A door safety guard comprising:
- an elongated member having two lateral portions for respectively contacting a surface of a door and a surface of an adjacent door frame, the elongated member capable of being interconnected with another elongated member such that one elongated member is positioned on each side of the door and rests along a length of the door surface and the adjacent door frame surface so as to substantially cover gaps formed between the door and the adjacent door frame when the door is in an opened position and prevent a finger or other object from being pinched or crushed when the door is closed, wherein the elongated member is held in position through interconnection with the other elongated member.
A door safety guard comprising:
- at least two elongated members, each having two lateral portions for respectively contacting a surface of a door and a surface of an adjacent door frame;
- and
- at least one connector for interconnecting the elongated members such that an elongated member is positioned on each side of the door and rests along a length of the door surface and the adjacent door frame surface so as to substantially cover gaps formed between the door and the adjacent door frame when the door is in an opened position and prevent a finger or other object from being pinched or crushed when the door is closed.
