Doorstops have many different looks, placements and functionality. Although the purpose of door stops are all essentially the same—stopping your door knob from slamming into the wall—they all get the job done in different ways. Below are categories for each type of door stop we sell. Each section explains unique characteristics each door stop may have, the type of setting they are best suited, what style it entails and the physical placement of the stop.

Most floor door stops are fastened to the floor allowing it to stop the door from opening too wide. Like all stops, these prevent the door from coming into to contact with the wall. This specific type of stop is a great choice when using a nearby wall is impractical. Typically these floor door stops are dome-shaped pieces that fashion to the floor and have rubber padding where the door makes contact. Although these are not exactly high fashion, they are very functional. Some designs are more subtle and take on more of a baseboard stop appearance, while others have the added hold-open, hook function.

Most wall stops are installed on walls and prevent the door knob from making contact with the wall. These stops are extremely simple and like all stops, easy to install. A rubber stopper ensures quiet and damage-free knob to wall contact.  Handlesets.com offers wall stops in a variety of finishes and designs.

Baseboard door stops are fastened to either the bottom edge of the door or the baseboard. These are extremely common and found in most households. These stops come in multiple finishes and styles. There is the basic coil style that you will find in most homes, the rigid sloping design and the one solid piece design. The two latter designs tend to be sleek in appearance. Some baseboard stops include a manual hold-open hook, allowing you to manually hold your door open, if desired. These are significantly higher in price but extremely functional. This type of door stop would be perfect for those high traffic door ways around the home, office or school.

 
A hinge pin door stop is more discrete. This option stops a door like a baseboard stop, but is installed on the hinge. These are probably the most subtle types of door stops, making them perfect for anyone concerned with aesthetic impact. A hinge pin stop works by slipping under the hinge. One leg of the stop is curved back onto the door, while the other points towards the wall. This way, when the door opens, the leg will ultimately make contact with the wall, which prevents the door and the knob from reaching the wall.
