Traffic door construction and method of making same
A frame for a traffic door having a leading edge, trailing edge, top edge, and bottom edge. The frame includes a trailing edge frame member having first and second ends and configured to extend along the trailing edge of the traffic door. The trailing edge frame member is a monolithic body having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion extends between the first and second ends in a continuous and linear manner. The trailing edge frame member further includes a first cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the first end and a second cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the second end to define a central tab. A traffic door having such a frame is disclosed. A method of forming a traffic door with such a frame is also disclosed.
Apparatus for bracing a fence gate and methods of making and using same
An apparatus for bracing a fence gate during installation of the fence gate. The apparatus includes at least one support member and a brace bar. The at least one support member is mounted to the fence gate. The brace bar has a first end, a second end and a brace portion extending therebetween. A first portion of the brace bar is connectable to the fence gate and a second portion of the brace bar is adjustably connectable to the at least one support member.

Sliding barn door kit
A barn door kit includes a plurality of pieces disassembled that are packaged in a much smaller footprint than an assembled barn door. The pieces that make up the door include a plurality of frame pieces and a plurality of panels. The frame pieces are connected together to create a frame of the door having a channel along an interior perimeter. The panels are configured to be inserted within the frame with the channel providing support. The panels include tongues on one side and corresponding grooves on the other side for securing adjacent panels together. The frame pieces and the panels are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The kit also includes a track, roller brackets, handle and hardware. The hardware includes brackets mounted to upper edges of a right side frame and a left side frame to enable the roller brackets to be secured thereto.
STRUT FOR WINDLOAD DOOR
Disclosed is strut for a wind load door comprised of connected portions disposed at angles to one another. The strut comprises a mounting portion, the mounting portion including a fastener mechanism adapted to connect the strut to a panel of the door. The mounting portion is connected with a first oblique portion, a first edge of the first oblique portion connected with the mounting portion at a first edge of the mounting portion, the first oblique portion extending at a first angle with respect to the mounting portion. The mounting portion is connected with a leg portion, a first edge of the leg portion connected with the mounting portion at a second edge of the mounting portion, the leg portion extending at a second angle with respect to the mounting portion. The leg portion is connected with a web portion, a first edge of the web portion connected with a second edge of the leg portion, the web portion extending at a third angle from the leg portion. The web portion is connected with a second oblique portion, a first edge of the second oblique portion connected with a second edge of the web portion, the second oblique portion extending at a fourth angle from the web portion. The strut may include one or more ribs extending along a portion of the mounting portion and the leg portion.
Adjustable shim and pre-hung door with the same
An adjustable shim for pre-hung doors or windows is described. The adjustable shim includes a base bracket configured for mounting to a frame member of the pre-hung door or window. The adjustable shim also includes a shim plate and an actuator operably attached between the base bracket and the shim plate. Rotation of the actuator raises or lowers the shim plate relative to the base bracket.
Adjustable shim and pre-hung door with the same
An adjustable shim is described for attachment to a pre-hung door or a rough opening. The adjustable shim may include a base bracket for mounting the adjustable shim to the pre-hung door or the rough opening, an inner shim, an outer shim, and a first actuator operably attached between the base bracket and the inner shim. At least one of the inner shim and the outer shim is tapered. Rotation of the first actuator translates the inner shim substantially linearly relative to the outer shim, thereby adjusting a combined height of the inner shim and the outer shim.
