Abstract

The present invention provides an improved method and apparatus for mounting a door frame into a door opening of a building and includes at least one mounting bracket, a door support frame, and a trim frame. The at least one mounting bracket is connectable to the door opening and provides mounting pins for engaging the door support frame. The door support frame provides a bracket connecting portion and a soffit engaging portion that are integrally constructed and connected to a soffit of the door support frame. The trim frame is adjustably connected to the door support frame by engaging the bracket engaging portion and the soffit engaging portion of the door support frame.

• E06B 1/60 - Fastening frames to the border of openings by mechanical means, e.g. anchoring means
• E06B 1/18 - Metal frames composed of several parts with respect to the cross-section of the frame itself

Abstract

An apparatus and method for repairing a damaged door frame, wherein a jamb patch has a first portion adaptable to replace a removed section of the door frame and a second portion coupled to the first portion and adaptable to fit behind a remaining section of the door frame to align the first portion with the remaining section of the door frame. The second portion of the jamb patch may be slidably coupled to the first portion for location into a first position, wherein the first portion of the jamb patch overlaps the second portion, and into a second position, wherein the second portion of the jamb patch extends from the first portion. Alternatively, the second portion of the jamb patch may fixedly extend from the first portion of the jamb patch.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for mounting a door frame into a door opening of a building and includes a pair of substantially similar brackets, a door support frame, and a trim frame. The brackets are connectable to the door opening, the door support frame is connected to the brackets. and the trim frame is connected to the door support frame. The brackets may have a slotted aperture for adjusting the brackets horizontally along a fastener. The brackets may also have an inward taper or ramp for adjustably receiving the door support frame. The brackets are connected to the door support frame through the use of mounting pins, slots, spring clips, integral pins, or a frame insertion tab.
