Door prop apparatus and methods of use
The door prop apparatus disclosed herein is configured to secure a door in a partially opened position relative to a door frame defining a doorway, in various aspects. The door prop apparatus includes a mounting member adapted to attach to the door frame latch jamb and thereby secure the apparatus to the latch jamb, in various aspects. The door prop apparatus includes a latch receiving member adapted to receive the door latch therein, in various aspects. As the door is urged from an open position towards a closed position, the latch receiving member receives the door latch therein and thereby secures the door in the partially opened position, in various aspects. The door handle is operable to retract the latch into the door and thereby release the door from the secured partially opened position, in various aspects. Related methods are disclosed.

DOORSTOP
A security doorstop has a base and a jaw pivotally connected to the base. A first end of the jaw has upwardly pointing teeth adapted to drive or press into an underside of a door, while the base has downwardly pointing teeth adapted to drive or press into a floor surface under the door underside. The actuator includes a screw and a threaded collar mounted on the screw so that, when the threaded collar is turned to be driven downward, operates to press downwardly on a proximal portion of the jaw so as to pivot a distal portion of the jaw upward, to press the jaw teeth upward against the door underside and the base teeth against the floor.

Wedge for keeping an appliance access door open
A wedge for keeping an appliance access door open to air dry at selectable minimum angles. The wedge attaches through a magnetic connection to any portion of the threshold of the access door for controlling the minimum angle. The wedge has a low profile so that the wedge does not protrude from the threshold.

Door Stopper
A wedge-shaped door stopper that includes a lower member including soft elastic material and an upper member including rigid material with high hardness to prevent a bottom surface of the door stopper from slipping along over a floor surface and allows the bottom surface to contact the floor surface firmly with high friction. The upper member is removably coupled to the top surface of the lower member and has a smooth, sloped top surface. When the door stopper is used between the floor surface and a bottom of the door and a force is applied to the door in the direction that the door is closed, the bottom of the door glides up on the sloped top surface of the upper member.

Door brace
A door brace to prevent the opening of a door into a room or other area by an intruder includes an elongated tube that is terminated at each end by a door mounting flange and a floor mounting flange. The door mounting flange is configured to be slideably received within a bracket that is mounted to the door. The floor mounting flange includes an aperture for receiving a pin therethrough that is also received within an aperture that has been bored into the surface of the floor. Thus, when the door brace is mounted between the door and floor, the strength of the door is increased, thus preventing the door from being opened by the use of a large entry force applied to the door by an intruder seeking entry into the room or area.
LIFT SUPPORT BRACING DEVICE AND METHOD
A bracing device, for use with a lift support body and a piston rod connected to the lift support body, comprises a piston rod fastener configured to be selectively attachable to an outer surface of the piston rod so as to extend between the lift support body and the coupling device when attached to the piston rod. The bracing device additionally includes a lift support body fastener coupled to the piston rod fastener and configured to be selectively attachable to an outer surface of the lift support body. The piston rod fastener is disconnected from the piston rod when the lift support body fastener is attached to the outer surface of the lift support body.
