A doorjamb safety system, device and method for utilization in holding open a door, and preferably an automatically closing door. The system can include a handle unit, a wedge unit slidably associated with handle unit, and a chock unit attachable with the handle unit and slidably associated with the edge unit. The chock unit includes a triangularly shaped chock and a shaft including multiple locking holes. The wedge unit includes a button that is engageable with the locking holes to lock the chock in a space apart relation with wedge sides of the wedge unit. The chock unit is rotatable allowing for insertion into a doorjamb, while the spacing between the chock and the wedge sides is adjustable to clamp a corner of a door frame and a door therebetween. The handle unit can include an electronic device such as a light.

The emergency egress apparatus includes a protuberance mated to a first portion of the door barricade and a keeper mated to a second portion of the door barricade. A retainer is selectively disposed between one of two positions. A first position defines the placement of the retainer that establishes an interference fit between the protuberance and the keeper. A second position defines the placement of the retainer such that it is not in contact with the protuberance or the keeper. The first position secures the first portion of the door barricaded with respect to the second portion of the door barricade, and the second position decouples the first portion of the door barricade with respect to the second portion of the door barricade

A doorstop includes a bulb-shaped head portion, a tail portion, and a notch formed in a distal end of the tail portion. The doorstop is a one-piece apparatus molded from non-toxic rubber and adapted to be positioned in a gap above a hinge between a doorframe and a door to prevent the door from full closure. For storage of the doorstop, the tail portion can wrap around a door knob and insert into the notch to retain the doorstop in place.

A door chock device, including: a connecting rod having two ends and two sides; and a first and second wedge, slideably attached to opposites sides of the connecting rod through a hinge bracket attached near the long base of each wedge, the first and second wedges have opposing slopes adapted to secure a portion of a base of a hinged man-door between the first and second wedge when the first and second wedge slide toward each other. Also disclosed is a method of applying a coating to a hung hinged man-door using the man-door chock device.
