There are many doors stops to choose from. You could have a doorstop that is made of metal, plastic, rubber, or wood. This article will go over three points to be able to choose the right door stop.
Examine The Door
The first thing you will want to look at is the door that it will be placed on. Is it a slab door or an exterior door? If it’s a slab door, then having something heavy like metal would not work well because the weight may cause damage to the floor.
How Many You Need
Do you need just one type of stop, or do you want multiple types if someone forgets their own and needs to borrow one? If you use door stops on a door that everyone uses, then having something like metal or rubber types would be best.
If You Need Something Lightweight and Strong
For example, plastic ones would be the best if the door is in an area of high traffic or it’s constantly being opened and closed without care – such as for emergency exits. For example, door stops made of rubber and metal are great options because they’re lightweight but strong enough to keep a door open for an extended period without sliding or breaking down.
Doorstops are an incredible tool to have, but your specific needs and door should determine the one you choose.
