ABSTRACT:
An improved astragal and flush bolt assembly to be secured to a relatively stationary member such as a door jamb or to the edge of an inactive door of a pair of double doors or the like. The astragal assembly includes a flat metal body mounted on the edge of the stationary member and a metal stop member secured to the body along one edge thereof. The flat body includes first and second spaced apart legs extending outwardly from the stationary member with the flat body and legs defining a channel to receive and retain a door latch bolt from the active door. The stop member prevents movement of the door in a first direction and when the latch bolt is engaged in the channel, the channel and latch bolt prevent the door from moving in the opposite direction. A pair of flush bolts are slidably mounted in the channel, one adjacent each end thereof, so that when the astragal assembly is utilized with double doors, the flush bolts are moved to engage the header and sill, respectively, to hold the inactive door stationary. The astragal body is secured to the stop member by a thermal barrier or thermal break structure to provide thermal insulation between the inside and the outside of the doors. The stop member also includes a weather strip to form a tight seal against the active door and when metal doors or metal covered doors are used, the weather strip may include a magnetic member to form a tight seal against the active door.
