Door knob rubber sweep
The downside to fabricating a
door
frame with a stopping
plate is allowing for enough room for your hand to grip the knob
without banging it against the frame when you pull it closed.
I decided to solve this
problem with a small section of a rubber door sweep. It blocks the gap
nicely while providing a smooth and soft surface for any close calls
that might happen.

I can't tell how this works without a doorstop from the photos.

It's got a doorstop, just a homemade one. The door butts up against a two by four cut in half (I guess that's a 2 by 2. 
)

2x2?
It's still a 2x4.....just not a full length 8ft long piece. I used a scrap piece because we needed the space for the knob.
