US 2026/0152991 A1 · Entry Device

Abstract

An entry device is formed from upper and lower entry components. Each entry component is formed from a jamb having pair of parallel standing sections. A swinging door is attached to one of the standing sections of each jamb. A standing section of a jamb of the upper entry component can be joined to an aligned standing section of a jamb of the lower entry component. Opposite ends of a tubular splicing element are concurrently received within the hollow ends of the aligned standing sections. Fasteners that pass through aligned openings in the splicing element and a standing section effect the connection. The entry components can be disassembled for storage and transport, and reassembled where the entry device is to be installed. An L-shaped door connection bracket can join the doors of the assembled entry device, so that the doors open and close as a unit.

Dependent claims

A kit, comprising:

an upper entry component, comprising:
an upper jamb formed from three sections that cooperate to define boundaries of an upper entryway, the sections comprising:
a first standing section;
a second standing section extending parallel to the first standing section;
and
a header section that permanently interconnects the first and second standing sections;
and
a swinging upper door pivotally attached to the first standing section and positionable within the upper entryway;
and
a lower entry component assemblable with, but disassembled from, the upper entry component, comprising:
a lower jamb formed from two sections that cooperate to define boundaries of a lower entryway, the sections comprising:
a first standing section;
and
a second standing section extending parallel to the first standing section;
and
a swinging lower door pivotally attached to the first standing section and positionable within the lower entryway.
