Quality Doorstops Whether you are carrying in a bundle of groceries, giving your home a nice breeze of fresh air, or trying to vacuum multiple rooms, there is nothing worse than being without a door stop and having a door slam in your face or even pinch your fingers. This usually happens when there isn’t an adequate way to keep the door stopper! No one likes to push heavy furniture or items in front of their door just to hold it open, which is why Osburn Dorsey invented the doorstop, and many other door-related items, in 1878. Doorstops may seem as simple as they come, but there are many qualities that define a superior doorstop. First and foremost is the material that the door wedge is created from. A high-grade flexible rubber door stop is what the customer should really be looking for, which prevents damage to the door and floor, and a rubber door stop is much easier to remove than a plastic door stop. Rubber door stops should also have a type of slotted grip on the bottom to serve as the ultimate doorwedge. And most importantly, be made of non-toxic safe substance, in the case of being grabbed by small children and pets. A recent development in the exciting world of doorstops is the Door Doggie™, made by Jefco, which is a high-grade flexible rubber door wedge with a chain attached to the doorknob. This rubber door stop with leash serves many purposes, including the basic elimination of having to constantly bend over to retrieve the doorstop, which is such a pain. This also abolishes the concept of constantly lost doorstops, (“Where is that thing?”). When the door stopper is not in use, many can be purchased with a wall mount, so that a chain isn’t just lying around to get tangled. The rubber doorstop can be placed on the wall behind the doorknob and serve as a door bumper with the purpose of stopping the knob from slamming into the wall behind it. Many hotels have chosen Jefco as their official hotel door stop, especially appreciated by the housekeeping staff. Though door stops seem like the most uncomplicated device, you’d be surprised how many people get it wrong and hurt themselves in the process. To insert a door wedge, hold the door and use your foot to push the tip of the wedge up to the door. While steadying the wedge in place, pull the door back onto the door wedge. Removal of the doorstop is just the reverse of this, but remember not to unwedge with too much force, or you may bruise an appendage or two. Simple? It certainly is! A rubber door wedge can handle a variety of doors types, depending on their quality. A superior interior/exterior door stop such as the Door Doggie™, will be able to handle any heavy-duty, spring-loaded door. Therefore, doorstops are not only useful in the home, but should be on the list of typical church supplies, restaurant supplies, hotel supplies, (handy for as a hotel door stop for housekeeping especially) office supplies, school supplies and more. The door wedge has saved many walls, elbows and luggage carriers from being smashed by a swinging door. By simply wedging a rubber door stop beneath the door, jobs that once took many people to perform (holding the door open for someone) and a much longer time to perform than needed, now can be done quickly and smoothly, with the amazing Door Doggie™ available at www.BuyJefco.com and invented by James Farmer in Story, Wyoming.
