Exclusive CRL Wedge-Lock Dry Glazed Glass Securing System for Rapid
Installations and Steadfast Holding Power
Notching of Glass Not Required Dry Glazing Allows Field Glass Replacement
Doors Can Be Ready for Installation in Less Than 10 Minutes
An innovative new glass entrance system, the CRL Wedge-Lock™ Door Rail System
features the exclusive CRL Wedge-Lock™ Securing System (U.S. Patents 6,434,905
and 6,912,818 B2. Canadian Patent 2,419,706.), a totally new concept for
securing the glass in the door rail. It works by applying pressure from the
bottom of the door rail, using two glass retaining aluminum extrusions via a
flat stainless steel bar. As this bar is pulled down with socket head cap bolts,
pressure is applied to the glass retaining aluminum extrusions. The bottom of
the extrusions are at an angle and fit into an angled groove in the door rail.
As the glass retaining extrusions are being pulled down, the angled wedge in the
door rail also pulls the glass retaining extrusions together. This action, along
with our specially designed door retaining gasket, creates a tremendous amount
of force (more than 900 pounds) in our nine inch (228.6 millimeter) Corner Rail.
That's 100 pounds per inch. Imagine how much force is created in our full length
Door Rails!
Color: Polished Brass
Length of Rail: 35-3/4 in (908 mm)
Height: 4 in (101.6 mm)
Additional Product Information:
The Wedge-Lock Glass Securing System gives you more than a secure attachment to
the glass. It provides the fastest installation time of any door rail system
offered to the industry. Experienced installers can have a door prepared for
installation in less than ten minutes.
CRL Wedge-Lock Door Rails come completely fabricated and ready to install right
out of the carton with the End Caps installed. After the rail is installed, the
only thing required before hanging the door is to attach the door arm or pivot
(not included) to the adjustable door alignment slide already assembled in the
Door Rail. The Adjustable Door Alignment System feature allows you to adjust the
door 1/8 inch (3.2 millimeter) toward or away from the jamb without removing the
door. This is standard on both top and bottom rails.
After the door is installed all you need do to adjust the door is to remove the
End Cap. This will reveal three socket head cap bolts. The center bolt is the
securing bolt used to lock the adjustable slide in position. The two outer bolts
are used to adjust the slide 1/8 inch (3.2 millimeter) in or out. The low
profile of the adjustable slide allows the pivots with slotted grooves to be
moved to a position other than the American Standard Setback of 2-3/4 inches
(69.8 millimeter). This means we can fabricate them for vertically out-of-square
openings.
Other reasons to choose CRL Wedge-Lock Door Rail System: Models are available to
accept 3/8 or 1/2 inch (10 or 12 millimeter) glass; a rigid single component
housing that will not shift and fall out of adjustment over time because it is
not made up of two halves; the internal components do not require removal before
installation; the glass securing pads are designed for longevity in extreme
environments. Note: All Wedge-Lock Door Rails feature the built-in Jamb
Alignment Block, but arms and pivots must be ordered separately to meet job
requirements.
CRL Wedge-Lock Door Rails come in several standard finishes, and can be quoted
in custom finishes and widths upon request.
Important Note:
* Comes standard with Jamb Alignment Block. Arms and Pivots must be ordered
separately to meet job requirements.
