FAQs
Does this door stop come with everything I need to install it?
Yes, the door stop includes the necessary fixings for installation. However, ensure you have the correct drill bits and potentially additional anchors suitable for your specific floor material if needed.
What is the main purpose of this door stop?
Its primary purpose is to prevent doors from swinging too far and causing damage to walls, skirting boards, or the door itself.
Is this door stop suitable for all types of floors?
It is designed for most common floor types, but its effectiveness and secure installation depend on using the correct fixings for your specific floor material (e.g., wood, tile, concrete).
How do I clean the brass door stop?
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Brass polish can be used if tarnishing occurs.
What are the dimensions of the door stop?
Specific dimensions can be found on the product packaging or the B&Q website. Generally, it is designed to be a compact, floor-mounted fixture.
Can this be installed on a wall instead of the floor?
No, this is specifically a floor-mounted door stop. Wall-mounted versions are available separately.
Troubleshooting
Door stop feels loose after installation
Check that all screws are fully tightened. If the floor is soft or the wrong fixings were used, you may need to use larger or more appropriate anchors for your floor type.
Door still makes contact with the wall
Ensure the door stop is positioned correctly to intercept the door's arc of travel. Verify that the door stop is tall enough to meet the bottom edge of the door.
Brass finish is tarnishing
Polish gently with a soft cloth. For persistent tarnish, use a brass polish specifically designed for the material, following product instructions. Ensure the area is dry after cleaning.
