ABSTRACT:
A universal door jamb package of essentially three piece construction and suitable for operation with standard layout doors having knobs spaced approximately thirty-six inches from the bottom edge of the door. The three piece construction package for shipment to the builder comprises a hinge jamb leg with both ends thereof squared off and having symmetrically spaced hinges thereon on one side of a door stop strip. The packaged striker jamb leg is dadoed at both ends thereof and has a striker plate symmetrically spaced thereon on one side of a door stop strip. The package further includes a header jamb member which is squared off at end thereof and is dadoed at the other end thereof. Upon receipt of this package by the builder at a construction site, one of the two ends of the striker jamb leg is cut off by a predetermined distance to thereby square off the end of the striker jamb leg which is to abut a floor or carpet, thereby bringing the striker plate to a distance of approximately thirty-six inches from the cut off end of the striker jamb leg. Then, the header jamb member is positioned with its squared off end adjacent to the dadoed end of the striker jamb leg and is also positioned with its dadoed end covering the squared off end of the hinge jamb leg. Thus, the correct vertical orientation of each of the two door jamb legs and the correspondingly correct horizontal orientation of the header jamb member may be made at the construction site to accommodate both left handed and right handed doors of the standard layout configuration swingable both into and away from a room to which the door jamb is connected.
