  • Patent number: 11560750
    Abstract: Composite door systems are provided for use in a protective barrier structure. The composite door systems provide for quick assembly, safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats. The composite door systems may include a shell and a core that can be factory completed or finished on site. The shell may be shipped to the assembly location of the barrier structure, and the core may be formed on site by pouring liquid fill material into a cavity of the shell, which is allowed to cure into a solid fill material. Hardware housings may be operatively coupled to the shell that are made to receive door hardware but resist the liquid full material from filling the hardware housings. The shell, core, and/or hardware housings may provide resistance to damage, such as projectiles to provide enhanced security protection to the occupants or contents of the building structure.

  • Patent number: 11479980
    Abstract: A siding installation gauge includes a tool body, an upper support member, a clamp, and an actuating mechanism. A clamping portion of the clamp is inserted behind an installed lower siding board and the tool actuated to secure the lower board between the clamp and tool body. An upper siding board rests on registration surfaces on the upper support member while it is fastened for installation. The clamp includes coupling and clamping portions; movement of the actuating mechanism to an actuated arrangement retracts the coupling portion into or through the tool body and thereby forces movement of the clamp toward the tool body to secure the lower siding board. In the actuated arrangement, the actuating mechanism retains the clamp in a clamped arrangement; in the non-actuated arrangement, the actuating mechanism permits movement of the clamp into a non-clamped arrangement.
