Claim Text:
1. A method for creating a customized apparatus for holding a door closed, comprising; comparing a physical door hydraulic piston to two or more diagrammatic configurations to determine which of two or more computer aided design templates to use in fabrication; measuring a straight arm of the physical door hydraulic piston to produce a measurement M 1 ; measuring from an outside edge of the straight arm to an outside edge of an angled arm of the hydraulic piston to produce a measurement M 2 ; measuring a width of a pivot point of the hydraulic piston to produce a measurement M 3 ; measuring a collective height of the straight arm and the angled arm to produce a measurement M 4 ; selecting one of the templates from the two or more templates based on the comparing step; entering measurements M 1 , M 2 , M 3 and M 4 into the selected template to produce fabrication specifications; based on the fabrication specifications, fabricating a customized apparatus for holding a door closed, comprising: a top panel; a left wall; a right wall; a flap attached to the left wall opposite the top panel and folded under the apparatus; a flap attached to the right wall opposite the top panel and folded under the apparatus; a front end; a back end; and an opening at the front end that has a larger cross section than a cross section of the back end thereby providing for a tapered shape of the apparatus overall, such that the apparatus is configured to fit over two hinged arms of a door closing system, preventing the arms from articulating open to prevent the door from opening.
