Abstract: A jamb comprising: (a) a main portion comprising a body portion and a doorstop portion; and (b) a cover member adhered to the main portion. The body portion has a width defined by a first edge and a second edge. The doorstop portion has a width defined by a third edge and a fourth edge. The width of the doorstop portion is less than the width of the body portion. The body portion and the doorstop portion each have a generally rectangular cross section. The doorstop portion is disposed on the body portion such that the first edge of the body portion and the third edge of the doorstop portion are aligned so as to form an inside corner and impart to the main portion a generally L-shaped cross section. The cover member extends from about the inside corner around the doorstop portion to at least the body portion.
