Hinge guard system and method

A kit for securing at least two hinges of a door, the at least two hinges each including a hinge-body and two hinge-wings, the two hinge-wings being pivotable between an open-condition and a closed-condition via opening and closing of the door, the kit comprising:

• a first-device for securement over one of the at least two hinges of the door, the first-device including:
• a first sleeve-body having a first inner-capacity defined by a first outer-shell, the first outer-shell including a first closed-end, a first substantially open-end opposite the first closed-end, a first length therebetween, and a first hinge-receiving aperture spanning the first length of the first outer-shell from the first substantially open-end and terminating before the first closed-end;
• and
• a second-device for securement over another one of the at least two hinges of the door, the second-device including:
• a second sleeve-body having a second inner-capacity defined by a second outer-shell, the second outer-shell including a second closed-end, a second substantially open-end opposite the second closed-end, a second length therebetween, and a second hinge-receiving aperture spanning the second length of the second outer-shell from the second substantially open-end and terminating before the second closed-end;
• and
• wherein the first-device is configured to slide over one of the hinge-body when one of the two hinge-wings are in the closed-condition, and further configured to secure the one of the hinge-body within the first inner-capacity of the first sleeve-body such that the door has limited ability to open;
• and
• wherein the second-device is configured to slide over another one of the hinge-body when another one of the two hinge-wings are in the closed-condition, and further configured to secure the another one of the hinge-body within the second inner-capacity of the second sleeve-body such that the door has the limited ability to open.

A method of using a device for securement over a hinge of a door, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a device for securement over the hinge of the door, the hinge including a hinge-body and two hinge-wings, the two hinge-wings being pivotable between an open-condition and a closed-condition via opening and closing of the door, the device including:
• a sleeve-body including an inner-capacity defined by an outer-shell, the outer-shell having a closed-end, a substantially open-end opposite the closed-end, a length therebetween, and a hinge-receiving aperture spanning the length of the outer-shell from the substantially open-end and terminating before the closed-end;
• closing the door;
• sliding the substantially open-end of the sleeve-body over the hinge-body when the two hinge-wigs are in the closed-condition, until the hinge-body reaches the closed-end of the sleeve-body;
• and
• securing the hinge-body within the inner-capacity of the sleeve-body.
