These restraints hang over the top of a closed door. They are 2" wide and measure about 12 inches long.

One end of the restraint wraps around a 3/4 inch thick wooden dowel. The other end could be made with a spring snap, trigger snap, or, a 1 inch "D" ring for use with rope.

These restraints are meant to be used on "solid" doors up to 2½ inches thick, and, not the hollow-core doors typically found in the interior of a house or apartment.

We found two problems with this design when we tested them. First, the two thicknesses of leather are too thick for the typical gap at the top of a door. Secondly, a doorway typically has "lip" or "reveal" as a way to stop the door (preventing it from being a swinging door). This made it difficult to adequately position these restraints.
