The other use of springy door stops - and we're not talking about that satisfying twanging noise they make

If you've got one of those springy door stops in your home, there is another use they can be put to. It's not just all about protecting your paintwork from dents and scratches caused by door handles.

People's minds have been blown after a TikTok video showed that they have another use. And its not just for making that wonderful twanging vibrating noise that we all enjoyed as children.

MirrorOnline reports that they can also be used to keep doors open. The hack was put on TikTok by user @the_artful_odds and people have said their minds have been blown by the information, wondering how they had never thought of it before.

She wrote: "If you have one of these behind your door. And you need it to stay open. Simply place it underneath. You're welcome."

MommaDuke5 said: "I knew there was a reason why it was springy." House Machine said: "I wish I knew this before I was in my 30s."

PatriotsDiva wrote: "I was today years old, when I learned this." JunkYard Dad said: "Mind Blown."

But Ymmnschiz said: "I take those off and throw them in trash." And xXK4FBEASTXx said: "My foot's too big."

The post has received 1.5 million views and almost 1,000 comments from people who definitely learned something new on the day they watched it.
