correct installation, quality materials and an ergonomic handle are the basis for convenient use of the door. But for more comfortable and safe operation, it is necessary to equip the door leaf with additional devices. One of them is a latch, the main function of which is to lock the sash in the desired position.

Types of clamps

To correctly choose this type of accessory from a variety of models, you need to determine in which room and for what purpose it will be installed. The whole variety of door latches is usually divided according to several criteria:

• purpose - to fix the door in a closed, open position or at a certain angle;
• by location - floor, wall, door;
• by design - with a rigid mount or mobile.

Applications

Door leaf stoppers are small and inexpensive, but very useful accessories. They are used in everyday life, public institutions and industrial premises. The main advantages and reasons for using a retainer:

• ensures safe swinging of the sash, which prevents the doors themselves, pieces of furniture and walls from accidental damage;
• fixes the door in a predetermined position in rooms with high traffic or, if necessary, carry large items;
• prevents abrupt closing of the sash and its possible damage from a gust of wind or draft;
• allows pets to move freely throughout the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe apartment or house;
• allows you to leave children in the room unattended for a while.

Open position locks, opening angle limiters

Magnetic door stop

A wide category of clamps both in appearance and in the method of fastening and the principle of operation. It is useful to have them at home, as situations arise from time to time when you need to temporarily lock the door in the open position for carrying things or airing. In public areas with active attendance, such accessories are indispensable.

Another type of magnetic clamps

Floor (wall) clamps

Common and easy-to-install types of limiter. They are distinguished by ease of installation and use, low cost and long-term reliability. Such devices can be both stationary and portable:

The latch-stop is attached to the bottom of the sash and allows you to temporarily fix the canvas in the open or half-open position. Available in various colors, suitable for installation on wooden, aluminum, plastic doors for any purpose.

Closed position locks

Such types of limiters are installed to fix the sash in the closed position, they are used for interior and balcony doors in residential premises, entrance doors in public places and shops. There are several types of structures, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages.

Ball (roller)

End mounted door leaf, when closing, the ball-tongue with a spring enters the hole of the reciprocal plate fixed on door frame at the same level, and securely fixes the door in the closed position. A fairly reliable and time-tested mechanism that can withstand many opening and closing cycles. The principle of operation and design of the roller stops are similar to the ball mechanism, but the shape of the tongue is more elongated.

Ball (roller) latches are not associated with the door handle - to open the sash, just press the canvas. Such mechanisms are convenient for equipping doors that need to be in the closed position most of the time, but can be easily opened when needed.

The installation of such a latch does not require the dismantling of the handle and the locking device of the door - this is an additional device, which is usually located a little higher or lower. It is necessary to observe the relative correspondence of the levels of the tongue and the hole on the mounting plate horizontally.

Falevye

They have a beveled tongue, which, when closed, also enters the corresponding slot of the metal striker installed on the door frame. To open the door, you need to turn the door handle - latch clips, unlike ball ones, are associated with it.

This type of latches is more reliable than ball (roller) ones - such a door will not be opened by a strong gust of wind or Small child. When installing the latch on balcony door it is recommended to provide a double-sided rotary handle, otherwise it will be impossible to open such a sash from the side of the balcony.

Probably, every person has encountered a problem when the door leaf slams loudly. In addition, when opening the door from hitting the wall, chips remain on it, which also do not decorate the room. To get rid of such problems once and for all, it is enough to buy and install a door stop. First you need to deal with the existing proposal, choose the type of limiter that is best suited in a particular case, and any home master can install it with his own hands.

What are door stops and locks for?

If you often hear the sound of a door hitting when you open it in your house, a door stopper will help solve this problem once and for all. It is a device that provides protection for doors, walls and nearby objects from chips and damage. This is a small detail, but it helps to significantly increase the life of the door leaf, as well as protect the walls from damage when the door is carelessly opened. By installing such a device, you will be relieved of the need to frequently change the decoration of the wall next to the entrance.

Without installing a door stop, opening the door may damage the wall or nearby furniture.

The door stop allows you to set the maximum opening width of the door leaf or reduce the speed of its movement. Some models securely fix the door in a given position, depriving it of the ability to open or close on its own. There is a fairly wide selection of such devices, which differ from each other both in shape and design, and in appearance.

Types of door stops

Door stops vary:

• at the place of installation - they are floor, wall or door;
• according to the principle of operation - there are ordinary, magnetic, vacuum and mechanical stops.

Since interior and exterior doors have different sizes and weight, then the limiters for them are used different. An ordinary person, faced with the problem of choosing such a device, may be confused by the available choice. To prevent this from happening, you need to navigate in the terms used:

• stop - a device that limits the opening angle of the web, and sometimes fixes it when it reaches the end point;

  The stop allows you to fix the canvas in the desired position

• bump stop - prevents the canvas from hitting a wall, furniture or other object that is in the way of opening the door;

  The chipper prevents the door leaf from hitting the wall

• stopper - designed to fix the door in a certain position;

  The stopper allows you to fix the door in the desired position

• overlay - does not allow the door to slam arbitrarily;

  The overlay does not allow the door to close arbitrarily

• latch - fixes the canvas in the closed position. Some experts attribute such a device to locks, others to stops;

  The latch secures the door in the closed position

• closer - in addition to ensuring smooth closing of the door leaf, it also limits the angle of its opening.

  The closer limits the opening angle of the door leaf and ensures its smooth closing

Floor models

Floor door stoppers are installed directly on the floor covering and are divided into two types according to the type of their action:

• holding the door leaf in a predetermined position;
• controlling the degree of opening of the door.

According to the installation method, such limiters are divided into:

1. Mobile or mobile. In specialized stores, such stops are presented in a wide range and can have a wide variety of designs: in the form of letters, toys, wedges, etc. Models that are worn on the lower edge of the door leaf have become widespread. Such limiters have an anti-slip coating, abut on both sides of the door and do not allow it to move in either direction.

   The mobile floor restraint can have a variety of different shape

2. Stationary. Such models are mounted on the floor in certain place and are intended for permanent use. They can be of several types:
   

When choosing a place for mounting a floor limiter, one must take into account the fact that it should not interfere with free movement, otherwise it is easy to injure the leg by hitting the latch rigidly screwed to the floor.

wall models

In those rooms where it is not possible or undesirable to fix the door limiter on the floor (expensive parquet, natural marble floor or other unique coating), great solution there will be wall models. Such devices are slightly more expensive than outdoor ones and there are several types:

• in the form of a rod - they are an emphasis with a platform for mounting and a rubber shock absorber mounted on a rod, the length of which can vary from 5 to 15 cm. Before buying a wall-mounted model, you need to decide which wall you will mount it on. There is no difference for a brick, and if it is made of drywall, then it is necessary that the size of the fastening part be at least 10x10 cm. This will ensure a reliable fastening of the stop, and the wall will not break through from the impact;

  A conventional wall stop is a stop with a mounting platform

• with magnetic lock - from floor version they differ only in the place of installation;
• overlays. If you think that a wall-mounted shock absorber with a stem does not look very beautiful, you can install a pad under the handle. It is located on the wall opposite door handle and is usually attached to double-sided tape, so you don’t have to drill the wall;

  To limit the opening of the door on the wall, they often mount an overlay under the handle.

• with fixing the position of the door. In this case, the stopper is attached to the wall, and the hook is attached to the door. When the door is opened, the hook rises and the canvas is securely fixed in the open position. To close the door, such a latch must be unlocked manually.

  After opening the door, the hook securely fixes it in the open position.

Door fittings

Overdoor stops are installed directly on the door leaf, so the walls and floor are not damaged. Fastening is done with glue or self-tapping screws.

1. The simplest is the tape stop. It is a strong tape, at the ends of which there are places for fixing it to the jamb and the canvas. In order for the tape limiter to serve for a long time, it is necessary to purchase models that have high strength and elasticity.

   The tape limiter has special platforms for fastening to the canvas and the jamb

2. For an entrance door, a hinged stop would be an excellent option. During installation, the angle of stop relative to the floor must be observed. The best option when it is 45 o , at a smaller angle, the mechanism may break.

   The folding stop is activated by pressing the foot, and in the retracted position it securely snaps onto the clip

The retractable stop is made with a rod and a brake shoe. Its installation is carried out in a vertical position. You can also operate such a device with your foot, and in order to raise it, you will need to manually bend the side plate.

Raise the retractable stop with your hands

The sliding door stop allows you to fix the canvas at different points, their number depends on the number of cutouts in the groove of the device. A rod is fixed on the canvas, and the device itself is installed on the door jamb. Since this limiter is installed in the upper part of the leaf, it does not interfere with the operation of the door.

The sliding limiter allows you to fix the canvas at several points

3. Soft overlays. Protect the door from accidental slamming. Their use allows you to protect children's hands from the possibility of being squeezed by doors. To install such devices, simply put them on the door leaf.

   Soft pads are installed on the door leaf and protect hands from accidentally getting into the space between the door and the jamb

Anti-vandal restraints

There are models of limiters that allow you to protect the house from illegal entry. Most simple options may simply make a loud sound when in contact with the door leaf. More expensive models send an alarm signal to the security console or mobile phone.

Anti-vandal limiter allows you to protect the house from thieves

This type of limiters can be both floor and over-door. Floor models are available in the form of wedges made of polymers or other suitable form. Overdoor stops are put on the door leaf and are also made of soft materials. The free-standing stops do not need to be locked in place, so they can be used anywhere and anytime.

Freely positioned stops do not require fastening and can fix the door in any position

Magnetic or vacuum stops

A feature of the magnetic limiter is that it not only prevents the door from swinging open at an angle greater than the specified one, but also ensures its fixation in the open position. A metal plate is installed on the canvas, and a magnet is placed on the limiter itself. To fix doors of different weights, you need to choose a magnet of the appropriate power.

Instead of a magnet, a vacuum lock can be used on such limiters. In this case, a rubber suction cup is installed on the door, which repeats the shape of the limiter. When opening the door, the suction cup is securely connected to the limiter and ensures that the door leaf is held open.

Vacuum stop keeps door open with suction cup

ball detents

Ball devices are designed to fix the door in the closed position and do not allow it to open spontaneously. These are small devices, one part of which is mounted in the door leaf, and the second - on the door jamb. These models are usually used on interior doors that do not need long-term locking. Due to the presence of an internal spring, the ball securely fixes the door, and after pressing the canvas, even a child can open it.

The ball lock securely holds the door closed, and it will not be difficult to open it if necessary

Installation of door opening limiters

Most often, floor or wall door stops are used, so we will consider the installation process using their example. To complete the work you will need:

Mounting the floor stop

Consider the installation of a conventional metal floor door stop. It can have a different shape, for example, in the form of a pin or a hemisphere, as well as different heights.

Work on the installation of the floor limiter is carried out in the following sequence:

1. Preparation of tools and inspection of the limiter assembly. Usually, the kit includes a screw and a dowel for fixing the stop, but if they are not there, you need to prepare the fasteners separately.

   Checking the complete set of the door stop

2. Site selection and marking. For the correct choice of the installation location, it is necessary to open the door leaf so that it does not reach the wall or furniture by 3–5 cm. Don't forget to consider the size of the door handle. The place for the stop is chosen approximately in the center of the door. Mark the installation site and check again if everything is done correctly.
3. Creating a hole. Using a drill, make a hole in the floor and insert a dowel into it. For concrete pavement, a hammer drill must be used.
   

   A hole is made in the floor into which a plastic dowel is inserted.

4. Limiter installation. Install the door stop and fix it with one or more self-tapping screws. If the limiter has the form of a hemisphere, it must be turned so that the canvas is in tight contact with the rubber pad.

   Using a self-tapping screw, fix the limiter

To keep the brass floor stopper shiny, it is recommended to periodically open it with varnish.

Mounting the wall stop

If you want the limiter not to interfere with free movement around the room, you can install it on the wall. Installation of wall models is carried out in the same sequence as the floor options. The only difference will be that such a device is mounted on the wall, and not on the floor.

Repair of door opening limiters

A feature of door latches is that they have simple design, so they have virtually nothing to fail.

The main breakdowns of door stops will depend on the type of device:

• failure of the rubber lining. If the rubber lining is damaged on the floor or wall model of the limiter, then it must be replaced;
• weakening of the suction cup. If the suction cup is damaged in the vacuum limiter, then it will not provide reliable fixation of the web and it must be replaced;
• damage to the stop for over-door models is eliminated by replacing such a device;
• the weakening of the spring in the ball stopper leads to the fact that it cannot perform its functions. This device must be replaced.

The magnetic door latch often becomes actual option solutions to life's problems. Thanks to this design, it is possible to protect households from injuries that can be obtained if the mechanism closes abruptly due to a draft. Thus, the limiters will extend the durability door structure protecting her from shock. Before purchasing a magnetic retainer for interior doors, you need to familiarize yourself with the varieties, features and other parameters of this product.

Magnetic stop option for interior doors

Everyone has their own motives for purchasing a door stop with a magnetic lock. This element will increase the level of security of the walls, the door structure itself, as well as the residents of an apartment or house.

It is worth installing a latch for the following reasons:

These are the main reasons why you need to install a magnetic latch. Each person has their own motives and preferences for arranging such a mechanism.

Scope of application of magnetic clamps

Products such as magnetic retainers can be used in different rooms, regardless of their purpose. If there are openings in the space leading to other rooms, then the restrictive metal strips can find their place in it.

Variant of the design of the magnetic retainer

The choice and installation of latches for doors is most often carried out:

• representatives of educational institutions;
• owners of entertainment establishments;
• medical personnel;
• hosts country houses or apartments.

Looking at the above information, you can understand that there are no specific establishments in which door latches are most often installed. Such elements for safety and comfort are used everywhere.

Magnetic retainer option

Analyzing the statistics of demand, the staff of building stores claims that the number of people wishing to purchase a structure opening limiter in a set for the door leaf is increasing every year. At the same time, one acquires different types products.

Types of magnetic clamps

To choose the door opening limiter accurately, you should study what types they are in general. There are two main types of magnetic clamps by type, and their installation location also varies:

The principle of their work is similar, but still there are some differences. People who go to the store to buy this product should be aware of these differences.

Dimensional drawing of magnetic retainer

Floor fixer

There may be floor stops. Such clamps are most common among consumers. Regardless of which door the element for the PVC loggia or for the bedroom will be installed with, its location is behind the door.

Instructions for mounting the floor magnetic fixer

The floor clamp performs two functions at the same time. The first of these is to control the degree of opening of the door leaf sash. At the same time, the limiter is an element that holds the door in a single position when open.

The principle of operation of the floor clamp

At the same time, at the installation stage, it is necessary to determine the angle of the door in the open position in order to correctly fix the stopper.

wall bracket

According to the principle of its action, it is similar to the floor element limiter. The only difference between the wall limiter is the installation technology.

Having started working in 2005, we could not imagine that we would be engaged not only in the installation of windows in St. Petersburg, but also in the repair plastic windows, modernization, sale of fittings and window seals. Window seal and fittings are designed for a service life of about 10 years. In those days, there was no need to repair windows and sell spare parts for plastic windows in St. Petersburg. Of course, there was a need to adjust or lubricate the fittings, to eliminate the problem of double opening (the sash opens and reclines at the same time), but these were rare cases. Not many people know window structures it is necessary to maintain: adjust the fittings, clean, lubricate the seal. It is advisable to carry out these service works annually, check the windows for operability, tightness. Over time, it became clear that everything around us in this world and windows also require maintenance. Now in 2019, no one will be surprised that it is necessary to adjust the windows, lubricate, and replace the seal. In the window industry, there is a wide variety of profile manufacturers and suppliers, it is worth noting that they all differ from each other. For example: the Rehau seal will not fit the KBE profile, the Roto NT fittings will not fit the GU. Windows are private. The window consists of four main components:

The profile from which the structure is made

Double glazing for thermal insulation

Fittings that allow you to open, tilt the window

Sealant for tightness

The main thing to choose good profile for the subsequent manufacture of a window structure, choose fittings, a double-glazed window and a sealant (German Schlegel Q-lon sealants with a service life of up to 21 years have now appeared on the market). The second stage is the installation, where the window must be level, securely fixed in the opening. After that comes the installation of slopes, which not only perform an aesthetic, but also a thermal insulation task. It turns out 3 steps, each must be performed at a level so as not to get windows that will disappoint: they close poorly, blow through, whistle, etc. We advise you to contact trusted and reliable companies. We offer Rehau window structures using Roto Nt fittings, of course, you can save money and choose technical profile and the cheapest hardware. It's up to you, we advise you to choose something in between, and not cheap or overly expensive.

We decided to modernize window structures, you know, it is almost always possible to replace a double-glazed window with a warmer one, install a triplex, tinted or armored double-glazed window in an existing window. But it is better to invite a window master, he will tell you exactly what to do, calculate the cost of completing the task. It is better to pay from 500 rubles to the master and find out exactly what is right to do. The experience of the masters of our company in the repair of plastic, wood and aluminum windows is 12 years old. Ask for help, advice or for a comprehensive solution to your problems.

Now the problem of ensuring the safety of children from falling out of windows is urgent, please do not delay the solution of this issue and familiarize yourself with the options to help keep peace and your family. You can find a handle with a lock, a child lock, a cable lock on the website and place an order for installation or purchase. You can install these security elements yourself, we recommend that you call us, we will solve this problem at a convenient time for you.

You are tired of loudly slamming doors and impartial chips on the walls left by the door leaf, so it's time to purchase and install a door opening limiter. Next, we will analyze in detail the types of such devices, and finally we will show how to install a door stopper with your own hands.

Door opening limiters are quite diverse.

The stool pushed under the door and a homemade wooden wedge are slowly disappearing into history. Now the industry produces a wide variety of stops, which are sometimes difficult to understand.

Limiter classification

In fact, the door stop is one of the varieties of small fittings. Doors are divided into entrance and interior doors, the weight and dimensions of the canvases can vary greatly, respectively, and the stops on the door are different.

In addition, door stops can perform different, sometimes opposite, functions. It’s one thing when you need a stop so that the canvas doesn’t hit the wall, and it’s completely different when you need to protect children’s fingers from a door that doesn’t close at the right time.

But how to do right choice, if often an ordinary person has a rather vague idea of ​​what kind of mechanism he needs. First, let's go over the basic terms.

Original door stop design.

• Stops - designed to limit the angle of the door turn, and sometimes fix the door leaf at the end point when in contact with the stop;
• Chippers - are needed in order to soften or prevent the door leaf from hitting a wall or any other object, for example, furniture;
• Stoppers - these structures must rigidly fix the canvas at a certain point. Most prominent representative stoppers can be called a well-known chain;
• Overlays - prevent the door from completely slamming, leaving a small gap between the jamb and the door leaf;
• Latches are, in fact, a kind of lock, the latch fixes the door in the closed state. There is still no consensus among experts whether to refer latches to locks or still to stops;
• Closer - as a rule, this is a limiter for opening the front door. The direct purpose of the closer is to ensure smooth closing of the doors, but there are models that allow you to fix the canvas open at a certain point.

Many modern door closers can be adjusted locally.

Despite the variety of terms and countless models, all these designs are divided into 3 fundamental areas:

1. Limiters installed on the floor;
2. Limiters mounted on the wall;
3. Limiters installed on the door itself.

Floor models

A floor stopper for a door is perhaps the most reliable option, because the floor is static, it will not go anywhere, plus the price of most floor models, as a rule, does not “crawl out” beyond 200 rubles.

The color of the permanently fixed post-post should be in harmony with the overall design.

Metal stops-columns are stationary limiters that are rigidly attached to the floor. The height of such an emphasis ranges from 3 to 7 cm, the average cylinder diameter is 20 - 30 mm. In order not to "cripple" the door on the column there is a groove with a rubber or polyurethane seal.

With proper installation, the column itself does not threaten anything, but the seals will have to be changed periodically. In the residential area of ​​​​an apartment or a private house, it is better not to put columns, since it is easy to stumble on them, but as a limiter for opening the front door, the column fits perfectly.

When choosing such a column, it is better to give preference to shiny and contrasting models. They are at least visible from afar and less likely that a person will stumble.

Semicircular door stop.

The semicircular door opening limiter looks like a quarter of a dissected ball with a shock-absorbing gasket. There is no fundamental difference in the operation of posts and semicircular stops, but when installing the latter, the installation angle must be taken into account so that the door leaf comes into contact with the rubber gasket and does not hit the metal.

The magnetic door stop keeps the door open.

A door stop equipped with a magnet is already a more functional design. A small magnet is built into the head of the stationary stop, and a counter metal plate is attached to the door, as a result, the door leaf is fixed when it comes into contact with the stop.

Of course, magnetic structures are not suitable for entrance doors, because the strength of the magnet is not enough to hold the canvas in gusts of wind, but in the room such stops work flawlessly.

Cork stops are only suitable for the corresponding design.

Cork, rubber and polyurethane stops are a variation of the same posts, the difference is only in the material. But before putting this original stop you need to think carefully, because a soft limiter is not yet a guarantee that you will not “beat off” your fingers about it, plus the cork is practically invisible on the carpet.

The ability to close the head of the stop in a latch mounted on the door jamb is quite a useful feature. Especially well, such devices have proven themselves on entrance doors offices, administrative buildings and shops, in general, wherever a simple latch can pop out due to negligence or from a gust of wind.

The spring stopper is a good solution for temporarily fixing the door leaf.

The design solution is ingeniously simple: synthetic anti-slip "hedgehogs" are fixed on both sides of the flexible steel plate, you only need to slightly bend the plate and slide it under the doors.

Such a device is well suited for temporarily fixing doors, for example, if you need to bring furniture. With this emphasis, even if the door moves from an accidental push, expensive laminate or parquet will remain intact.

The wedge retainer is the simplest solution to the problem.

Wedge-shaped or as they are also called, mobile clamps are now made from different synthetic materials, but in fact these are the same wooden wedges that our grandfathers inserted under the doors, only the external surroundings have changed. Although synthetics must be given credit, such a door stopper does not slip on the floor.

The signal limiter can become the last bastion on the way of robbers. Cheaper models simply make a loud sound when the door leaf comes into contact with them, and the "advanced" stops silently send a radio signal to some kind of receiving device, for example, to a mobile phone or a security console.

wall models

Installing a door stop on the wall is an excellent way out for rooms where, for one reason or another, it is not desirable to fix the device to the floor, for example, expensive floor coverings, such as marble or natural parquet.

Classic wall stop for a door.

The cost of wall fixtures starts from 150 rubles, although this is not a lot, but still more than floor limiters.

The market leader here is a standard stop with a platform and a rubber shock absorber mounted on top of a metal rod. It is distinguished from the floor version of cork by the presence of a wider support platform and a stem with a length of 5 to 15 cm.

When choosing, you need to consider what material your wall is made of. For monolithic brick or concrete walls there is no difference, but under drywall you need to buy a fixture with a wide mounting platform (at least 100x100 mm), otherwise the gypsum board will simply break through from a point impact.

The simplest wall limiter with fixation on self-tapping screws.

The wall-mounted version of the magnetic device may differ from its floor-mounted "brother" only in the length of the stem, otherwise they are identical.

Often there is no way to fix the limiter on the floor, and rubber shock absorbers with a rod leave hard-hitting marks on the door leaf. In this case, a soft pad on the wall under the handle will help you.

Soft synthetics will smoothly absorb the impact, for mounting the stop you do not need to drill the wall, just glue the device on double sided tape, and most importantly, there are a lot of design options here and it will not be difficult to choose a model for your interior.

Soft model with support under the handle

There are in the line of wall fixtures and stops with a reliable lock. As shown in the photo below, the mechanism itself is attached to the wall with self-tapping screws, and the hook with the platform is screwed from the bottom end on the door leaf.

The principle of operation is simple: a rounded door hook, approaching the stopper, lifts the movable part and, thanks to the spring, the latch clings. The only inconvenience is that to release the doors, the latch will have to be pushed back manually.

Wall version of the stop with a latch.

Door fittings

The beauty is that when it comes to wooden or plastic doors then to fix such a limiter you only need a screwdriver, and in some cases you can get by with one glue. Plus the walls and floor will remain intact.

In folding metal stops, the base plate is screwed to the door leaf with self-tapping screws, but during installation, you need to carefully consider setting the angle of inclination of the limiter relative to the floor, an acute angle can cause the mechanism to break. Optimal slope is in the region of 45º.

In addition, when choosing, it is better to give preference to mechanisms in which there is a folding spring, they are an order of magnitude more reliable.

Folding metal overdoor limiter.

The tape stop can be safely called a symbol of simplicity. Self-tapping pads are attached on both sides of the strong tape, you just need to screw these pads to the doors and the jamb.

Is it true appearance this limiter leaves much to be desired, plus such tapes are frayed or torn rather quickly.

If you still decide to buy a tape stop, then it is better to choose elastic stretchable models, their price is not much higher, but such stops are more convenient to use.

Tape stop is considered one of the simplest and most affordable options.

The retractable overdoor stop is a rod with a kind of brake shoe. It is installed in a vertical position and you yourself can decide where exactly to fix the structure.

The retractable overdoor stop is a fairly compact and convenient device.

The sliding model is designed to rigidly fix the door leaf at certain points, there may be several points, it all depends on the number of cutouts in the solid base groove.

This device cannot be called completely over the door, since the base part with a groove is attached to the door jamb, and only the movable stem is fixed on the canvas. Although this is not essential, on some models the fasteners can be interchanged.

The undoubted advantage of such an emphasis is the installation at the top of the doors, where it does not interfere with anyone. On the other hand, to release the stem from the locking groove, you will have to reach it, which is not always convenient.

One of the popular models of sliding stop.

Soft slips protect a door from slamming. These devices are especially convenient in children's rooms, with such pads your child's fingers are much less likely to be squeezed in the door. There is no need to talk about installation at all, the rubber band is simply put on the door.

The soft slip is designed to protect the doors from accidental slamming.

Installation technique

Installing a door stop is pretty easy. We will not talk about gluing options, you can handle this yourself, as for fixing on self-tapping screws, the instruction is something like this:

1. We install a door with a gap between the handle and the wall of about 20 mm and mark the position on the floor;
2. According to the mark on the floor, set the emphasis at the desired angle;
3. We drill a hole for the dowel for the self-tapping screw and insert the dowel itself;
4. We fasten the stop with a self-tapping screw to the floor.

Wall and door opening stops are mounted in approximately the same way, so retelling this simple instructions it makes no sense.

Conclusion

We tried to most fully reflect all types of door stops. In the video in this article you will find Additional information on this topic.
