FAQs
What material is the door stop made of?
The door stop is made of durable stainless steel.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, fixings (screws and anchors) are included for easy installation.
Do I need to drill into the floor?
Yes, this is a floor-mounted door stop, so drilling into the floor is required for secure installation.
What types of floors can this be installed on?
It is suitable for most solid floors including wood, tile, concrete, and linoleum. Ensure the floor is stable enough to accept fixings.
How do I clean the door stop?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can this door stop be used outdoors?
While stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, it is designed for indoor use. Prolonged outdoor exposure may affect its finish.
What is the purpose of the cylinder shape?
The cylinder shape provides a robust and effective buffer to stop the door, preventing it from impacting the wall.
Troubleshooting
Door stop is loose after installation.
Ensure pilot holes were drilled correctly and fixings are fully tightened. If on a softer floor, consider using longer screws or additional anchoring material.
Door still hits the wall.
Adjust the door stop's position slightly further out from the wall or ensure the door is not opening beyond the cylinder's reach.
Rust or discoloration appears on the surface.
This is unlikely with stainless steel. Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner. If significant corrosion occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect or exposure to harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired stopping point for your door.
- Hold the door stop against the floor at the chosen location, ensuring it aligns with the door's swing path.
- Mark the screw hole positions on the floor.
- Drill pilot holes for the fixings. If installing on hard floors like tile or concrete, use appropriate drill bits and wall plugs (included).
- Secure the door stop to the floor using the provided screws.
Compatibility:
This door stop is compatible with most standard interior doors. It is best suited for solid floors such as wood, tile, concrete, or linoleum. Ensure there is adequate space for the cylinder once installed.
Care:
Clean the stainless steel surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used.
