    Abstract: The present invention is a device to prevent damage to a vehicle door by sensing the presence of an object and preventing a door from being opened and contacting the sensed object. The device consists of a proximity sensor attached to the edge of a vehicle's door that sends a signal at a preset distance from any object that it could come in contact with to a control box, which converts the sensor signal into electric power which will activate a device located in the hinge area of the door that will engage a lock to stop the outward swing of the door.
