The angle before applying the Subdivision surface...
...And after

In order to keep hard your edges, use the Crease. You find it on the right
The crease makes your edges purple, in order to show you wich one will remain hard or not.
Usually is set on 0.00 . . . Max it from 0.00 to 1.00 and your edges will keep their shape after a subdivision surface.
For example: Before subdivision
After

$\begingroup$ Thanks Fuboski. I tried and it works perfectly. Do I need to apply an Edge Split? $\endgroup$– GrobbySep 26, 2016 at 19:11

$\begingroup$ It dipends . . .take care: edge split will need with the shading not for the subdivision surface. In order to undertsand better their function i suggest you this thread blender.stackexchange.com/questions/734/… $\endgroup$– FuboskiSep 26, 2016 at 19:15

$\begingroup$ @Grobby if you are keeping the model in Blender exclusively then by all means yes if it helps but I think adding supporting geometry (edge loops) is an equally favorable option. See blender.stackexchange.com/questions/734/… for some tips. $\endgroup$– iKlsRSep 26, 2016 at 19:15
