A continuous hinge includes first and second leaves, an upper pivot, and a lower pivot. The first leaf is configured to secure to a first panel and the second leaf is configured to secure to a second panel. The first and second leaves each have an uppermost end adjacent a top end of the respective panel and a lowermost end adjacent a bottom end of the respective panel. The upper pivot is formed between the first and second leaves adjacent the uppermost ends thereof. The lower pivot is formed between the first and second leaves adjacent the lowermost ends thereof. The first and second leaves are configured to pivot relative to one another between a closed position in which the first and second panels are aligned on edges with one another and an open position in which the first and second panels are out of alignment with one another.

A sliding door unit has a mounting frame and an active door panel mounted in and capable of sliding relative to the mounting frame. The active door panel has a face including a panel portion and a glazing portion. The glazing portion comprises less than 65% of a surface area of the face.

Sliding door unit and components for the same

A multipoint lock for securing a door panel is described. The multipoint lock includes a first latch, a second latch, a first hub rotatable with at least one of a thumb-turn knob or a key, and a second hub rotatable with a handle lever. Upward rotation of the handle lever causes both rotation of the first hub and rotation of the second hub in the same rotational direction.

An assembly that is configured to form a seal with a bottom of a closed door panel includes a holder, a threshold cap, and a biasing member. The holder defines a pivot axis and is configured to releasably couple to a substrate of a threshold. The threshold cap includes a sealing wall and a joint portion. The sealing wall is configured to form a seal with the bottom of the closed door. The joint portion is engaged with the holder to pivotally support the threshold cap about the pivot axis. The biasing member biases the sealing wall away from the holder towards a raised position.

Threshold and threshold cap assembly

A threshold has a substrate, a sill deck, an upstanding nosing, and an upstanding dam. An upwardly open sill channel is defined between the upstanding nosing and the upstanding dam. A threshold cap extends along and at least partially overlies the upwardly open sill channel. At least one holder is formed separate from the threshold cap and is located in the upwardly open sill channel between the upstanding dam and the upstanding nosing, the at least one holder at least partially supporting the threshold cap. The holder is removably disposed within the sill channel. The threshold cap is pivotably attached to the holder. The threshold cap is capable of rotating between a raised position and a lowered position. In at least the raised position, a highest point of the threshold cap is closer to the upstanding dam than the upstanding nosing.

Threshold and threshold cap

A system, device, assembly and methods for a door assembly, including a door stile and rail connector are shown and described.

Door panel stile and rail connector system, apparatus and methods

A doorsill for forming the bottom of an entryway. The doorsill has a substrate to be disposed above a subfloor and a lifter provided on the substrate capable of extending from a bottom of the substrate. The lifter is adjustable to change the orientation or position of the bottom relative to the subfloor.

An adjustable shim for pre-hung doors or windows is described. The adjustable shim includes a base bracket configured for mounting to a frame member of the pre-hung door or window. The adjustable shim also includes a shim plate and an actuator operably attached between the base bracket and the shim plate. Rotation of the actuator raises or lowers the shim plate relative to the base bracket.

Adjustable shim and pre-hung door with the same

An adjustable shim is described for attachment to a pre-hung door or a rough opening. The adjustable shim may include a base bracket for mounting the adjustable shim to the pre-hung door or the rough opening, an inner shim, an outer shim, and a first actuator operably attached between the base bracket and the inner shim. At least one of the inner shim and the outer shim is tapered. Rotation of the first actuator translates the inner shim substantially linearly relative to the outer shim, thereby adjusting a combined height of the inner shim and the outer shim.

A shipping system for a pre-hung door having a door panel hinged to a frame. The shipping system includes a bracket configured to wrap at least partially around a portion of the frame, the bracket having a first leg for extending between the door panel and the frame. The first leg may include an opening passing therethrough. The opening is intended to align with an edge bore of the door panel and with a catch bore in the frame. The shipping system also includes a door plug for insertion into a face bore of the door panel to reside at least partially within the edge bore of the door panel. The door plug is designed to releasably engage the opening of the bracket by rotation of the door plug. The bracket is removable from the pre-hung door after the pre-hung door is installed in a rough opening.

Shipping system with pre-hung door

A doorsill having a substrate, a dam, and a sill deck is described. The dam is removably attached to the substrate to extend upwardly therefrom. The sill deck is removably attached to the substrate and removably attached to the dam. The dam has a vertical wall, and a lower portion of the vertical wall engages the substrate.
