Abstract: When applied to an existing or new cylinder type door closer, The user can open and maintain the door fully open by using only the door handle. My invention is comprised of a cylindrical sleeve, made in two longitudinal snaped together halves. This sleeve closely surrounds the cylinder while allowing the cylinder free movement with in. One end is joined at the door jamb mounting bracket and piston rod end by a new two ended connecting pen. To hold the door fully open a spring or gravity actuated latch is embodied in one half of the sleeve. The latch rides on the cylinder until it achieves it,s full reach. At this point the latch automatically extends past the face of the cylinder preventing the cylinders return. To close the door the latch is manually retracted. Additional manual only latches are also embodied in the sleeve for intermediate door open positions.
