ABSTRACT:
A door security system has a floor contacting foot pivoted on a prop, itself pivoted on a locking system attached to a door support. A bracket with opposed spaced apart face walls joined by edge wall to receive a door corner may be used to attach the door support. A hand releasable locking system has saw teeth engaging saw teeth on the door support. Prop mountings on both foot and locking system restrict the floor prop angle, which may be from 60.degree. to 70.degree., and conveniently 65.degree. to 70.degree., especially 69.degree.. The device may be installed permanently or temporarily, on a door, it is far more effective than a door chain. A ratchet may be incorporated to tighten the prop, and a release lever to `break` the prop. A floor plate with a hole may be used to fix the foot to the floor by a pin passing through a similar hole in the foot.
