Abstract
A two part injection molded plastic cover designed to cover a wooden door frame mounted to a surrounding wall. The cover parts are prefabricated and adhesively secured to one another. The cover parts overlap one another and the overlapping cover has a groove filled with packing to act as a seal between an adjacent door and the cover. The cover serves to mask any damages that might have occurred to the door frame and also is aesthetically attractive, especially since it can be stained to resemble natural wood, or painted with any one of a number of colors. A section of the cover that faces frontally is overlaid with an ornamental molding.
