Description
Wedge-it Temporary Door Stop
The WEDGE-IT is a compact door stop that was designed by Emergency Service Personnel to hold doors open to a 90-degree angle. The Wedge-It can be placed in any of 3-different locations (top, middle or bottom) of a door.
Made in the U.S.A from 100% recycled plastic. It has been adopted by many trades, professions, disciplines and crafts because of its convenience and ease of use.
How it Works:
The Wedge-It is designed to hold an interior or exterior door open to a 90-degree angle. It can be placed in any of 3 locations on a door:
Top of the Door Over the Hinge Bottom of the Door
Locations on the Door
Top of the Door
With door open to a 90 degree angle place the Wedge-It on top of the door between door and door jamb.
The Wedge-It is designed with 4 different settings to fit between the top of the door and the door jamb (see below). This is because that distance varies between doors.
With door open to a 90 degree angle place the Wedge-It over hinge between the door and the door jamb.
On The Floor
The Wedge-It can be used rubber pad side down on the floor like a traditional wooden or rubber door stop.
Bottom of Doors with Larger gap
If the gap at the bottom of the door is greater than 2 inches, placement of the Wedge-It in a vertical position could / would hold the door open.
*Placement and success of the Wedge-It doorstop is dependent upon the door.
Holding a Door open at any angle
One Wedge-It can be placed at the end of the door or 2 Wedge-Its can be placed on either side of the door to keep it open at varying angles.
*This placement and success of the Wedge-It is dependent upon the door.

Improvements to the Wedge-It
The Wedge-It has been redesigned to incorporate a few improvements.
- Rubber is now molded on to the Polycarbonate plastic body so it will never come off.
- The strategically placed hole is now larger which makes it easier for the attachment to safety coats, vests, belt loops, trauma kits, tool boxes and countless other individual applications.
- There are now two rubber pads where the Wedge-It comes in contact with the back of the door and doorjamb when placed over the hinge. This will prevent any chipped paint or indentations on wooden doors and jambs.
