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.

A door system includes a door having a top edge, a leading edge, a trailing edge and an inner face. A first gasket is deformed into engagement with the inner face adjacent the top edge, a second gasket is deformed into engagement with the inner face adjacent the top edge and spaced from the first gasket. An acoustic barrier is positioned to close a gap between the first gasket, the second gasket and the inner face. A third gasket is mounted to a structure adjacent the door and a fourth gasket is mounted to the trailing edge of the door. Sealing members on the first gasket engage sealing members on the second gasket when the door is in the closed position.

A door is provided for restricting access through a doorway aperture. The door is defined at one or more peripheral faces, and is movable between a closed position in which the door is substantially aligned with the doorway aperture and an open position in which the door is pivoted from alignment with the doorway aperture to either side of the doorway aperture. The door has a door member defining a pair of major faces and at least one minor face at a peripheral edge of the major faces where a cross-section of at least one of the minor faces of the door member is configured to be substantially curved, so that in operation when the door is moved between its open position and closed position from either side of the doorway aperture, the minor faces remain proximate to at least one peripheral face of the doorway aperture.

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.

Disclosed is a sill assembly and sill that can be positioned continuously under doorways with swing doors, sidelites, and vertical door frame members such as vertical jambs, and mull posts, or the vertical members of sidelites. One variation of the sill assembly can be used for inswing doors while another can be used for outswing doors. The sill assembly includes a backstop and optionally can include end dams. These in combination with the structure of the sill assembly shed water away from the building structure and allow for the possibility of the sill assembly being installed without an additional sill pan or flashing. The sill assembly can optionally include one or more thermal breaks. The sill assembly can be structured so the thermal breaks of the door, sidelites, and vertical door frame members all align with the thermal breaks of the sill assembly.

In example implementations, a header seal for a vertical stacking panel door is provided. The header seal includes a header channel and a seal plate. The header channel includes a body portion comprising a plurality of openings to receive a mechanical fastener and a lip portion coupled to the body portion. The seal plate includes a bracket comprising a plurality of openings to receive a mechanical fastener to connect the bracket to the top most vertical panel and a flexible member to contact the lip portion to form a seal against the lip of the header channel when the vertically stacking panel door is in a closed position.

A weather strip includes a carrier portion and a sealing portion. The carrier portion is formed form a first material that has a first resilience. The carrier is configured to mount to a surface of a frame member of an entryway. The sealing portion is integrally formed with the carrier portion and is formed form a second material. The second material has a second resilience that is greater than the first resilience. The carrier portion and the sealing portion have a constant profile along a length of the weather strip.
