ABSTRACT:
A door structure includes a frame defining glazing channels in which a glazing panel is mounted, and a plurality of hinge lugs which project outwardly from a major planar surface of the frame, with each of the lugs including an aperture for receiving a vertically arranged pivot pin and each of the lugs having a thickness which is less than a horizontal dimension of the lug which passes through the aperture. The door structure includes an extremely compact hinge which provides an aesthetically desirable appearance in which the structural support for the door is visually minimized. Also, there is a door structure including a frame having confronting glazing channels which define a vertical glazing plane which is oblique to a vertical plane defined by the frame, and a glazing panel secured within the glazing channels with the glazing panel being located in a vertical plane which is oblique to the vertical plane defined by the frame. This structure provides a strikingly unique and aesthetically desirable appearance.
