My dad uses water filled milk jugs to prop the door open in their hi rise balcony
It gets pretty windy up here

Big Doorstop isn't gonna like this...
But their lawyers are gonna love it!
I wouldn't underestimate Big Milk Jug's lawyers though.
That's true. I definitely don't want to mess with big dairy. I heard their henchmen are literal bulls.
It works
i use big coffee jars filled with loose change to hold my bedroom door open for ventilation, one on either side like how yer old man does it, with the window open the wind gets so strong it slams my door shut.
engineering at its finest.
It's a free solution, also upcycling. Props to the man.
Props for the door too.
I wish I had an award for you! Lol
I have a couple of concrete blocks that get the job done
It works and is cheap 🤷♀️
Reduce reuse recycle In that order so I’m all for it.
Never seen a milk jug like that before but they sure look easier to stack than their American counterparts!
Costco size jugs in Bellevue!
Sam's Club uses similar
Costco uses this style, but yeah I have never seen one in a "normal" grocery store.
Costco. Square jugs are much easier to palletize and ship.
Does your Dad drive a Western Star rig?
For wind gust
Yeah at work we use a bucket filled with rocks
It's such a common problem, it seems like door manufacturers would have come up with a more elegant solution by now. I can imagine two that would work right off the bat.
I use a wedge for my bedroom door. Works aight.
If it works well it's a fix. Might be unconventional but for this I see a win.
He needs another jug.
It's a three day supply of water that should be kept on hand for emergencies.
Lol i didnt think to take a pic of the guest bathroom tub. Also he installed shutoff valves in the plumbing everywhere. Dude is ready.
I use a 5 pounds dumbbell for various doors when it's windy. I mean, if it works and it's cheap...
all fun and games until you accidentally kick the dumbbell. (yes i’m clumsy)
It's kind of small, covered in bright pink foam (my fiancée Yoga dumbbell) and we always let the door completely open, so not in the way at all...and yes, I'm severly ADHD and 250 pounds, so I always bump into things...but not this one...
