The Perfect Doorstop

Need a doorstop that will have a dual purpose? This stainless steel modern doorstop is not only stylish, but you won't have to worry about attaching anything to the wall or bottom of the door. This is as big as a hockey puck and just as heavy to prevent sliding or unwanted opening or closing of the door.
