Solid Mental Magnetic Door Stop, Wall Mounted, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Very easy to install, and looks + works great! Just the right amount if magnetic force!!

I installed one this morning on a 36" wide solid core 6 panel bathroom door that wouldn't stay open. There were no instructions included in the box with 2 of the door stops. I had looked at what I could online and Amazon's web site to see how to install them.1. Remove old door stop.2. Determine if you want the new one on the wall or floor. That will determine the hardware needed. Hollow core doors not the best to use these on as there are 2 screws needed to put the mounting plate on the back of the door. Solid core doors are best. I think a wall mounted stop is better as it doesn't put pressure on the longer piece if it is mounted on the wall versus 90 degrees on a floor.3. Put the magnetic base on the end of the door stop as it both parts were attached to the door and wall. That way you can line the stop up where it will need to go on both the wall and door. Separate the two parts.4. Unscrew the face cover at the base of the longer stop that will hide the screws once installed. It unscrews like a lid on a jar. Set it aside. Use a pair of NEEDLE NOSED PLIERS on the back of the opposite base and unscrew the face cover from the base plate with a spring and button inside. Set the cover, spring, button aside along with the 2 shorter screws.5. Put the base plate on the magnetic door stop end again to line it up by holding both in place, someone to hold the door helps, while marking holes in the 3 centers where the doorstop will go on the wall, and then mount the base plate on the wall using the 3 longer screws. Drill holes slightly smaller than the screws. Too big a hole and the screws won't have any bite. If you have to use the 3 plastic wall mollies to anchor the screws, you will need bigger holes. Make sure to only put small marks with the drill until you double check the hole positions before drilling deeper holes.6. Mount the door stop using the 3 longer screws. Screw on the base cover to cover screws.7. Line up the base plate against the door by leaving it attached to the magnetic end of the stop already attached to the wall. Best to use a pen and draw a circle around it on the door.8. Drill 2 holes in the door making sure the holes are in line with the plate holes. The holes don't need to be drilled more than about 5/8" deep. Mount the plate to the door with the flat side on the door. Insert the button into the cap facing outward, put the spring inside, smaller end toward the button, push the cover toward the door on top of the base plate. Screw it on. Done.9. Open the door to make sure the button recesses a little as the door is pushed up against it. The magnet will hold the door open now. Easy to pull the door shut.The longer steel part (expansion anchor) and plastic mollies would be used if you mount the stop to a wall with no wood behind it to hold the screws.

I bought this to try at work and was pleased when it was delivered. It is sturdy and felt heavy-duty. It was easily installed and really works for the kitchen door as it keeps the door open when we need it. The magnet works well. You cannot throw open the door and expect it to catch, we open it and allow the magnet to catch and it stays open until will pull it closed. Our kitchen door is a heavy handmade solid wood door at the villa I manage. I will be buying more for the rest of the villa doors for sure. It is also great that it can be installed in more than one way. Definitely a great buy!!!!

Door stop is great. Magnet is strong. Only complaint are the chrome screws are cheap and broke easy while using a normal hand screwdriver. Luckily, I was able to remove the screw with a pair of vise grips since there was a 1/4 of it sticking out of my door.If you buy this door stop I would highly recommend that you predrilled holes in your door and baseboard before screwing in the door stop or buy better screws, but if you predrilled the holes the screws should be fine.

High quality magnetic doorstop installed easily. Good balance of door holding force and ease of use. Attractive shape and finish. I did not use the large supplied wall anchor and find the installation to be secure without it.

These were pretty easy to install and work well. The magnets are about the right strength for my situation, which was for a pair of doors between two rooms in the house. The magnets are strong enough to hold the doors open, but not hard to overcome when we want to close them. The spring loaded catch is nice.

This is a very nice quality door stopper and looks good as well. Once installed, it works perfectly and meets my needs. Now for what you need to know before choosing to install this product into a hollow core door.Modern hollow core doors are essentially thick pressed cardboard and are very thin. This stopper comes with two types of anchors to mount it. One is an expanding sleeve over post type anchor. You drill a hole large enough for the anchor to o into the door and then tighten a nut on the threaded end which pulls the post into the sleeve to expand it, which is supposed to hold it in place. Unfortunately, the thin door material didn't provide enough surface for the sleeve to expand into to hold it. Okay, on to method #2; typical hollow wall (drywall) anchors that you get with pretty much any wall mounting kit. Same issue with the door's thickness not allowing the anchor to stay put and as I drove the screws in, the anchor just spun in the hole.My solution: Self-Drilling Drywall Anchors. There are many available on Amazon or at you local hardware store. I already had holes drilled for the provided anchors, so the self-drilling ones just screwed right into those holes. I used a dab of craft glue (E6000) on the head of the anchor to ensure that they wouldn't just start spinning like the other anchors did. This worked well and seems to be a better solution than what was provided with the stopper.

Excellent product and works great!
