ABSTRACT:
A doorstop including an elongated shaft slidably and rotatably received within a receptacle seated in a floor proximal a door. The shaft extends vertically from the receptacle and has a cross-member integrally connected thereto and extending therefrom in opposing lateral directions such that the door, when opened toward the shaft, will contact the cross-member and rotate the cross-member into planar contact with the door. Thus, the movement of the door will be limited by the shaft and laterally extending cross-member. A rigid plate may be connected to the door to protect the door from damage from the cross-member and shaft and, further, to distribute the force placed on the door over a larger surface area thereof.
