A door locking device has a body with an overhanging ledge to mate with a bottom edge of a door. The body has a sliding member that is captured to the body and an eccentric cam with a faceted perimeter surface that rotates about an eccentric axis. When the eccentric cam rotates, the sliding member is moved from a retracted position toward an extended position. The sliding member has a foot portion that contacts a portion of the floor to lock the door by applying pressure between the floor and the bottom edge of the door. An arm is affixed to the eccentric cam and has a folding handle.

A door stop mechanisms is disclosed that is arranged for preventing a door from swinging back against a wall. The door stop mechanisms are flexible, wall mounted door stops to absorb the impact of the swinging door or other mechanisms imparting a sideways force. The door stops are also arranged to absorb the force, flex, and return, without damage to the mechanism. One embodiment of a door stop mechanism, according to the present invention comprises a bottom portion having a bottom hollow section and a top portion on the bottom portion. The top portion has a top hollow section facing the bottom hollow section. A spring is arranged in the top and bottom hollow sections. A first end of the spring is attached to the top portion and a second end of the spring is attached to the bottom portion. The spring holds the top portion to the bottom portion in alignment while also allowing the top portion to move in relation to the bottom portion in response to a force. The spring also returns the top portion in alignment with the bottom portion when the force is removed.

A gate hold open device is configured to hold the gate open at any point along the swing of the gate. A mounting bracket hingedly secures one end of a prop leg to the gate. A sliding handle hangs from the gate to secure the prop leg to the gate when the gate is in a closed position and the device is disengaged or stored. The sliding handle is lifted from the gate such that the prop leg can pivot or rotate about the mounting bracket and fall to the ground. The gate can then be flung open, and the prop leg will drag along the ground until the gate begins to swing back toward the closed position. The prop leg jams into the ground, holding the gate open until a user lifts the prop leg and hangs the sliding handle back on the gate.

A support apparatus comprising an engagement member having a plurality of walls integrally formed with each other and a support member. The support member includes a bracket member pivotably coupled to the engagement member and a leg member pivotably coupled to the bracket member. The bracket member comprises a plurality of fixing apertures corresponding to a fixing member extending from the engagement member. Each fixing aperture is configured to receive the fixing member. A pivot aperture is provided for receiving a pivot member which is configured to be received by a pivot support positioned on the engagement member. A biasing member is coupled to the pivot member such that the pivot member is movable with the bracket member away from the engagement member and such that the bracket member is rotatable when the pivot member is moved away from the engagement member. The leg member is adjustably extendable.

A magnetic doorstop. The magnetic doorstop includes a plate that can be mounted on a surface, such as a door. An arm extends from the plate at a hinge and can be pivoted about the hinge such that the arm can occupy an up position and a down position. A first end of the arm engages with a floor in the down position. While engaged with the floor, the first end of the arm prevents the door from moving. A magnet is disposed on the plate in line with the arm. The arm can magnetically secure to the plate in the up position.

Electronic door stop devices, an electronic door stop remote broadcast device, and a visual lockdown notification and alert device are disclosed. The electronic door stop devices include a sound-activated remote release electronic door stop that automatically detects a particular sound and releases a propped open door and a silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stop that provides automatic closing of propped open doors, by both silent broadcast signal and particular sound detection. The electronic door stop remote broadcast device broadcasts a wireless data signal to multiple silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops to automatically and concurrently release any doors propped open by the silent broadcast signal-activated electronic door stops. The visual lockdown notification and alert device flashes an LED visual alert in silent mode or sound-activated.

A door stop comprises an elongate threaded member having a flat head section, such as a flat head bolt or elevator bolt, and a mounting panel carried on the threaded member. A cushioning member made of felt or other soft non-abrasive material can be positioned on the head section. A locking nut can be threaded on the threaded member, with the mounting panel between the locking nut and the head section. An alternative door stop comprises a spring-loaded member, and an elongate rod telescopically positioned within the spring-loaded member and adapted for sliding movement therein. A mounting panel can be formed on the spring-loaded member. A head section can be positioned on one end of the rod, and a cushioning member, made of felt or other soft, non-abrasive material can be attached to the outer surface of the head section.
