Threshold assembly for an entryway system
A threshold assembly for use with an entryway disposed within an aperture of a structure, which has an exterior and an interior and includes a door panel moveable between open and closed positions, includes a sill and a rail. A rail is rotatably supported above the upper sill surface between an initial position when the door panel is in the open position, and a second position different from the initial position when the door panel is in the closed position. A biasing member is disposed between the upper sill surface of the sill and the rail to bias the rail from the second position toward the initial position.

Modular sill
A sill assembly that can include a sill and one or more threshold inserts. The threshold inserts can cover cavities within the sill. The sill assembly can optionally include a subsill, which can be a separate from or part of the sill. The subsill can include subsill cavities aligned over the sill cavities to form vertically-stacked pressure chambers. These vertically-stacked pressure chambers can include vertically-stacked pressure chambers positioned within the interior of the building, and vertically-stacked pressure chambers positioned within the exterior of the building. The sill assembly is so structured that different door types, such as swing doors, pivot doors, folding doors and/or sliding doors can be accommodated using the same sill and subsill by simply changing the threshold inserts. The sill assembly can have a minimal rise above the floor surface to meet regulatory requirements such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

PANEL FRAME JOINTS, SILLS, AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF FOLDING DOOR SYSTEMS WITH SHOOTBOLT SYSTEM
A fenestration unit configured to support a shootbolt locking system includes a panel including a panel frame with a stile member and a rail member that are attached by a corner joint. The stile and rail members are elongate and extend along a respective linear axis. The stile member is configured to receive and support at least part of the shootbolt locking system. The stile member includes a stile end with a first wall, and the rail member includes a rail end with a second wall. The corner joint includes a first bracket and a second bracket that are attached together. The first bracket is disposed within the stile end. The first wall is disposed between the first and second brackets. The second bracket projects away from the stile member, and the second bracket is received within the rail end and attached to the second wall.
