The fire resistance of a metal skin covered door wherein the stile on the lock side projects between the skins for on site trimming purposes is more than doubled by directly connecting one leaf of each hinge to one of the skins and by directly connecting the skins to each other with a metal strap positioned on the top of the door close to the lock side edge thereof.

Fire-resistant door

An eave thermal baffle for insulation adapted to be fastened on the exterior building wall and between adjacent roof framing members or other framing as may be appropriate. The baffle comprises a flat portion called the plate section adapted to lie on the top plate of the exterior wall and to be fastened thereto or placed against the exterior face of the exterior wall and to be fastened thereto. Extending vertically from this flat portion is a wall portion adapted to be fastened to the inner faces of appropriate framing members. Extending from this wall portion is a main baffle section which extends inwardly of the building and upwardly from the vertical wall. The main baffle section may also be fastened to the inner faces of a pair of appropriate framing members. Upstanding ribs extending along the sides of the main baffle section, and the main baffle section, serve to form a trough or channel for movement of ventilating air. The baffle prevents air and moisture from going in through the eave-soffit area, or the eave construction, and penetrating the insulation. The baffle assures the free movement of ventilating air into the structural cavity to assist in the removal of any moisture laden air which migrates up through the ceiling construction and to assist also in the removal of the hot air in the structural cavity caused by the 'sun effect' whereby the ambient attic temperature is reduced, thereby reducing the air conditioning energy cost.
