ABSTRACT:
A keeper clip for securing the joints between casings of a type having a channel for attachment to a metal door frame. The keeper clip provides a secure and attractive joint without gaps or misalignment. The keeper clip has an elongated crosspiece extending between a pair of legs and an arm. Each of the pair of legs extend normally from an end of the crosspiece. The pair of legs and crosspiece thus form a U-shaped cross section for frictional reception within the channel of the header casing. The arm extends coplanar with the elongated crosspiece along the longitudinal axis of the header casing. The arm is resiliently deformable to receive an offset overlay of a side casing between the header casing and the arm. A portion of a free end of the arm is bent in a direction away from the header casing to permit easy insertion of the offset overlay. The keeper clip may be formed of a single strip of resilient material such as spring steel.
