ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a finger door guard device and method for covering the gap between an open door and its frame. The guard protects children or others from getting their fingers pinched by this gap when the door is moved from an open to a closed position. The guard is comprised of an elongated member having two edges, one of which is pivotally attached to the door frame, and the other of which is free-standing and rests against the surface of the door. The bottom surface of the guard is spring biased to the door frame so that the finger guard is biased to move with the door as it opens and closes. The method involves pivotally attaching a member to a door frame and biasing the surface of the member toward the frame.
