Filler frames for mounting on exterior or interior surfaces of metal building siding panels, and also configurable for mounting around cut-out openings in siding panels. Filler frames include one or more connected frame panels having a substantially flat top portion, and a bottom portion having a bottom surface that is shaped to nest on and mate with a correspondingly shaped portion of a repeating ridge pattern of the respective building side panel on which each of the frame panels is configured to be mounted upon, thus leaving no gaps between the filler frame and the building siding panels. Frame panels of filler frames may alternatively have one or more foam portions attached to a bottom surface providing for an effective seal. One or more gaps are formed in such foam portions to facilitate the use of fasteners for mounting of the filler frame to a building siding panel.

A kit for maintaining the compression of a glazing leg gasket extending around the entire perimeter of a receptor frame. Once the glazing unit is installed within the receptor frame, the kit includes at least one sill anchor block disposed atop the sill of the receptor for engagement with the glazing frame and at least one head retention clip operable to apply a force to the glazing frame and against the receptor frame. The at least one head retention clip is adjustable to vary the compressive force applied to the glazing leg gasket.

A window glazing assembly that can convert an existing or already-installed window, or be used to assemble new construction windows as a multi-pane or multi-glazed window unit, is provided herein. In particular, the glazing assembly includes an attachment assembly (e.g., peel-and-stick double-sided adhesive tape) and one or more glazing layers. Some embodiments further include a spacer assembly comprising a plurality of spacer bars that may be individually installed, e.g., one by one, around the perimeter of the window such as, to the window sash, window frame, or glass window pane, itself. The glazing layer(s) can then be secured or adhered to the spacer assembly, for example, around the perimeter thereof. Some embodiments may include additional or intermediate glazing layers, providing additional insulating airspaces and enhanced performance.

A door frame 1 has a frame post 3 which is secured with a rear side 5 against a reveal 7 of a wall opening 9 by means of a number of wall clamps 13. Each wall clamp 13 has two clamping parts 15, 17, each consisting of a fastening part 19, 21 and a clamping jaw 23, 25. At the rear 5, the frame post 3 is provided with a groove 27 which extends over the entire length of the frame post 3 and is present at an angle 29 of 10-50 degrees to the rear side. The fastening part 21 of the clamping part 17 partly protrudes into the groove 27 and is displaceable in and out of the groove 27 by turning screws 31 more or less in the door frame 3, which screws protrude through holes 35 present in the clamping jaw 25.

A kit for maintaining the compression of a glazing leg gasket extending around the entire perimeter of a receptor frame. Once the glazing unit is installed within the receptor frame, the kit includes at least one sill anchor block disposed atop the sill of the receptor for engagement with the glazing frame and at least one head retention clip operable to apply a force to the glazing frame and against the receptor frame. The at least one head retention clip is adjustable to vary the compressive force applied to the glazing leg gasket.

The invention relates to a device (1) for securing frames (2), comprising a retaining plate (5) and two cooperating clamping angles (6a, 6b), wherein a first clamping angle (6a) and/or a second clamping angle (6b) are arranged on the retaining plate (5) such that they can shift relative thereto, so that a span width of the clamping angles (6a, 6b) can be changed. To ensure a simple handling of the device (1), it is provided according to the invention that the clamping angles (6a, 6b) are arranged on the retaining plate (5) in a rotationally fixed manner and each comprise at least one planar clamping element and at least one connecting piece. The invention also relates to a use of a device (1) of this type. The invention furthermore relates to two methods for securing a frame (2) to a wall (3), wherein if necessary, a first clamping angle (6a) is connected to a retaining plate (5) and the retaining plate (5) is secured to an inner side of the frame (2). To achieve a simple securing of a frame (2), it is provided according to the invention that the frame (2) is inserted into a wall opening, whereupon a second clamping angle (6b) is connected to the retaining plate (5) in a rotationally fixed manner across from the first clamping angle (6a), after which the first clamping angle (6a) and the second clamping angle (6b) are connected using at least one adjusting means and a span width is reduced until a sufficient clamping force on the wall (3) is reached in order to fix the frame (2) to the wall (3).

Blast, ballistic, and entry resistant compression frame systems include a plurality of bolts, an exterior frame assembly having a peripheral flange and a plurality of sleeves that receive the bolts, an interior frame assembly having a peripheral flange and a plurality of apertures that receive the bolts therethrough, an exterior gasket between the peripheral flange of the exterior frame assembly and an exterior surface of the wall of the building, and an interior gasket between the peripheral flange of the interior frame assembly and an interior surface of the wall of the building. The exterior frame assembly peripheral flange and the interior frame assembly peripheral flange apply a compression force to the wall when the bolts are torque tightened into the threaded sleeves. Methods of installation in a wall of a building are also provided.

A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame(s).

A door assembly, a hanger bracket therefor and the method of using the bracket to hang the door jamb assembly, in which the door hanger bracket has an elongated body configured to provide a wall mounting tab at each end, such that said bracket can be secured to a door jamb as a unitary bracket and provide a wall mounting tab on each wall at each side of the jamb. The bracket also includes a break line such that it can be broken in two and used either on two different jambs or two different locations on the same side of a single jamb or can be located on opposite sides of the same jamb, where the jamb is too wide for the unitary bracket.
