Product Information
Full details
The Four Candle Cast Iron Door Stop is an ideal solution for homeowners and office managers looking to securely hold heavy doors in place with a touch of industrial character. Its primary benefit is the substantial weight of solid cast iron, which provides exceptional stopping power without needing permanent mounting. A key caveat to consider is that the raw cast iron base is quite heavy and firm, so users should exercise caution on delicate hardwood or tile floors to avoid potential scratches.

FAQs
Does this door stop require any assembly?
No, it comes fully assembled as a single solid piece.
Will this rust if used outdoors?
While cast iron is durable, it can develop rust if left in damp or rainy conditions. It is best suited for interior use.
Can it be used on carpet?
Yes, the heavy weight and design make it effective on most carpet types, providing better traction than lighter materials.
What is the weight of the door stop?
The product is made of solid cast iron designed specifically for its substantial heft, making it suitable for heavy interior doors.
Can I paint this door stop?
Yes, if you wish to change the color, you can use metal-safe paint, though ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Troubleshooting
Door stop slides on slippery floor surfaces
Apply a small adhesive-backed rubber or felt pad to the bottom of the door stop for increased friction.
Surface finish appears dull or dusty
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface; avoid water or harsh chemical cleaners which can affect the industrial finish.
Door stop is too low for the gap under the door
The door stop is a static object; ensure you are placing the thickest part of the wedge against the door leaf itself rather than the threshold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the door stop on the floor behind the door. No tools or hardware are required. It is compatible with most standard interior and exterior door gaps. For care, keep the unit dry to prevent surface oxidation, as cast iron can rust if exposed to high moisture. If the finish appears dull over time, a light wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance. If using on hardwood or sensitive tile, consider placing a small piece of felt or a rubber pad underneath the base to prevent surface damage.
