    Abstract: A sliding door system includes a stationary door frame, a sliding door panel installed in the stationary door frame and movable between closed and open positions, and a handle assembly coupled to the sliding door panel. The handle assembly includes a handle spindle extending into a vertical stile of the sliding door panel, a cam coupled to the handle spindle within the vertical stile and movable between stowed and extended positions, and a handle coupled to the handle spindle and rotatable about a pivot axis extending through the handle spindle between first and second positions. Rotating the handle from the first position to the second position causes the cam to move from the stowed position to the extended position and into engagement with the stationary door frame, whereby the sliding door frame is forced away from the stationary door frame from the closed position to the open position.

    Abstract: A door assembly includes a door having opposing first and second surfaces and a hole defined in the door and extending between the first and second surfaces, a cylinder lock mounted to the second surface at the hole, and a cylinder dry lock assembly mounted to the door at the hole adjacent the first surface. The cylinder dry lock assembly including a main body that defines a central orifice, a low-friction member received within the central orifice, and an actuation mechanism extending from the low-friction member and engageable with the cylinder lock. Actuating the cylinder lock rotates the actuation mechanism, and the cylinder dry lock assembly generates a sealed interface at the hole that prevents water from migrating between the first and second surfaces at the hole.

    Abstract: An enclosure system for a building includes an entryway for the building defined by opposing left and right frame-side jambs and a frame-side transom extending between the left and right frame-side jambs, and a temporary enclosure system removably installable within the entryway. After removing the temporary enclosure system from the entryway, the enclosure system further includes a left door-side jamb attachable to the left frame-side jamb to form an assembled left jamb, a right door-side jamb attachable to the right frame-side jamb to form an assembled right jamb, and a door-side transom attachable to the frame-side transom to form an assembled transom. One or more doors are hung within the entryway and extend laterally between the assembled left and right jambs and vertically to the assembled transom.

    Abstract: Methods of making new 2xxx aluminum alloy sheet products are disclosed. In one approach, a method comprises artificially aging a 2xxx aluminum alloy in at least two-steps. In one embodiment, the first aging step comprises first aging a 2xxx aluminum alloy at a first temperature of from 300° F. to 450ºF and for a first aging time of from 4 to 120 hours, and second aging the 2xxx aluminum alloy at a second temperature for a second aging time of from 30 minutes to 120 hours, wherein the second temperature is from 20° F. to 150° F. lower than the first temperature. The new two-step artificial aging step may facilitate an improved combination of properties, such as an improved combination of two or more of strength, ductility, fracture toughness, and corrosion resistance.
