Summary: Learn how to install a door stop.
A doorstop is used to prevent a door from swinging open. When first nailing the lengths of doorstop to the door lining, only knock them in enough to hold the doorstop in place so as to allow for alterations to be made later.
Draw a line around the door lining where the door meets it.
Fix the doorstop to the hinge side first, nailing it slightly back from the guideline.
Position the doorstop on the other side of the lining exactly over the guideline.
