Abstract
A door which is adjustable in length and breadth is defined by an outer sash having a generally rectangular configuration. A hinge side of the sash nests within a U-sweep member running along its length. The U-sweep member interfaces with the sash through a step adjust adaptor secured to a hinge side member of the sash and extending along at least one of its inner and outer faces. The step adjust adaptor interfaces with the U-sweep member through a series of spaced apart detents which may be ridges and grooves to provide incremental adjustment of the breadth of the door. An L-sweeper is securable to a bottom member of the sash and is adjustable to vary a length (height) of the door.

- each of said hinge side and bottom members having an inner face opposite an outer face;
- said hinge side member having an edge face extending between its inner and outer face;
- said bottom member having a downwardly facing lower face extending between its inner and outer faces;
- a U-sweep member having a generally rectangular U-shaped cross-section having a base and opposite side legs defining a channel for receiving part of said hinge side member between said opposite legs with a respective of said opposite side legs facing front and rear faces of said hinge side member;
- a step adjust adaptor secured to said hinge side member and extending along at least one of said outer and inner faces of said hinge side member between said hinge side member and said opposite legs of said U-sweep;
- said step adjust adaptor and said U-sweep member having respective parts of a step lock mechanism running along a length thereof, said step lock mechanism providing a plurality of spaced apart detent positions for arresting said U-sweep member with its base as pre-determined spacings from said edge face of said hinge side member to vary a breadth of said door.
