Oklahoma ABLE Tech: Device Loan: Device Details for Over the Hinge Door Prop

Over the Hinge Door Prop

Device Description

The Over the Hinge Door Prop with Magnet is a compact, hands-free door-holding aid designed to keep doors open without the need to bend down, reposition heavy objects, or manually hold a door in place. Originally created by a firefighter for emergency services, this doorstop attaches directly over a standard door hinge and holds the door securely open using gravity rather than floor pressure, making it suitable for home, office, school, and institutional use as well as professional environments.
The doorstop folds out quickly with one hand and slips over the hinge pin, allowing the user to walk straight through the doorway while the door remains open. When not in use, it folds flat and attaches magnetically to any metal surface, such as a door frame or appliance, keeping it easily accessible without creating clutter. This design eliminates the need to reach down to place or remove a traditional floor wedge and helps reduce strain for individuals with limited mobility, arthritis, or balance concerns.
Constructed from durable engineered plastic with corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel components, the Fat Ivan doorstop is lightweight yet built to withstand repeated daily use. It does not damage the door or frame and works on most standard door hinges. Each unit measures approximately 3 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, and the product is sold as a two-pack.
