Door stopping system
A door stopping system comprises a mounting member, a supporting member, a leg member, a spring member, a sleeve member, a first pin member and a second pin member. The mounting member is pivotally connected with the supporting member via the first pin member, the leg member is pivotally connected with the supporting member via the second pin member, the mounting member and the leg member are oppositely located to each other along the supporting member, the spring member is biased in between the supporting member and the leg member, and the sleeve member is slidably sleeved on the supporting member. The mounting member is configured to be removably attached to a door. The leg member is configured to contact a ground.
Doorstop for restricting entry
Provided herein is a doorstop that may be utilized to prevent opening of a door. Generally, the doorstop is configured for attachment near a bottom edge of a pull side of a door. The doorstop has a deployable wedge or stop element (e.g., stop cylinder) that moves from a suspended position, above a floor surface, to a deployed position in contact with a floor surface. After contacting the floor surface, any attempt to open the door imparts a rotation on the stop element. A radial dimension of the stop element increases along a length of a surface that contact the floor surface. In this regard, rotating the stop element provides an upward lift to the door, which is counteracted by hinges of the door. That is, rotating the stop element results in the door wedging, which prevents opening the door.
Portable door securement device
A portable door securement device is provided having a member extending from a first end engaged to a doorknob of a door to a second end engaged with a floor adjacent the door, to prevent opening of the door in a direction toward the engaged member. A slot at a first end of the member engages around a stem of the door handle thereby preventing disengagement of the member from the door, and preventing opening of the door.
Sound-activated remote release electronic door stop
A remote-released door stop activated by specific sound is disclosed. With a remote detection device mounted on the door or elsewhere, a receiver can distinguish an alarm and release the door automatically to achieve closure for fire integrity and intruder prevention.
Sliding door foot bolt
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.
SUPPORT APPARATUS
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.
Door barricade
The present invention is a door barricade having a pivoting locking arm which drops into a floor hole to lock a barricade in place.
GATE HOLD OPEN DEVICE
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.
GATE PROP DEVICE
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.
Doorstop lifting device and method
The Lift Stop device includes an aluminum rod that is attached to a doorstop that is secured to a door for the purpose of lifting a doorstop from its down position to an up position.
