Our innovative glass entrance solution, the
CRL Wedge-Lock® Door Rail System, uses the exclusive CRL Wedge-Lock® Securing System (U.S. Patents 6,434,905 and 6,912,818 B2; Canadian Patent 2,419,706; European Patent EP 1 404 939 B1). The system secures the glass by applying downward pressure from the bottom of the door rail via two glass-retaining aluminum extrusions and a flat stainless steel bar. As the bar is tensioned with socket head cap bolts, angled extrusions engage an angled groove in the rail, pulling the extrusions together and compressing the door retaining gasket to create exceptional holding force (over 900 lbs. in the 9" Corner Rail). This design delivers secure attachment and high load capacity for full-length door rails as well.
NOTE: Actual product height: 4-1/16" (103 mm)
The Wedge-Lock® system also provides the fastest installation time in its class. Experienced installers can prepare a door for installation in under ten minutes. CRL Wedge-Lock® Door Rails ship fully fabricated and ready-to-install with end caps installed. After rail installation, simply attach the door arm or pivot (not included) to the adjustable door alignment slide already assembled in the rail.
The Adjustable Door Alignment System allows ±1/8" (3.2 mm) adjustment toward or away from the jamb without door removal. This feature is standard on both top and bottom rails. To adjust after installation, remove the end cap to access three socket head cap bolts: the center bolt secures the slide; the two outer bolts provide the 1/8" in/out adjustment. The low-profile slide also permits pivot placement other than the American Standard setback (2-3/4" / 69.8 mm), enabling fabrication for vertically out-of-square openings.
Other advantages of Wedge-Lock® Door Rails:
- Accepts 3/8" to 3/4" (10 to 19 mm) glass
- Rigid single-component housing that resists shifting and loss of adjustment over time
- Internal components remain in place during installation — no disassembly required
- Durable glass-securing pads designed for longevity in extreme environments
NOTE: All Wedge-Lock® Door Rails include a built-in jamb alignment block; arms and pivots must be ordered separately.
