I’ve been looking for something like this door stopper that would fit my apartment needs and be easy to use, easy to store, and so on. I love that it can stay attached to the door so it’s easily accessible. The adjustments to fit your door knob height were simple and quick!
However, every time I opened my door it would swing away from the door and then bang back into it when the door was closed. Although it has a magnet to keep the two halves together, I felt it needed something else to keep it from swinging and to also (and most importantly) ensure it didn’t accidentally come unfolded if the door was accidentally slammed or something else occurred that made the second half fall into place after the door was shut! (Not saying it would do this, I just tend to error on the side of caution and I know with my luck it would happen to me! lol ) So I simply placed two magnets with hooks (NOT INCLUDED WITH DOOR BRACE) on either side of the posts, made sure the pins were facing opposite directions, and hooked the pin loops over the hooks! The poles also are gently held in place by the surface of the magnetic hooks so it no longer swings or bangs when opening and closing the door. In addition, it would also take 60 pounds of pressure to dislodge the magnetic hooks for the brace to fall into place after the door is shut.
Makes me feel much better about having it on the door when I leave the house knowing it won’t inadvertently lock me out of my own place!
Only other possible concern I have is the button lock on the pins isn't very stiff/strong and the pins come out too easily for my liking. While this would be very handy for those who travel with it and need to adjust the fit constantly, I would like a more secure setting. At some point I will likely look into purchasing different pins, but until then will temporarily zip tie the pins in place. Reusable zip ties are great for these types of uses!
