ABSTRACT:
An adjustable square metal tubular strut, comprised of two square metal components, that when telescoped together and positioned horizontally at the center hinge pins on most width double entrance in-swinging doors, stops the deflection of said doors in wind load situations. The preferred embodiment of the strut is comprised of a plurality of predetermined holes for fastening the strut components together in any width configuration, and metal “U” shape straps attached to both ends of the strut with holes to receive the hinge pins, ultimately fixing the strut in place. Located along the face of the strut are a series of threaded holes of predetermined size and location, that where applicable, will receive two threaded torque screws, with a torque lever arm on the front end and a pressure foot on the inner end, that when tightened will firm the strut to the doors.
