National Hardware N184-259 V238 Kickdown Door Stop in Brass,4 Inch

I have an older mobile home and this was easy to install and is excellent quality

I was in need of a cost-effective yet reliable doorstop for my metal door, and the National Hardware N273-532 V238 Kickdown Door Stop delivered exactly what I was looking for. This doorstop easily holds back the weight of the door without any struggle.The installation was super simple—a quick and easy setup that anyone can do. If you're searching for a solid, budget-friendly solution to keep your door in place, I highly recommend this doorstop. It offers great value without compromising on quality.

Nice chrome finish. Easy installation. Holds back heavy doors. It just works.

It works fine, but instructions are poor, as you have to guess the positioning of installation.

Seems like it will last. Easy to install.

They look fine but the metal seems to be a very cheap die cast type of metal. I would have paid much extra to get a quality one. Hard to find. This unit broke on our door after only 4 weeks. I attached it with both screws and Gorilla glue to ensure a solid fit but the spring gave way first, then the bracket that hold the stopper broke. See photo.

Contruction:It is sturdy and well made. All solid metal. The foot works on my concrete floors. It holds a solid wood door that is about 8 feet tall and 42 inches wide that has an automatic closure.Tips for installation:To ensure the stopper is installed at the right height, here are some tips.- Open the door to the position you intend on using the stopper the most. This ensures you account for different floor material/height.- Put the stopper in the stopping position (in the down position).- Put the stopper against the door and slide it down until the foot hits the floor.- Mark your holes.- But instead of drilling dead center to the mounting holes, drill about 1/16-1/8 BELOW the center of the hole. This ensures when the stopper comes down, it can get a good bite against the floor. Mine is used on a concrete floor. If you have carpet, depending on the thickness, just make sure to account for that. You might have to go a little farther down, but that depends on how much pressure you used earlier when you slid the stopper down into the carpet before you did the marking.Hope this helps.

This door stopped worked better than I thought it would. We struggled with a plastic wedge doorstop for many years because it was not attached to the door and would get misplaced; and even if it was in it's regular storage spot it took at least 15-20 seconds and two hands to get it and prop the house-garage door open. When we move to a new house the house-garage door had a larger gap between the door and floor and the old wedge wasn't big enough. I was shopping for a larger wedge when Amazon suggested this kickdown door stop. It is SO much better. It is attached to the door and can be engaged and disengaged with one foot while your hands are full of stuff. The only thing to be careful of is to make sure you attach the kickdown to the door so that the rubber or plastic tip contacts the floor in the right spot. If you position the kickdown too high or too low on the door, the tip won't meet the floor at the correct angle for maximum hold. However, that position is not too difficult to determine. And the price is great.
