I finally cracked the doorstopper problem, introducing the world's best door-stopper! STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE !

in doorstopper •  8 years ago 

I am sure that everybody of you has some kind of ugly door-stopper.

For years i was looking for an elegant and non intrusive door-stopper. I did only find the ones you put under your door, which are annoying as they are bulky or if you need them, you can not find them. 



Here is an example of door-stoppers, if you do a google image search. Looks familiar? Yeah, everybody has some of these ugly guys in his/her house



So the problem is, you have to use a movable stopper or you have to install a huge stopping device, which i hate, as its overkill (check the last picture in the 2nd row of the google screenshot, it is not an integrated solution)

While visiting a friends house in Japan, i saw this amazing door-stopper, its a plate which is flat and there is a magnet on the door.

See for yourself:

Plate


Door Magnet

Magnet triggers Plate

Door secured !

I searched the whole web for these, as he didn't remember where he bought them. After a while i found a guy selling these (around 20$ per piece), he ships from Japan and its the very best door stopper i found (let me know if you know a better one)

Check the videos:


So i bought some of these stoppers and installed them at my parents house. They love the door-stoppers as the magnet is very strong, so it will not shut the door if the windows are open etc. 

The installation is quite simple, you just drill the screws of the plate into the ground. 15 seconds and its done. After that you drill the screws of the magnet into the door.

The whole installation will take only 2-5 minutes, and everybody can do it ! 

What do you think (leave me a comment) , i hope you liked this product introduction. Of course it is a STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE !!!

作りが面白いですね。こういったものがあること自体知りませんでした。

そうですね。これ日本人でも知っているかたすくないですね。

Breaking News: Man singlehandedly starts a permanent #Doorstopper category on SteemIt.

... Is Owner and Sole-Proprietor of Said Category for Next 50 Years.

Hi, LOL that breaking news should be a golden nugget ;)

Simplicity and functionality at their best.

yes, its so simple, but perfect.
if apple made a door stopper, this would be the product!

Impressive! we are at present using those metals in hip replacement (where theyre from is a secret ;)))) our floors are carpeted so i dont know how they are for wooden/ceramic floors,theyre quiet heavy.

Its brilliant and simple! The Japanese are fuckin brilliant as always!

Yes, amazing how simple a solution can be.

Lol I agree with @andu. Good work though.

Hey Kryptik! thanks for the vote ;) yeah, if you see it in live action, its even better than a video.. trust me

Simply ingenious. They also have the best toilets in Japan too:)

Yes the japanese have invented the very best door stopper ;)

Hey, that is great! Where can we buy?

How many do you need?

You should sell them here for Steemdollars. :-)

Good idea ! ;) You wanna buy one?

Sell for steem )

Yeah if anybody wants one, i will sell for Steem or Steem $ and ship it !

OMG, you seem to be really serious about this. :-)

That's awesome!

I'd be down for it.

This totally beats these! I hate these things.

Yes, everybody hates these ;)
Started following you!

Thanks! I'll follow you too and let you know if I want to buy a doorstop. ;)

日本語で失礼します。
いつも楽しく読ませていただいています。
ドアストッパーとはニッチな商品に目を付けましたね。

そうですね、これ日本でしか売っていないですよね。

looks pretty cool!

It is a superb solution. Everything else is bulky. So its a genius door-stopper !

If I am ever lucky enough to buy a house, I will get some of these.

Gonzo! you dont have to buy your own house. even in a rental house you could just ask the owner and install these.

I don't know but it looks very noisy if it's metal. Better put some plastic on it or some rubber, to lower the noise. It could get pretty annoying hearing the metal clash sound.

hi freddy, its a very elegant click. If you see it live in action you will love it.

Thanks for doing this amazing research on a problem that most people just deal with. This is a nice solution.

Will it work on carpet?

It depends on the carpet and if you door has enough space between the carpet, the magnet. If the magnet is placed too high, the plate wont be properly locked.

Ich gebe dir ein vote up obwohl ich noch nicht weiß ob du das ernst oder sehr sehr ernst meinst :D

I love lifehacks <3

Thanks Blackeyed !
Hope i can find some more soon ;)

Very cool :-) Upvoted :-)

Danke Schon Lichtblick! ;)

HODOR!

very useful

Yes, this is one of the products i have never seen in the world, except for Japan.
But it is perfect.
