Magnetic Door Stopper

What it is and what it is made of

The magnetic door stopper is a small floor-mounted stop that keeps a door from swinging into a wall. The body is stainless steel, and a rubber face sits where the door meets the stop. The rubber softens the contact, so the door lands quietly instead of knocking against metal.

The base is magnetic. It holds the stopper in place on the floor without screws or anchors, so you can set it down where the door needs it and move it later if the door swing changes.

How the magnetic base works

A magnetic base is the reason this stopper needs no drilling. The base grips the floor and stays put under normal door use, while the rubber face takes the hit from the door. Because there are no holes to patch, this suits rentals, apartments and homes where you would rather not put screws into a floor.

Set the stopper where the door edge meets it at the angle you want the door to rest. Test the swing a few times and nudge the base if the door needs to open wider or sit closer to the wall.

Colors

Five finishes let you match the stopper to the door, the floor or the hardware nearby.

Each order is a single stopper, so you can pick one color for a single door or order more than one for a set of doors.

Where to use it

Use it on interior doors that swing toward a wall: bedroom doors, office doors, bathroom doors and closet doors. It works on hard floors such as tile, wood, laminate and vinyl, and it suits door bottoms that sit close to the floor.

Because the base is magnetic and the fixing needs no drilling, this stopper is a good fit for a door that has no wall space for a hinge-mounted stop or a wall bumper. It also helps when you want the door to hold at a set angle rather than swing free.

If the door has a high gap under it, check that the stopper body still meets the door face before you rely on it. A door that clears the stopper will pass over it instead of stopping.

How to fit it

1. Clean the floor where the stopper will sit. Dust and grit weaken the grip of a magnetic base.
2. Dry the spot with a cloth.
3. Open the door to the angle you want it to hold.
4. Set the stopper on the floor so the rubber face meets the door edge.
5. Press the base down firmly.
6. Swing the door a few times to check the contact, then adjust the position if needed.

No drill, no screws and no anchors. If you move the stopper, lift the base, wipe the floor and set it down in the new spot.

Care

Wipe the stopper with a dry cloth. A dry cloth lifts dust from the stainless steel body and the rubber face without leaving residue. Keep the base and the floor under it free of grit, since a clean base holds better than a dusty one. Do not soak the stopper or leave it sitting in water.
