FF: DIY Dogging

I saw this creative Fixed-it Friday dogging device when I was passing by a bar in a strip mall, and it reminded me of a much less elegant version of the dogging device that is very common in Cracker Barrel restaurants.

Considering the number of panics I’ve seen with velcro straps, zip ties, pins, clamps, and even more creative dogging methods, maybe there’s a new product idea here?

    Interested in knowing how many inspectors have an issue with, and why, propping an exit door to the outside open? I have reservations from a firefighting standpoint, but from an egress standpoint?

    Someone should come up with an idea for a hex dogging key. Oh wait…

    And always remember there’s never going to be something acceptable to manually dogging a device on a fire rated door.

    It looks like it could be a fire door.

    “Must be 21 to use this exit door” ?
