If the interior door is constantly slamming under the influence of a draft, and noticeable chips from blows of the door leaf have already appeared on the walls, then it's time to think about buying a compact, but very important product - the door stop. We will talk about him in the article.
Types of Limiters
Manufacturers offer several options for the mentioned devices:
- Those that prevent the door from opening (do not allow to swing open beyond the set angle).
- Those that prevent it from slamming (the door leaf always remains ajar).
- The most convenient are considered universal door stops, capable of performing both functions, if necessary.
There is a classification according to the place of attachment. In this case, allocate:
- floor;
- wall mounted;
- overwhelming.
Let's consider them in more detail.
Wall limiters
Such products are rubberized stops that are as simple as possible in design. They serve solely to block the door from hitting the wall when opening more than 90 °. Upgraded models are equipped with a magnet that holds the door after opening in one position.
Wall door stops are convenient if the flooring does not allow them to be installed. The device is attached to the wall with self-tapping screws.
Another option is self-adhesive silicone wall linings. They are mounted at the level of the handle and gently prevent the impact of the opening door.
Floor door stops
The main difference between such a product is considered to be floor mounting. It works on the same principle as the wall, and can be issued in various forms (in the form of a column, puck, chess pawn).
The advantages of this option can be called versatility, as it is suitable for interior and exterior doors. In addition, such a door stop is not striking and does not interfere. You will have to refuse it only if there is a film underfloor heating in the room.
Temporary locks are also offered to consumers, which are put under the door, preventing its movement.
Door stop
This group includes those devices that are attached to a door or a jamb:
- Hinged stop on the “goat leg”. It is attached to the bottom of the door leaf and inhibits the opening door.
- The tape is attached to the jamb and door leaf. It is quite cheap, but its appearance is not the most elegant.
- Retractable. Very similar to a stock with a brake shoe. Vertical installation is extremely easy to use. A significant minus is mechanical control.
- Soft lining on the door. This is a very convenient, inexpensive and yet effective solution from slamming the door leaf.
As it has already become clear, door stoppers are presented in a wide variety, so before buying you should decide on the requirements and features of the operation of such a device.
