ABSTRACT:
A door frame guard comprising, in accordance with an apparatus of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of interface members and a linking member flexibly connected to the plurality of interface members. Each interface member of the plurality of interface members is sized interface appropriately with a respective surface of a door frame without extending into door frame corners or about door frame edges. Adjacent interface members define gaps which extend between a top edge and a bottom edge of the door frame guard in a direction substantially parallel to side edges of the door frame guard. The gaps and linking member enable adjacent interface members to rotate relative to one another and relative to the other interface members. According to a method of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of interface members of the door frame guard reside adjacent to surfaces of an upright side of a door frame and interact magnetically with the surfaces to removably secure the door frame guard to the door frame. When so positioned the gaps of the door frame guard reside adjacent to and align with corners and edges of the door frame and the linking member spans the door frame from front to back within the door frame opening, thereby enabling the front surface of the linking member to protect the paint on the corners and edges of the door frame from bumps, bangs, and scrapes which may tend to chip or wear away the paint.
