Abstract: A protective shield designed for attachment to the door and door jamb for covering a pinch-void area and preventing fingers and other objects from getting pinched when the door closes. The unique geometry of the shield and narrow attachment allows for easy installation on door assemblies with push bars or panic devices. The protective shield is simple in design and thus longer lasting, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the protective shield allows a relatively large swinging movement of the door, for instance up to 110 degrees, more preferably up to 180 degrees, without any resultant damage to the protective shield, to the door or to the door hardware.
