ARRANGEMENT FOR SECURING A PANEL CLOSURE

摘要

A closure includes a panel closing against a frame. A set of abutment surfaces for supporting the panel against applied forces is completed by a displaceable compression member which selectively assumes an engaged state disposed between an abutment surface of the panel and an abutment surface of a strike jamb. The geometry of engagement is such that forces acting on the compression member opposing opening of the panel are primarily compressive forces. Certain implementations additionally, or alternatively, employ compression members for locking along the lintel or the threshold of the opening.
