Reciprocally telescoping door stop

A method of stopping a door, comprising:

• a) obtaining a door stop including:
• i) a base configured to couple to a support surface;
• ii) a first tubular member having a first tubular member closed end opposite a flangeless first tubular member open end, said first tubular member coupled to said base;
• iii) a second tubular member having a flangeless second tubular member closed end including a pass through aperture, said second tubular member reciprocally telescopically engaged within said first tubular member, wherein said second tubular member is movable with respect to said base;
• iv) a springing element disposed within said first tubular member between said first tubular member closed end and said second tubular member closed end;
• and
• v) a catch element, comprising:
• an elongate member fixedly coupled to said base, said elongate member having opposed first and second ends, said second end coupled to said first tubular member closed end of said first tubular member, said elongate member disposed axially within said first tubular member and extending through said pass through aperture of said second tubular member to dispose said first end within said second tubular member;
• a catch part coupled to said first end of said elongate member, said catch part configured to engage said second tubular member closed end to limit outward travel of said second tubular member in relation to said first tubular member;
• and
• b) positioning an outwardly extending end of said second tubular member in a travel path of said door at a location which allows said door moving in said travel path to engage said outwardly extending end of said second tubular member to generate inward travel of said second tubular member within said first tubular member, thereby sufficiently compressing said springing element to resist further movement of said door.
