  • Patent number: 8245448
    Abstract: A door plug for securing a pre-hung door in a fixed, closed position relative to a door jamb assembly during shipping, delivery, and/or installation is provided. The door plug includes a bolt member and a fastener. The bolt member can include a collar and a shaft extending from the collar. The shaft can include a bore along a longitudinal axis and a first engaging portion distributed along the bore. The fastener can include a head and a shank extending from the flange. The shank can extend into the bore of the bolt member for sufficient engagement between the first and second engaging portions. The fastener and the bolt member are adapted to permit the fastener to be slidably inserted into the bore of the bolt member in a longitudinal direction without screwing, and adapted to inhibit the fastener from being pulled from the bore in an opposite longitudinal direction.
