Abstract: A device (15) for inhibiting the movement of a closure member, such as a door (1), window or hatch, which is hingeably mounted by means of one or more hinges (3) to a frame portion defining an edge of an opening between two areas of space The device comprises: i) a compression resistive portion; and ii) a holding means (14) for holding the compression resistive portion in a radial gap formed between the closure member (2) and the frame portion (2) as the closure member (2) is moved from a closed position in an opening direction, and wherein, when positioned in the radial gap in use, the compression resistive portion (15) serves to resist movement of the closure member (2) in the closing direction.
