A safety device for hinged doors comprising a spring loaded wedge shaped stopper means. A bracket including a flat rectangular plate is attached to the front face along the edge near the hinge side of a hinged door at a sufficient height and out of reach from small children, by adhesive or other fastening means. A pair of opposing hinge walls are mounted orthogonally at the extremities on the front face of the rectangular plate. Said stopper means is hingedly attached to the rectangular plate by means of a hinge pin and a restoring spring. When the spring is not loaded, said stopper means is positioned naturally in an obtrusive manner in the front face gap near the hinge side created by the opening and closing of the hinged door, thereby preventing a partially opened door from being shut by small children who can accidently insert their fingers or other body parts into said gap. An adult desiring to close the door can do so by gently rotating the stopper about the hinge pin against the restoring spring, and away from said gap.
