door stop Explanation: I think door stop is fine. While I have never heard the term Türweiche, your explaining it, made me look it up. It seems that anytime you want to stop a door from sliding down, you need to buy a door stop. http://www.bizrate.com/homehardware/oid691195439__nwylf--.ht... "ACE" LOCKING KICK DOWN DOOR STOP Bright brass For hinged or sliding doors Foot operated to hold open or lock References National# 183-632 Clamshell Discovery ACC, HWU -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2007-12-20 11:15:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- that's what I thought, too, until I checked what to use to stop a door from sliding down and it was the same term over and over which popped up?! I definitely would ask the client what he or she thinks. There are some door stoppers which you screw into the door jam -- horizontally -- I cannot even find the term Türweiche in any of my books. I guess it means the Tür soll weichen Good luck and a great day, Lis |
