Abstract:
1. A system for reinforcing a door, said system comprising: a. at least one metal profile removably applied to a lateral edge of said door, said metal profile comprises a track; b. a plurality of stoppers each having a channel, wherein said stoppers are located in the track of said metal profile; c. at least one stiffening rod having threaded areas, wherein said stiffening rod is seated within the channels of said stoppers in a manner that allows at least two of the stoppers to move along a respective said threaded area of said stiffening rod, said configuration allows preventing said stiffening rod from being bowed; and d. a plurality of nuts which are threaded onto said threaded areas of said stiffening rod for securing said stoppers to said stiffening rod at a desired location along said threaded area thereof, wherein said plurality of stoppers comprising at least three stoppers: an upper stopper, a lower stopper and a central stopper, said central stopper enables holding a middle section of said stiffening rod enabling thereby to divide said stiffening rod into at least two parts, and wherein said stiffening rod and said stoppers are all located inside the track of said metal profile, and wherein said stoppers and stiffening rod facilitate in preventing the door from being distorted or in correcting distortions already occurring in said door by enabling changing the location of the stoppers in relation to one another along said stiffening rod for shortening a bowing span of each part of said stiffening rod inside said metal profile, wherein each of said upper, lower and center stopper can be removably affixed at different locations to said profile track for allowing positioning of said stiffening rod at various locations in said profile track by adjusting the location of each respective said stopper in said track.
