Abstract: A door assembly with improved sealing between the door and door frame. The door assembly may include a door frame having a first side section and a sill section, a door including a first edge surface and a second edge surface and a hinge having a first portion connected to the first side section and a second portion connected to the first edge surface to pivotably connect the door to the door frame such that the door is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the hinge moves the second edge surface vertically downward toward the sill section only during the last 50 degrees of pivotal movement of the door from the open position to the closed position.

Abstract: A door assembly includes a door frame and a door coupled to the door frame and movable between an open and closed position. The door includes a first surface that faces in a first direction and a second surface that faces in a direction that is greater than 90 degrees from the first direction. The door assembly also includes a securing member pivotably mounted to the door frame and pivotable between a first position, in which the securing member prevents the door from moving to the open position, and a second position, in which the securing member releases the door, wherein the securing member is configured to engage both the first surface and the second surface when the securing member is in the first position.

Abstract: A door assembly including a door frame, a door coupled to the door frame such that the door is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and a seal attached to one of the door or the door frame for providing a seal between the door and the door frame, wherein the seal has an inactive phase and an active phase providing superior sealing to the inactive phase, and wherein movement of the door from the open position to the closed position results in the seal changing from the inactive phase to the active phase.
