Abstract

A door and door closure system for an air filter cabinet are described herein. One device includes a magnet recess, a magnet coupled to the magnet recess and configured to engage with a magnet recess of a frame of an air filter cabinet and automatically align the door with the frame of the air filter cabinet when engaged with the magnet recess of the frame, and a handle adjacent the magnet recess of the door.

Claims (34)

1. A door for an air filter cabinet, comprising:

a magnet recess;

a magnet coupled to the magnet recess and configured to:

engage directly with a magnet recess of a frame of an air filter cabinet, wherein the magnet extends into both the magnet recess of the frame and the magnet recess of the door when directly engaged with the magnet recess of the frame; and

automatically align the door with the frame of the air filter cabinet when engaged with the magnet recess of the frame; and

a handle adjacent the magnet recess of the door, wherein:

the handle extends in a direction away from the frame when the magnet is engaged with the magnet recess of the frame, at a ninety degree angle from the top of the top portion of the door; and

the handle includes a portion that extends upward at a ninety degree angle from the rest of the handle.

2. The door of claim 1 , wherein the door is configured to align with the frame of the air filter cabinet using only the magnet recess of the door and the magnet.

3. The door of claim 1 , wherein the door is completely detachable and separable from the frame of the air filter cabinet when the magnet recess of the frame is not engaged with the magnet.

4. The door of claim 1 , wherein the handle forms a part of the geometry of the door.

5. The door of claim 1 , wherein the handle includes an opening formed therein.

6. The door of claim 1 , wherein the door includes a flange configured to engage with an opening in the frame of the air filter cabinet.

7. The door of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is configured to automatically align the door with the frame of the air filter cabinet when directly engaged with the magnet recess of the frame such that an opening of the air filter cabinet is fully covered by the door.

8. The door of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is configured to automatically align the door with the frame of the air filter cabinet when directly engaged with the magnet recess of the frame without guidance from a user of the door.

9. The door of claim 1 , wherein the door has a height of 16 inches.

10. A door closure system for an air filter cabinet, comprising:

a frame coupled to an air filter cabinet adjacent an opening of the air filter cabinet, wherein the frame includes a magnet recess; and

a door, wherein the door includes:

a magnet recess;

a magnet coupled to the magnet recess and configured to engage directly with the magnet recess of the frame, wherein the magnet extends into both the magnet recess of the frame and the magnet recess of the door when directly engaged with the magnet recess of the frame; and

a handle adjacent the magnet recess of the door, wherein:

the handle extends in a direction away from the frame when the magnet is directly engaged with the magnet recess of the frame, at a ninety degree angle from the top of the top portion of the door; and

the handle includes a portion that extends upward at a ninety degree angle from the rest of the handle.

11. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein the door includes no additional components for aligning the door with the frame.

12. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein the door includes no additional components for coupling the door to the frame.

13. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein:

the frame is a metal frame; and

the door is a metal door.

14. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein:

the door includes a flange; and

the frame includes an opening configured to receive the flange during the engagement of the magnet recess of the frame with the magnet of the door.

15. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein the frame includes a number of tabs under which the door is configured to be placed during the engagement of the magnet recess of the frame with the magnet of the door.

16. The door closure system of claim 10 , wherein the door has a height of 20 inches.
