A door latch extension is attachable to a doorjamb for maintaining a door in an ajar position. The door latch extension includes a support member, an extension member, and a cover. The support member is mountable to the door jamb by a striker plate portion. The extension member is pivotally connected to the support member. The extension member is provided with a door stop member and a latch cup member. The door stop member is for supporting the door. The latch cup member has a retaining space for a door latch so that the latch cup member cooperates with the door support member to latch the door in the ajar position. The cover is selectively moved in an open position and a closed position. In the closed position, the cover selectively latchingly supports the extension member whereby the door is secured in the ajar position.
