Door Wedge is a kind of door
stopper. It is a piece of material made of wood or metal which is thick
at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other, which can be fixed
on to the door to stop it from moving any further. The wedge door stop
is a highly practical design which will grip carpets and floors in every
home. Door wedges are just right for slipping under the door to stop it
banging and trapping any little fingers.
The Door Wedge Can be Fixed on Three Portions of the
Door:
- On top of the door
- Over the hinge of the door and
- On the floor
A door wedge is considered to be inexpensive, and when two steel
pins are inserted into the floor, the door may be opened only a few
inches. The pins prevent the door wedge from slipping if force is
applied to the door from the outside. Door Wedges are useful for bedroom
doors because they can slow down intruders.
