191,000 hits for ‘door jam’
Including some from a home improvement sites/specialists such as this one (link) that uses it as the page heading and url
and others from non-specialists such as this one (link)
as one word ‘doorjam’ gets 13,600 hits but many don’t refer to the fixture.
tho one page dedicated to patents mentions “a simple doorjam mechanism.” (link)
