ABSTRACT:
A hinge-emulating gap concealing strip for a door includes an elongated strip having an length generally corresponding to the length of the hinge assembly. The strip has a generally J-shaped cross-section. The strip includes a straight portion adapted mount on the side edge panel of the door, adjacent the gap that normally exists between a side edge panel and the frame or Z bar attached thereto. The strip has an arcuate portion extending forwarding and outwardly from the straight portion. The arcuate portion extends over the gap so as to form a generally convex arch which protrudes outwardly beyond the exterior panel of the door and resembles the convex arch of the hinge assembly. The straight portion of the strip is attached to the side edge panel. Thus, the hinge-emulating gap concealing the strip spans the gap with a strip that emulates the appearance of the hinge to as to enhance the symmetry of the installed door. Brush strips can also be mounted on the J-shaped strip.
