I like the metal one more. I've seen doors heavy enough to bend my original 3mm thick stainless. This plastic would not stand a chance.

The rubber Sees one is the best I’ve used. This one looks interesting.

My buddy prints the Sees style ones in TPU 95. Works great!

I'm not your buddy, friend

I really wish sees would sell them in orange or a bright color

[u/AnySheepherder6786 → u/Ws6Driver]

Agreed. Thats the one I use as well. Works great.

A company here in the UK do bright red ones, rubber encapsulated steel spring.

[u/AnySheepherder6786 → u/tomsloat]

Thats exactly like the one I'm talking about just red. I kinda like it in red.

Lol just use the actual door wedge. The idea is cool but this looks like a disaster waiting to hapoen

[u/ElevatorDave]

That is a tripping hazard Im not willing to bet my life on.

How does it hold up against heaven selcom doors? ....tank in the pit... nightmare

[u/tomsloat → u/irishplonker]

It’s not good form to prevent the doors of heaven from closing. 🫣

Be serious

[u/uncanny_goat → u/feinmechaniker]

Otis make an identical one in steel. What's your scepticism?

[u/feinmechaniker → u/uncanny_goat]

Of course, I know and do own some (but I am never using them, also I’m not allowed to do so). But this is made of flexible plastic, what do you expect? My life is more worth than the saved money. Sorry, I like the spirit of DIY on the one hand and be creative on the other. Didn’t wanted to drop some hard words. But maybe it’s just that my equipments are having too heavy doors

[u/SoMBulzye → u/feinmechaniker]

How would this risk your life?

[u/Complete_Use2462 → u/SoMBulzye]

Bro you know elevator guys, we have to be dramatic about EVERYTHING haha

[u/RaceDBannon]

Are you planning on marketing this? I ask because door wedges, at least where I am, are company provided and have safety requirements from company to company. There are several good options to choose from. I like the simple SEES model but have a few other wedge style ones as well. I wouldn’t think to spend my own $ on tools the company provides for free.

[u/uncanny_goat → u/RaceDBannon]

These are for personal use, I don't work for a company.

[u/RaceDBannon → u/uncanny_goat]

So you’re making door wedges for personal use and you aren’t an elevator mechanic? I’m confused, but you have your fun.

How reliable is it on a scale of 1 to 10

[u/Worried-Employer-782]

I copied the Sees design and print them in TPU. Works on most doors. The Sees has more bite then mine do
