Which of the following components helps stop a door from swinging beyond its intended closed position?

1. A:Installing hollow wood doors for exterior use.

2. B:Replacing exterior fibreglass doors with wooden doors.

3. C:Using a left or right vertical door sill.

4. D:Attaching a door stop to the door frame.

5. E:Replacing door hinges.

6. F:Adjusting the door knob position.

The correct answer is: D:Attaching a door stop to the door frame.

The component that effectively stops a door from swinging beyond its intended closed position is the door stop. Attaching a door stop to the door frame provides a physical barrier that limits the movement of the door, preventing it from banging against the wall or swinging too far open. Door stops come in various forms, including decorative ones, wall-mounted styles, and those that are affixed to the door itself. In contrast, the other options focus on aspects related to the construction or materials of doors rather than their functionality in terms of stopping movement. While installing hollow wood doors or replacing fibreglass doors with wooden ones may affect durability and insulation, they do not address the issue of controlling the swing of the door. Similarly, vertical door sills primarily relate to drainage and sealing rather than controlling a door's swing. Replacing door hinges and adjusting the door knob position can improve alignment and operation but do not inherently offer a solution for stopping a door's swing.
