Abstract: A method for creating a wood like appearance on a synthetic shutter using a sales client device, a network, computer instructions for creating a work order, a tray with scannable tray identifier to hold a shutter, a production client device connected to the network with computer instructions for applying a base coat, a glaze, and a top coat with spray treatment devices to the shutter as it automatically moves on a conveyer system. Scanning a scannable tray identifier with a plurality of sensors to link the tray identifier to the work order and to authenticate and validate the location of the tray on the conveyor system, or to initiate an alerting device. The method uses temperature control environments to control humidity and heating of the shutter while spraying, drying and UV curing.

Abstract: A low pressure, low toxicity method of making a composite door, and a door formed from the method involving the steps forming a door frame; installing a foam block within the door frame; applying a thin coating of 1 millimeter to 4 millimeters of an water activated adhesive made of isocyanate and an alkylating agent edge to edge on a front and back side of the door frame and foam block and then within a few seconds or minutes of applying the adhesive, misting the adhesive; then placing the door frame and foam block with adhesive on a back skin then overlaying a front skin on an opposite side forming a door assemblage; and applying low pressure and low heat to the door assemblage to form the composite door.

Abstract: A method for creating a wood like appearance on a synthetic component using a sales client device, a network, computer instructions for creating a work order, a tray with scannable tray identifier to hold a synthetic component, a production client device connected to the network with computer instructions for applying a base coat, a glaze, and a top coat with spray treatment devices to the synthetic component as it automatically moves on a conveyer system a portion of which is connected to the production client device. Scanning a scannable tray identifier with a plurality of sensors to link the tray identifier to the work order and to authenticate and validate the location of the tray on the conveyor system, or to initiate an alerting device. The method uses temperature control environments to simultaneously control humidity and heating of the synthetic component while spraying, drying and UV curing.

Abstract: A system for creating a wood like appearance on a synthetic component including a sales client device, a network, computer instructions for creating a work order, a tray with scannable tray identifier to hold a synthetic component, a production client device connected to the network with computer instructions for applying a base coat, a glaze, and a top coat to the synthetic component as it automatically moves on a conveyer system a portion of which is connected to the production client device. A scannable tray identifier with a plurality of sensors link the tray identifier to the work order for authenticating and validating the location of the tray on the conveyor system, or initiating an alerting device. The system has a plurality of temperature control environments to simultaneously control heating of the synthetic component while spraying, drying and UV curing with spray treatment device.

Abstract: Methods for installing a glass panel, including an insulated glass panel, a security glass panel, or a decorative leaded glass panel, to an opening in a door or a window without creating holes in the door or glass panel using a dual support connector with connector body, connector hole extending through the connector body, a glass flange integral with the connector body for overlaying an edge portion of the glass panel; an structural panel flange integral with the connector body, extending at a right angle to the connector hole away from the connector body parallel to while opposite the glass panel flange for overlaying an edge portion of the structural panel while in a plane apart from a plane of the glass flange.

Abstract: A hurricane storm resistant door assembly with a door having a frame; closed cell foam disposed within the frame; a front skin of a first fiber reinforced polymer substrate; a back skin, a top coat that covers the first and second fiber reinforced polymer substrates; at least one port door fixedly formed and secured in the foam; an opening in the port door; a double welded impact resistant grill over the opening with a leg extending from and intersecting center grid; a foot secured to each leg; a fastening hole centrally formed in each foot; a plurality of securing rings encircling a center grid member and two support barrier connections; a connection hole per foot disposed through the door, penetrating the skin and foam for fastening the double weld impact resistant grill to the door enabling the hurricane storm resistant door assembly to sustain 37 mph flying projectiles.

Abstract: A door assembly with installed glass panel, or insulated glass panel, security glass panel, or a decorative leaded glass panel, void of holes in the door or in glass panel, wherein the door assembly has a dual support connector with connector body, connector hole extending through the connector body, a glass flange integral with the connector body for overlaying an edge portion of the glass panel; an structural panel flange integral with the connector body, extending at a right angle to the connector hole away from the connector body parallel to while opposite the glass panel flange for overlaying an edge portion of the structural panel while in a plane apart from a plane of the glass flange.

Abstract: A dual support connector assembly for connecting a glass panel, including an insulated glass panel a security glass panel, or a decorative leaded glass panel, to a structural panel for a door or a window without creating holes in the door or glass panel wherein the connector has a connector body, connector hole extending through the connector body, a lower glass flange integral with the connector body for overlaying an edge portion of the glass panel; an upper structural panel flange integral with the connector body, extending at an angle to the connector hole away from the connector body parallel to while opposite the lower glass panel flange for overlaying an edge portion of the structural portion while in a plane apart from a plane of the lower glass flange.

Abstract: An external grille assembly for a door. The external grille assembly can include a door insert. The insert can have a translucent panel, an exterior frame with screw bosses, an interior frame with screw bosses attached to the exterior frame, a connector hole formed in one of the screw bosses, and a connector engaged within the connector hole. The connector can provide attachment between the insert and an external grille. The external grille can be removably and pivotably mounted to the insert and connector with a pin. The connector can include a first plate connected to a second plate, a first tubular disposed within the connector hole, a fastener engaging the first tubular within the connector hole and attaching the connector to the insert, and a second tubular for receiving the pin. Also disclosed is a method a making the external grille assembly.

Abstract: A connector for connecting a grille to a door. The connector can include a first plate connected to a second plate at a right angle. A first tubular can extend at a right angle from the first plate for inserting into a door insert frame, such as in a screw boss. The first tubular can have a hole for receiving a fastener and fastening the connector to a door. A second tubular can be disposed proximate an intersection of the first plate and the second plate. The second tubular can have a hole extending at a right angle to the hole of the first tubular for receiving a pin that can be used to connect a grille to the connector.
