Abstract: A bracket is provided for use in installing door hardware on a support surface. The bracket comprises a rigid member having a longitudinal axis, a front surface, a substantially planar rear surface for engaging the support surface, and a peripheral edge extending between and joining the front and rear surfaces. A spirit bubble level is disposed on the rigid member such that the rigid member can be oriented relative to a horizontal line or a vertical line, the level having the bubble centered only when the level is horizontal or vertical. At least a portion of the peripheral edge of the rigid member provides a mounting surface for the door hardware when the rigid member is secured to the support surface.

Abstract: A door operator comprises a door driver for opening and closing a door, a controller including a microprocessor connected to and controlling the door driver, a graphical user interface comprising a display screen with touch select input coupled to the microprocessor to display information stored in the controller and to receive instructions selected from the display screen by a user, and a memory module coupled to the microprocessor and storing code executed by the microprocessor. The microprocessor under control of the code displays to the user various menu items on the graphical user interface display and enables the user to select among the menu items using the display screen with touch select input such that the microprocessor derives a control signal. Circuitry is configured to receive the control signal from the microprocessor and to carry the control signal to the door driver.

Abstract: A communicating apparatus comprises a base unit connected to a door operator, the base unit including a processor, a display coupled to the processor, a user input device coupled to the processor to allow the processor to read the state of the input device, the state of the input device being selected by the user, and a memory module coupled to the processor, the memory module storing code executed by the processor. The processor code displays to the user various menu items, enables the user to scroll among the menu items using the input device, and enables the user to select the menu item such that the processor derives a control signal. A circuitry is configured to receive the control signal from the processor and to carry the control signal to the door operator.
