Abstract: A floor assembly having a plurality of elongated extrusions and a cooperating snap connector that is secured to a rigid underlying support. Each extrusion includes a pair of outer leg members and a pair of inner leg members, each of the outer leg members being connected to an adjacent inner leg member by horizontal support member. Each inner leg member includes a retaining tab extending therefrom. The snap connector includes an elongated base portion and a pair of flanges attached to opposed major sides of the base portion. The retaining tabs cooperate with the bottom section of the flanges to mechanically secure the extrusions to the snap connector. The snap connector is secured to the rigid underlying support.

Abstract: A floor assembly includes at least two elongated extrusions disposed adjacent to each other where each extrusion includes a pair of outer leg members and a pair of inner leg members that are connected by a connector which engages the inner leg member and the outer leg member of one of the extrusions and the outer leg member and the inner leg member of the other extrusion. The connector includes a base and first and second end flanges where the first end flange engages the inner leg member of one of the extrusions and the second end flange engages the inner leg member of the other extrusion. A method of making a floor assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: A railing assembly for use in association with a deck having a deck surface, the deck including at least one post extending vertically upwardly from the deck surface. The railing assembly includes at least one plastic post cover for covering the post and at least one plastic rail extending from the plastic post cover. The invention further can include a fastener for securing the rail to the post and the post cover. The invention also can include a unique picket assembly, the pickets of the picket assembly being generally vertically oriented and spaced from and secured to the plastic rail. A method of assembling a railing assembly for a deck having a deck surface is also provided.

Abstract: A door locking mechanism for locking a first slidable door to a second door. A base member is mounted to a side of the second door and is positioned parallel the first door. A hinge member is mounted to the base member so as to pivot about a vertical axis. A receiving member is mounted to a face of the first door so as to be engageable by the hinge member. The hinge member includes a slidable tab portion with a downwardly extending tab. The hinge member is rotated away from the base member and the tab portion is slid downward to engage the locking mechanism within the receiving member.
