Abstract: There is disclosed a device for limiting the swinging of a door hingedly connected to a second wall adjacent to the first wall. The device includes a bracket adapted to be mounted on the door hinge for swinging about its axis, as well as first and second arms pivotally connected to the bracket for swinging toward and away from the door and adjacent wall, respectively. A strut extends between the arms to limit swinging the first arm toward the second arm when the second arm is against the second wall, and one end of the strut is movable away from a stop on the second arm to permit the door to be opened and/or the arms to be stored next to one another.
