  • Publication number: 20180266167
    Abstract: A door frame protector includes a tube having a slot which extends the entire length of the tube. The tube is preferably a wound paper tube 12-96 inches long. The tube is sufficiently resilient so that it can be opened and placed around a door jamb and then released so that the edges of the slot compressively engage the wall adjacent the door jamb. The protector can protect a new or freshly painted door jamb from damage from being hit or bumped when a building is under construction.
