To maintain a premanufactured sliding sash window assembly square and distortion-free during shipment and until completely installed in a building, the two vertical sides of the window frame are connected by a tension element which prevents outward bowing of the two frame sides. Protective clips are installed on the top and bottom rails of the exterior sliding window sash near the corners of the sash and are secured to the sash by adjustable clip and sash encircling bands. The upper sash clips include posts which are releasably anchored to interior faces of the window frame. The upper and lower sash clips include vertical spacing fingers which engage between the vertical edges of the exterior sash and opposing vertical faces of the window frame to provide proper spacing of the exterior sash relative to the vertical sides of the frame. The system causes the exterior sash to be locked within the frame near the top of the frame and to form a powerful brace for the window frame during handling, shipping and installation of the window assembly. The rigidifying system is removed from the assembly only after the installation of the assembly is completed.

A metal clad foam-filled fabricated door panel utilizes scrap metal generated in another product line to form a simulated stile and rail door having a very realistic appearance. The stile and rail metal cladding components are mechanically held together by swedging until wooden framing elements are installed and glazing is completed. Foaming of the panel is then carried out and all components are strongly bonded in assembled relationship by the cured foam.

A latching and locking mechanism for sliding doors such as patio screen doors and the like, wherein a latch hook engaging a keeper may be unlatched by operating either an inside or an outside slide member, and the latch hook may be locked by a locking mechanism operable only from the inside of the sliding door. The latching and locking mechanism is lengthwise functionally symmetric so that it may be utilized either in doors opening from left to right or doors opening from right to left. The locking function is performed by a locking bolt which is cammed into position by an angularly disposed cam slot of a bolt actuator.

An improved window construction including a combination metal/wood support frame for a double hung metal window sash, the metal window sash being provided with side channels for reception of counterbalance springs therein. A screw-threaded bow adjuster is provided which is usable for installing the combination wood/metal frame in the house framing for eliminating any bow therebetween to reduce heat losses therethrough. A wood sash liner/fascia is provided for covering the metal window to give same the over-all appearance of a window made entirely of wood. The wood sash liner/fascia preferably being provided with a plurality of muntins thereacross which are joined with tongue and groove type joints. The top horizontal bar of the bottom window being provided with a lock covering recess and the lower horizontal bar thereof having hand-recess cut-outs. Both the upper and lower metal window sash being provided with a vertical recess at each side thereof for receiving insulating and weather stripping attachment/mounting strips between the metal/wood support frame and the metal window for retaining the metal window affixed to the support frame. Apertures are also provided in the wood covering liner/fascia for receiving attachment screws or the like to secure the installed covering over the metal window and thereby prevent removal of the insulating, weather stripping installation strips to prevent removal of the metal window from the combination metal/wood support frame, and also to give the outward appearance of an all-wood window.

A sliding door assembly having a frame including a head jamb, a bottom sill, two vertical side jambs and a third center jamb for strength and rigidity of the overall frame. A fixed glass panel is mounted in a portion of said frame and a sliding glass panel mounted upon roller structure is mounted in another portion of the frame. The sliding glass panel has an extending fin around at least three sides thereof for cooperative association with weather seal structure provided with the non-movable portions of the assembly. The aluminum sill structure has self-draining slots therein and a replaceable plastic member is provided with the sill for ease of sliding of the sliding glass panel, as well as easy replacement thereof, if needed. Draining slots are also provided in the plastic member which are staggered relative to the slots in the aluminum to minimize wind blow through. The door assembly has an aluminum exterior and a wood interior, with the wood portion being removably attached by spring clips. Three-point locking structure is provided for the sliding glass panel, which is designed so that same can be either right-handed or left-handed, as needed at the actual job site. All portions of the assembly are designed for ease of changeability from one hand to the other.

Prior to foaming, a unitary molded plastic liner or dam for the lockset cross bore and edge bore of a foam-filled metal skinned insulated door is installed between the metal skins in registration with accurately located pre-punched skin openings. The edge bore lining extension of the device is inserted into a preformed opening of the wooden stile for positioning the device. The device prevents insulating foam from entering the cross bore or intersecting edge bore in the subsequent foaming operation. Significant reinforcement is also provided between the metal skins of the door to prevent buckling of the skins during the installation of door hardware.
