Abstract
A magnetic doorstop and door holder provides an aesthetically pleasing, functionally simple, and effective solution to allow homeowners to closely control an amount of force needed to maintain a door in an open position. The system is designed to work with most doors, including traditional solid doors and hollow core doors. The system involves magnetic and/or ferromagnetic materials affixed to or embedded within various entryway components, including doors, door jambs, door frames, and door hinges, and within walls and/or flooring adjacent to the entryway. The system is designed to be highly customizable to fit each homeowner's particular needs and circumstances, and adjustable based on the type of door or entryway layout and based on the homeowner's desired strength of holding and precise positioning.
