Disclosed is a sectional door adapted to withstand high wind load and impact from flying debris. The door includes a glazing bead to secure glazing panels into frames formed by the rails and stiles of the door. The bead is connected with the frame by engagement between extensions on the bead and respective lips along the edges of the frame. The bead is pressed against the frame, causing the extension to elastically flex to allow the extensions to fit between the lips. The extensions are received in gaps formed by the lips to secure the bead in place on the frame. Force on the door cause by high winds is communicated from the glazing panel through the bead and to the frame. The door also includes reinforcements arranged along the rails to communicate forces, such as high wind load forces, from the frame to the edges of the doorway surrounding the door. The reinforcements include endcaps that increase stiffness of the rails to prevent the rails from buckling during severe weather events.

A door is assembled from a plurality of straight lengths of extrusion, with the lengths of extrusion mated with corners at the top and bottom. The top corners are curved and interference fit to terminal ends of the top and side extrusions. The top and side extrusions have an opening into a cavity. As assembled, a continuous screen groove extends through the corners from the top, bottom, and side extrusions. The door includes transverse extrusions having an enclosed cross-sectional profile that are affixed to the side extrusions with alignment ends. The bottom corners interference fit to terminal ends of bottom extrusions and side extrusions.

A sliding door system for inline closure of an opening in the wall of a structure, which may be a building or an item of furniture, for example, that includes a door panel, a guiderail assembly, and a guiderail coupled to the wall mount via a plurality of doubled-hinge assemblies that together serve to allow the guiderail to pivot towards and away from the wall, and includes a stop on the guiderail that serves as a catch, or cam, that causes a closing force on the door panel to be transferred to the double-hinge assemblies and to cause the door panel to be pulled into inline closure in the opening.

A mitred corner of a frame has a clamp 1 clamping together a top member 2 and a side member 3. The corner is at a corner of a glass panel 4 accommodated within a frame made up of four such members, each clamped together by similar clamps. The frame members are mitred at 45° with faces 8. Webs 7 of the frame members are drilled with bores 9 fixing screws 10 The screws engage in two clamp elements are used at each corner, in the form of stainless steel blocks 12,13. The block 12 has at its end close to the mitre faces 8, a 45° surface 17 and a threaded end bore 19 is provided. The block 13 has a finger 24 extending past the face 8. The finger has a clearance screw bore 25 and at its distal end a snib 26 directed towards the block 12.

Provided is a frame forming structure for use with a frame and a sash of an aluminium-wood combined door/window. The door/window may include at least a door/window frame or a door/window sash frame. The door/window frame or the door/window sash frame is formed by two connecting adjacent profile frame strips by means of an angle forming device and a round tenon rod on adjacent connecting end surfaces. Symmetric U-shaped notches for positioning the angle forming device and symmetric round tenon rod holes are processed on the connecting end surfaces of the two adjacent profile frame strips. A round tenon is used for positioning and inserted into the symmetric round tenon rod holes. A assembly-type the angle forming device is fixed the two adjacent profile frame strips. The disclosure has characteristics of increasing connecting strength of an angle portion and sealing performance after angle formation, improving convenience of frame formation.
