C.R. Laurence Co. Inc. launched its latest glass door innovation for the glass and glazing market. The CRL DRX Modular Door Rail System is a modular system that deconstructs a standard door rail into independent parts, aiming to give glass temperers and glazing contractors greater control over when, where, and how door rails are installed, adjusted, and updated.
About the DRX System
The DRX system features independent side covers and end caps that can be easily installed or replaced without having to remove the door from the pivot. The system also features 10-1/2-inch length rail bodies that can be moved along the glass to accommodate standard or custom door lengths. They can be stocked to eliminate lead times for installing custom glass doors.
With the DRX system, making adjustments to the glass door after it is installed in the pivot is easier. The improved CRL Kwik-Adjust Pivot Alignment System allows +/- 2 degrees of door angle adjustment to precisely align it to the adjacent sidelite or door. Side-to-side 3/16-inch adjustments in either direction can also be made to the door while in the pivot.
The CRL DRX Modular Door Rail System has been tested to 500,000 cycles to ensure lasting durability. A proprietary jaw-lock mechanism built into the rail bodies delivers glass clamping strength able to withstand a pull force test of up to 1,300 pounds.
DRX Side Covers and End Caps are available in 4-inch heights with square or tapered profiles. Finishes include satin anodized, black bronze anodized, gloss black, matte black, brushed and polished stainless steel cladding, and satin and polished brass cladding. The DRX Door Rail System accepts an assortment of hardware such as tubular panic devices, deadbolt handles, and floor locks.
What CRL says
“The DRX Door Rail System will dramatically change the way door rails are ordered, stocked, and installed,” says Mark Suehiro, technical director of architectural hardware, CRL. “Its modular approach will create tremendous value for our customers by streamlining operations and significantly reducing lead times. DRX is a next-generation door rail system that continues CRL’s tradition of innovation.”
