Abstract: A system and method of preventing the fixed side opening of a door from closing along the door jamb of a door frame. A guard device is provided generally comprising a pivoting member, an attachment member, a mounting system and a bumper. The pivoting member has a first end and a second end. An attachment member and bumper attach to the pivoting member. Mounting system connects to the attachment member at a central void. The mounting system connects to a prior art door stop of a door frame such that the guard device can swivel between a first position and a second position. In a first position guard device is proximate door stop such that the door is capable of fully closing against door stop. In a second position guard device is capable of maintaining the fixed side opening of the prior art door assembly. Bumper swivels outward to contact the end of the door. After guard device is engaged in the second position fixed side opening is incapable of narrowing.
