Wall Mounted Door Stops
Prevent handles and doors from damaging walls with a wall mounted door stop. Fixed to a wall or skirting board, these compact door stops absorb impact while leaving the floor clear. Explore chrome door stops, stainless steel, brass and black finishes in designs for traditional and contemporary interiors.
Whether you need a simple wall door stop or a magnetic design that can also hold the door open, choose a fitting that suits the door weight, mounting surface and required opening angle.
Why Choose Our Wall Mounted Door Stops?
A wall mounted door stop prevents the door or handle from striking and damaging the wall. Because it leaves the floor clear, it is a practical alternative to a floor-mounted stop in smaller rooms, areas with underfloor heating or places where a floor fixing could cause an obstruction.
Choosing the right wall door stop
- Check the mounting surface: Use fixings suited to plasterboard, masonry, timber or the relevant substrate. Hollow walls may require specialist anchors or structural support.
- Measure the projection: The stop must contact a strong, flat part of the door before the handle reaches the wall.
- Consider the door weight: Frequently used or heavier doors may require a more robust fitting.
- Choose the function: A standard wall door stop limits travel, while a magnetic model can also retain the door where appropriate.
- Match the finish: A chrome door stop suits many contemporary interiors, while brass, stainless steel and black finishes make it easy to coordinate your ironmongery.
Wall Mounted Door Stops FAQ
What is a wall mounted door stop used for?
A wall mounted door stop limits how far a door can open. It helps prevent the door or handle from damaging walls, furniture and nearby fittings.
Are wall mounted door stops better than floor door stops?
Wall-mounted stops keep floors clear and are useful where underfloor heating or the flooring material makes drilling undesirable. Floor-mounted stops may be more suitable when there is no secure wall behind the door or the door is particularly heavy.
Can I install a wall mounted door stop on any wall surface?
Wall door stops can be fitted to many plasterboard, masonry and timber surfaces, provided the substrate is secure and the correct fixings are used. Hollow walls may require specialist anchors or additional support.
How do I install a wall mounted door stop?
Open the door to the required stopping position and mark where the stop will meet a strong, flat part of the door. Check for hidden pipes and cables before drilling, then fit the stop using fixings appropriate for the wall construction and the product instructions.
Can wall mounted door stops be used with fire doors?
A stop that simply limits the door’s opening may be suitable, provided it does not interfere with the door, closer or required closing action. Magnetic or mechanical hold-open devices may be subject to additional fire-safety requirements. Check the product documentation and obtain professional guidance for fire-rated installations.
