  • Patent number: 4813204
    Abstract: An adjustable door jamb assembly which can be simply and accurately aligned and installed in a door opening. Sleeves mounted on door jamb pieces are connected by shafts forming guide units so the door jamb pieces can slide together or apart. The sleeves of the guide units surround the corresponding shafts so as to substantially eliminate play between the door jamb pieces in both the vertical and the horizontal direction parallel to the plane of the door opening. In a preferred embodiment, the sleeves and shafts are cylindrical for greater ease in installation of the door jamb assembly.
