Device to slow or stop a door from opening

A device for slowing or stopping a door from opening or moving, the device comprising:

• a base configured to be attached to the door, the base including a magnet mounted thereto, the base comprising:
• a block with a rear face, a front face, two side faces, and two angled side faces,
• wherein:
• the rear face is designed to be positioned against a surface of the door;
• the front face is opposite the rear face;
• and
• the base has a cut out in a bottom portion thereof between the two angled side faces;
• a pin extends through the angled side faces and the cut out;
• and
• a spring-loaded blade hingeably attached to a bottom portion of the base, the spring-loaded blade comprising a proximal flat end and a distal pointed end,
• wherein:
• the cut out has a width sufficient to accommodate placement of the proximal flat end of the blade therein;
• the blade is rotatably mounted to the pin;
• the blade is configured to pivot from a first closed orientation to a second deployed configuration;
• when the blade is in the first closed orientation the blade is engaged with the magnet on the base;
• when the blade is in the second deployed configuration, the blade is disengaged from the magnet and the distal pointed end is pointing at an angle downward from the base;
• a back surface of the blade has a pair of protrusions extending therefrom, each protrusion of the pair of protrusions including a protrusion channel extending therethrough, the protrusion channels being sized to encircle the pin;
• and
• a torsion spring is positioned on the pin between the pair of protrusions;
• and
• the torsion spring is configured to push the blade outwards.
