Lots of engineering know how and planning.

?? Jor , what am I looking at.
That might have saved a few of my T shirts. Will have to copy or improve on that idea.
Oh, ok. Ya I've snagged myself on that thing a few.
This is a common reaction when one encounters really sophisticated solutions. Over the years I have many times caught my clothing or flesh on that damn entry door striker plate. A piece of rubber over it provides some protection. Amazon is probably trying to contact me right now to get in on the ground floor of the marketing scheme!

So you either have a screen door or Ya leave the door open a lot ( bugs ).
Yeah not I too have some come to the dreaded sticking it out thingamajigger on the door! Not really sure that your solution is the be-all end-all but I am definitely willing to give that a try. almost ripped a really good jacket last week on that stupid thing. The really had to be a better way of doing it
Trying to find some ball type device in the shop I can drill a hole into and push on that T shirt ripper. A bungee ball end is just a little too small.
Jor's idea will work for me! I have caps in stock
Better make mine in orange so I'll remember to take it off!
Just a little history regarding the "t-shirt ripper"
Commonly called the "Nader bolt/ pin" this piece of hardware has saved countless lives lost in automobile crashes. In the old days before seat belts and seat belt laws it was fairly common for automobile doors to fly open in a serious crash resulting in the none seatbelted occupants being ejected from the vehicle and suffering grievous injuries.
Today's vehicles are designed so that the doors stay closed during a crash keeping the occupants in the vehicle and therefore much safer.
This is also why every vehicle crash response crew carries a Hurst tool to pry the doors open in order to remove the occupants from damaged vehicles.
So I guess your ripped t-shirts are a small price to pay for the improved safety provided by that little piece of hardware.

That may be Steve but I bet you mister Nader never ripped his jacket on it or else he would have made something that didn't stick out so far. I bet something equally as effective could have been designed indented into the frame instead of projecting out of it.
Still that's an interesting tidbit of history that I didn't know.
