FAQs

What is the length of this door stop?

This SolaDirect Kick Down Door Stop is 20 Cm (approximately 8 inches) in length.

Can this door stop be used on carpet?

While it can be used on carpet, its effectiveness may be reduced compared to hard flooring surfaces. It works best when the rubber bumper can firmly grip the floor.

Is installation difficult?

No, installation is designed to be simple and typically requires basic tools like a drill and screwdriver.

How do I clean the door stop?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or rubber components.

What is the primary benefit of this type of door stop?

The primary benefit is its hands-free operation and its ability to securely hold doors open in windy conditions, preventing disturbances and protecting floors.

Can this be used for exterior doors?

Yes, it is suitable for external use on a wide range of applications.

Troubleshooting

Door stop does not hold the door securely.

Ensure the door stop is fully deployed by kicking it down firmly. Check if the floor surface is uneven or if there is excessive debris preventing full contact. Verify that the door gap is sufficient for the stop to engage properly.

Door stop is difficult to deploy or retract.

Clean the mechanism to remove any dirt or obstruction. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which could restrict movement. Check for any foreign objects caught in the pivot points.

Rubber bumper is damaged or missing.

Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts. Avoid using the door stop until the bumper is replaced to prevent floor damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to operate with a foot-activated mechanism.
  • Effectively secures doors against wind and drafts.
  • Protects flooring surfaces from damage.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Simple and quick installation process.

Cons

  • May not function effectively on uneven or carpeted floors.
  • Requires a minimum door gap to engage properly.
  • Color options may vary; ensure you select the desired finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the ideal height for the door stop to engage effectively when the door is in the desired open position.
  2. Position the door stop against the bottom of the door.
  3. Mark the screw hole locations on the floor.
  4. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
  5. Secure the door stop to the floor using the provided screws.

Compatibility:

This door stop is designed for doors that open to at least a 90-degree angle and have a sufficient gap between the bottom of the door and the floor (typically requiring a few millimeters for proper engagement). It is best suited for hard flooring surfaces like wood, tile, or concrete. Performance may be reduced on thick carpets or highly uneven surfaces.

Care:

To maintain the door stop's functionality, periodically wipe it clean with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the moving parts operate smoothly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or the rubber bumper.
