An assembly for securely enclosing an opening defined by a building structure comprising a frame sized to be disposed to substantially surround the opening and engage the structure and a panel pivotally securable to the frame and sized to substantially cover the opening, the panel having a front and a back. Locking means for selectively locking the panel to the frame in a closed position and unlocking the panel so that it can be pivoted to an open position, the locking means comprising selectively an internal locking means manually operable only from the inside of the building and an external locking means manually operable from the outside of the building.

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.

Cabinet doors and methods of making are disclosed. A cabinet door includes a panel having an outer face and an edge disposed along a perimeter of the panel, the outer face including a dado disposed along the edge. A pair of stiles, each stile having a length, a bottom surface, and a tongue extending from the bottom surface along the length of the stile and disposed in a portion of the dado are also included. The cabinet door further includes a pair of rails, each rail having a length, a bottom surface, and a tongue extending from the bottom surface along the length of the rail and disposed in a portion of the dado. At least one butt joint is formed where at least one rail abuts at least one stile. The bottom surfaces of the at least one stile and the at least one rail contact the outer face.

A lid assembly (10) for a washing machine having a frame (2, 3) and top section (1) made of a glass material attached to the frame. The lid assembly has at least one elastic member provided between the underside of the top section and the upper side of the frame in a central area of the top section. The lid assembly reduces the risk for damaging the glass top section, such that there will be a reduced risk of breaking the glass if the lid suffers from a heavy impact. Also there is a reduced risk of scratching the glass material from underneath since the glass top section is cushioned against the supporting frame underneath at a central area of the glass top section.
