  • Publication number: 20260028875
    Abstract: A frame may comprise three or more portions comprising an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of an opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the opening, and in some cases a lower portion adjacent a lower end of an opening. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around the thickness of the opening. A third segment, such as a soffit segment may be utilized to cover at least a portion of the segments. The first frame segment, the second frame segment, and/or the soffit segment may have one or more barriers located between portions of the segments. The first frame segment may be adjusted with respect to the second frame segment, and the adjustment may be made before or after activation of the one or more barriers.

  • Patent number: 12366107
    Abstract: Door systems having a vision light system that provides resistance to and protection from the elements, such as but not limited to physical impacts (e.g., penetration from projectiles), protection from fire, protection from fluid penetration, or the like. The vision light systems may be customizable in order to provide different protection rating levels depending on the requirements of the structures in which vision light systems will be used. Moreover, the vision light systems may use a light insert having a first restraining member, a second restraining member, and a vision light secured between the first restraining member and the second restraining member. The light insert allows for the ease of replacement of the vision light within the vision light system when the vision light is damaged or the vision light requires upgrading or downgrading of the desired level of protection of the vision light.

  • Patent number: 11993977
    Abstract: A frame may include three or more portions having an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of an opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the opening, and in some cases a lower portion when the opening is for a window or some doors. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around the thickness of the door opening. The segments may have one or more thermal barriers, such as a seal (e.g., u-shaped, v-shaped, or the like seal) located between portions of the segments. The first frame segment may be adjusted with respect to the second frame segment. The adjustment of the segments may be made before or after the one or more thermal barriers are installed.

The vision light systems may be customizable in order to provide different protection rating levels depending on the requirements of the structures in which vision light systems will be used. The vision light systems allow for the use of vision lights that extends past the envelope of the door. The vision light systems may utilize one or more interchangeable and/or adjustable components, such as one or more reinforcement members, one or more restraining members, one or more trim members, or the like may be utilized to secure different vision lights within the vision light system in order to provide the desired level of protection.
