DETROIT—Free to produce generic versions of the product after DoorBlocker’s 20-year patent ran out last month, hundreds of businesses have begun distributing cheap, off-brand doorstops to retail outlets nationwide, industry analysts confirmed Tuesday. “Now that anyone can manufacture a doorstop without fear of legal challenges from the DoorBlocker company, we can expect the market to be flooded with tons of these low-cost knockoffs of the original door-impeding device,” said market researcher Paul Holbloom, naming brands like DoorHalt, SwingLock, PropStop, and Wedge as being among those that have gone on sale in just the past few weeks. “It’s likely DoorBlocker will keep some of its most loyal customers, but I expect that in the future we’ll see many opting for doorstops that are more economical and less of a status symbol.” Holbloom added that the expiration of DoorBlocker’s patent would have no effect on the sizable segment of the market that has always held their doors open with bricks or shoes.

Because China is on the other side of the world their doors are upside down and open backwards, so flip them over and they’ll work just fine.........maybe sorta.

I have actually used the one in the picture (the larger one) and they are in fact terrible.

What is that Soros up to now? Did Obama bring them from Kenya? Is Bernie going to give them away for free? Will Warren break the Chinese factory making them? Are AOC and Omar behind this? Will they stop Mexicans? Isn't doorstop an Arabic word? ASK THE REAL QUESTIONS! MAGA!

Got mine.

You can tell by the use of “Door Stop” rather than “DoorBlocker” logos that those will easily cause dozens of door closing accidents for its user.

Can’t someone put a stop to this?

Ah, Onion! You still got it.

not here in Britain, only British doorsteps handcrafted in Yorkshire, thanks to Brexit

And what irony that just a few miles from DoorBlocker's Detroit headquarters, a man had been using Meteorite brand for years.😯

These are inferior products, from unknown manufacturers in the spooky orient. DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR OR USE ONE OF THESE FOR PARTS RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY/ELECTRICAL FIRE

I cut a wedge out of wood. Easy enough.
