An adjustable garage door jamb trim system includes: an interior door jamb trim; and an exterior door jamb trim, wherein the interior door jamb trim and exterior door jamb trim form an adjustable mating configuration that seal the interface between the interior door jamb trim and the exterior door jamb trim when the interior door jamb trim and exterior door jamb trim are secured to a door jamb having a width between a first width and a second width.
Claims16
An adjustable garage doorjamb trim system comprising:
- an interior door jamb trim including a first sealing flange, a second sealing flange perpendicular to the first sealing flange, and an inner wall spaced from the second sealing flange to form a slot defined by the second sealing flange and the inner wall, wherein the first sealing flange and second sealing flange are flush against a garage doorjamb;
- and
- an exterior door jamb trim including a third sealing flange and an arm perpendicular to the third sealing flange, wherein the arm includes at least two spacers, wherein the spacers protrude perpendicular from an inner surface of the arm;
- wherein, when the interior door jamb trim is secured to a first corner of the garage door jamb and the exterior door jamb is secured to a second corner of the garage door jamb, the arm and at least one of the spacers extends into the slot and the at least one of the spacers spans the distance between the second sealing flange and the inner surface of the arm, such that a space is maintained between the inner surface of the arm and the second sealing flange and such that an outer surface of the arm is held in contact with the inner wall,
- wherein the second sealing flange is attached to the garage door jamb by a fastener, wherein a distal end of the fastener is positioned in at least a portion of the space between the second sealing flange and the inner surface of the arm.
