Abstract

The present invention provides a building component that can effectively suppress the expansion and contraction of a resin material fixed to a metal material due to temperature changes. [Solution] The joinery 10 has a middle rail 28 between the left and right vertical frames 25, 26, which is made up of a metal middle rail 50 on the exterior side and a resin middle rail 51 on the interior side. The middle rail 28 is joined to the vertical frames 25, 26 in a mortise and tenon joint manner. The metal middle rail 50 and the resin middle rail 51 have first engaging portions 79 that engage with each other at the top and bottom, and second engaging portions 81 that engage with each other between the two first engaging portions 79. The second engaging portion 81 is formed when a metal engaging piece 62, which is part of the metal middle rail 50, is pressed against and crimped against a resin engaging piece 80, which is part of the resin middle rail 51, near at least one of the left and right ends of the middle rail 28, thereby forming a crimped portion 83.
