| Summary: | This invention relates to a door guard particularly intended to protect, for example, the frames of doors on industrial freezers, storage lockers or units and the like located in warehouses, grocery stores or similar business establishments. In many instances, a freezer, storage locker or other storage unit will be installed in a warehouse without having any type of protection placed around its doorframe. Under such circumstances, nothing is in place to prevent an object such as a forklift or pallet from colliding with the doorframe and causing significant damage. Such repeated collisions cause undue wear on the doorframe, and contribute to premature replacement of the frame or in some cases, the entire storage unit. In addition, such collisions result in damage to forklifts and pallets, and increase the risk of loss of the inventory being transported.
A door guard for protecting a doorframe and including a deflecting member having a vertically-oriented, planar, and horizontally-elongate deflecting surface adapted for being positioned adjacent to a side of a doorframe and projecting outwardly therefrom at an oblique angle thereto for deflecting a colliding object away from the doorframe. |
