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.

One object is to provide a door leaf frame capable of easy manufacturing, a door leaf, and a method of manufacturing the door leaf frame. A door leaf frame includes: two face plates disposed on opposite surface sides of a door leaf so as to be opposed to each other; two side plates each positioned on a lateral side of the door leaf and connected to the two face plates to form a U-shaped section; and two fastening members fastened to the two face plates. The face plates and the side plates are positioned relative to each other by projections provided on the side plates and holes provided in the face plates.

A method of making a door involves providing a first door facing including a first raised region and a first panel recessed from the first raised region by a first dimension, and securing a first core insert having a thickness equal to the first dimension to the first raised region. A second door facing including a second raised region and a second panel recessed from the second raised region by a second dimension is provided. A second core insert having a thickness equal to the second dimension is secured to the second raised region. A central core component is secured to the first panel and the first core insert after the first core insert has been secured to the first raised region. The second panel and the second core insert are secured to the central core component after the second core insert has been secured to the second raised region.

Apparatus and methods are used to reinforce doors on enclosures, including coolers, refrigerators and freezers. Each door, disposed over an opening in the enclosure, includes front, back and edge panels forming an interior space. A plurality of strengthening brackets, each having multiple panels at angles to one another, are positioned within the interior space of the door such that different bracket panels are adjacent respective inner surfaces of the door front, back and edge panels. A pair of door hinges configured to couple the door to a region around the opening in the enclosure, each include fasteners that extend through the edge panel of the door and one of the panels of a respective one of the strengthening brackets. The reinforcing brackets provide protection against forces applied to door panels associated with over-opening against an edge of the enclosure, and chains or cables exerting pulling forces on door panels.

A door or window assembly includes an opening bounded by a frame including a hinge jamb (12). A panel (18) is hung relative to the hinge jamb via a hinge arrangement (20) so as to swing between an open position and a closed position. An engagement configuration includes a ledge (22) located in fixed relation to the hinge jamb, and a flange (24) rigidly associated with the panel. The engagement configuration allows me panel to swing freely between open and closed positions. In the closed position, the flange (24) is brought into facing relation with the ledge (22) such that force directed to displace the panel (18) within the plane of closure away from the hinge jamb (12) acts to bring the flange into engagement with the ledge.

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 security frame is disclosed that is adapted to be fitted to door and window openings and adjustably accommodate decorative panels of differing thicknesses. The frame includes: at least two frame members connectable together to form the frame for accommodating at least one decorative panel; at least one panel clamping bed extending along an inner sidewall of each frame member and having a clamping portion and a channel; and at least one clamping clip including at least one clamping arm configured to clamp a peripheral edge of the at least one decorative panel against the clamping portion. The at least one clamping clip and the channel connect via key arrangements configured to intermesh at a plurality of positions thereby enabling decorative panels of differing thicknesses to be accommodated and clamped to the frame.

Modular doors are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a door frame for insertion into a door opening of a support structure. The door frame includes a first side member to be parallel with a plane of the door opening when the door frame is inserted into the door opening, and a second side member angled from the first side member at a bend. The second side member has a first side to face the support structure when the door frame is inserted into the door opening. The second side member has a second side opposite the first side to face the door opening when the door frame is inserted into the door opening.

A sliding door system and method is used in an enclosure that defines an inner area shielded against a High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP). The HEMP shielded sliding door system includes an RF shielding door frame, an RF shielding door leaf mounted within an mechanical door leaf frame, a mechanical insertion and retraction assembly attached to both the mechanical door leaf frame and RF shielding door leaf and that operates to extend and retract the RF shielding door leaf into and out of the RF shielding door frame, a drive tube assembly operable to interact with and open and close mechanical door leaf frame (along with RF shielding door leaf) in a sliding motion, and a control assembly, including motor and an air regulator assembly. HEMP shielding air seals are activated when the RF shielding door leaf is inserted into the RF shielding door frame.

A corner member for a screen door comprises opposed inner and outer surfaces and first and second connectors extending between the inner and outer surfaces. The corner member further comprises a first protrusion extending from the first connector and a second protrusion extending from the second connector. The corner member further comprises a wheel guide, an adjustment mechanism, and a third connector. The wheel guide extends from the second protrusion. The wheel mechanism is pivotably connected to the wheel guide. The adjustment mechanism adjustably pivots the wheel mechanism with respect to the wheel guide. The third connector extends between the inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface, the outer surface, the first connector, the second connector, and the third connector define, at least in part, a corner cavity. The third connector comprises an opening that provides access through the corner cavity to the adjustment mechanism.
