  • Patent number: 5146971
    Abstract: A door suspension system has a frame mounting element and a cover element. These elements have projecting clamping elements which cooperate to clamp door strips between them to suspend the strips in a door opening. In addition, one of the cover or frame mounting elements includes a mechanism for supporting pins or other supports from which apertured door strips may be hung. Also, the cover and frame mounting elements may define channels from which door suspension strips may be hung. The combined clamping action and pin support or hanging support of the door strips results in securely supported strips. The cover element and frame mounting element cooperatively engage one another for mounting purposes. In a specifically illustrated embodiment, a set of flanges is provided on the mounting element for mating with a corresponding set of flanges on the cover element for purposes of aligning these elements as they are coupled together.

  • Patent number: 4658544
    Abstract: A door construction includes first and second panels which are thermally bonded together at their peripheral edges. A hinge receiving pocket is defined between these panels. A door supporting hinge section is insertable into this pocket for supporting the door in place. An adjustment mechanism on the door supporting hinge section tilts the outer edge of the door relative to the inner edge of the door for adjusting the alignment of the door within a door opening after the hinge is installed.
