A Dutch door assembly includes first and second door sections, each including a composite door member and an end cap. The composite door member includes a core member disposed between first and second end stiles, together defining a front door surface, a rear door surface, and an end surface, a front door skin secured to and substantially covering the front door surface, and a rear door skin secured to and substantially covering the rear door surface. The end cap includes a cover portion covering the end surface of the composite door member and a retention portion extending from the cover portion into engagement with the core member. The end cap of the first door section includes an abutment portion contoured to engage an abutment portion of the end cap of the second door section when the first and second door sections are in pivoted alignment.

End cap arrangements for composite door assembly

A door assembly with improved sealing between the door and door frame. The door assembly may include a door frame having a first side section and a sill section, a door including a first edge surface and a second edge surface and a hinge having a first portion connected to the first side section and a second portion connected to the first edge surface to pivotably connect the door to the door frame such that the door is pivotable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the hinge moves the second edge surface vertically downward toward the sill section only during the last 50 degrees of pivotal movement of the door from the open position to the closed position.

Door assembly

A door assembly includes a door frame and a door coupled to the door frame and movable between an open and closed position. The door includes a first surface that faces in a first direction and a second surface that faces in a direction that is greater than 90 degrees from the first direction. The door assembly also includes a securing member pivotably mounted to the door frame and pivotable between a first position, in which the securing member prevents the door from moving to the open position, and a second position, in which the securing member releases the door, wherein the securing member is configured to engage both the first surface and the second surface when the securing member is in the first position. The door assembly may also include a latching assembly mounted to the door frame, wherein, in a first state, the latching assembly holds the securing member in the first position, and, in a second state, the latching assembly releases the securing member to allow the securing member to pivot from the first position to the second position.

Provided herein are devices for installing jamb assemblies and like structures within a rough opening. In certain embodiments, the installation device comprises a guide portion attached to a jamb assembly and a spacer portion operatively connected to the guide portion and configured to selectively move relative to the guide portion to provide adjustment of the jamb assembly relative to the rough opening.
