ABSTRACT:
A doorway assembly, preferably for a sliding door, includes a barrier plate extending across the lower portion of the doorway to prevent the intrusion of water during severe weather conditions. A notch within the barrier plate, provides a substantially obstruction-free passageway through the doorway and, is sealed by compressing a compressible gasket, attached to a compression panel mounted to move with the sliding door, against the barrier plate. An actuator is structured to move the compression panel toward the barrier plate in response to operation of a latch lever, thereby compressing the compressible gasket and providing a seal between the compression panel and the barrier plate adjacent the notch.
