  • Publication number: 20210180374
    Abstract: A door retention device that can maintain a door in an open configuration includes a wall mounting member adapted to be mounted on a wall or other object at a position where the door retention device can engage an open door, a door retaining member comprising an arm and a door engaging member, and a connection mechanism rotatably connecting the door retaining member to the wall mounting member. The door retaining member is rotatable relative to the wall mounting member between a door receiving position where a door can be received without being retained and a door retaining position where the door engaging member can engage the door in a manner that retains the door in an open configuration. The door retention device can be biased towards a door receiving position, latched in a door retaining position, be adjustable, and/or be universally engageable with multiple shaped doorknobs or handles.
