Abstract
An adjustable assembly double stabilized screen door that forms a strong frame and requires minimal effort to assemble, disassemble and/or tighten wherein the door contains multiple stiles and rails forming joints containing mechanical tenons.
Claims17
A screen door comprising:
- at least two rails and at least two stiles formed from a material;
- a substantially continuous spline forming at least one perimeter around at least one of the at least two rails and at least one of at least two stiles;
- a screen affixment mechanism that covers a standing ridge of the substantially continuous spline;
- wherein the at least two rails and at least two stiles form at least two joints;
- at least one mechanical tenon substantially contained within the material of at least one of the at least two joints formed by at least one of the at least two stiles and at least one of the at least two rails, wherein the at least one mechanical tenon comprises:
- a tightener mechanism;
- a threaded receiver;
- and
- an expanding anchor extending substantially perpendicularly with respect to the tightener mechanism;
- at least one access defined within the at least two stiles;
- and
- wherein the mechanical tenon is selectively tightened and loosened via engaging the mechanical tenon via the at least one access.

An adjustable assembly comprising:
- at least two rails and at least two stiles formed from a material;
- wherein the adjustable assembly includes at least one set of paired stabilizers, a first stabilizer placed internally within the material of at least one joint formed by a junction of at least one rail and at least one stile and a second stabilizer formed by overlap of a spline from a surface of at least one rail onto a surface of at least one stile over an exterior of the at least one joint;
- wherein the spline forms at least one perimeter around at least one of the at least two rails and at least one of the at least two stiles;
- a spline cover that vertically engages the spline and moves horizontally along the spline;
- and
- at least one mechanical tenon is substantially contained within the material of the at least one stile and at least one rail forming the at least one joint wherein the at least one mechanical tenon is selectively tightened and loosened and comprises:
- a tightener mechanism;
- a threaded receiver;
- and
- an expanding anchor extending substantially perpendicularly with respect to the tightener mechanism.

A process for assembling a screen door comprising:
- joining at least two stiles with at least two rails via a plurality of mechanical tenons to form a plurality of joints wherein each of the plurality of mechanical tenons is selectively tightened and loosened and comprises:
- a tightener mechanism;
- a threaded receiver;
- and
- an expanding anchor extending substantially perpendicularly with
- respect to the tightener mechanism;
- forming at least one perimeter at least one perimeter around at least one joined stile and at least one rail of the at least two stiles and at least two rails via a substantially continuous spline wherein a portion of the spline attached to at least one rail extends onto at least one stile;
- accessing the mechanical tenons via at least one access formed in the at least two stiles;
- tightening the mechanical tenons;
- placing a screen over an upright ridge formed by the substantially continuous spline;
- vertically attaching a spline cover over the screen and upright ridge in order to frictionally secure the screen between the spline cover and upright ridge without other fasteners or adhesives.
