Retractable door protection device

Abstract

A Door Protector for an overhead retractable door comprising a pair of barrier portions, each in pivoting communication with a pair of saddle portions. Each of the barrier portions and the paired saddle portions are generally positioned parallel to first and second ends of a retractable door. The barrier portions comprise one or more barrier foot portions and one or more barrier positioning tabs. Barrier portions pivot in a 90° arc from/to a vertical position to a horizontal position. In the vertical position, barrier portion tabs may be used to support a roller assembly and maintain on open door in a retracted position. Practice of the present invention precludes closing of a retracted door until such time as barrier portions are pivoted to their horizontal position to serve as a barrier and preclude objects from encroaching upon or damaging the lower portion of a closed garage door.
