ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly for fastening a stile onto a door panel comprises an edge frame member and a spring retainer. The edge frame member has a door panel channel which receives a door panel and a retainer channel which receives a retainer. The retainer channel has a heel and a shoulder projecting inwardly into the channel from opposite walls. The edge frame member also has a support edge which faces the door panel channel. The retainer has a U-shaped mounting end which snaps into the retainer channel, engaging the heel and the flange. A resilient deflection arm extends out of the channel away from the mounting end, contacts the supporting edge and bends outward into the door panel channel so that when a door panel is pressed into the door panel channel, it is resiliently engaged by the deflection arm which retains it in the door panel channel. A tongue on the mounting end locks into place behind the shoulder in the retainer channel to hold the retainer in the retainer channel.
