MODULAR DOOR CHASSIS
The present disclosure provides a commercial door chassis that utilizes screw splines instead of prior art shear blocks to connect the chassis rails to the chassis stiles. Each of the door stiles has a small opening near each end on the exterior face of the stile in which the screw splines may be inserted through the stile to couple with an end portion of the adjoining rail, thereby providing a tension joint. A joining plate may be added to the chassis for increased support fastening between the rail and the stile, and may be inserted into the inner portion of the stile as the screws are fastened. In addition, the exterior face of the stile comprises a groove down the length of the exterior face of the stile in which a plurality of different astragals may be positioned to provide an exterior shape of the door chassis as desired.
