A glass door assembly is provided with at least one door, at least one sidelight, and a transom above the door, with a transom bar disposed beneath the glass transom, with the transom bar being supported from above the transom, such as from a ceiling, and preferably in such a way as to present an unsupported, floating appearance for the bar. The bar is carried by rods at ends of the transom, with the weight of the transom being supported by the transom bar, and with the rods preferably being unobtrusive and hidden from view. The transom bar is provided with a bearing arrangement for facilitating the pivoting of a door pivot therein. A number of adjustment features are provided, for the bearing of the door pivot, and for the transom support rod, both vertically and laterally. The transom bar also ties in with sidelights at its ends, for mutual support between the sidelight, the transom bar and the transom, all of which cooperate to provide rigidifying support for the door.

The present invention provides a combination door and panic handle for use on the interior side of entrance doors. In one mode of operation the panic handle may be moved inwards towards the door face to unlatch the door. In this mode of operation the door may be opened on the exterior side by use of a key. In an alternative mode of operation, the panic handle is "locked-out" and prevented from moving. In this mode of operation the door is unlatched and the panic handle may be used as a fixed door handle. In the movable mode of operation, pressure may be applied along any portion of the panic handle to facilitate unlatching the door. The operating mechanism of the panic handle is concealed presenting a smooth uncluttered appearance.

A deadbolt lock mechanism for a door comprises a lock cylinder secured to a lock housing and having a movable locking tab connected thereto, a lock bolt slidably mounted within a channel in the housing, a disk rotatably mounted within the housing having a transverse pin extending therefrom, and a lever having an opening therein within which a portion of the transverse pin is disposed, the lever being pivotally mounted at one end to the housing and connected at the other end to the lock bolt. Upon rotation of the locking tab, the disk is rotated through actuation of the pin, and the lever is pivoted by the transverse pin engaging the sides of the opening within the lever to slide the lock bolt into an extended locked position or a retracted unlocked position, the lock bolt being deadlocked in position by the detent feature created by the geometrical relationship between the transverse pin and the sides of the opening within the lever.

A doorway system, comprising a novel mechanism for controlling tall glass doors and making their installation and repair much easier, and a header that can be used with standard size or tall glass doors, is disclosed. The mechanism features circular bearings, a specially-designed bottom spindle and an upper, adjustable, pivotable housing. The header houses, among other parts, the adjustable housing and allows pre-cut, modular parts to be assembled at the building site.

A panic device for doors comprises a bar disposed horizontally along and carried by the inside of a door and mounted thereto for limited pivotal movement of the bar between positions toward and away from the door, a latching assembly affixed to the door and disposed within the bar, the latching assembly having a latch sub-assembly in operable engagement with the bar whereby upon movement of the bar between positions toward and away from the door, the latch sub-assembly is actuated to unlatch or latch the door. Additional embodiments include an optional stationary exterior door handle, a lock cylinder and crank sub-assembly for actuating the latch sub-assembly from the exterior of the door, and a dogging device for selectively operating the bar in a panic mode or as a stationary door handle.

A metal frame and glass panel structure comprises a metal shoe having a receiving channel therein, the receiving channel having at least one smooth side surface and an opposite side surface spaced apart from said smooth side surface; a glass panel positioned within the channel against the smooth side surface and spaced apart from the opposite side surface; at least two independent expandable pressure units positioned within the channel between the glass panel and the opposite side surface of the channel; and means within the pressure units for generating a pressure against the opposite side surface of the channel whereby the pressure units are forced against the glass panel to secure the glass panel within the channel. A pair of adjustment screws is provided in the channel, upwardly extending from the bottom thereof, for squaring the glass panel with the shoe. A strip of double-face tape is provided on the one side surface of the channel to prevent the glass panel from slipping relative to the shoe.
