An apparatus for reinforcing a door jamb of the type having an inner bolt receiving face and a perpendicular outer face normally covered by a decorative molding. The apparatus comprises a first flat elongate metal plate adapted to be mounted flush with a portion of the inner bolt receiving face of a door jamb and including a hole defining a bolt receiving opening and a plurality of spaced apart openings adapted to receive mounting screws. A second elongate metal plate having an L-shaped cross-section and including a first side adapted to overlie the first metal plate and a second side including a second bolt receiving opening and a second plurality of spaced apart holes defining second mounting screw openings adapted to receive mounting screws. The second elongate metal plate is slidably inserted beneath a portion of the decorative molding and to lie in contacting abutting relation with a portion of the outer face of the door jamb. The openings in the first and second metal plates correspond so that they can be attached to a door frame in overlying contacting abutting relation with each other and with the door jamb with mounting screws to strengthen the door jamb.
