ADJUSTABLE FRAME WITH A THERMAL BREAK SEAL
A frame may include three or more portions having an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of an opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the opening, and in some cases a lower portion when the opening is for a window or some doors. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around the thickness of the door opening. The segments may have one or more thermal barriers, such as a seal (e.g., u-shaped, v-shaped, or the like seal) located between portions of the segments. The first frame segment may be adjusted with respect to the second frame segment. The adjustment of the segments may be made before or after the one or more thermal barriers are installed.
ADJUSTABLE DOOR FRAME FOR A SLIDING DOOR
A door frame for a sliding door system may include three (3) portions having an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of a door opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the door opening. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around different thickness of different door openings. The first frame segment and/or the second frame segment may have one or more caps, retainers, headers or the like coupled to the frame segments. The caps, retainers, or headers may have portions that are trimmed in order to allow them to mate with portions of the first frame segment or the second frame segment. The adjustment of the segments may be made before or after being installed.
DOOR SILL SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR A DOOR ASSEMBLY
A system, device, kit, assembly and methods for a frame assembly, including a door sill as shown and described. The assembly may be a door frame assembly and may, by way of example, be a door jamb and/or a door mullion including a door sill. In other embodiments, a door sill includes a base component having a slot, a deck component having a segment, and wherein the segment component press-fits within the slot to adjoin the base component and the deck component. Some inventions of the present disclosure may be considered a door sill having a press-fit removable deck.
DUAL FUNCTION SNUBBER
A snubber includes an engagement portion with a free end configured to be removably engaged within a groove in a frame. The engagement portion includes a first engagement member and a second engagement member at least partially separated from the first engagement member. The second engagement member deflecting less than the first engagement member when a negative pressure is applied to the sash.
PRIVACY SYSTEM FOR SLIDING DOORS
A privacy system for sliding doors that that has an upper privacy assembly and side privacy assemblies for coving gaps between a sliding door and walls and/or door frames of a door opening. The upper privacy assembly has a first upper member on a door and a second upper member on a wall or frame, and the first upper member will slide with respect to the second upper member when the sliding door moves. The one or more side privacy assemblies has a first side member on the door and a second side member on the wall and/or door frame that engage and disengage. When the sliding door is in the closed position, the engagement between the first upper member and the second upper member, and the first side members and second side members, aid in restricting light from passing through gaps between the door and wall and/or frame.
SLIDING DOOR FOR USE IN A MODULAR WALL SYSTEM
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for a modular wall system. The modular wall system may include a panel frame; a sliding door including a first vertical side, a second vertical side, an upper surface, and a lower surface; sliding door hardware coupled to the upper surface of the sliding door configured to translate the sliding door within the panel frame; and a sliding track seal arranged with the header including a substantially linear portion extending from the header and a curved portion configured to maintain contact with the sliding door in a closed configuration, an open configuration, and in transitioning between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
Door assembly
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 including a storage compartment. 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.
PRESS-FIT WINDOW INSERT
A press-fit window insert configured to provide secondary protection to an existing window, having a carrier, a fin, and a fastening clip. The carrier includes a substantially rigid framework having channels within the framework configured to securely accept one or more attachments. The fin extends from the carrier and includes a substantially flexible blade extending from a base portion of the fin. The base portion of the fin is configured to interlock the fin to the carrier. The fastening clip includes a substantially rigid brim extending from a base portion of the fastening clip. The base portion of the fastening clip is configured to interlock the fastening clip to the carrier.
End cap arrangements for composite door assembly
A Dutch door assembly includes first and second door sections, each including a composite door member and an end cap. The composite door member includes a core member disposed between first and second end stiles, together defining a front door surface, a rear door surface, and an end surface, a front door skin secured to and substantially covering the front door surface, and a rear door skin secured to and substantially covering the rear door surface. The end cap includes a cover portion covering the end surface of the composite door member and a retention portion extending from the cover portion into engagement with the core member. The end cap of the first door section includes an abutment portion contoured to engage an abutment portion of the end cap of the second door section when the first and second door sections are in pivoted alignment.
