Abstract: A walk-in freezer door system has a doorjamb with sheets of metal covering a body of thermal insulation. A door is mounted to the doorjamb. A deadbolt housing is mounted to the outside of the doorjamb with a deadbolt mounted for reciprocal movement within the housing between a door locked and a door unlocked position. A handle is rotatably positioned inside of the doorjamb from which a shaft extends into the deadbolt housing and into operative association with the deadbolt. A longitudinal portion of the handle shaft is made of a low thermal conductive plastic. A keeper is mounted to the door in a position to receive the deadbolt with the door located within the doorjamb.

Abstract: A height adjustable support is provided for supporting food service equipment and the like at different elevations above a supporting floor.

So constructed the coupling may be inserted into a bottom channel of the food service equipment with the floor engaging member stud threaded therein and set at a selected position thereby setting the equipment height.

Abstract: A panel fastener is produced by forming a casing blank with two coplanar sides unitarily connected together at one end by a bridge, bending the bridge to bring the two sides to a position parallel with each other about a portion of a hook, and fastening together the other ends of the two casing sides thereby rotatably capturing the hook.

Abstract: A panel fastener strike comprises a unitary casing formed with two substantially parallel face plates unitarily bridged together by a strap at one end and formed with two substantially coplanar flanges at an opposite end, and a pin mounted to the two face plates spaced from the casing strap. In manufacturing the strike the face plates are bent from a coplanar orientation to a parallel orientation while simultaneously seating opposite ends of the pin in the face plate mounting holes.

Abstract: A panel fastener is produced by forming a casing blank with two coplanar sides unitarily connected together at one end by a bridge, bending the bridge to bring the two sides to a position parallel with each other bout a portion of a hook, and fastening together the other ends of the two casing sides thereby rotatably capturing the hook.

Abstract: A freezer door handle and lock assembly comprises a pull handle having a mounting end formed with a slot that is adapted to be mounted to a freezer door. A deadbolt is mounted in the pull handle mounting end for reciprocal movement along a path of travel between deadbolt locking and unlocking positions.
