ABSTRACT:
A glass door assembly is provided with at least one door, at least one sidelight, and a transom above the door, with a transom bar disposed beneath the glass transom, with the transom bar being supported from above the transom, such as from a ceiling, and preferably in such a way as to present an unsupported, floating appearance for the bar. The bar is carried by rods at ends of the transom, with the weight of the transom being supported by the transom bar, and with the rods preferably being unobtrusive and hidden from view. The transom bar is provided with a bearing arrangement for facilitating the pivoting of a door pivot therein. A number of adjustment features are provided, for the bearing of the door pivot, and for the transom support rod, both vertically and laterally. The transom bar also ties in with sidelights at its ends, for mutual support between the sidelight, the transom bar and the transom, all of which cooperate to provide rigidifying support for the door.
