How to choose the right door stop
Door stops prevent the door from slamming against the wall when opened, preventing damage to walls, doors and skirting boards. Some doorstops also keep the door open to allow traffic to move in and out of the room freely. So, which one is right for your door? To choose the right door stop for your door, we recommend that you consider usage, installation, materials and finishes. If it's in a commercial location, we would of course recommend that you use a door closer. Do you want a doorstop to keep your door open or prevent it from denting the wall behind? Depending on your desired purpose, if you want to keep the door open, a door wedge will be ideal, while if you want to limit how far the door can open, either a wall-mounted doorstop or a floor-mounted doorstop will do the trick.
●under the door
Door wedges do not require any installation. These are simple and straightforward wedges that limit movement under doors. This includes preventing the door from swinging shut and keeping the door closed by holding it in place.
●on the wall
Wall-mounted doorstops, also known as skirting doorstops, are usually mounted on a skirting board, usually two inches from the floor. These can also be mounted on the door itself.
●on the ground
As the name suggests, a floor mounted doorstop or floor doorstop is installed on the floor. These can be placed close to the outer edge of the door when open. To minimize the force on the door hinge, place the door stop approximately two-thirds of the way from the hinge.
●correct material
Doorstops can be made from a variety of materials, including rubber, plastic, metal, and even wood. Consider the type of flooring you have, the amount of traffic in and out of the room, the weight of the door, and any other factors that might affect the doorstop. Then, choose the right material for your needs
●Balance function and beauty
Doorstops are not only functional, they are also highly decorative. By finding the right style and finish, you can match your doorstop with other door furniture and complement your home style.
