Abstract

A device for resisting entry of an object into a space between the hinged edge of a door and associated door jamb includes an elongated sheet of material thin enough to be placed in this space without impeding the closing of the door. The sheet has first and second strips adapted to be fixedly connected within the space to the door and jamb, respectively. A third strip interconnects the first and second strips and coacts therewith to resist entry of objects into the space when the door and jamb are brought together.
