A door holder, includes a retainer housing (), which can be connected either to a door or a door frame, and a door retainer rod, which penetrates the retainer housing () and which can be articulated to the other of the door and the door frame The door retainer rod has at least one braking surface, and at least one braking element () that can be displaced toward the at least one braking surface is arranged on the retainer housing (), which the braking element can be brought in contact with the at least one braking surface of the door retainer rod at least in some sections and thus produces a primary braking force component against the displacement of the door retainer rod, wherein the door retainer rod has at least one guiding surface, which is inclined with respect to the braking surface. A door holder that provides high holding forces at least in some sections is created in that at least one guiding element () is arranged on the retainer housing (), which the guiding element can be brought in contact with the at least one guiding surface at least in some regions and produces a secondary braking force component against the displacement of the door retainer rod.

Door holder

The door check includes a retaining bar () which can be connected to one of the two door assembly parts, i.e. the door () or the door frame (), and a retaining housing () which can be connected to the other door assembly part. In order to design a door check that allows a vehicle door to be reliably and safely blocked in an automated manner, a threaded bar () can be accommodated in an axially movable fashion in a cavity of the retaining bar ().
