ABSTRACT:
A plate that is attached to a shaft to remove a door closer from the door completely. A door holder is used to set the plate in an "open" position, out of the way of the door. Once the plate is in the open position, the door is free to open and close without any force on it at all. If there is an emergency, the door holder releases the plate. The door closer then moves the plate against the door and closes the door. Once the door is closed, the plate can be reset by opening the door until the door holder is again engaged. In this way, people can operate the door without exertion while they are protected from emergencies.
