As Michael says, this could be a drop bolt or Stainless steel Door locking device, Door stopper or Ground door stopper but if I had to translate the source text above I would stick to "Door stop (a stainless steel pin)"

@Greg: I think it might rather be one of these: https://www.sloterop.nl/dictator-deurvastzetter-ze-90-9-slag... + https://www.dictator.nl/engels/freze.htm

i.e. a bolt-style foot operated door holder
Michael Beijer Jul 25, 2019:
drop bolt? I think the ‘valpen’ itself might be called a ‘drop bolt’.
so:

Deurvastzetter (RVS valpen) =
Door holder (stainless steel drop bolt)
Michael Beijer Jul 25, 2019:
the ‘deurvastzetter’ is one of these: https://www.manomano.co.uk/p/stainless-steel-door-locking-de...

the ‘RVS valpen’ is the stainless steel pin that drops down to secure the door
Michael Beijer Jul 25, 2019:
from memory, this is a ‘detent pin’ will have a look once I am at my computer again

Steel pin

This is a steel pin that drops into a hole in the ground surface or bottom part of a door frame to hold the door in position. It often has a ring at the top for attaching a chain, so that it does not get lost.
