Abstract: A reversible door (10), having a defined top, includes two notches (11, 12) on opposite sides of the door. A template is provided to fit into one of the notches (11 or 12) and installer drilled holes are formed through the door proximate one of the notches (11 or 12). Then, a mortised handle assembly (15) is positioned through the holes formed in the notch. A hinge assembly is secured to the opposite side of the door from the handle assembly. A snap cover (14) is positioned in the notch that does not have the handle assembly (15). Therefore, the door (10) is reversible without having to be flipped end for end and provides for a reversible door having mortised hardware.

Abstract: A storm door (20) ventilation through a screen (50) by either or both of slidable sashes (92, 93). The storm door may also utilize a flexible member (80) to secure a liner (30, 40, 53, 54) to a side, without the use of mechanical fasteners. Sash weight balancing assemblies are utilized in a three track door.

Abstract: A door latching assembly in which the latch operator has a unique camming member which retracts the latch member upon operation of the latching handle member, the cam action is one of rotation having a rolling contact with a spring loaded sliding fork member whereas the rolling cam and its contact point on the sliding fork after very appreciable usage shows no indication of wear.

Abstract: A grill structure for use in connection with a combination screen and storm door, the grill being formed of vertical and horizontal channel members, the horizontal members comprising segments spacing the vertical members, rods extending through the channels of the horizontal members, the channels each having a rib therein and the rods each having a slot therein to receive a rod whereby the rods are non-rotatably disposed through the channels of said horizontal members to secure the framework of the grill, U-channel members from the perimeter of the grill and screws applied through said U-channel members into the ends of said rods secure the structure. The rods are held free from rotation and torsion therealong in securing the screws and the rods need not be held by hand against rotation as the screws are applied.

Abstract: An outside door structure having a core and having an exterior or surface layer comprising a plurality of pieces sealed together at their abutting edges to provide a weather sealed exterior surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to an interior drainage formed in a channel extrusion for a door frame insert having a combination of glass and screen members wherein the interior of the upper frame structure drains downwardly and the bottom horizontal member of the frame has an interior tiered construction which receives the moisture from above and has mitred corners whereby the respective tiers drain downwardly and underlying the ends of the bottom tier hidden from view are drain passages to the atmosphere.
