Claims11
A door clamping device comprising:
- a stop having a width dimensioned to fit under a closed door such that the stop can be slid from an inner side of the door, under the door, and past an outer side of the door when positioned horizontally and the stop having a length adapted to extend along a surface of the door when the stop is positioned vertically so that the stop is positionable to abut the outer side of the door;
- a base having a first end and a second end, the first end fixedly attached to the stop, the base having a cross-section that, at its widest diameter, fits under the closed door and rotates under the closed door;
- a jamb bracket fixedly attached to the second end of the base and dimensioned such that the jamb bracket extends along a surface of a door frame adjacent the inner side of the closed door when the stop is positioned vertically;
- and
- a fastener coupled to the jamb bracket to extend into a fastener hole in a floor adjacent the door when the jamb bracket is adjacent the door frame.
