Product Specification Sheet
The Door Butler doorstop™
Product Overview
The Door Butler doorstop™ is a patented, American-made housekeeping tool engineered for the daily demands of hotel guest room operations. It consists of a soft neoprene bag that holds doors securely open on any clean, dry surface—including tile, hardwood, marble, or carpet—without causing damage to doors, floors, or hinges.
A durable cord connects the bag to a soft wooden ball knocker, which serves a dual purpose: it allows room attendants to gently announce their presence before entering a guest room, and it hangs over the door knob for instant retrieval, eliminating the need to bend down at any point during use. Compact enough to fit in a uniform pocket, The Door Butler doorstop™ is built for speed, safety, and professionalism.
How It Works
The Door Butler doorstop™ uses a simple, three-step workflow designed to eliminate bending entirely:
-
Knock — The soft wooden ball knocker allows the room attendant to gently announce their presence before entering, maintaining guest courtesy and professionalism.
-
Drop — The neoprene bag is dropped to the floor at the base of the door. No bending, no placement — gravity does the work.
-
Hang — The wooden knocker is placed over the door knob, keeping the cord and bag accessible for instant retrieval when the room turn is complete.
Why it Holds
The doorstop's recycled polypropylene pellet core delivers a controlled compressive response. As the door applies pressure, the material compresses slightly, increasing surface contact and friction. The result is a grip that strengthens under load — holding the door securely open without adhesives, wedges, or damage to floors or door bases. Designed to maintain secure door positioning through a balance of material compression and surface friction, it is suitable for use with all NFPA 80–compliant guest room doors.
