ABSTRACT:
A surround molding assembly for a doorway or window of a structure includes a pair of vertical molding members releasably secured by independent hanger strips along vertical sides of a doorway. The hanger strips include securing portions which releasably engage with securing portions of the vertical molding members to eliminate the need for nails, screws or the like. A mantle molding member is provided and fixedly secured over a top portion of the doorway without the need for external fastening elements. An internal corner member is positioned adjacent each end of the mantle molding member to direct water away from the doorway. In another embodiment a header assembly is disclosed which is adapted to be secured to an uneven exterior surface of a structure such as aluminum or vinyl siding.
