Doorstops 

Where do you fit a doorstop?

Doorstops can be fitted in different places, depending on their type and the purpose they are intended to serve:

  • Floor door stoppers: Are usually mounted on or at the floor at a distance from the door that prevents the door from opening too far and damaging walls, furniture or itself. The exact positioning depends on the opening direction and the opening angle of the door.
  • Wall-mounted door stoppers: are located on the wall behind the door and are positioned in such a way that they catch the door knob or door edge before it can touch the wall. They are often fitted at the same height as the door knob or slightly lower.
  • Door handle stopper: A special form of wall stopper that is fitted directly around or behind the door handle to prevent the handle from hitting the wall.
  • Door handle bumpers or stoppers: Are attached to the door handle itself to prevent the handle from touching the wall.

The ideal positioning depends on the specific situation and should be chosen so that the stopper effectively prevents damage without unnecessarily restricting freedom of movement in the room.

What is the difference between a door stopper and a door check?

The main difference between door stoppers and door holders lies in their function:

  • Doorstops are designed to prevent a door from hitting a wall or piece of furniture in an uncontrolled manner. They serve as a physical barrier that limits the door's range of movement without necessarily fixing it in an open position. Doorstops can be flexible or permanently installed and vary in shape and material.

  • Door stops, on the other hand, have the specific function of locking a door in an open position. This is particularly useful to provide ventilation, facilitate passage or simply to ensure that the door does not close by itself. Doorstops can include mechanical components such as springs, wedges or latches that allow the door to be locked in the desired position.

So while door stoppers are mainly intended to prevent damage, door holders also offer the option of securing doors in a specific position. Both aids complement each other in their functions and help to optimize the use of doors in living and working environments.
