5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the joint portion positions the first portion at a fixed angle of between 90 degrees and 180 degrees with respect to the second portion.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the joint portion positions the first portion at a fixed angle of 135 degrees with respect to the second portion.

7 . The device of claim 1 wherein the body has a top surface defined by a top surface of the first portion, a top surface of the second portion, and a top surface of the joint portion.

8 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the first member and the second member extend from the first portion perpendicularly to the top surface of the body, and the recess formed between the first member and the second member is configured to receive a top edge of the door of the electrical enclosure.

9 . The device of claim 8 , wherein the first member further comprises a retention lip extending perpendicularly from the first member and parallel to the top surface of the body.

10 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the third member extends from the joint portion perpendicularly to the top surface of the body.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the third member further comprises a protrusion extending perpendicularly from the third member and parallel to the top surface of the body.

12 . The device of claim 7 , wherein a fourth member extends from the joint portion and is perpendicular to the top surface of the body.

13 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the body is 3-D printed.

14 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the body is injection molded.

15 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the body is comprised of a polymeric material.

16 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the securing mechanism comprises a pin and an aperture in the body configured to receive the pin.

17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the pin is a detent pin.

18 . A removable door stabilizer device for holding a door of an electrical enclosure in a fixed open position relative to the electrical enclosure, the device comprising:

a body, the body comprised of:

a first portion having a first member and a second member extending in parallel from the first portion, the first member and the second member forming a recess therebetween to receive the door of the electrical enclosure;

a second portion having a slot defined by a first projection and a second projection extending in parallel from the second portion, the slot positioned to receive an edge of the electrical enclosure; and

a joint portion connecting the first portion and the second portion at an angle and having a third member extending from the joint portion and configured to be positioned between the electrical enclosure and the door of the electrical enclosure; and

a securing mechanism, the securing mechanism comprised of:

a fastener; and

an aperture in the body configured to receive the fastener,

wherein the securing mechanism is positioned at an end of the second portion distal to the joint portion and the securing mechanism is configured such that the aperture engages the fastener, the fastener extends through the aperture, and the fastener and the body apply a clamping force on the electrical enclosure to removably secure the body to the electrical enclosure, and

wherein the body is a unitary structure of one-piece construction comprised of a single piece of material.

19 . A removable door stabilizer device for holding a door of an enclosure in a fixed open position relative to the enclosure, the device comprising:

a body having a recess defined by a first member and a second member extending in parallel from the body to receive the door, a slot defined by a first projection and a second projection extending in parallel from the body, the slot positioned perpendicularly with respect to the recess to receive a portion of the enclosure, the body further having a third member configured to be positioned between the door and the enclosure; and

a securing mechanism configured to apply a clamping force between the body and the enclosure to removably secure the body to the enclosure,

wherein the device is configured to secure the door in an open position at an angle with respect to the enclosure, and

wherein the body is a unitary structure.
