That is brilliant! Often wondered why people use chains on the inside. They can’t stop a burglar anyway. The door jammer or door stopper looks a lot more efficient!

In reply to Juno Mars. For the same reason a furniture mover might - to prop open a self closing door while you maneuver a desk or a stretcher through it.

Why would a “first responder” carry the Wedge-It…false advertising.

In reply to Desmond. LOL Desmond can take 2 9mm to the chest followed by 1 to the head and not only keep shooting, but it wont even slow him down.. Me and him should team up, I can hold my breathe for like 3 min lol deuche I use JHP anyways =p

I would tie this to my line that trips the standing floor lamp where I have altered with hollowed it out filling it with gun powder..put this will be only my last resort. I might just use a 2×4 or a chair is a better choice. with persistence in a short span of time someone will get in with a stopper, but we can make up our own minds…just advice.

a door wedge is a great idea but most doors will break if kicked once or twice i say keep the 9mm close at hand i even have one in the bathroom

good idea, here are a couple of other ideas as well. If it is your home you are in drill a couple small holes 5/16 or 3/8 into or through floor one about 1 1/2 inches and one aobut 2 1/2 inches. a heavy duty screwdriver can be insrted into hole to keep the door from opening second hole is to check for a friendly if you dont have peep hole. Another is to use a brace at door knob most entrie are made at this point snd even usind a wedge or screwdrive will allow door to be forced if used alone.

Basic carpentry tools could prove valuable as well. Not only good to make your own “door” with, but modify materials into equipment,and build better, stronger shelter.
