A frame assembly, for use in window and door applications configured to retain a panel, comprising a frame with a cover assembly and a support assembly having a track assembly, and a sill assembly and a header assembly both interconnected to a securing surface. The cover assembly is interconnected to the support assembly. The sill assembly comprises a roller member disposed in supporting relation to the track assembly, and the header assembly is disposed in supporting relation to the support assembly so that the frame is movable relative to both the header assembly and the sill assembly. At least a portion of the frame comprises a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width. The predetermined thickness is substantially less than the predetermined width so that both cooperatively and concurrently enhance viewing through the panel and the frame's stability.

A secure sliding closure having a modular frame and one or more sliding door is described. The modular frame defines at least one secure cavity and a portal and comprises a main frame and at least one door frame. The main frame comprises at least one frame upright spaced apart from at least one portal upright and a respective at least one top plate extending between the at least one frame upright and the at least one portal upright. The at least one door frame comprising a locking side upright spaced apart from a secure cavity upright and a door frame top plate. The modular frame defines at least one secure cavity and defines a portal. The one or more sliding door comprises a sliding leaf and a sliding leaf covering, the covering comprising one or more sliding door security panel.

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 jamb assembly for a door frame includes an elongate jamb channel defining an interior space, an elongate cap member having a pair of spaced apart opposing in-turned portions, and a clip for securing the cap member to the jamb channel. The clip includes a base, a pair of opposed spaced apart resilient tabs extending from the base, and a pair of spaced apart retaining portions extending from the base, each retaining portion comprising a proximate resilient portion and a distal wing portion. When the base is located in the interior space, the tabs abut ridges that extend partially into the interior space, and the resilient portions are biased to engage the ridges. The resilient portions of the clip are configured to deform to allow the wing portions to pass between in-turned portions of the cap member and are biased to engage the in-turned portions.

An outswing sill that is ADA compliant includes a top surface that extends from an outside edge that is configured to be positioned on an exterior side of a door when the door is in a closed configuration to an inside edge that is configured to be positioned on an inner side of the door when the door is in the closed configuration. The top surface has a sealing ramp that increases in height in a direction from the outside edge towards an inside edge. The sealing ramp is configured to be engaged by a door sweep of the door to form a seal with the door sweep when the door is in the closed configuration. The entire top surface having vertical rises of 0.25 inches or less, a total height of 0.5 inches or less, and having a rise:run slope of 1:2 or less.
