Patent attributes
A door hook including a U-shaped bracket having a top member and a front side and back side attached to the top member. The front and back sides are separated by a first distance, which corresponds generally to the thickness of a door over which the door hook is to be placed. A hook is attached to the front side, while a spacer portion is attached to the back side or top. A frangible joint is formed in the back side or top such that the spacer portion can be detached and then reattached to the back side. With the spacer portion in this reattached position the spacer portion and the front side are separated by a second distance, different from and typically less than the first-distance. The second distance corresponds generally to the thickness of a thinner or thicker door, over which the door hook may be placed after removal or removal and reattachment of the spacer. In this manner, the door hook may be easily adjusted to fit over doors having different thickness, such as, for example, exterior doors and interior doors. In an alternative embodiment the spacer portion is positioned to fit over a thinner door with the spacer portion in place and over a thicker door when the spacer portion is removed.
