Claims16
An assembly for controlling and managing a door perimeter clearance of a door, the assembly comprising:
- a horizontal portion including a center portion configured to secure the assembly along a vertical edge of at least one of the door or a door frame adjacent the door;
- a first leg portion connected to the horizontal portion at a first angle at a first distal end of the horizontal portion;
- and
- a second leg portion connected to the horizontal portion at a second angle at a second distal end of the horizontal portion,
- wherein the first and second angles are independently adjusted to change a width and a height of the assembly in order to maintain the door perimeter clearance of the door in accordance with a selected distance,
- wherein the width of the assembly is less than or equal to a width of the vertical edge of the door when the assembly is secured to the vertical edge of the at least one of the door or the door frame adjacent the door.
