with a frame profile of the casement/leaf. The frame profile having a C-shaped casement/leaf groove in the rebate, and with at least one fitting part, in particular a drive rod of a fitting, provided to be inserted into the casement/leaf groove. The casement/leaf groove has a first groove limb and a first groove portion and, located opposite, a second groove limb and a second groove portion. The fitting part has an elongate main body having a front side and a rear side. The main body has, on opposite longitudinal sides, a first peripheral region for engaging behind the first groove limb of the casement/leaf groove and a second peripheral region for engaging behind the second groove limb of the casement/leaf groove. The fitting part is pivotable into the casement/leaf groove with a peripheral region inserted into the groove portion.

A door entry system for operating a door using a wireless transmitter device containing identification credentials of a user. The system includes a door operable by an uncoupling or releasing securing mechanism, a door controller capable of operating the uncoupling or releasing securing mechanism and a door handle for grasping by the user to operate the door, the handle having a cavity, the handle being secured to the door and spaced away from a surface thereof. The system includes a wireless device reader disposed in the handle cavity and a power source connected to the card reader. The wireless transmitter may be presented in the vicinity of the reader in the door handle and, upon verification of the credentials transmitted from the wireless transmitter device, the reader sends a signal to the door controller to uncouple or release the securing mechanism and permit the door to open.

A hinge mounting structure is provided in which a door can open at a wide angle. In a hinge mounting structure including a hinge (1) having a first piece (3) and a second piece (4) that are coupled together via a shaft (2) in such a manner as to be rotatable relative to each other, the first piece (3) being mounted on a side jamb (6), the second piece (4) being mounted on an end face of a door (5), the side jamb (6) is provided with a protruding portion (8) protruding forward of a wall surface, and at least a part of the door (5) is backward of a front surface line (X), in an open position of the door (5).

A hinge mounting structure is provided whose appearance can be improved. In a hinge mounting structure including a hinge (1) having a first piece (3) and a second piece (4) that are coupled together via a shaft (2) in such a manner as to be rotatable relative to each other, the first piece (3) being mounted on a side jamb (6), the second piece (4) being mounted on a door (5), the side jamb (6) is provided with a protruding portion (8) protruding forward of a wall surface, and a center (C) of the shaft (2) is placed backward of a front surface line (X) of the protruding portion (8) of the side jamb (6).
