Clear view panel for overhead door
Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.
Lighting system for a sectional door
A lighting system attaches to a sectional door. The sectional door has a plurality of hinge-connected panels which roll along left and right tracks which are connected to a structure. Each panel has an inside surface. The sectional door is positionable to a closed position and to an open position. The lighting system includes a light which connects to the inside surface of a panel of the sectional door. A movable electric contactor connects to a panel of the sectional door, and a fixed electric contactor connects to the structure. A holder carries the fixed contactor, the holder is shaped and dimensioned to removably connect to either the left track or to the right track. In the open position of the sectional door the movable electric contactor is configured to contact the fixed electric contactor and energize the light. In an embodiment a tapered receptacle is connected to the fixed electric contactor and a cooperating tapered plug is connected to the movable electric contactor. The tapered receptacle and tapered plug ensure that the two contactors align when the sectional door is closed.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION RESISTANT DOOR SYSTEM
An electromagnetic radiation (EMR) resistant door system is disclosed herein. The EMR door system comprises a shutter door, and at least one conducting substrate disposed on and extending along the height of the shutter door in a manner that the conducting substrate is facilitated to move in accordance with the movement of the shutter door. The EMR-resistant door system further comprises at least one conducting wire connected to the at least one conducting substrate attached to the shutter door along the entire length of the at least one conducting substrate on the shutter door, the at least one conducting wire linked to ground, thereby forming an electrical conduit from a top end of the shutter door to a bottom end of the shutter door, wherein the electrical conduit is connected to a permanent ground.
Threshold system with an insulated thermal break device and related methods
A threshold system with an insulated thermal break device configured to provide a thermal break for insulating a door opening and related methods is provided.
AUTOMATIC RELEASED FOLDABLE DOOR HAVING TWO-WAY DOOR STRUCTURE
Disclosed is an automatic released foldable door having a two-way door structure, which foldable door comprises a first closing door device (11) and a second closing door device (13), wherein a first door leaf (2) is connected to one side of the first closing door device (11), the second closing door device has one side connected to the first door leaf (2) and the other side thereof connected to a second door leaf (6), the second door leaf (6) is a door-in-door and a two-way door structure; and the foldable door further comprises a plurality of fixing devices (3, 31, 7) and at least one hinge (4). The foldable door has a relatively small turning radius and can be folded for receiving, and the door-in-door can be rotated in different directions.
BULLET RESISTANT GARAGE DOOR ASSEMBLY AND KIT THEREFOR
A ballistic garage door assembly and a kit for converting a standard garage door uses sheets of ballistic material secured to the exterior shell of the standard garage door panels along with inserts at the joints between adjacent garage door panels. Joint inserts applied to the horizontal ends of the garage door panels provide bullet resistant characteristics at the joints. Aluminum sheets with multiple plies of ballistic material between the aluminum sheets are applied to the entire garage door shell. Insulated foam is place on the innermost aluminum sheet to provide additional ballistic performance for the converted garage door. Increased levels of ballistic protection will utilize thicker aluminum panels and an additional external ballistic bumper to increase ballistic performance of the joints between the garage door panels. The outward aesthetic appearance of the garage door does not change appreciably, although a door lift with greater horsepower may be required.
Seamless multi-panel door
A panel of a sectional door includes a panel frame and a sheet of material that is coupled to the panel frame. The panel frame includes a top frame member, a bottom frame member, a first side frame member and a second side frame member. The frame members include a rear surface and a front surface, and the front surface includes a ledge. The sheet of material is coupled to the front surface such that a bottom edge of the sheet rests on the ledge and a front surface of the sheet is unobstructed by the panel frame.
IMPACT RESISTANT FULL VIEW DOOR
An overhead door includes a plurality of articulating panels. At least one of the plurality of articulating panels includes a frame defining an opening, the frame having a ledge and a lip extending from the ledge into the opening and a transparent panel having a first side and an opposing second side. The transparent panel is positioned adjacent to both the lip and the ledge with the first side of the transparent panel positionable adjacent the lip. The plurality of articulating panels further includes a retainer member positionable adjacent the second side of the transparent panel and operable to be fastened to the frame.
Opening/closing device
Provided is an opening/closing device that includes a structure for inhibiting a brake engage part or a lock engage part from touching an object or the like and that prevent the perimeter of a guide rail from becoming thick due to the structure. In an opening/closing device in which a brake engage part is caused to engage with a first engaged part by a close prevention device to put a brake on the closing operation of an opening/closing body, a space adjacent to the horizontal width direction end face of the opening/closing body and continuous in the opening/closing body opening/closing direction is ensured, the space is encompassed in the opening/closing body opening/closing direction by the horizontal width direction end face of the opening/closing body, the guide rail, and the support member, and a detach spot for the first engaged part and the brake engage part is arranged within the space.
QUICK RELEASE DOOR ROLLER ASSEMBLY
An improved vertical lift door roller assembly has a wheel pivotally mounted to a shaft. The shaft is placed within a spring loaded locking cylinder. The locking cylinder is movable between a first position where it restricts pivoting of the wheel and a second position where the wheel is able to pivot. When the door roller assembly is used on a vertical lift door, the wheel can be pivoted to decouple the roller from a vertical lift door J channel wheel track.
