Publication number: 20210102406Abstract: A multipoint lock is described. The multipoint lock includes a main latch. The main latch has a latched position where the main latch is configured to extend a first distance from an unhinged edge of a door panel. The main latch is configured to be retractable toward the unhinged edge of the door panel by rotation of a latch drive hub in each of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction relative to a first side of the door panel. The multipoint lock also includes at least one auxiliary latch and a deadbolt drive hub. Rotation of the deadbolt drive hub substantially simultaneously actuates the main latch and the at least one auxiliary latch.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2020Publication date: April 8, 2021Applicant: Endura Products, LLCInventors: Tomasz Jaskiewicz, George Heid, Eric Johnson, Adam Kendall

Patent number: 9624716Abstract: A spacer for sealing a joint between a first component and a second component of an entryway. The spacer may include substantially rigid support and a first gasket having a first uncompressed thickness (T1). The first gasket is attached to a first surface of the support. The first surface has at least one first boss extending therefrom by a distance (D1) such that (D1) is less than (T1). The at least one first boss is configured to abut a portion of the first component to provide the desired compression of the first gasket between the first component and the support.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: ENDURA PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Mike Mitchell, George Heid, Tomasz Jaskiewicz, Brent Van Camp

Patent number: 9428954Abstract: The present disclosure describes a corner pad for an entryway. The corner pad may have a mounting surface configured for attachment to a frame member. The corner pad may also have a sealing surface opposite from the mounting surface. At least a portion of the sealing surface corresponds with a sealing region designed to seal against a stile of a door panel. A profile of the sealing surface within the sealing region is non-linear. Thus the profile creates a varied thickness of the corner pad within the sealing region to provide varying levels of compression when sealing with the stile, and to accommodate variations in a margin between the frame member and the stile.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Endura Products, Inc.Inventors: Tomasz Jaskiewicz, George Heid
