Door Stoppers

Door stops are small fittings that make a big difference in protecting walls, doors, and hardware. By preventing doors from swinging too far or slamming into walls and furniture, they extend the life of both the door and surrounding finishes. From wall mounted door stops for everyday use to magnetic door stops that hold doors open securely, Doric’s range is built for durability and tested for Australian conditions.

Whether you’re managing a busy commercial property, fitting out strata apartments, or upgrading a family home, the right door stop provides safety, protection, and peace of mind.

Types of Door Stops

Different spaces call for different types of door stops. Doric’s range covers every setting:

Wall Mounted Door Stops

A classic choice that fixes to the wall and prevents door handles or levers from damaging paint or plaster. These are simple, cost-effective, and ideal for residential interiors.

Floor Mounted Door Stops

Installed directly on the floor, these stops provide reliable control for heavier doors. They’re commonly used in commercial spaces or where doors swing wide.

Magnetic Door Stops

Dual-purpose fittings that both stop and hold doors in place. A magnetic catch secures the door when open, preventing accidental slamming. Perfect for high-traffic areas where doors need to stay open temporarily.

Rubber Door Stops

Affordable and versatile, rubber tips absorb impact to protect both the door and the wall. These are often used in residential settings and as replacement parts for existing fittings.

Key Features & Benefits

Doric door stops offer practical protection and usability benefits:

• Wall and surface protection – stop handles, locks, or panels from striking plaster, paint, or furniture.
• Noise reduction – prevent loud impacts that disturb residents or tenants.
• Durability – built from materials that resist wear, including stainless steel, aluminium, and reinforced rubber.
• Safety – reduce the risk of finger or hand injuries by controlling door swing.
• Low maintenance – simple design and durable finishes mean fewer replacements over the lifecycle of a building.
• Variety of designs – choose from wall, floor, magnetic, or sliding options to suit the specific need of each door.

Applications

Door stops are essential across a range of properties:

• Residential homes – wall mounted and rubber door stops protect plaster walls and cabinetry from repeated knocks.
• Strata complexes – durable stops reduce ongoing repair costs by preventing damage in shared corridors and entryways.
• Commercial buildings – floor mounted and magnetic stops provide controlled movement for heavier doors in offices, schools, and retail spaces.
• Public facilities – reliable impact control helps meet safety expectations in areas with high door usage.
• Sliding systems – the DS297 Sliding Door Stopper extends the life of door rollers by preventing over-travel and reducing strain on tracks.

Compatibility Across Door Types

Doric door stops are designed to work with all major door builds:

• Timber doors – strong floor-mounted or wall-mounted options handle solid-core timber weight.
• Aluminium frames – lightweight but strong stoppers designed for modern extrusions.
• Glass systems – slimline stops that protect delicate finishes without detracting from design.
• Sliding doors – stoppers like the DS297 prevent damage to panels, rollers, and tracks.

For complete protection, door stops can be paired with hinges, door closers, door seals, and even entrance handles to create a fully integrated and durable door system.

Maintenance & Replacement Guidance

Door stops are low-maintenance, but regular checks ensure they keep working:

Maintenance tips:

• Wipe metal and rubber parts clean to prevent dirt build-up.
• Inspect rubber tips for cracks or wear.
• Check fixings to ensure screws remain tight in high-traffic areas.

When to replace:

• Rubber tips have worn down or cracked.
• Stops no longer prevent the door from reaching the wall.
• Magnetic catches no longer hold firmly.
• Sliding door stoppers allow over-travel or misalignment.

Replacement is quick, affordable, and prevents more expensive repairs to doors and walls.
