ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting a hung door and the adjacent trim and wallboard from damage during construction. The device has a channel having an closed end and a open end and a plurality of upstanding sidewalls therebetween. The open end and the closed end and the upstanding sidewalls form an engagement slot that releasably grips a vertical edge of the door. Each upstanding wall is fabricated from a resilient material that contacts an exterior surface of the door without damaging the door in releasable communication. A bumper is disposed on an outer surface of the channel for resiliently contacting the adjacent wallboard and trim and rebounding away after contact. Finally, a wedge is gluably adhered to an outer surface of the closed end of the channel and urges closed communication between the door and an upstanding jamb member adjacent the door.
