  • Patent number: 10871025
    Abstract: A door assembly, a hanger bracket therefor and the method of using the bracket to hang the door jamb assembly, in which the door hanger bracket has an elongated body configured to provide a wall mounting tab at each end, such that said bracket can be secured to a door jamb as a unitary bracket and provide a wall mounting tab on each wall at each side of the jamb. The bracket also includes a break line such that it can be broken in two and used either on two different jambs or two different locations on the same side of a single jamb or can be located on opposite sides of the same jamb, where the jamb is too wide for the unitary bracket.

  • Patent number: 10794069
    Abstract: A door assembly, a hanger bracket therefor which comprises an elongated manually bendable body which extends from a first wall mounting tab at one end, for a distance approximately equal to the width of a door jamb, and sufficiently far beyond to provide for forming a second wall mounting tab. The elongated body includes at least one bend line extending laterally with respect to the length of said body, whereby the body can be manually bent to form said second wall mounting tab, after the bracket has been secured to the jamb of the door assembly and the door assembly located in the door opening of the wall and secured to one side of the wall by the first wall mounting tab. Two bend lines are shown such that the bracket can be used in a wall having drywall on both sides, or in a wall having drywall on only one side.

  • Patent number: 7882662
    Abstract: A door hanger (140) is disclosed for use in installation of a door assembly (100). The door hanger (140) includes a jamb arm (142) with a triangular shaped edge (144), and proximate shorter edges (145) formed inwardly from the triangular shaped edge (144) and perpendicular to each other. A pair of opposing faces (143) are formed by the triangular shaped edge (144) and the proximate edges (145), and a central hole (146) is located substantially in the center of the opposing faces (143). An alignment flange (150) is perpendicular to the jamb arm (142) and includes a distal arcuate edge (152). The arcuate edge (152) has a configuration substantially conforming to the legs of a triangle. Formed inwardly from the distal arcuate edge (152) are a pair of opposing sides (154), with sets of alignment notches (156) formed on the opposing sides (154).
