A door block comprising:
- a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, an interior surface, and an exterior surface, the body defined by:
- a middle portion having a substantially “U” shape and a uniform thickness;
- a left extension extending from a left side of the middle portion, the left extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the left extension;
- and
- a right extension extending from a right side of the middle portion, the right extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the right extension;
- and
- wherein (i) each of the distal ends of the left extension and the right extension taper from the exterior surface to the interior surface of the body defining a funnel for indexing the door block with a door;
- and (ii) the door block is adapted to engage one of a bottom, a side, a top, and a hinge of the door to stop the door from fully closing.

A door block comprising:
- a substantially egg shaped “U” shaped body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a middle section between the top surface and bottom surface having a varying thickness, the body defined by:
- a middle portion having a uniform thickness;
- a left extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the left extension;
- and
- a right extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the right extension;
- wherein (i) each of the distal ends of the left extension and the right extension taper from an exterior of the distal end to an interior of the distal end defining a funnel for indexing the door block with a door;
- and (ii) the door block is adapted to engage one of a bottom, a side, a top, and a hinge of the door to stop the door from fully closing.

A door block comprising:
- a body having a top surface, a bottom surface, an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a plurality of trusses located between the interior surface and exterior surface, the body defined by:
- a middle portion having a substantially “U” shape and a uniform thickness;
- a left extension extending from a left side of the middle portion, the left extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the left extension;
- and
- a right extension extending from a right side of the middle portion, the right extension having a uniform width tapering down from proximate the middle portion to a distal end of the right extension;
- wherein (i) each of the distal ends of the left extension and the right extension taper from an exterior of the distal end to an interior of the distal end defining a funnel for indexing the door block with a door;
- and (ii) the door block is adapted to engage one of a bottom, a side, a top, and a hinge of the door to stop the door from fully closing.
