A sill assembly for a door frame, comprising:
- a) a sub sill extending along a generally horizontal sill axis, the sub sill comprising a sub sill upper portion;
- b) a base sill extending along the sill axis, the base sill mounted to the sub sill and cladding at least a portion of the sub sill upper portion, the base sill comprising at least one base sill clip member;
- and
- c) a step sill extending along the sill axis, the step sill comprising an axially extending step sill upper surface positioned above the base sill, and at least one step sill clip member removably engaged with the base sill clip member to removably mount the step sill to the base sill.
A cover plate for a nosing of a door frame sill assembly, the cover plate extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising:
- a) a cover plate clip member for removably mounting the cover plate to the nosing;
- and
- b) a cover plate cladding portion for cladding at least a portion of the nosing, the cover plate cladding portion comprising a cladding portion depth perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and at least one marker, the cover plate cladding portion being severable at the marker to adjust the cladding portion depth to fit the nosing.
A method for repairing a door frame sill assembly, the method comprising:
- a) removing a first cover plate from a nosing of the door frame sill assembly;
- b) adjusting a depth of a cladding portion of a second cover plate to fit the nosing;
- and
- c) removably clipping the second cover plate to the nosing such that the cladding portion of the second cover plate clads the nosing.
