Claim 2

A door, comprising: an outer metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of a Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; an inner metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of a Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; and casing members extending along the edges of the door, the casing members having continuous channels on opposite sides thereof engaging the seconD portions of the outer and inner facing panels.

Claim 3

The door according to claim 1 wherein the casing members are plastic extrusions and are sprung into engagement with said door panel edge portions.

Claim 4

The door according to claim 1 wherein a metal plate is carried on a central web provided on each of the casing members for engaging hardware attaching means to secure same to the door.

Claim 5

Claim 6

The door according to claim 1 wherein the space between the inner and outer facing panels is filled with foamed in place urethane foam material.

Claim 7

The door according to claim 1 wherein each casing member has a substantially flat central web extending parallel to the door edge and a pair of diverging webs extending from a center portion of the central web, each diverging web and the corresponding edge portion of the central web forming one of the continuous channels.

Claim 8

The door according to claim 6 further including a trim strip extending along the exposed edges of the door, the trim strip having a main portion spanning the distance between the outer and inner face panels and a projecting portion extending generally perpendicular to the main portion and engaging the casing member between the diverging webs thereof.

Claim 9

The door according to claim 6 wherein the door is attached to a door frame by hinges, the hinges being secured to the door by means of screws passing through one leaf of the hinge and through the casing member.

Claim 10

A door, comprising: an outer planar metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of substantially Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending inwardly at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending laterally outwardly from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; an inner planar metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of substantially Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending inwardly at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending laterally outwardly from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; and casing members extending along the edges of the door, the casing members having continuous means on opposite sides thereof engaging portions of the Z-shaped configurations of the outer and inner facing panels to be secured in place thereby.

Claim 11

A door, comprising: an outer planar metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of substantially Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending inwardly at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending laterally outwardly from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; an inner planar metal facing panel the edge portions of which are of substantially Z-shaped configuration having a first portion extending inwardly at an acute angle to the plane of the panel and a second portion extending laterally outwardly from the edge of the first portion and substantially parallel to the plane of the panel; and casing members extending along the edges of the door, the casing members having continuous means on opposite sides thereof engaging portions of the Z-shaped configurations of the outer and inner facing panels to be secured in place thereby.
