Abstract: A frame assembly for a door light is formed with inner and outer half-frames sandwiching a translucent panel. The half-frames have a plurality of side members defining a closed polygon. Each side member includes, in cross-section, a flat portion for supporting the frame in an opening in a support, a face portion extending from the flat portion towards the center of the polygon, a third portion extending inwardly from the face portion toward the other half-frame and to a position adjacent the translucent panel, and a fourth portion extending from the third portion parallel to the face portion and away from the center of the polygon. Fasteners extend through bores in the inner half-frame and engage clips slidably adjustable in the outer half-frame to couple and secure the half-frames in the support opening. Each clip has a base with an opening receiving a fastener, and legs with flanges engaging the fourth portion and a lip on the flat portion of the outer half-frame.

Abstract: A center mull for a double or multiple door assembly has a mull base and mull closure. The door assembly has a fixed inactive door and a movable active door. The mull base and mull closure are of non-wooden material. The mull base has a base end member and base sides angularly extending from opposite end edges of the base and member. The mull base is attached to the fixed door. The mull closure has a closure end member and closure sides angularly extending from opposite end edges of the closure end member. Couplings on the free ends of the base sides and closure sides attach the mull closure to the mull base.

Abstract: A frame assembly for a door light is formed with inner and outer half-frames sandwiching a translucent panel. The half-frames are separately and similarly formed of sheet material, each with a plurality of substantially similar side members defining a closed polygon. Each side member includes, in cross-section, a flat portion for supporting the frame in an opening in a support, a face portion extending from the flat portion towards the center of the polygon, a third portion extending inwardly from the face portion toward the other half-frame and to a position adjacent the translucent panel, a fourth portion extending from the third portion parallel to the face portion and away from the center of the polygon, and a fifth portion extending inwardly from the fourth portion toward the other half-frame and about a peripheral edge of the translucent panel. Fasteners couple the half-frames and secure the half-frames in the support opening.

Abstract: An adjustable door frame includes a latch jamb, a hinge jamb, two closure jambs, a base header and a closure header, each of which is unitarily formed. The jambs and headers are adjustably connected to accommodate variations in wall thicknesses. Each of the hatch jamb, hinge jamb and base header has a trim section overlying the wall, an inside section extending into the doorway opening, a door abutment section extending perpendicularly into the doorway and a pair of parallel flanges extending perpendicularly from the abutment section and defining a slot. Each of the closure jambs and closure header has a trim section for overlying the opposite wall surface, an inside section extending into the doorway and a tongue section. The slots frictionally engage the tongue sections.

Abstract: A door is formed by latch and hinge panels which can be attached without fasteners or welding. Each of the panels is formed of a unitary piece of sheet metal and includes a rectangular face member, a side flange extending substantially perpendicularly from the face member along one of its side edges, a first latch formed along a free lateral edge of the side flange remote from the face member, a second latch formed along the opposite side edge of the face member and end flanges extending substantially perpendicularly from the face member along the end edges. The first latch of each panel is secured to the second latch of the other panel such that the panels are secured and form the door, with latches being located at diametrically opposite corners of the door. An insulating core member is located between the panels.

Abstract: A metal door is provided with a rectangular opening the edges of which are bent to form a ledge. Two half-frame structures are formed from side members and corner pieces which snap into the side members and the half-frames are placed in the opening from opposite sides and held together by threaded fasteners so that the frame does not protrude beyond the door faces. A method of cutting the plates removed from the rectangular opening to obtain all material for side members, corner pieces and muntins is disclosed.

Abstract: A threshold having an adjustable elastomeric weather seal comprising a rigid hollow assembly fixedly interposed between a door and the floor, an elastomeric seal received in a recess in the hollow assembly and extending therefrom, and a compression mechanism located inside the hollow assembly for compressing the seal against a wall of the hollow assembly to vary the amount of the seal extending therefrom. The compression mechanism comprises an elongated channel member, a plurality of internally threaded annular members coupled to the channel member and a plurality of threaded rods received in the annular members and extending through apertures in one wall of the hollow assembly.

Abstract: A sweep for the bottom of a swingable door includes an L-shaped elongated member having an elongated tube extending along the upper surface of the horizontal portion and a plurality of resilient ribs extending downwardly therefrom. The sweep is mounted on a door by attaching the vertical leg to the inner surface of the door with the tube between the bottom edge of the door and the horizontal leg. The depending ribs contact and are bent by contact with a sill at the bottom of the opening in which the door is mounted. The sweep is usable on inwardly or outwardly swinging doors.
