Abstract
A door mount includes a jamb mounted to an end of a wall, a bracket, an upper hinge and a lower hinge. The bracket includes an upper flange that extends in a direction away from the jamb, an elongated member mounted to the jamb and a lower flange that extends in the direction away from the jamb and is spaced apart from the upper flange by the elongated member. The upper hinge couples the upper flange of the bracket to the door. The lower hinge couples the lower flange of the bracket to the door.
Claims19
A door mount comprising:
- a jamb mounted to an end of a wall;
- a monolithic bracket having a first free end, an opposing second free end, a planar upper flange, a planar elongated section and a planar lower flange and being mounted to the jamb along the planar elongated section, wherein the planar upper flange is oriented out of plane relative to the elongated section at a first bend, is defined between the first free end of the monolithic bracket and the first bend and extends along a horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to the elongated section and in a direction away from the jamb at a top of the elongated section and wherein the lower flange is oriented out of plane relative to the elongated section at a second bend, is defined between the second free end of the monolithic bracket and the second bend, extends along a horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to the elongated section and in the direction away from the jamb at a bottom of the elongated section, the lower flange being spaced apart from the upper flange by the elongated section;
- an upper hinge that couples a top end of a door to the upper flange of the bracket;
- and
- a lower hinge that couples a bottom end of the door to the lower flange of the bracket.

A door mount comprising:
- a monolithic elongated bar including a substantially vertical portion attached to a door jamb that is mounted to an end of a wall, a first free end and an opposing second free end, wherein the monolithic elongated bar includes a planar top projecting portion that is oriented out of plane relative to the substantially vertical portion at a first bend, is defined between the first free end and the first bend and extends substantially normal to the substantially vertical portion and wherein the monolithic elongated bar includes a planar bottom projecting portion that is oriented out of plane relative to the substantially vertical portion at a second bend, is defined between the second free end and the second bend and extends substantially normal to the substantially vertical portion;
- a top hinge coupling a top end of a door to the planar top projecting portion;
- and
- a bottom hinge coupling a bottom end of the door to the planar bottom projecting portion;
- and
- wherein the door is oriented at an acute angle relative to the wall when at rest.

A method of mounting a door to a wall, the method comprising:
- mounting a monolithic hinge mount bar to an end of a wall, the hinge mount bar including a first free end, an opposing second free end, a planar upper flange, a planar lower flange and a planar elongated section, wherein the planar upper flange is oriented out of plane relative to the planar elongated section at a first bend, is defined between the first free end of the bar and the first bend and extends in a direction away from the end of the wall and wherein the planar lower flange is oriented out of plane relative to the planar elongated section at a second bend, is defined between the second free end of the bar and the second bend, extends in the direction away from the end of the wall and is spaced apart from the upper flange by the elongated section, the hinge mount bar providing repeated placement of the planar upper flange relative to the planar lower flange;
- fastening an upper hinge that couples to a top end of a door to the planar upper flange of the hinge mount bar;
- and
- fastening a lower hinge that couples to a bottom end of the door to the planar lower flange of the hinge mount bar.
