Funky Hold Open

Human Ingenuity at its best

Posted:  Mar 28, 2018
We like to take pictures of hardware "in the wild" for the blog, and this application was just too good to pass by.

Seen here is a unique solution to a "hold open" for a door.  Take a close look - it's a toilet plunger!  It's suction cup abilities would certainly hold open a door.  We even joked that it may be appropriate in fire-rated applications as it would melt and allow positive latching in case of a fire.  

Of course, we can't condone this sort of hardware installation, but we can certainly share it for entertainment purposes.
