Framing assembly for a door light

A framing assembly for mounting a door light in an opening in a panel having a front skin spaced apart from a back skin to define a hollow space between the skins, each of the skins having an exterior surface and an interior surface and an opening having a perimeter, said framing assembly comprising:

• at least one channel section having a web member, said channel section being configured to be positioned within the space between the skins so that said web member spans between the interior surfaces of the front and back skins and is recessed from the perimeters of the openings in the front and back skins, wherein said web member of said channel section further includes at least one bevel to form a welding pocket between said bevel and said interior surface of at least one of said front skin and said back skin;
• at least one first frame section having a first leg and a second leg, said second leg being substantially perpendicular to said first leg, said first frame section being attached to said channel section so that the second leg is positioned within the perimeter of the opening in the front skin, said first frame section further including a latch member;
• and
• at least one second frame section having a first leg and a second leg, said second leg of said second frame section being substantially perpendicular to said first leg of said second frame, said second frame section further including a clip member which cooperates with said latch member to retain said second frame section within the perimeter of the opening in the back skin.

• at least one channel section having a web member, said channel section being configured to be positioned within the space between the skins so that said web member spans between the interior surfaces of the front and back skins and is recessed from the perimeters of the openings in the front and back skins, said web member of said channel section defining at least two guide grooves for receiving fasteners;
• at least one first frame section having a first leg and a second leg, s aid second leg being substantially perpendicular to said first leg, said first frame section being attached to said channel section so that the second leg is positioned within the perimeter of the opening in the front skin;
• and
• at least one second frame section having a first leg and a second leg, said second leg of said second frame section being substantially perpendicular to said first leg of said second frame, said second frame section further having an inclined member extending from said second leg of the second frame section, said inclined member defining a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners;
• wherein said second frame section is attached to said channel section by inserting fasteners through said plurality of openings and threading said fasteners through one of said guide grooves.

• and
• at least one second frame section having a first leg and a second leg, said second leg of said second frame section extending from said first leg of said second frame section, said second frame section further including a clip member which cooperates with said latch member to retain said second frame section within the perimeter of the opening in the back skin;
• wherein
• said bend of said first frame section is disposed against said second leg of said second frame section thereby assuring a snug fit between said second leg of said second frame section and the interior surface of the back skin whereby said second frame section is further retained within the perimeter of the opening in the back skin;
• said web member of said channel section further includes at least one bevel to form a welding pocket between said bevel and the interior surface of at least one of the front and back skins of the panel.
