Correct installation, quality materials and an ergonomic handle - the basis for comfortable door use. 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 required position.

Types of retainers

To choose the right 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 stoppers 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.

Application cases

Door 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 the retainer:

• ensures safe opening of the sash, which prevents the doors themselves, pieces of furniture and walls from accidental damage;
• fixes the door in a given position in rooms with high traffic or, if necessary, carry oversized objects;
• 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\u200ban apartment or house;
• allows you to leave children in the room unattended for a while.

Open position stops, opening angle stops

Magnetic door striker

A wide category of clamps, both in appearance and in the method of attachment and principle of operation. It is useful to have them at home, as occasionally situations arise when you need to temporarily lock the door in the open position to carry things or ventilate. Such accessories are indispensable in public spaces with active traffic.

Another type of magnetic clamps

Floor (wall) clamps

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

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

Closed position latches

Such types of stoppers are installed to fix the sash in the closed position, 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 striker, fixed on door frame at the same level, and securely locks the door in the closed position. A fairly reliable and time-tested mechanism that can withstand many open-close cycles. The principle of operation and design of the roller stops are similar to the ball mechanism, but the tongue is more elongated.

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

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

Fale

They have a beveled tongue, which, when closed, also fits into the corresponding slot of the metal striker mounted on the door frame. To open the door, you need to turn the door handle - the latch locks, unlike the ball locks, are coupled with it.

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

Probably every person has encountered a problem when the door leaf slams loudly. In addition, when you open the door from impacts against 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 craftsman can install it with his own hands.

What are door stops and latches for?

If you often hear the knock of a door banging when opening a door in your house, a door stopper will help to solve this problem once and for all. It is a device that protects doors, walls and nearby objects from chips and damage. This is a small detail, but it helps to significantly increase the service life of the door leaf, as well as protect the walls from damage if the door is opened carelessly. 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 can damage the wall or adjacent 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, making it impossible for it to open or close on its own. There is a fairly wide selection of such devices, which differ among themselves both in shape and design, and in appearance.

Types of door stops

Door stops differ:

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

Since interior and exterior doors have different sizes and weight, then the limiters for them are different. An ordinary person, faced with the problem of choosing such a device, may be confused by the choice available. 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 the end point is reached;

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

• bump stop - prevents the curtain from hitting the wall, furniture or other object on the way of opening the door;

  The bump stop prevents the door leaf from hitting the wall

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

  Stopper allows you to fix the door in the desired position

• pad - does not allow the door to slam shut arbitrarily;

  The cover 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 locks the doors 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 swing angle of the door leaf and ensures its smooth closing

Floor models

Floor door stops are installed directly on the floor covering and are divided into two types by the type of their action:

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

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 wide variety of different shape

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

When choosing a place for mounting the floor stopper, one must take into account the fact that it should not interfere with free movement, otherwise it is easy to get a leg injury by hitting a fixture that is rigidly bolted to the floor.

Wall models

In those rooms where it is impossible or undesirable to fix the door stopper to the floor (expensive parquet, natural marble or other unique coating), excellent solution there will be wall models. Such devices are slightly more expensive than floor devices and are of several types:

• in the form of a rod - they are a stop with a mounting platform 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 on which wall you will mount it. There is no difference for a brick, but if it is made of drywall, then the size of the fastening part must be at least 10x10 cm. This will ensure reliable fastening of the stop, and the wall will not break from the impact;

  A conventional wall stop is a stop with a mounting platform

• with magnetic latch - from floor version they differ only in the place of installation;
• overlays. If you think that the stem wall shock absorber doesn't look very nice, you can fit a handle pad. She sits 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, a cover plate is often mounted 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 is lifted and the blade 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

Overhead devices

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

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

   The tape limiter has special areas for attachment to the canvas and the jamb

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

   The folding stop is activated by pressing the foot, and in the retracted position it snaps securely 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 cuts in the groove of the device. The rod is fixed to the canvas, and the device itself is installed on the door frame. Since this limiter is installed at the top of the door leaf, it does not interfere with the door operation.

Sliding stop allows you to fix the web at several points

3. Soft pads. Protect the door from accidentally slamming. Their use allows you to protect children's hands from the possibility of being trapped by doors. To install such devices, you just need to 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

Vandal-proof restraints

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

Vandal-proof stopper helps protect your home from thieves

This type of limiters can be both floor-mounted and over-the-door. Floor models are available in the form of polymer wedges or other suitable shape... Over-the-door stops are put on the door leaf and are also made of soft materials. Freely spaced stops do not need to be locked to fit, so they can be used anywhere, 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 weight, a magnet of the appropriate power must be chosen.

Instead of a magnet, a vacuum retainer can be used on these stops. In this case, a rubber suction cup is installed on the door, which repeats the shape of the limiter. When the door is opened, the suction cup is securely connected to the limiter and ensures that the door leaf is kept open.

Vacuum stop keeps the door open with a suction cup

Ball Locks

Ball devices are designed to fix the door in the closed position and prevent it from opening spontaneously. These are small devices, one part of which is mounted on the door leaf, and the other on the door frame. 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 reliably fixes the doors, and after pressing the canvas, even a child can open it.

The ball lock holds the door securely in a closed state, and it is not difficult to open it if necessary

Installing door openers

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:

Installing the floor stop

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

Work on installing the floor limiter is performed in the following sequence:

1. Preparing tools and inspecting the complete set of the restrictor. Usually, the kit includes a screw and a dowel to fix 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 markup. For the correct choice of the installation site, 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 doorknob... The place for the stop is chosen approximately in the center of the door. Mark the installation location and check again if everything is done correctly.
3. Hole creation. Using a drill, make a hole in the floor and insert a dowel into it. For concrete paving, a hammer drill must be used.
   

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

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

   Using a self-tapping screw, the limiter is fixed

It is recommended to periodically open it with varnish to keep the brass floor stop shine.

Mounting the wall stopper

If you want the limiter not to interfere with free movement around the room, you can install it on the wall. Installation of wall-mounted models is carried out in the same sequence as for floor-standing versions. The only difference is that this device is mounted on a wall, not on the floor.

Repair of door openers

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

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

• failure of the rubber pad. If the rubber pad 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, it will not provide reliable fixation of the blade and must be replaced;
• damage to the stop on over-door models is eliminated by replacing such a device;
• a weakening of the spring in the ball stop makes it unable to perform its function. Such a device must be replaced.

The magnetic door striker often becomes actual option solutions to everyday problems. Thanks to this design, you can protect your home from injuries that can be obtained if the mechanism closes abruptly due to a draft. Thus, the restraints will extend the durability door structureprotecting it from blows. Before purchasing a magnetic clip for interior doors, you need to familiarize yourself with the varieties, features and other parameters of this product.

Magnetic stopper option for interior doors

Everyone has their own motives to purchase a door stopper 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 the retainer for the following reasons:

These are the main reasons why a magnetic latch is needed. Each person has their own motives and preferences for arranging such a mechanism.

Scope of Magnetic Clamps

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

Magnetic retainer design option

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

• representatives of educational institutions;
• owners of entertainment establishments;
• medical personnel;
• the 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 hardware stores claims that the number of people who want to purchase a door opening kit as well as a door leaf increases every year. At the same time, different types of products are purchased.

Types of magnetic clips

In order to choose the door opening limiter exactly, you should study what types they are in general. There are two main types of magnetic clamps by type, and their installation location also differs:

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 clamp

There may be floor restraints. Such retainers are most common among consumers. Regardless of whether in the configuration with which door an element for a PVC loggia or for a bedroom will be installed, its location is behind the door.

Instructions for mounting the magnetic floor mount

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

How does the floor clamp work?

In this case, 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

By the principle of its action, it is similar to a floor limiter element. The only thing that distinguishes 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. The 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 tilts at the same time), but these were rare cases. Not many people know window constructions it is necessary to service: 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 the windows also require maintenance. Now in 2019 it is no longer surprising that it is necessary to adjust the windows, lubricate, replace the seal. In the window industry there is a wide variety of manufacturers and suppliers of profiles, it is worth noting that they all differ from each other. For example: Rehau gasket will not fit KBE profile, Roto NT hardware will not fit GU. The windows are individual. The window has four main components:

The profile from which the structure is made

Insulating glass unit responsible for thermal insulation

Hardware that allows you to open, tilt the window

Seal for tightness

The main thing is to choose good profile for the subsequent manufacture of a window structure, choose fittings, a glass unit and a seal (now German seals Schlegel Q-lon with a service life of up to 21 years have appeared on the market). The second stage is the installation, where the window should be leveled, securely fixed in the opening. After that, there is already the installation of slopes, which not only fulfill 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: it is bad to close, blow through, whistle, etc. We advise you to contact trusted and reliable companies. We offer window constructions from Rehau with the use of Roto Nt fittings, of course you can save money and choose technical profile and the cheapest fittings. It's up to you to decide, we advise you to choose something in between, and not cheap or overly expensive.

We decided to modernize the window structures, you know, you can almost always replace the glass unit with a warmer one, install a triplex, tinted or armored glass unit in an existing window. But it is better to invite a window wizard, he will tell you exactly how to proceed, calculate the cost of the task. It is better to pay from 500 rubles to the master and find out exactly what to do right. The experience of our company's masters 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 your family and your family calm. You can find a handle with a lock, a child lock, a cable lock on the website and make 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 loud slamming doors and hard-hitting 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 stop with our own hands.

Door openers are quite varied.

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

Limiter classification

In fact, a door stop is one of the varieties of small accessories. 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 restraints can perform different, sometimes opposite functions. It is one thing when you need an emphasis so that the canvas does not hit the wall, and completely different when you need to protect children's fingers from a door that does not close in time.

But how to do right choice, if often an ordinary person has a rather vague idea of \u200b\u200bwhat kind of mechanism he needs. First, let's go over the basic terms.

The original design of the door stop.

• Stops - designed to limit the angle of rotation of the door, and sometimes fix the door leaf at the end point when in contact with the stop;
• Chippers - needed fucking to soften or prevent the door leaf from hitting the wall or any other object, for example, furniture;
• Stoppers - these structures must rigidly fix the canvas at a certain point. Most bright representative stoppers can be called a well-known chain;
• Cover plates - 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 on whether to classify latches as locks or still to stops;
• A closer - as a rule, this is an entrance door opening limiter. The direct purpose of the closer is to ensure the 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 the countless number of models, all these designs are divided into 3 fundamental areas:

1. Floor-mounted limiters;
2. Wall-mounted limiters;
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 "get out" beyond 200 rubles.

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

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

With proper installation, the column itself is not in danger, the seals will have to be changed periodically. In the residential area of \u200b\u200ban apartment or a private house, it is better not to put the columns, as they are easy to trip over, 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 it is less likely that a person will stumble.

Semicircular door opening stop.

The semicircular door opening stop looks like a quarter-cut ball with a cushioning pad. There is no fundamental difference in the operation of the posts and semicircular stops, but when installing the latter, the installation angle must be taken into account so that the door leaf contacts 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 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.

For entrance doors, magnetic structures, of course, are not very suitable, 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 only fit the corresponding design.

Cork, rubber and polyurethane restraints are a kind of the same posts, the only difference is in the material. But before you put this original emphasis you need to think carefully, because a soft stopper is not a guarantee that you will not "beat off" your fingers against it, plus the cork is practically invisible on the carpet.

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

A spring stop is a good solution for temporarily securing the door leaf.

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

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

A 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 they are the same wooden wedges that our grandfathers inserted under the doors, only the outer surroundings have changed. While synthetics must be given their due, such a door stop does not slide on the floor.

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

Wall models

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

Classic wall-mounted door stop.

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

The market leader here is the standard stop with a pad and rubber bumper attached to the top of a metal rod. It is distinguished from the floor version made of cork by the presence of a wider support platform and a rod from 5 to 15 cm long.

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

The simplest wall stopper with self-tapping screws.

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

Often it is not possible to fix the stopper on the floor, and rubber shock absorbers with a rod leave unpleasant marks on the door leaf. In this case, a soft wall pad under the handle will help you.

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

Soft model with support under the handle

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

The principle of operation is simple: a rounded door hook, approaching the stopper, raises the movable part and, thanks to a spring, the latch clings. The only inconvenience is that you have to manually push the latch to release the doors.

Wall-mounted version of the stopper

Overhead devices

The beauty is that when it comes to wooden or plastic doors then you only need a screwdriver to attach such a limiter, and in some cases you can do 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 be careful about 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 much more reliable.

Folding metal door stop.

The tape stop can be safely called a symbol of simplicity. On both sides of the strong tape, there are pads for self-tapping screws, you just need to screw these pads to the doors and the jamb.

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

If you nevertheless 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 in operation.

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

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

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

The sliding model is designed to rigidly fix the door leaf at certain points, there can be several points, it all depends on the number of cutouts in a 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 rod is fixed on the canvas. Although this is not essential, on some models the fasteners can be interchanged.

The undoubted advantage of such a stop is installation in the upper part of the doors, where it does not bother anyone. On the other hand, in order to release the stem from the locking groove, you will have to reach it, which is not always convenient.

One of the popular sliding stop models.

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

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

Installation technique

Installing a door stop is quite simple. We will not talk about the gluing options, you can handle this yourself, as for fixing to self-tapping screws, the instructions are something like this:

1. We install the door with a gap of about 20 mm between the handle and the wall and mark the position on the floor;
2. At the mark on the floor, set the emphasis at the desired angle;
3. We drill a hole for a dowel for a 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 about the same way, so retell this simple instruction it makes no sense.

Output

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