Patent number: 10697227Abstract: An exemplary fitting for a mullion includes a first bracket, a second bracket nested with the first bracket, and a lock cylinder assembly selectively coupling the first bracket and the second bracket. The nested brackets include a set of interleaved walls, and openings in the walls cooperate to define a pocket in which the lock cylinder assembly is seated. The lock cylinder assembly includes an armature having a first position and second position. When in the first position, the armature prevents removal of the lock cylinder assembly from the pocket such that the lock cylinder assembly prevents separation of the brackets. With the armature in the second position, the lock cylinder assembly can be removed from the pocket, after which the brackets can be separated from one another.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Jack R. Lehner, Jr., Matthew A. Phillips

Patent number: 10487570Abstract: An exemplary door has a hollow interior, and includes a first panel and a second panel that are secured to one another such that a gap is formed therebetween. Each panel has an interior side that faces the hollow interior and an exterior side that is exposed to view. The door further includes a protective coating system that is disposed on the interior side of at least one of the panels. The coating is formed of a two-part elastomeric composition, such as a two-part elastomeric polyurethane composition or a two-part elastomeric polyurea composition. The coating improves the thermal, acoustic, and/or ballistic performance characteristics of the door.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Schlage Lock Company LLCInventors: Brian C. Eickhoff, Karen Bishop, David J. Wells, Matthew A. Phillips
