ABSTRACT:
The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a door stop assembly for a bidirectional swinging door to permit opening the door in a first direction during normal use and to permit selective opening of the door in a second direction during an emergency. The stop is employed in an assembly which includes a face or strike plate having an opening for receipt of a strike member, a housing formed on one side thereof, all adapted to be set in a mortise of a door frame. The door stop assembly has a depressible body or stop member which preferably, but not necessarily, is of the free floating type which moves linearly inwardly into the housing and then engages the back wall thereof and rocks about a sloping inclined surface of the body portion so that the stop engaging surface of the stop assembly is displaced from engagement with the door, thereby permitting the door to be opened in the opposite direction of its normal use. The stop member includes an adjustably mounted member which may be employed to accommodate wear, misalignment upon initial installation, or warping of the door subsequent to installation.
