Abstract
A magnetic door stop and catch has a helically coiled spring mounted on a base board or wall through which a flexible cable extends to hold a swivel mounted magnet at the end of the spring. The magnet is pivotly mounted at the swivel which allows 360 degrees rotation and deflection of the magnet in all directions as the magnet engages a magnetically attractable strike plate mounted to a door opposite the door stop.
