Patent number: 10697228Abstract: A doorsill for forming the bottom of an entryway. The doorsill has a substrate to be disposed above a subfloor and a lifter provided on the substrate capable of extending from a bottom of the substrate. The lifter is adjustable to change the orientation or position of the bottom relative to the subfloor.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Endura Products, LLCInventors: Thomas C. Swank, Tomasz Jaskiewicz, Bruce E. Procton, George Heid, Brent Van Camp, Michael K. Mitchell

Patent number: 10407975Abstract: A threshold includes a substantially vertically upstanding nosing extending along a longitudinal axis of the threshold and a substantially vertically upstanding dam spaced from and substantially parallel to the upstanding nosing. A threshold cap is disposed at least partially across a gap between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A support, which supports the threshold cap, is located at least partially within the gap. The threshold cap is adjustable between at least a raised position and a lowered position. The threshold cap is biased toward the raised position when the door panel of the entryway is in an open position. The threshold cap pivots about a pivot axis parallel with the longitudinal axis. The pivot axis is not a central axis of the threshold cap.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Endura Products, Inc.Inventors: Brent Van Camp, Bruce E. Procton

Patent number: 10240353Abstract: A shipping system for a pre-hung door having a door panel hinged to a frame. The shipping system includes a bracket configured to wrap at least partially around a portion of the frame, the bracket having a first leg for extending between the door panel and the frame. The first leg may include an opening passing therethrough. The opening is intended to align with an edge bore of the door panel and with a catch bore in the frame. The shipping system also includes a door plug for insertion into a face bore of the door panel to reside at least partially within the edge bore of the door panel. The door plug is designed to releasably engage the opening of the bracket by rotation of the door plug. The bracket is removable from the pre-hung door after the pre-hung door is installed in a rough opening.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Endura Products, Inc.Inventors: Bruce E. Procton, Tomasz Jaskiewicz, Michael K. Mitchell

Patent number: 10202795Abstract: A doorsill having a substrate, a dam, and a sill deck is described. The dam is removably attached to the substrate to extend upwardly therefrom. The sill deck is removably attached to the substrate and removably attached to the dam. The dam has a vertical wall, and a lower portion of the vertical wall engages the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2017Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Endura Products, Inc.Inventors: Thomas C.

Patent number: 10066433Abstract: A door entryway system is disclosed. The door entryway system may have a door sweep capable of attachment to a bottom of a door panel and a threshold assembly. The threshold assembly may include a threshold substrate, an upwardly open sill channel on the substrate and a substantially rigid threshold cap biased upwardly, and vertically adjustable by rotating during interaction with the door sweep. The threshold cap and door sweep contact to form a sealing barrier when the door panel is in a closed position. The threshold assembly may also include a cap base formed separate from the threshold cap, the cap base at least partially positioned within the sill channel, the cap base supporting the threshold cap.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Endura Products, Inc.Inventors: Brent Van Camp, Bruce E.
