ABSTRACT:
According to the invention there is provided a security device for removable attachment to the bottom edge portion of a door to securely lock the door in a desired position. The device has a J-shaped bracket which confronts both sides of the door and extends underneath the door. An over-center linkage connected to a plunger and controlled by a handle provides a downward clamping effect engaging the floor surface. The plunger has an adjustable foot to accommodate various spacings between the door and floor surface. A supplemental sleeve on the plunger and a support post extending outwardly from the J-shaped bracket provides improved strength to the device.
