A lock kit for a fenestration assembly includes a panel stop. The fenestration assembly includes a first panel and a second panel, at least one of the first and second panels being slideable relative the other of the first and second panels. The panel stop is configured to pivotably mount within a recess of a frame member of the first panel and pivot between a first stop position configured to maintain the first and second panels in a fully closed position, a second stop position configured to limit sliding of the first and second panels beyond a preset partially-open position, and a third position substantially within the recess, the third position being configured to not restrict a range of motion of the first and second panels.

The present invention is a door barricade having a pivoting locking arm which drops into a floor hole to lock a barricade in place.

A door holder, includes a retainer housing (230), which can be connected either to a door or a door frame, and a door retainer rod, which penetrates the retainer housing (230) and which can be articulated to the other of the door and the door frame The door retainer rod has at least one braking surface, and at least one braking element (50) that can be displaced toward the at least one braking surface is arranged on the retainer housing (230), which the braking element can be brought in contact with the at least one braking surface of the door retainer rod at least in some sections and thus produces a primary braking force component against the displacement of the door retainer rod, wherein the door retainer rod has at least one guiding surface, which is inclined with respect to the braking surface. A door holder that provides high holding forces at least in some sections is created in that at least one guiding element (235a, 235b) is arranged on the retainer housing (230), which the guiding element can be brought in contact with the at least one guiding surface at least in some regions and produces a secondary braking force component against the displacement of the door retainer rod.

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 gate prop device is disclosed herein and includes a main body having a second portion inserted into a first portion to enable a length of the gate prop device to be adjusted. The gate prop device attaches to a gate to prevent the gate from being moved, particularly by the wind. A sharp, or rounded end of the second portion pierces a ground beneath the gate to prevent the gate prop device from moving. The gate prop device is compact and is able to be folded and stored on the gate such that the gate prop device is easily accessible for use in propping open the gate when needed.
