CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/382,794, filed Apr. 12, 2019 (pending), which is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/955,998, filed Apr. 18, 2018 (Now U.S. Pat. No. 10,411,447), the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention relates generally to doorframes and partially to electronic doorframes for incorporating electronic door hardware and control features. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Electronic doors, such as those doors that incorporate electronic door hardware and other features that must be powered and cabled appropriately for operation, are used in various facilities. Generally, electronic doors and the electronic features therein are powered and connected through the doorframe, which is generally considered an “electronic doorframe”. Such electronic doors and frames are often utilized in facilities where security and controlled access are important, such as schools, prisons, medical facilities, and other facilities wherein it is desirable to control ingress and egress of a room or facility or to remotely lock and unlock certain doors. 
     Generally, for electronic doorframes, power lines and other cabling are brought to the door and frame through appropriate electrical conduit located in the walls and ceilings of the facility. The conduit extends from junction boxes proximate to the doorframe, and the cables are delivered to access points around the frame. In some installations, the doorframes might be hollow and are abutted against stud and drywall construction, thus providing space behind the frame for the cabling during initial installation. Doorframes are often abutted against masonry, where the space behind the frame is filled with the masonry units and mortar. In some other installations, the door frames might be pre-wired and then installed and coupled to appropriate cabling and power lines. For example, pre-wired doorframes might present a plug-in connector to then be connected with external cabling. As such, existing doorframes might incorporate various conduit and other elements that are secured in the frame that may or may not be prewired for usage. Any conduit, and possibly cabling and power lines are installed in the factory and then shipped to a site and installed. 
     Accordingly, existing electronic doorframes and systems provide very little flexibility in being adaptable at the site. Furthermore, because the doorframes are installed and secured against masonry, the wiring would all have to be run and completed before the frame is installed and sealed with the masonry. Once installed, there is very little flexibility in being able to run cabling. Furthermore, it is very difficult to change the configuration of the door electronics once it is installed. For example, it may be desirable to change the electronic hardware or to add additional electronic hardware and features to a door once it is installed, or to incorporate new or updated electronic security hardware devices as they are developed in the marketplace. 
     Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a system for an electronic doorframe which provides significant improvements over existing designs. Specifically, the system of the invention provides the ability to cable and connect electronic features of the door and the doorframe after initial installation for the future life of the door and frame. Furthermore, it provides the ability to retrofit a door, such as by changing hardware or adding hardware very easily even after the doorframe has been secured with masonry. The inventive system is flexible in the location of the components of the system within the doorframe and provides features which enhance the cabling tasks associated with connecting an electronic doorframe to suitable power sources and other cabling. Accordingly, the present invention provides significant cost savings and flexibility in the installation, use, and retrofitting of an electronic door and an electronic doorframe.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION 
       FIG. 1  illustrates a system  10  in accordance with the invention for use in a doorframe for providing electronic features in the doorframe. Specifically, the system  10  is utilized inside the doorframe and with the doorframe and provides a transition point for power lines and other wiring and cables (hereinafter “cabling”). The cabling provides power and other electrical signals to electronic components and electronic hardware that are used for a door, such as electronic hinges, electric power transfer components, electronic locks, electronic strike plates, door position sensors, electric door operators (openers and closers) etc. As illustrated in  FIG. 10 , cabling is often run through electrical conduit  12  and is also coupled through various electrical junction boxes  14  proximate to and around a doorframe  16  and door lintel  164  of a facility to provide power and electrical signals to the doorframe. Generally, the doorframe will include a hollow metal frame structure  16  or frame and will abut against the wall block  18  and will be secured by masonry surrounding a door opening  20 . 
     Returning to  FIG. 1 , the system  10  provides an interface between wiring within a doorframe as shown in  FIG. 10  and the electronic doorframe elements and other electronic elements associated with the door, doorframe or door opening  20 . System  10  includes a body structure  30  that has a top wall  32 , a bottom wall  34 , and a plurality of sidewalls  36 ,  38 . The top wall, bottom wall, and sidewalls define a hollow body structure and an interior space  40 , as illustrated in  FIG. 6  for example. Any cabling or tools used for running and pulling cabling around the doorframe and extend through the interior space  40  and then back out the interior space through various openings and ports in order to provide the desirable electrical connections. In that way, system  10  provides access to various sources of power, external systems, and exterior electronic devices that interface with system  10 , for certain features and functions of a door system as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     In one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the Figures, sidewalls  36 ,  38  are generally planar and thus form a box-like body structure  30 . System  10  of the present invention is configured for fitting into and working with a hollow doorframe as having flat or planar walls, as illustrated in  FIGS. 3-5 . The cross-section of a typical doorframe  16  is illustrated in  FIG. 5  and is generally a hollow frame formed of a suitable material, such as metal and is configured to abut up against a masonry wall  18  as shown in  FIG. 10 . System  10  fits inside of doorframe  16  as illustrated in  FIGS. 4-5 . 
     The system, in one embodiment, incorporates elements for securing the body structure  30  in the frame. As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , system  10  incorporates one or more spring clips or clip structures  42 ,  44 . The spring clips are coupled with an exterior surface of a sidewall of the body structure and extend away from the body structure sidewall. For example, as illustrated in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , spring clip  42  is coupled with the exterior surface of  37  of sidewall  36  by a suitable attachment mechanism, such as by being welded or bolted or otherwise secured to surface  37  of the sidewall. Similarly, as illustrated in  FIG. 2  spring clip  44  might be coupled to an exterior surface  39  of the sidewall  38  and may be secured in a similar fashion as the spring clip  42 . The frame structure  16  includes various flat inner and outer surfaces depending on the shape of the frame structure. Generally, each of the spring clips will include one or more legs  42   a,    42   b,  or  44   a,    44   b,  that flex against one or more of the inner surfaces  17  of frame structure or frame  16  to secure the body structure  30  within the frame. 
     In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in  FIG. 5 , for example, the spring clips  42 ,  44  may be located on sidewalls that are generally orthogonal or at 90° to each other in order to engage the frame  16  in two orthogonal directions to secure the body structure. That is, one spring clip may be engaged with the frame for providing a securing force from side-to-side and another might be oriented to provide a securing force from front-to-back with respect to body structure  30 , depending upon how those directions are defined with respect to the doorframe  16 . As illustrated in  FIG. 5 , spring clip  42  pushes the body structure  30  against the side of the frame whereas spring clip  44  pushes the body structure against the front of the frame. For further positioning system  10  within frame  16 , one or more spacers  50  might be used to also secure the body structure  30  against the frame  16 . The body structure may be formed of a suitable material such as metal or plastic. 
     As illustrated in  FIGS. 3-5 , generally a doorframe will include a doorstop structure  52  that extends into the door space  20  from the frame. That is, the frame forms a rabbet edge to form doorstop  52 . Spacers  50  may extend into doorstop  52  and further secure in position the body structure  30  therein for securing its location and position within the doorframe  16 . Generally, the spring clips  42  are formed of a suitable flexible structure such as metal or plastic. The spacers  50  may be formed of a suitable material that is rigid or flexible as appropriate for ensuring the proper positioning and securement of the body structure  30  in the frame. In one embodiment, the spaces  50  are formed as part of the body structure. In another embodiment, they are separate from the body structure. As may be appreciated, the spring clips and spaces may be sized accordingly depending on the size of the body structure and doorframe. 
     In another embodiment of the invention, the system may be secured in other ways to the frame. For example, system  10  and particularly body structure  30  may be welded to the frame or might be secured by being bolted or screwed into the frame. In other embodiments, adhesives might be used to secure the system into the frame. In still another embodiment, the system  10  or elements thereof might actually be formed as part of the frame rather than being held against it. So, the present invention and its use in a doorframe or as part of a frame is not limited to the embodiments shown in the illustrations. As such, the system  10  might include the frame and one or more body structures as a generally unitary element for installation in a building or structure. 
     The system  10  of the present invention provides a specific ability to incorporate electronic features into a doorframe and door structure and further provides the ability to direct the appropriate cabling into position for being coupled with one or more of the electronic components. Furthermore, the present invention provides a way to retrofit and add electronic features to a doorframe after installation of the doorframe and door have occurred. To that end, the system  10  incorporates various elements for guiding and directing elongated structures, such as lengths of cable as well as tools for fishing the cable (e.g., Fish tape), into the walls and in and around the doorframe. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, a plurality of ports  60   a,    60   b  are formed in the top wall  32  of the body structure. Also, a plurality of ports  62   a,    62   b  are formed in the bottom wall  34  as illustrated in  FIGS. 1 and 6 . Each of the ports opens into the interior space  40  of body structure  30 . More specifically, respective ports in the top wall, such as top wall ports  60   a,    60   b  longitudinally aligned in the body structure with respect to bottom wall ports  62   a,    62   b  thus forming a plurality of port pairs at the top and bottom of body structure  30 . For example, port  60   a  is longitudinally aligned with  62   a  to form a port pair and port  60   b  is longitudinally aligned with port  62   b  for forming another port pair. The embodiment illustrated in the figures shows two port pairs, although a lesser or greater number might be implemented in the invention. 
     The present invention further includes various features for directing any cabling or cabling tools through the interior space and into and through various ports depending upon where the cabling is to be directed. To that end, system  10  incorporates a diverter structure  66  or diverter as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 6 . Diverter  66  is positioned in the interior space  40  and extends in the interior space from one sidewall  36   a  and toward another sidewall  36   b  opposite or opposing sidewall  36   a.  Diverter  66  also spans along the length of body structure  30  between a port pair, such as port pair  60   b,    62   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 6 . The diverter  66  has a diverter surface  68  configured for directing an element that extends through a port of the port pair toward and area in the body structure. That is diverter  66  diverts cabling/tools passing through the ports  60   b,    62   b  in different directions. The diverter  66  is configured for directing cabling/tools that come through either port  60   b  or  62   b  over to an area in space  40  that overlaps with opening  70  that is formed in the body structure  30 . Referring to  FIG. 1 , opening  70  might be formed in one of the sidewalls  38  to provide access to the interior space  40 . For example, referring to  FIGS. 1 and 6 , opening  70  is formed in sidewall  38  to generally align with or extend between the port pair  60   a,    62   a  but is spaced from port pair  60   b,    62   b.  Since opening  70  will provide access to the interior space  40 , it is desirable that cables and/or tools that are being pushed or pulled through the conduit are directed to the opening  70  for easier access by an installer. To that end, the diverter  66  will guide and direct cables/tools entering the interior space  40  through port  60   b  or  62   b  toward opening  70 . Similarly, any cables/tools directed though opening  70  and toward the side of the body structure containing ports  60   b,    62   b,  will be diverted in the direction of those ports. 
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 6 , an exemplary cable  72  is illustrated passing through port  60   b  and being directed toward opening  70  by the diverter  66 . As illustrated, the diverter works in both directions for cables and tools being directed through the various ports to intercept the diverter  66 . In one particular embodiment of the diverter  66  as illustrated, the diverter is in the forma of a wall that extends in the interior space  40 . In another embodiment, the diverter might be a solid structure that forms the shaped surface as illustrated. Diverter  66  has a surface  68  that slopes from one sidewall, such as  36   a  proximate a port, such as port  60   b  along a sloping portion  76  toward the opposing side wall  36   b.  The diverter surface  68  then has a peak  78  and slopes back along another sloping portion  80  to the sidewall  36   a  and proximate to the other port  62   b.  In that way, the diverter works in both directions so that any cable/tool entering port  60   b  or  62   b  is diverted or directed toward opening  70 . In that way, the end of the cable or tool will then be readily accessible to an installer. Any cabling/tool entering through opening  70  can be guided to the ports  60   b,    62   b  by diverter  66 . Cable  72  may be coupled to suitable electronic hardware. Alternatively, the end of the cable  72  might be directed to one of the other ports to continue through system  10  to its termination point. The diverter  66  is formed as a generally smooth, curved element wherein the transition sections  76 ,  80  and the peak  78  all form one smooth curve that extends from the sidewall  36   a  toward sidewall  36   b,  then back to sidewall  36   a  to provide diversion of elements entering or exiting port  60   b,    62   b.    
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, each of the ports  60   a,  b and  62   a,  b as illustrated in  FIG. 2 , and  FIGS. 5-6  will include an opening  82 . A transition portion  84  is formed around and leads to the opening. The transition portion is a slope transition portion, as illustrated, and slopes from the interior space  40  of the body structure to the port opening  82 . Depending on the construction of the top wall  32 , the sloped transition portions may have interior surfaces that are flat and angled, or they may curve more smoothly toward the openings  82 . The slope transition portions  84  are configured for guiding the end of a cable or tool toward and into the opening  82  and thus out of the respective port without getting blocked or otherwise hung up within the interior space of the body structure  30 . In that way, cables may be pushed or pulled through the various ports with greater ease and efficiency without getting hung up. In one illustrative embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 6 , the termination points  90  for the diverter terminate generally proximate to various sloped transition portions  84  at the ports. Such location further ensures a smooth transition between cables being moved through the interior space that engage the diverter  66  and one or more of the sloped transition portions  84 . 
     Referring to the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 6 , the inner surface  91  of the sloped transition portion  84  is generally smooth. In one embodiment, the inner surface may be essentially in the form of a smooth conical surface that tapers or transitions to the opening  82 . That is, the inner surface  91  transitions smoothly to the beginning  92  of the opening  82  so that there are no edges or discontinuities presented to a cable or tool that is moving into respective ports. The openings have an inner diameter D I . On the other side of the opening  82  the port increases in diameter to a conduit diameter D c  to receive the end of conduit  12 , depending upon the size of the conduit. More specifically, the port includes a collar portion  97  that is configured for receiving an end of the electronic conduit. The collar  97  may be formed as part of or an extension of body structure  30 . The difference in diameter or size between D I  of the opening  82  and D c  for the collar portion  97  of the port that receives the conduit end provides a seat  96  that stops the insertion of the conduit end into the port opening and thus seats the conduit in the port. Referring you  FIG. 6A , the inner diameter D I , in one embodiment of the invention, is essentially sized to be close to or similar to the inner diameter of the electrical conduit. In that way, a further smooth transition is provided between the interior space  40  and the interior space  100  of the conduit as illustrated in  FIGS. 6 and 6A . According to the embodiment of the invention, the system  10  and the various elements, such as the ports  60   a - 62   b  can be configured for receiving ½ inch conduit or three-quarter inch or larger conduit. The system of the invention can be utilized with PVC or metal conduit as appropriate. Generally, the collar portion  97  of the body structure  30  for the ports  60   a - 62   b  would it be dimensioned a suitable length L for providing a sufficient securement and proper seating of the conduit end as it transitions into the body structure  30 . 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, a transition wall  120  is positioned between two ports of the plurality of ports that are formed in one of the top wall or the bottom wall. The wall  120  extends into the interior space  40  for separating the ports beyond the sloped transition portions  84 . The transition wall  120  provides further direction to a cable or tool that is inserted in the opening  70  and directed to one of the respective ports. To that end, portion  122  of the wall  120  may be angled or sloped toward the opening  70  to further facilitate directing a cable or tool from the opening and into the direction of the port  60   b  or  62   b.  As illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the transition wall  120  is positioned at the top of the body structure as well as the bottom of the body structure. The angles portion  122  angles away from the diverter and expands the distance between the diverter  66  and the walls  120  so that the cable or tool may be directed into a port  60   b,    62   b.  This further increases the ease in which the ports that are more distant from opening  70  may be accessed. The walls  120  also include a curved or rounded end  124  for providing protection and smooth traveling of a cable or tool, such as between the two bottom wall ports  62   a,    62   b.  For example, it may be desirable to receive a cable or tool into the body structure through port  62   a,  and then direct that cable or tool back out of the system through port  62   b.  As such, the cable or tool would have to be bent over the wall  120  to extend between the port  62   a,    62   b.  The curved end  124  allows for cable or tool to transition between the ports and to wrap around the end  124  without causing damage or breakage in the wiring or the tool. 
     Depending upon the installation and use of the system  10 , as illustrated in the Figures, one or more caps  130  may be implemented with the system in order to cover the ports and the openings defined thereby and to keep mortar and other debris out of the body structure and interior space. Of course, the caps  130  would not be used when cables extend through the ports and into and through the body structure  30 . 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 3-5 and 10 , the system  10  of the invention will generally be installed into a doorframe  16 , which maybe a hollow metal frame structure as is noted. Together, systems  10  and the frame structure from an electronic doorframe. The various spring clips  42 ,  44  will generally be configured and operable to hold the system  10  in place within a doorframe  16 . In accordance with one aspect the invention, one or more of the inventive systems  10  may be incorporated into an electronic doorframe. As may be appreciated, the body structure  30  of the system may be configured appropriately to be utilized with a number of different door frames. Also, the body structure  30  may be sized and configured appropriately to be utilized with a number of different electronic features within the door. 
     For example, referring now to  FIG. 9 , some door installations and electronic features may require a longer body structure as shown in system  10 A of  FIG. 9 . In such a structure, multiple clips such as clips  44  might be implemented along the longer sidewalls of the body structure  30   a.  A single clip  42  is illustrated however, on the outside wall multiple clips  42  might also be implemented. Furthermore, additional spacers  50  might be utilized as well. 
     Turning again to  FIG. 10 , multiple systems might be incorporated into an electronic doorframe  16  as illustrated. The systems  10  may be incorporated into an electronic doorframe  16  on the top of the doorframe or the side of the doorframe as shown, depending upon the electronic feature to be incorporated. For example, one might be positioned at the strike plate of the door for the use of an electronic strike or electronic lock proximate to a side  140  of the frame. Alternatively, at the head of the frame  150  one or more systems  10  might be utilized such as to accommodate a door position switch or door sensor. Still further, to accommodate an electric power transfer positioned proximate to the inside of the door  160  a system  10   a  might be implemented (see  FIG. 9 ) to accommodate such hardware. 
     As it would be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, the present invention is not limited to the number of systems that might be incorporated within a doorframe for accommodating electronic features. As it will be understood, various openings are formed in a frame  16  to align with the openings  70  within each of the systems  10 . Those openings will be covered by the appropriate electronic hardware used in the doorframe. If particular hardware is not utilized, but a system  10  is in place and the frame has a respective opening, a covering plate, such as a blank metal plate might be utilized that fits flush within the surface of the frame for covering the frame opening as well as the opening  70  within the systems  10 . For example, a system  10  might be installed, but not used immediately. The system would be available for a future installation of electronic hardware. In that way, the system  10  of the invention provides expandability within an electronic doorframe and also provides the ability to retrofit the frame for different doors and different electronic feature combinations and scenarios. 
     Accordingly, a frame utilizing systems  10  of the invention may be installed regardless of if power is currently run to the frame. If no electronic features are currently utilized, the cover plates will be used, and the doorframe will perform as any other frame. However, at any time, power can be run in the future to any and all devices to virtually handle the configurations needed. Additionally, utilizing the invention, doors that have some electronics that are installed originally can then later be changed, replaced or updated with new hardware and devices and new appropriate wiring within the doorframe. The systems  10  of the invention provide for cabling to be fished through the various body structures  30  and conduit  12  by virtue of the smooth transitions and pathways that are presented within the systems  10  for the cabling and the tools used to fish the cabling. Referring again to  FIG. 10 , cabling might be run through conduit  12  and through junction box  14  and then down to engage systems  10  at the head  150  of the frame. From there, power might then be delivered to the systems  10  at side  140  and the system  10   a  at side  160  of electronic frame. The frame can then be installed within a suitable wall  162  and under door lintel  164 . 
     In accordance with another embodiment of invention, it may be desirable to segregate certain of the cables within the interior space  40  as they may be directed through different conduit and for different purposes. For example, it may be desirable to segregate low-voltage cabling from higher voltage power cables.  FIG. 8  illustrates another embodiment of the system of the invention. System  10   b  incorporates a body structure  30   b  which is similar in my regards to body structure  30  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . However, it incorporates additional features depending upon the use of the system  10   b.  For example, in addition to opening  70 , body structure  30   b  incorporates additional openings, for example, additional openings  170 ,  172  and  174  might be incorporated into the side wall  36   b.  Such openings  170 ,  172 ,  174  might be provided by the way of knockout body sections that could be pushed out or otherwise removed as needed to provide one or more of the additional openings. For example, referring to  FIG. 10 , one of the systems  10  located within the top of the frame might be system  10   b  which incorporates the additional openings. Such a system, for example might be utilized for providing both a high-voltage pathway and a low-voltage pathway through body structure  30   b.    
     To that end, system  10   b  further includes one or more separation walls  180 . The separation walls are configured to extend from the inside surface of side wall  36   b  and into the interior space  40 . In one embodiment, as illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the separation walls  80  extend from the interior of sidewall  36 B toward the walls  120  to segregate portions of the interior space proximate to one of the ports. For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 8 , one separation wall  180  is configured to have a length suitable such that it touches or ends very close to wall  120  and thus segregates interior space  40  into a smaller space  40   a  approximate to port  60   a.  Similarly, another wall  180  along with wall  120  might form a smaller segregated interior space  40   b  proximate to port  62   a.  Then the remaining interior space  40  would span between ports  60   b  and  62   b.    
     In accordance with the embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 8 , each of the openings  170 ,  172 ,  174  might be positioned in sidewall  36   b  to provide access to the segregated interior spaces  40   a,    40   b  and  40 . In one use, low-voltage cables might be installed or accessed through opening  172  and space  40  that is in communication with ports  60   b  and  62   b.  Then separate high voltage cables might be accessed or installed through the openings  170  and  174  that respectively access interior spaces  40   a,    40   b  and ports  60   a,    62   a.  In that way, high-voltage and low-voltage cables may be segregated. In system  10   b  and directed to other systems and electrical hardware as necessary. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, the separation walls  180  are removable. For example, at the point of connection of  190  of the walls  180  on the inside of sidewall  36   b,  the walls  180  might be weakened so as to be snapped off away from wall  36 B and removed to allow access through openings  170 ,  174  to one of the ports  60   a,    62   a  through the interior space  40 . That is, the walls  180  might be removed to thus provide an arrangement similar to the embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 6 . 
     Alternatively, the walls  180  may be separate pieces that may be removably secured to the inside of surface wall  36   b,  using an appropriate securement mechanism (not shown) when they are desired. For example, the walls might be snapped into place on the inside of wall  36   b.  As such, if it is desirable to segregate or separate certain portions of the interior space  40 , the various knockout sections of sidewall  36   b  might be removed and the walls  180  might be snapped into position or otherwise secured on the interior surface of sidewall  36   b  to form separate interior space portions as illustrated in  FIG. 8 . As shown in  FIG. 8 , the walls  180  might be angled or cured from wall  36   b  toward wall  120 . The surface of the walls  180  might be configured to provide a smooth transition for cables and tools that are directed through interior space and that would come into contact with wall  180  from either side of the wall. For example, cables and tools directed through interior space  40  might be guided by one sidewall  180  and diverter wall  66  to one of the ports  60   b,    62   b.  Alternatively, the other side of wall  180  might direct cables or tools in a smooth transition between the openings  170  and  174  and respective ports  60   a,    62   a.    
     Accordingly, the systems of the invention in combination with frame  16  provide access to cables for providing electronic features within the doorframe. The systems provide not only the necessary access to the cabling for new installation, but also provide the ability to retrofit doors by providing quick to the systems, conduit, and the interior of the doorframe. Cables and tools, such as a fish tape, may be smoothly directed through the body structures of the various systems and may be readily accessed and further directed into other conduit and other systems for interconnecting all the various electronic features and hardware within an electronic doorframe and door. The system of the invention may also be implemented at various positions around a doorframe for accommodating different electronic features and hardware. The retrofit aspects of the invention provide the ability to add hardware after the initial installation of the doorframe or to reconfigure the doorframe after it has been installed. The doorframe does not have to be removed, and masonry around the doorframe does not have to be significantly disturbed for directing cable to where it is needed or retrofitting the doorframe after installation. 
       FIGS. 11-12C  illustrate an alternative embodiment of the system of the invention. System  10   c  shares various of the features of other systems  10 - 10   b  as described and includes an alternative opening  70   a  that is formed in multiple sidewalls of the body structure for accommodating various door electronics depending on the installation. Specifically, the opening  70   a  extends or is formed into both sidewall  38  and sidewall  36   b  and includes an opening portion  150  located in the sidewall  38  and an opening portion  152  located in the sidewall  36   b.  Depending on how the opening  70   a  is used and what electronics are installed, any unused portion of the opening might be covered by remaining portions of the faces of the frame rather than covering plates. The opening portion  150 , for example, might be utilized similar to opening  70  as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , such as for electronics like a power transfer arrangement in the side of the frame or a door position switch in the head of the frame. In that case, the portion  152  is covered by part of the frame  16  as shown in  FIG. 12A . Specifically, an opening  154  in the frame  16  might overlie the opening portion  150  while the frame covers portion  152 . 
     In alternative uses, such as for installations that might require openings in sidewall  36   b,  the opening  70   a  can accommodate such arrangements as well. For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 12B , the opening  156  in the frame might coincide with both portions  150 ,  152  of the opening  70   a  if necessary, for installation of some electronic features, such as an electric strike element. Any remaining parts of the portions of opening  70   a  that are not used will be covered by the respective faces of the frame  16  as shown in  FIG. 12B . 
     Furthermore, as illustrated in  FIG. 12C , the system  10   c  can be used with opening portion  152  providing access into the body structure from the side, similar to the arrangement as illustrated in  FIG. 8 . Referring to  FIG. 12 c   , one or more openings  158  in the frame  16  will coincide with the opening portion  152  and can provide the necessary access to the body structure that might be needed, for example, when using an electric closer element on the face of the frame at the head of the frame. In such an arrangement, there might be openings  158  that are dedicated for  110  Volt cabling and others for low voltage cabling as discussed with respect to  FIG. 8 . In such an arrangement, the separation walls  180  might be used to segregate the interior space  40  as discussed. The other portion  150  of the opening  70   a  might be covered by a portion or face of the frame  16  as shown. Accordingly, the embodiment of system  10   c  might be used and take advantage of faces of the frame to cover selective portions of the opening  70   a  depending on the electronic installation scenario. 
       FIG. 13  illustrates another system  210  in accordance with the invention for use in a doorframe for providing electronic features in the doorframe. The system  210  is also utilized inside the doorframe and with the doorframe and provides a transition point for power lines and other wiring and cables (hereinafter “cabling”). 
     Returning to  FIG. 13 , the system  210  provides an interface between wiring within a doorframe as shown in  FIG. 10  and the electronic doorframe elements and other electronic elements associated with the door, doorframe or door opening  20 . System  210  includes a body structure  230  that has a top area or top wall  32 , a bottom area or bottom wall  34 , and a plurality of sidewalls  236 ,  238 . The top wall, bottom wall, and sidewalls define a hollow body structure and an interior space  240 , as illustrated in  FIG. 13  for example. Any cabling or tools used for running and pulling cabling around the doorframe extend through the interior space  240  and then back out the interior space through various openings and ports in order to provide the desirable electrical connections. In that way, system  210  provides access to various sources of power, external systems, and exterior electronic devices that interface with system  210 , for certain features and functions of a door system as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     System  210  of the present invention is configured for fitting into and working with a hollow doorframe that has flat or planar walls as discussed herein. The cross-section of a typical doorframe  216  is illustrated in  FIG. 13  and is generally a hollow frame formed of a suitable material, such as metal and is configured to abut up against a masonry wall  218  as shown in  FIG. 10 . System  210  fits inside of doorframe  216  as illustrated in  FIGS. 13, 15 . To that end, the body structure includes one or more generally planar or flat sidewalls  238  to interface with a doorframe  216  as shown in  FIG. 13 . 
     The system  210 , in one embodiment, incorporates elements for securing the body structure  230  in the frame. As illustrated in  FIGS. 13-16 , system  210  incorporates one or more paddles  242 ,  244  that rotate about an axis  245 . The axis  245  might be formed by a threaded screw  247  (see  FIG. 15 ) that may be rotated to rotate the paddles  242 ,  244  up against the doorframe to wedge against the doorframe as shown in the  FIGS. 13, 15  and secure system  210 . The paddles rotate to fill the full width of the door frame and then slide up the screw until the paddle pushes agains the back of the frame, thereby securing the body structure to the frame. Other securement methods may be used without deviating from the invention, such as clip structures as discussed herein. The frame structure  216  includes various flat inner and outer surfaces depending on the shape of the frame structure. Generally, each of the paddles will bear against one or more of the inner surfaces  17  of frame structure or frame  16  to secure the body structure  230  within the frame. 
     In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in  FIG. 15 , for example, the paddles  242 ,  244  may be located on sidewalls that are generally opposite a flat sidewall  236   b  in order to engage the frame  216  and push the sidewalls  236  against the frame to secure the body structure. (See  FIG. 15 .) For further positioning system  210  within frame  216 , one or more spacers  250  might be used to also secure the body structure  230  against the frame  216 . The body structure may be formed of a suitable material such as metal or plastic. 
     As illustrated in  FIGS. 13, 15-16 , generally a doorframe will include a doorstop structures  252  that extends into the door space  220  from the frame. That is, the frame forms a rabbet edge to form doorstop  252 . Spacers  250  may extend into doorstop  252  and further support in position the body structure  230  therein for securing its location and position within the doorframe  216 . (See  FIG. 16 .) The spacers  250  may be formed of a suitable material that is rigid or flexible as appropriate for ensuring the proper positioning and securement of the body structure  230  in the frame. In one embodiment, the spacers  250  are formed as part of the body structure. In another embodiment, they might be separate from the body structure. As may be appreciated, the paddles and spacers may be sized accordingly depending on the size of the body structure and doorframe. 
     In another embodiment of the invention, the system may be secured in other ways to the frame as discussed herein. So, the present invention and its use in a doorframe or as part of a frame is not limited to the embodiments shown in the illustrations. As such, the system  210  might also include the frame and one or more body structures as a generally unitary element for installation in a building or structure. 
     The system  210  of the present invention provides a specific ability to incorporate electronic features into a doorframe and door structure and further provides the ability to direct the appropriate cabling into position for being coupled with one or more of the electronic components. Furthermore, the present invention provides a way to retrofit and add electronic features to a doorframe after installation of the doorframe and door have occurred. To that end, the system  210  incorporates various elements for guiding and directing elongated structures, such as lengths of cable as well as tools for fishing the cable (e.g., Fish tape), into the walls and in and around the doorframe. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, a plurality of ports  260   a,    260   b  are formed in the top or a top wall  232  of the body structure. Also, a plurality of ports  262   a,    262   b  are formed in the bottom or a bottom wall  234  as illustrated in  FIGS. 13-15 . Each of the ports opens into the interior space  240  of body structure  230 . More specifically, respective ports in the top wall, such as top wall ports  260   a,    260   b  longitudinally aligned in the body structure with respect to bottom wall ports  262   a,    262   b  thus forming a plurality of port pairs at the top and bottom of body structure  230 . For example, port  260   a  is longitudinally aligned with  262   a  to form a port pair and port  260   b  is longitudinally aligned with port  262   b  for forming another port pair. The embodiment illustrated in the figures shows two port pairs, although a lesser or greater number might be implemented in the invention. Also, the ports are shown staggered in height on body structure  230  so that at least one of the ports is above another of the ports in the body structure. More specifically, port  260   a  in the top wall  232 , is higher than port  260   b.  Similarly, along the bottom wall  234 , the port  262   a  is lower than port  262   b.  Such staggering provides for proper positioning of conduit in certain positions along the door frame. For example, referring to  FIG. 10 , when systems, such as system  10  and/or  10   b  are installed at the head of the frame, radiused conduit from the side of the frame will transition into the system. With a setback port, such as port  260   b,  standard radiused conduit may be installed into that setback port of a system in the head of the frame and the conduit will roll down into the side of the frame, and still remain within the depth of the frame. In that way, the invention prevents the creation of a conflict with the conduit and the masonry that is installed against the frame. 
     The present invention further includes various features for directing any cabling or cabling tools through the interior space  240  and into and through various ports depending upon where the cabling is to be directed. To that end, system  210  incorporates a diverter or diverter surface  266  in the form of a curved diverter wall or sidewall as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 14 . Diverter surface  266  is positioned to extend into the interior space  240  and extends in the interior space inwardly from one sidewall  236   a  and toward another sidewall  236   b  that is opposite or opposing sidewall  236   a.  Diverter  266  also spans along the length of body structure  230  between a port pair, such as port pair  260   b,    262   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 14 . More specifically, a portion of the sidewall  236   a  is curved inwardly in the body structure and forms the diverter surface  266  which includes an inside surface of the curved sidewall portion. The surface extends in the interior space and slopes from one side of the body proximate a port of a port pair and extends toward an opposing side of the body and then slopes back to the one side proximate to the other port of the port pair. (See  FIG. 14 .) The diverter surface  266  forms part of the sidewall  236   a  and is configured for directing an element that extends through a port of the port pair toward an area in the body structure. That is, diverter surface  266  diverts cabling/tools passing through the ports  260   b,    262   b  in different directions. The diverter surface  266  is configured for directing cabling/tools that come through either port  260   b  or  262   b  over to an area in space  240  that overlaps with an opening  270  that is formed in the body structure  230  as shown in  FIG. 14 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 13-15 , opening  270  might be formed in one of the sidewalls  238  and/or one of sidewalls  236  to provide access to the interior space  240 . 
     For example, referring to  FIGS. 13-15 , opening  270  is formed in sidewalls  238 ,  236   b  to generally align with or extend between the port pair  260   a,    262   a  but is spaced from port pair  260   b,    262   b.  Since opening  270  will provide access to the interior space  240 , it is desirable that cables and/or tools that are being pushed or pulled through the conduit are directed to the opening  270  for easier access by an installer. In one disclosed embodiment, the opening  270  is formed such that a portion of the opening is positioned in a sidewall  236   b  that is opposite to the sidewall  236   a  that forms the diverter surface  266 . To that end, the diverter surface  266  will guide and direct cables/tools entering the interior space  420  through port  260   b  or  262   b  toward the opening  270 . Similarly, any cables/tools directed though opening  270  and toward the side of the body structure containing ports  260   b,    262   b,  will be diverted in the direction of those ports. The opening  270  is formed in the sidewalls and in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the sidewalls have removable portions for expanding the opening. In particular, referring to  13  and  15 , the sidewall  238  might include one or more removable portions  239  that may be removed to accommodate openings in the door frame  243 , such as when the opening  243  is of a similar or same size to the opening  270  in the system  210 . The frame openings  243  are for the mounting of electrical hardware and may include mounting brackets  249  that are fixed in the inside of the frame, such as by welding. The length of the frame opening  243  may vary in different installations and might be as large as the opening  270 . For example, the opening shown in  FIG. 13  may be suitable for devices such as a door position switch or electric strike. But if an electric power transfer device is used, a larger opening might be necessary as the mounting brackets  249  might be in conflict with the opening and sidewall. To that end, the portions  239  may need to be removed so that the brackets  249  can remain in place and proper clearance is provided. To that end, the removable portions  239  might include a weakened area in the sidewall, such as serrations or teeth  251 , that will break for removal of the portions  239 . Such portions are shown as triangular portions but can take any appropriate shape. 
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 14 , an exemplary cable  72  is illustrated passing through port  260   b  and being directed toward opening  270  by the diverter surface  266 . As illustrated, the diverter works in both directions for cables and tools being directed through the various ports to intercept the diverter surface  266  or being diverted into the opening  270  and into a port. In one particular embodiment of the diverter surface  266  as illustrated, the diverter surface is in the form of a curved wall that extends in the interior space  240 . Diverter surface  266  defines a surface that slopes from the sidewall  236   a  at one port such as port  260   b  along a sloping portion and toward the opposing sidewall  236   b.  (See  FIG. 14 .) The diverter surface  266  then has a peak and slopes back to the sidewall  236   a  and proximate to the other port  262   b.  In that way, the diverter surface works in both directions so that any cable/tool entering either port  260   b  or  262   b  is diverted or directed toward opening  270 . In that way, the end of the cable or tool will then be readily accessible to an installer. Any cabling/tool entering through opening  270  can be guided to the ports  260   b,    262   b  by diverter  266 . Cable  272  may be coupled to suitable electronic hardware. Alternatively, the end of the cable  272  might be directed to one of the other ports to continue through system  210  to its termination point. The diverter surface  266  is formed as a generally smooth, curved portion of the sidewall to form one smooth curve that extends from the sidewall  236   a  toward sidewall  236   b,  then back to sidewall  236   a  to provide diversion of elements entering or exiting port  260   b,    262   b.    
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, each of the ports  260   a,    260   b  and  262   a,    262   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 14  will include an opening  282 . Transition portions  284  are formed by the top and bottom walls  232 ,  234  around the openings. The transition portions  284  are sloped transition portions, as illustrated, and slope from the interior space  240  of the body structure to the various port openings  282 . Depending on the construction of the top wall  232  and bottom wall  234 , the sloped transition portions  284  may have interior surfaces that curve smoothly toward the openings  282 . (See  FIG. 14 .) The sloped transition portions  284  are configured for guiding the end of a cable or tool toward and into the opening  282  and thus out of the respective port without getting blocked or otherwise hung up within the interior space of the body structure  230 . In that way, cables may be pushed or pulled through the various ports with greater ease and efficiency without getting hung up. In one illustrative embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 14 , the diverter surface  266  terminates generally proximate to the various sloped transition portions  284  at the ports  260   b,    262   b.  This further ensures a smooth transition between cables being moved through the interior space that engage the diverter surface  266  and one or more of the sloped transition portions  284 . 
     Referring to the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 14 , the inner surfaces  291  of the sloped transition portions  284  are generally smooth. In one embodiment, the inner surfaces may be essentially in the form of smooth conical surfaces that taper or transition to the openings  282 . That is, the inner surfaces  291  transition smoothly to the beginning  292  of the respective openings  282  so that there are no edges or discontinuities presented to a cable or tool that is moving into respective ports. As discussed with respect to other embodiments, the openings have an inner diameter D I  and on the other side of the opening  282  the port increases in diameter to a conduit diameter D c  to receive the end of conduit  212 , depending upon the size of the conduit. More specifically, the port includes a collar portion  297  that is configured for receiving an end of the electronic conduit. The collar  297  may be formed as part of or an extension of body structure  230 . The difference in diameter or size between D I  of the opening  282  and D c  for the collar portion  297  of the port that receives the conduit end provides a seat  96  that stops the insertion of the conduit end into the port opening and thus seats the conduit in the port. Referring you  FIG. 14 , the inner diameter D I , in one embodiment of the invention, is essentially sized to be close to or similar to the inner diameter of the electrical conduit. According to the embodiment of the invention, the system  210  and the various elements, such as the ports  260   a - 262   b  can be configured for receiving ½ inch conduit or three-quarter inch or larger conduit. The system of the invention can be utilized with PVC or metal conduit as appropriate. Generally, the collar portion  297  of the body structure would it be dimensioned a suitable length L for providing a sufficient securement and proper seating of the conduit end as it transitions into the body structure  230 . 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, a transition wall  271  is positioned between two ports of the plurality of ports that are formed in one of the top/top wall or the bottom/bottom wall. The wall  271  extends into the interior space  240  for separating the ports beyond the sloped transition portions  284 . (See  FIG. 14 .) The transition wall  271  provides further direction to a cable or tool that is inserted in the opening  270  and directed to one of the respective ports. To that end, the wall  271  may be angled or sloped toward the opening  270  as shown in  FIG. 14  to further facilitate directing a cable or tool from the ports into the opening. As illustrated in  FIG. 14 , the transition wall  271  is positioned at the top of the body structure as well as the bottom of the body structure. The angled wall angles away from the diverter surface and expands the distance between the diverter surface  266  and the walls  271  so that the cable or tool may be directed into a port  260   b,    262   b.  This further increases the ease in which the ports that are more distant from opening  270  may be accessed. The walls  271  also include a curved or rounded end  273  for providing protection and smooth traveling of a cable or tool, such as between the two bottom wall ports  262   a,    262   b.  For example, it may be desirable to receive a cable or tool into the body structure through port  262   a,  and then direct that cable or tool back out of the system through port  262   b.  As such, the cable or tool would have to be bent over the wall  271  to extend between the port  262   a,    262   b.  The curved end  273  allows for cable or tool to transition between the ports and to wrap around the end  324  without causing damage or breakage in the wiring or the tool. 
     Depending upon the installation and use of the system  210 , as illustrated in the Figures, one or more caps may be implemented with the system in order to cover the ports and the openings defined thereby and to keep mortar and other debris out of the body structure and interior space. (See  FIG. 1 .) 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 3-5 and 10 , the system  210  of the invention will generally be installed into a doorframe  16 , which maybe a hollow metal frame structure as is noted similar to the installation of system  10  and various other systems as described herein to provide the advantages of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of  FIGS. 13-16  might incorporate various of the features in the embodiment of  FIGS. 7-13  as appropriate. 
       FIGS. 17A-19E  illustrate further embodiments of the invention utilized inside the doorframe and with the doorframe to provide a transition point for power lines and other wiring and cables (hereinafter “cabling”), such as for providing electronic features in the doorframe. As understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, the features as set forth for all the embodiments in the application may be implemented in structures having one or more port pairs for the passage and maintenance of cabling.  FIGS. 17A-18C  illustrate embodiments with a single port pair, for example. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 17A-17C , the system  300  provides an interface between wiring within a doorframe as shown in  FIG. 10  and the electronic doorframe elements and other electronic elements associated with the door, doorframe or door opening  20 . System  300  includes a body structure  310  that has a top area  312 , a bottom area  314 , and a plurality of sidewalls  316 ,  318 . The top wall, bottom wall, and sidewalls define a hollow body structure and an interior space  320 , as illustrated in  FIG. 17B , for example. Any cabling or tools used for running and pulling cabling around the doorframe extend through the interior space  320  and then back out the interior space through various openings and ports in order to provide the desirable electrical connections. In that way, system  300  provides access to various sources of power, external systems, and exterior electronic devices that interface with system  300 , for certain features and functions of a door system as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     System  300  of the present invention is configured for fitting into and working with a hollow doorframe that has flat or planar walls as discussed herein. The cross-section of a typical doorframe  322  is illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16  and is generally a hollow frame formed of a suitable material, such as metal and is configured to abut up against a masonry wall  218  as shown in  FIG. 10 . System  300  fits inside of a doorframe as illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16 . To that end, the body structure includes one or more generally planar or flat sidewalls  316 ,  318  to interface with a doorframe as shown for example in  FIGS. 15-16 . As illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16  portion  317  of the sidewall  316   a  may extend beyond the sidewall  318  for abutting with part of a doorframe similar to the embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 15 and 16 . 
     The system  300 , in one embodiment, incorporates elements for securing the body structure  310  in the frame, such as one or more paddles  324 , 326  that rotate about an axis , such as a threaded screw  347 , as discussed herein. (See  FIG. 20 .) The screw may be rotated to rotate the paddles  324 ,  326  up against the doorframe to wedge against the doorframe as shown in  FIGS. 15-16 , for example. The paddles rotate to fill the full width of the door frame and then slide up the screw  347  until the paddle pushes against the back of the frame, thereby wedging the body and securing the body structure to the frame. In the embodiments of  FIGS. 17A-19E , the paddles may be made of various discrete sections for being adjusted to address both the width of the body structure and the dimensions of the frame. For example, systems like in  FIGS. 17A-18C  using only a single port pair, the paddle may need to be longer to engage the frame than in would for embodiments with multiple port pairs, as in other Figures shown, such as  FIGS. 1, 8, 9, 13, and 19A , for example. 
     Referring to  FIG. 20 , the paddles  324 ,  326 , may incorporate a plurality of discrete sections  330  that are coupled together along score lines  332  for forming the longer paddle. To provide an adjustment for a particular installation and frame, one or more of the discrete sections  330  might be broken away or otherwise separated from the paddle, such as along the score lines  332 , for providing a proper fit and installation. The discrete sections  330  have open spaces therebetween as shown in  FIG. 20 . This allows the paddles and the system to be used with various different frames in a door construction. For example, the present invention may be used with hollow metal frame designs that include masonry frames as well as drywall frames. Various drywall frames have extra hems where the frame wraps the wall. The endmost tooth section  330  can fit into the space created by such a hem while still providing the space in between the sections  330  to receive the sheets of drywall in the frame. Accordingly, the present invention provides great versatility with many available frames and installations. As noted herein, the frame structure  16  includes various flat inner and outer surfaces depending on the shape of the frame structure. Generally, each of the paddles will bear against one or more of the inner surfaces the frame or frame structure to secure the body structure within the frame. The paddles  324 ,  326 , may be located on sidewalls that are generally opposite a flat sidewall  316   b  in order to engage the frame and push the sidewalls  316  against the frame to secure the body structure. Similar to the paddles  242 ,  244 , the paddles  324 ,  326  both push the body to one side of the frame and wedge the body against a front or back wall of the frame. 
     Depending on the width of the body, one or more spacers  511  might be used, such as shown in  FIGS. 19A-19E , but for embodiments using a single pair of ports, they may not be required, such as is shown in  FIGS. 17A and 18A . As noted, the spacers  511  may be formed of a suitable material that is rigid or flexible as appropriate for ensuring the proper positioning and wedging and securement of the body structure in the frame. In one embodiment, the spacers  511  are formed as part of the body structure. In another embodiment, they might be separate from the body structure. As may be appreciated, the paddles and spacers may be sized accordingly depending on the size of the body structure and the size and dimensions of the doorframe. As noted herein, the systems as illustrated in  FIGS. 17A-19E  may be secured in other ways to the frame as discussed herein. Depending on the length of the paddle, an additional screw  347  might also be used along the length of the paddle as shown in  FIG. 20  to further move and wedge the paddle and body. 
     The systems as shown in  FIGS. 17A-19E  also provide the ability to incorporate electronic features into a doorframe and door structure and further provide the ability to direct the appropriate cabling into position for being coupled with one or more of the electronic components. Furthermore, the present invention provides a way to retrofit and add electronic features to a doorframe after installation of the doorframe and door have occurred. To that end, the systems incorporate various elements for guiding and directing elongated structures, such as lengths of cable as well as tools for fishing the cable (e.g., Fish tape), into the walls and in and around the doorframe. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, a pair of ports  340   a,    340   b  are formed, respectively, in the top or a top wall  342  and in the bottom or a bottom wall  344  of the body structure, as illustrated in  FIGS. 17A-17C . As such, the system  300  includes a single pair of opposing ports. Each of the ports opens into the interior space  320  of body structure  310  and may be positioned generally opposite each other. The port  340   a  in the top wall, may be longitudinally aligned in the body structure with respect to the opposing bottom wall port  340   b  thus forming a port pair at the top and bottom of the body structure. 
     As described herein, the system  300  further includes various features for directing any cabling or cabling tools through the interior space  320  and into and through various ports depending upon where the cabling is to be directed. To that end, a diverter or diverter surface  350  extends into the interior space between the ports in the top and bottom of the body structure. In one embodiment, the diverter surface  350  is in the form of a curved diverter wall or sidewall as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 17C . Diverter surface  350  is positioned to extend into the interior space  320  and extends in the interior space inwardly from one sidewall  316   a  and toward another sidewall  316   b  that is opposite or opposing sidewall  316   a.  Specifically, the diverter surface includes a portion sloping into the interior space from a side of the body proximate a top port and a portion sloping into the interior space from proximate a bottom port. The diverter surface also spans along the length of body structure  310  between a port pair, such as port pair  340   a,    340   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 17B . More specifically, in one embodiment a portion of the sidewall  316   a  is curved inwardly in the body structure and forms the diverter surface  350  which includes an inside surface of the curved sidewall portion. The surface extends in the interior space and slopes from one side of the body proximate a port of a port pair and extends toward an opposing side of the body and then slopes back to the one side proximate to the other port of the port pair. (See  FIG. 17C .) The diverter surface  350  forms part of the sidewall  316   a  and is configured for directing an element that extends through a port of the port pair toward an area in the body structure. That is, diverter surface  350  diverts cabling/tools passing through the ports  340   a,    340   b  in different directions. The diverter surface  350  is configured for directing cabling/tools that come through either port  340   a,    340   b  over to an area in space  320  that overlaps with an opening  360  that is formed in the body structure  310  as shown in  FIG. 17B . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 17A-17C , opening  360  might be formed in one of the sidewalls  318  and/or one of sidewalls  316  to provide access to the interior space  320 . 
     For example, referring to  FIGS. 17A-17C , opening  360  is formed in sidewalls  318 ,  316   b  to generally align with or extend between the port pair  340   a,    340   b.  Since opening  360  will provide access to the interior space  320 , it is desirable that cables and/or tools that are being pushed or pulled through the conduit are directed to the opening  360  for easier access by an installer. In one disclosed embodiment, the opening  360  is formed such that a portion of the opening is positioned in a sidewall  316   b  that is opposite to the sidewall  316   a  that forms the diverter surface  350 . To that end, the diverter surface  350  will guide and direct cables/tools entering the interior space  320  through port  340   a  or  340   b  toward the opening  270 . Similarly, any cables/tools directed though opening  270  and toward the side of the body structure containing ports  340   a,    340   b,  will be diverted in the direction of those ports. The opening  360  is formed in the sidewalls may have sidewalls with removable portions for expanding the opening as discussed herein, such as with respect to  FIGS. 13  and  15 . In that way the system may be used for various devices, such as a door position switch or electric strike, or electric power transfer device. As illustrated, the diverter works in both directions for cables and tools being directed through the various ports to intercept the diverter surface  350  or being diverted into the opening  360  and into a port similar to the device as shown and discussed herein with respect to  FIG. 14 . 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention and similar to ports in other illustrated embodiments, each of the ports  340   a,    340   b  will include an opening  370  and transition portions  372  formed by the top and bottom walls  342 ,  344  around the openings. The transition portions  372  are sloped transition portions, as illustrated, and slope from the interior space  350  of the body structure to the various port openings  340 . Depending on the construction of the top wall  342  and bottom wall  344  and the length of the body  310 , portions  373  of the top and bottom walls may slope to the transition portions, as seen in  FIG. 17C . The sloped transition portions  372  may have interior surfaces that curve smoothly toward the openings  282 . (See  FIG. 17C .) The sloped transition portions  372  are configured for guiding the end of a cable or tool toward and into the port openings and thus out of the respective port without getting blocked or otherwise hung up within the interior space of the body structure. In that way, cables may be pushed or pulled through the various ports with greater ease and efficiency without getting hung up. In one illustrative embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 17C , the diverter surface  350  terminates generally proximate to the top wall  342  and bottom wall  344  and the various sloped transition portions  372  at the ports. This further ensures a smooth transition between cables being moved through the interior space that engage the diverter surface and one or more of the sloped transition portions similar to the transition portions in  FIG. 14  as described. 
     As discussed with respect to other embodiments, the openings  370  have an inner diameter D I  and on the other side of the opening the port increases in diameter to a conduit diameter D c  to receive the end of conduit  212 , depending upon the size of the conduit as shown in  FIG. 14 . More specifically, each port  340   a,    340   b  includes a collar portion that is configured for receiving an end of the electronic conduit as discussed herein with respect to  FIG. 14 . 
     Depending upon the installation and use of the system  300 , as illustrated in the Figures, one or more caps  130  may be implemented with the system in order to cover the ports and the openings defined thereby and to keep mortar and other debris out of the body structure and interior space. (See  FIG. 1 .) 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 3-5 and 10 , the system  300  of the invention will generally be installed into a doorframe  16 , which maybe a hollow metal frame structure as is noted similar to the installation of system  10  and various other systems as described herein to provide the advantages of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of  FIGS. 17A-17C  might incorporate various of the features in the other disclosed embodiments herein. 
       FIGS. 18A-18C  illustrate another embodiment of the invention incorporating a pair of ports. The system  400  has many features similar to the system  300  as described herein and as such similar reference numerals in the  400  range are used to note similar features. However, the system  400  might be sized with a different length, such as a shorter length. To that end, the top wall  442  and bottom wall  444  may slope more gradually to the transition portions  472  of the ports. More specifically, the portions  473  of the top and bottom walls  442 ,  444  may slope at less of an angle to the respective transition portions, than the portions  373  as seen in  FIG. 18C . 
     The system  400  provides an interface between wiring within a doorframe as shown in  FIG. 10  and the electronic doorframe elements and other electronic elements associated with the door, doorframe or door opening  20 . System  400  includes a body structure  410  that has a top area  412 , a bottom area  414 , and a plurality of sidewalls  416 ,  418 . The top wall, bottom wall, and sidewalls define a hollow body structure and an interior space  420 , as illustrated in  FIG. 18B , for example. Any cabling or tools used for running and pulling cabling around the doorframe extend through the interior space  420  and then back out the interior space through various openings and ports in order to provide the desirable electrical connections. In that way, system  400  provides access to various sources of power, external systems, and exterior electronic devices that interface with system  400 , for certain features and functions of a door system as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     System  400  of the present invention is configured for fitting into and working with a hollow doorframe that has flat or planar walls as discussed herein. The cross-section of a typical doorframe  422  is illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16  and is generally a hollow frame formed of a suitable material, such as metal and is configured to abut up against a masonry wall  218  as shown in  FIG. 10 . System  400  fits inside of a doorframe  422  as illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16 . To that end, the body structure includes one or more generally planar or flat sidewalls  416 ,  418  to interface with a doorframe as shown for example in  FIGS. 15-16 . As illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16 , a portion  417  of the sidewall  416   a  may extend beyond the sidewall  418  for abutting with part of a doorframe similar to the embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 15 and 16 . 
     The system  400 , in one embodiment, incorporates elements for securing the body structure  410  in the frame, such as one or more paddles  424 , 426  that rotate about an axis , such as a threaded screw, as discussed herein. (See  FIG. 20 .) The screw may be rotated to rotate the paddles  424 ,  426  as noted with respect to the embodiments described herein. 
     Depending on the width of the body, one or more spacers might be used, such as shown in  FIGS. 19A-19E , but for embodiments using a single pair of ports, they may not be required, such as is shown in  FIGS. 17A and 18A . 
     The systems as shown in  FIGS. 17A-19E  also provide the ability to incorporate electronic features into a doorframe and door structure, to provide the ability to direct the appropriate cabling into position for being coupled with one or more of the electronic components, and to provide a way to retrofit and add electronic features to a doorframe after installation of the doorframe and door have occurred. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, a pair of ports  440   a,    440   b  are formed, respectively, in the top or a top wall  442  and in the bottom or a bottom wall  444  of the body structure, as illustrated in  FIGS. 18A-18C . As such, the system  400  includes a single pair of opposing ports similar to system  300 . Each of the ports opens into the interior space  420  of body structure  410  and may be positioned generally opposite each other. The port  440   a  in the top wall, may be longitudinally aligned in the body structure with respect to the opposing bottom wall port  440   b  thus forming a port pair at the top and bottom of the body structure. 
     As described herein, the system  400  further includes various features for directing any cabling or cabling tools through the interior space  420  and into and through various ports depending upon where the cabling is to be directed. To that end, a diverter or diverter surface  450  extends into the interior space between the ports in the top and bottom of the body structure. In one embodiment, the diverter surface  450  is in the form of a curved diverter wall or sidewall as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 18C . Diverter surface  450  is positioned to extend into the interior space  420  and extends in the interior space inwardly from one sidewall  416   a  and toward another sidewall  416   b  that is opposite or opposing sidewall  416   a  similar to surface  350  in  FIG. 17C  and has the same features effectively. Specifically, the diverter surface includes a portion sloping into the interior space from a side of the body proximate a top port and a portion sloping into the interior space from proximate a bottom port. The diverter surface also spans along the length of body structure  410  between a port pair, such as port pair  440   a,    440   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 18B . More specifically, in one embodiment a portion of the sidewall  416  is curved inwardly in the body structure and forms the diverter surface  450  which includes an inside surface of the curved sidewall portion. The surface extends in the interior space and slopes from one side of the body proximate a port of a port pair and extends toward an opposing side of the body and then slopes back to the one side proximate to the other port of the port pair. (See  FIG. 18C .) The diverter surface  450  forms part of the sidewall  416   a  and is configured for directing an element that extends through a port of the port pair toward an area in the body structure. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 18A-18C , opening  460  might be formed in one of the sidewalls  418  and/or one of sidewalls  416  to provide access to the interior space  420  similar to system  300  in  FIG. 17A . The opening  460  may also have sidewalls with removable portions for expanding the opening as discussed herein, such as with respect to  FIGS. 13 and 15 . 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention and similar to ports in other illustrated embodiments, each of the ports  440   a,    440   b  will include an opening  470  and transition portions  472  formed by the top and bottom walls  442 ,  444  around the openings. The transition portions  472  are sloped transition portions, as illustrated, and slope from the interior space  450  of the body structure to the various port openings  440 . Depending on the construction of the top wall  442  and bottom wall  444 , the sloped transition portions may have interior surfaces that curve smoothly toward the openings  470 . (See  FIG. 17C .) The sloped transition portions  472  are configured for guiding the end of a cable or tool toward and into the port openings and thus out of the respective port without getting blocked or otherwise hung up within the interior space of the body structure similar to system  300 . In one illustrative embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 18C , the diverter surface  450  terminates generally proximate to the top wall  442  and bottom wall  444  and the various sloped transition portions  472  at the ports. This further ensures a smooth transition between cables being moved through the interior space that engage the diverter surface and one or more of the sloped transition portions similar to the transition portions in  FIG. 14  as described. 
     As discussed with respect to other embodiments, the openings  470  have an inner diameter D I  and on the other side of the opening the port increases in diameter to a conduit diameter D c  to receive the end of conduit  212 , depending upon the size of the conduit as shown in  FIG. 14 . More specifically, each port  440   a,    440   b  includes a collar portion that is configured for receiving an end of the electronic conduit as discussed herein with respect to  FIG. 14 . 
     Depending upon the installation and use of the system  400 , as illustrated in the Figures, one or more caps  130  may be implemented with the system in order to cover the ports and the openings defined thereby and to keep mortar and other debris out of the body structure and interior space. (See  FIG. 1 .) 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 3-5 and 10 , the system  400  of the invention will generally be installed into a doorframe  16 , which maybe a hollow metal frame structure as is noted similar to the installation of system  10  and various other systems as described herein to provide the advantages of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of  FIGS. 18A-18C  might incorporate various of the features in the other disclosed embodiments herein. 
       FIGS. 19A-19E  illustrate further embodiments of the invention having multiple port pairs similar to the embodiment of  FIGS. 13-16 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 19A , the system  500  provides an interface between wiring within a doorframe as shown in  FIG. 10  and the electronic doorframe elements and other electronic elements associated with the door, doorframe or door opening  20 . System  500  includes a body structure  510  that has a top area or top wall  512 , a bottom area or bottom wall  514 , and a plurality of sidewalls  516 ,  518 . The top wall, bottom wall, and sidewalls define a hollow body structure and an interior space  520 . Any cabling or tools used for running and pulling cabling around the doorframe extend through the interior space  520  and then back out the interior space through various openings and ports in order to provide the desirable electrical connections to provide access to various sources of power, external systems, and exterior electronic devices that interface with system  500 , for certain features and functions of a door system as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     System  500  of the present invention is configured for fitting into and working with a hollow doorframe that has flat or planar walls as discussed herein. The cross-section of a typical doorframe  16  is illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16 . System  500  fits inside of a doorframe  16  as illustrated in  FIGS. 15, 16 . To that end, the body structure includes one or more generally planar or flat sidewalls  516 ,  518  to interface with a doorframe  16 . As illustrated in  FIGS. 19A and 19B , a portion  517  of the sidewall  516   a  may extend beyond the sidewall  318  for abutting with part of a doorframe similar to the embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 15 and 16 . 
     The system  500 , in one embodiment, incorporates elements for securing the body structure  510  in the frame, such as one or more paddles  524 , 526  that rotate about an axis might be formed by a threaded screw  347  (see  FIG. 20 ) that may be rotated to rotate the paddles  524 ,  526  up against the doorframe to wedge against the doorframe as shown in the  FIGS. 13, 15 . The paddles rotate to fill the full width of the door frame and then slide up the screw  347  until the paddle pushes against the back of the frame, thereby securing the body structure to the frame. Other securement methods may be used without deviating from the invention for each disclosed embodiment. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 16 , generally a doorframe will include a doorstop structures  252  that extends into the door space  220  from the frame. That is, the frame forms a rabbet edge to form doorstop  252 . For the embodiment of  FIGS. 19A-19E , spacers  511  may extend into doorstop  252  and further support in position the body structure  510  therein for securing its location and position within the doorframe. (See  FIG. 16 .) In another embodiment of the invention, the system may be secured in other ways to the frame as discussed herein. So, the present invention and its use in a doorframe or as part of a frame is not limited to the embodiments shown in the illustrations. 
     In accordance with one feature of the invention, a plurality of ports  540   a,    541   a  are formed in the top or a top wall  512  of the body structure. Also, a plurality of ports  540   a,    541   b  are formed in the bottom or a bottom wall  514  as illustrated in  FIGS. 19A-19C . Each of the ports opens into the interior space  520  of body structure  510 . More specifically, respective ports in the top wall, such as top wall ports  540   a,    541   a  are longitudinally aligned in the body structure with respect to bottom wall ports  540   b,    541   b  thus forming a plurality of port pairs at the top and bottom of body structure  510 . For example, port  540   a  is longitudinally aligned with  540   b  to form a port pair, and port  541   a  is longitudinally aligned with port  541   b  for forming another port pair. The embodiment illustrated in the figures shows two port pairs, although a lesser or greater number might be implemented in the invention. Also, the ports are shown staggered in height on body structure  230  so that at least one of the ports is above another of the ports in the body structure. More specifically, port  540   a  in the top wall  512 , is higher than port  541   a.  Similarly, along the bottom wall  514 , the port  562   a  is lower than port  562   b.  Such staggering provides for proper positioning of conduit in certain positions along the door frame. For example, referring to  FIG. 10 , when systems, such as system  10  and/or  10   b  are installed at the head of the frame, radiused conduit from the side of the frame will transition into the system. With a setback port, such as port  540   a,  standard radiused conduit may be installed into that setback port of a system in the head of the frame and the conduit will roll down into the side of the frame, and still remain within the depth of the frame. In that way, the invention prevents the creation of a conflict with the conduit and the masonry that is installed against the frame. 
     The present invention further includes various features for directing any cabling or cabling tools through the interior space  540  and into and through various ports depending upon where the cabling is to be directed. To that end, system  500  incorporates a diverter or diverter surface  550  that extends into the interior space between the ports in the top and bottom of the body structure. In an embodiment, the diverter surfaces in the form of a curved diverter wall or sidewall as illustrated in the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 19C . Diverter surface  566  is positioned to extend into the interior space  540  and extends in the interior space inwardly from one sidewall  516   a  and toward another sidewall  516   b  that is opposite or opposing sidewall  516   a.  Specifically, the diverter surface includes a portion sloping into the interior space from a side of the body proximate a top port and a portion sloping into the interior space from proximate a bottom port. Diverter surface  550  also spans along the length of body structure  510  between the port pairs, as illustrated in  FIG. 19C . More specifically, in one embodiment, a portion of the sidewall  516   a  is curved inwardly in the body structure and forms the diverter surface  550  which includes an inside surface of the curved sidewall portion. The surface extends in the interior space and slopes from one side of the body proximate a port of a port pair and extends toward an opposing side of the body and then slopes back to the one side proximate to the other port of the port pair. (See  FIG. 19C .) The diverter surface  550  forms part of the sidewall  516   a  and is configured for directing an element that extends through a port of the port pair toward an area in the body structure. That is, diverter surface  550  diverts cabling/tools passing through the ports in different directions. The diverter surface  550  is configured for directing cabling/tools that come through ports at either end over to an area in space  520  that overlaps with an opening  560  that is formed in the body structure  510  as shown in  FIG. 19C . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 19A-19C , opening  560  might be formed in one of the sidewalls  518  and/or one of sidewalls  516  to provide access to the interior space  520 . 
     For example, opening  560  is formed in sidewalls  518 ,  516   b  proximate to the port pair  540   a,    540   b  but is spaced from port pair  560   b,    562   b.  In one disclosed embodiment, the opening  560  is formed such that a portion of the opening is positioned in a sidewall  516   b  that is opposite to the sidewall  516   a  that forms the diverter surface  550 . To that end, the diverter surface  550  will guide and direct cables/tools entering the interior space  520  through a port toward the opening  570 . Similarly, any cables/tools directed though opening  560  and toward the side of the body structure will be diverted in the direction of the ports. 
     In one particular embodiment of the diverter surface  550  as illustrated, the diverter surface is in the form of a curved wall that extends in the interior space  520 . Diverter surface  550  defines a surface that slopes from the sidewall  516   a  at one port such as port  540   a  along a sloping portion and toward the opposing sidewall  516   b.  The diverter surface  550  then has a peak and slopes back to the sidewall  516   a  and proximate to the other port  540   b.  In that way, the diverter surface works in both directions so that any cable/tool entering either port is diverted or directed toward opening  560 . In that way, the end of the cable or tool will then be readily accessible to an installer. Any cabling/tool entering through opening  570  can be guided to the ports by diverter surface  550 . The diverter surface  550  is formed as a generally smooth, curved portion of the sidewall to form one smooth curve that extends from the sidewall  516   a  toward sidewall  516   b,  then back to sidewall  516   a  to provide diversion of elements entering or exiting the ports. 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, each of the ports  540   a,    540   b  and  541   a,    541   b  as illustrated in  FIG. 19C  will include an opening  580 . Transition portions  572  are formed by the top and bottom walls  542 ,  544  around the openings. The transition portions  572  are sloped transition portions, as illustrated, and slope from the interior space  520  of the body structure to the various port openings  580 . Depending on the construction of the top or bottom wall, the sloped transition portions  572  may have interior surfaces that curve smoothly toward the openings  580 . (See  FIG. 19C .) Depending on the construction of the top wall  542  and bottom wall  544  and the length of the body  510 , portions of the top and bottom walls may slope to the transition portions, as seen in  FIG. 19C . The sloped transition portions  572  are configured for guiding the end of a cable or tool toward and into the opening  580  and thus out of the respective port without getting blocked or otherwise hung up within the interior space of the body structure  510 . In that way, cables may be pushed or pulled through the various ports with greater ease and efficiency without getting hung up. In one illustrative embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 19C , the diverter surface  550  terminates generally proximate to the various sloped transition portions  572  at the ports. This further ensures a smooth transition between cables being moved through the interior space that engage the diverter surface  550  and one or more of the sloped transition portions  572 . 
     Referring to the cross-sectional view of  FIG. 19C , the inner surfaces of the sloped transition portions  572  are generally smooth. In one embodiment, the inner surfaces may be essentially in the form of smooth generally conical surfaces that taper or transition to the openings  580 . That is, the inner surfaces transition smoothly to the beginning of the respective openings  580  so that there are no edges or discontinuities presented to a cable or tool that is moving into respective ports. As discussed with respect to other embodiments, the openings have an inner diameter D I  and on the other side of the opening  580  the port increases in diameter to a conduit diameter D c  to receive the end of a conduit, depending upon the size of the conduit. More specifically, the port includes a collar portion that is configured for receiving an end of the electronic conduit. The collar portion may be formed as part of or an extension of body structure  510 . The difference in diameter or size between D I  of the opening  580  and D c  for the collar portion of the port that receives the conduit end provides a seat that stops the insertion of the conduit end into the port opening and thus seats the conduit in the port as described herein. Referring you  FIG. 19C , the inner diameter D I , in one embodiment of the invention, is essentially sized to be close to or similar to the inner diameter of the electrical conduit. According to the embodiment of the invention, the system  500  and the various elements, such as the ports can be configured for receiving ½ inch conduit or three-quarter inch or larger conduit. The system of the invention can be utilized with PVC or metal conduit as appropriate. Generally, the collar portion of the body structure that forms the ports would it be dimensioned a suitable length L for providing a sufficient securement and proper seating of the conduit end as it transitions into the body structure  510 . 
     In accordance with another feature of the invention, a transition  521  is positioned between two ports of the plurality of ports that are formed in one of the top/top wall or the bottom/bottom wall. The transition  521  extends into the interior space  520  for separating the ports between the sloped transition portions  584 . (See  FIG. 19C .) The transition  521  provides further direction to a cable or tool that is inserted in the opening  580  and directed to one of the respective ports. As illustrated in  FIG. 19C , the transition  521  is positioned at the top of the body structure as well as the bottom of the body structure. The transition  521  also include a curved or rounded end between the ports for providing protection and smooth traveling of a cable or tool, such as between the two bottom wall ports  540   b,    541   b.  For example, it may be desirable to receive a cable or tool into the body structure through port  540   b,  and then direct that cable or tool back out of the system through port  541   b.  As such, the cable or tool would have to be bent over the transition  521  to extend between the port  540   b,    541   b.  The curved end of the transition allows for cable or tool to transition between the ports and to wrap around the transition  521  without causing damage or breakage in the wiring or the tool. 
     Depending upon the installation and use of the system  500  as illustrated in the Figures, one or more caps  130  may be implemented with the system in order to cover the ports and the openings defined thereby and to keep mortar and other debris out of the body structure and interior space. (See  FIG. 1 .) 
     Referring again to  FIGS. 3-5 and 10 , the system  500  of the invention will generally be installed into a doorframe  16 , which maybe a hollow metal frame structure as is noted similar to the installation of system  10  and various other systems as described herein to provide the advantages of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of  FIGS. 19A-19E  might incorporate various of the features in the embodiment of  FIGS. 7-13  as appropriate. 
       FIGS. 19D and 19E  illustrate another embodiment of the present invention wherein a removable insert may be used to segregate port pairs as well as to provide a diverter surface. Specifically, referring to  FIG. 19D , system  500  is shown with an insert  600  that spans between the top and bottom port pairs in body  510  to segregate the one port pair from the other and to act as an additional diverter surface  610  in the interior space  520 . Specifically, the insert  600  includes ends  612 ,  614  that are configured for engaging a portion of the body structure  510  in order to be secured within the interior space  520  of the body structure  510 . Specifically, the ends  612 ,  614  are configured to engage the transitions  521  between the port pairs to thus segregate the port pairs. For example, the insert  600  as illustrated in FIG.  19 E segregates the port pair  540   a,    540   b  from the port pair  541   a,    541   b.  Such a segregation may be desirable, for example, when different port pairs are handling wires or cables that have different voltages. For example, one port pair might handle high-voltage cables, such as 120V cables, whereas the other port pair might handle low-voltage cables. As such, the ends  612 ,  614  might snap onto the transitions  521  or otherwise be secured. In one embodiment, the ends may each include a fork structure  616  that is configured for engaging the transition  521  in a snap-fit as shown in  FIG. 19E . The insert  600  also includes a curved diverter surfaced  610  which can act to provide diversion of wires, cables or tools as they are inserted into the port pairs  540   a  or  540   b.  In that way, the diverter surface  610  operates for one port pair while the diverter surface  550  operates for another port pair. Thus, the usage of the system  500  of the invention can be expanded, such as to address different voltage wires and cables. A surface  611 , opposite the diverter surface  610  acts to contain any wires or cables spanning between the ports  541   a  and  541   b  from those cables or wires that span between ports  540   a  and  540   b.    
       FIG. 21  illustrates a perspective view of an insert  600  in accordance with one embodiments of the invention showing the various end structures  616  to allow it to snap-in and snap-out of the body structure  510 . In that way, the insert  600  may be installed, and removed as desired within the system  500 . 
       FIGS. 22-24  illustrate another embodiment of the invention that may be implemented with doorframes that are particularly deep or have dimensions that are not addressed by paddles  324 ,  326 . Specifically, as illustrated in  FIG. 23 , a frame  620  may have a depth D F  that is deeper than other typical frames, such as the frame shown in  FIG. 3-5 or 16 . To that end, extender sections  622  may be implemented on the paddles  324 ,  326  and on the body structure  510  for providing a greater depth to the system  500 . Referring to  FIG. 24 , one embodiment of the extender section  622  is illustrated and includes an end  624  that is configured for engaging with a paddle  324 ,  326  or the body structure  510  to provide the increased depth. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment of  FIG. 24 , the end includes a fork structure  626  and slides over a foot portion  628  of a paddle  324 ,  326  or a foot portion  630  of the body portion  510 . That is, the various foot portions  620 ,  630  are configured to be received by the fork structure  626  of the extender section  622 . In the illustrated embodiment as shown in  FIGS. 22 and 23 , extender section  622  is used at each of the opposing four corners of the body section  510 , either on portion  628  of a paddle or a foot portion  630  in order to provide the extender in each of the corners of the body structure so that it may be properly positioned and wedged into frame  620  as shown in  FIG. 23 . The extender section may be formed of a suitable plastic material similar to the body portion  510  of the system  500  as shown in  FIGS. 22 and 23 . The extender sections  622  may be added as appropriate to system  500  as needed for various different installations and frames to provide greater flexibility and usage of system  500  of the invention. As may be appreciated, the extender sections may be utilized with other of the noted systems herein to provide a greater depth for each of those systems to adjust to the particular frame.
