<p>I was wondering whether or not a door stopper is necessary if I want to keep my dorm room open–more specifically in Dickson. Is the door equipped with the ability to be “locked” open, or do you actually need to put a stopper under it? And if so, do rubber stoppers work ok with the carpeting?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I do have some experience with Dickson since I visited it a couple of times, and with door stoppers and other dorms.
I don’t think Dickson is slanted on the slope, so the door most likely won’t close shut, like the other dorms on North. The doors are basically stationary.</p>
<p>Make sure you’re doorway is NOT sloped down meaning that the hallway outside and the floor inside is not on the same level. 'Cause that makes a doorstop useless. I had encountered that in my previous dorm.
Rubber stoppers work fine with carpeting.</p>
<p>Thanks! I picked up one just in case.</p>
