ABSTRACT:
The assembly has a multi-tabbed bracket for fixing to a door behind, and parallel with, a latch-actuating rod, and a semi-circular rod guard with latching fingers for slidable engagement with the tabs of the bracket for enclosing and protecting the latch-actuating rod. In addition, the assembly has a shroud-like guard for emplacement over a rod-actuated latch. The shroud-like latch guard has a ramped surface which, when the guard is in place, presents an impingement surface for wheeled devices to facilitate an opening of the door. The shroud-like guard, then, both protects the latch over which it is emplaced and makes the opening of the door more facile.
