A device for securing or stopping a door relative to a stationary structure by means of magnetic attraction. In a secured position, a tilt element engages a counter-element due to magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element, and the door is stopped and optionally fixed in place, while in a retracted position the tilt element is retracted and the door can be moved. The tilt element includes a cover plate made of non-magnetic solid material and can be installed both on the stationary structure, such as the floor, wall or ceiling, or in the door.
