Door stops

Which door stop should I choose?

The choice of a door stop depends mainly on your setup.

A wall-mounted door stop effectively protects your wall when the door opens against a partition. Mounted directly on the wall, it absorbs the impact of the door before the handle can damage it.

The floor-mounted door stop, on the other hand, limits how far the door opens while protecting walls, baseboards, furniture, or a shower enclosure. It is a solution particularly well-suited for heavy doors, large openings, or situations where the wall does not allow for the installation of a wall-mounted door stop.

Depending on your interior decor, you can choose a modern door stop, a brass door stop, a black door stop, a stainless steel door stop, a wooden door stop, or finishes in bronze, satin nickel, or gold to coordinate with your door handles.

Doorstops for Every Interior Style

Because a door stopper is visible every day, its appearance deserves just as much attention as that of a doorknob or a furniture knob.

Our collection is available in a wide range of materials and finishes to blend seamlessly into any interior design project:
– brass door stops to add warmth to an interior and complement gold or solid brass handles;
– black door stops, ideal for contemporary or industrial settings;
stainless steel door stops for minimalist interiors and high-traffic areas;
– bronze or satin-finish nickel door stops for a more classic or timeless look;
– designer door stops with clean lines that blend discreetly into contemporary architecture.

Whether you're looking for a black wall-mounted door stop, a brass floor-mounted door stop, a gold designer door stop, or a discreet door stop, you'll find a model at La Quincaillerie designed to blend seamlessly into your home.

Our collection features modern, classic-chic, industrial, and Scandinavian-style door stops to complement any decor style. Depending on your needs, choose a floor-mounted door stop, a wall-mounted door stop, a magnetic door stop to keep the door open, or an adhesive door stop—ideal when you can’t drill into the floor or walls.

Round, square, hexagonal, angled, minimalist, or more statement-making—our designer door stops are available in a wide variety of shapes, materials, and finishes. Made of brass, matte black, stainless steel, bronze, or satin nickel, they complement your door handles seamlessly and help create a cohesive design down to the smallest detail.

Whether you’re looking for a stylish door stop for a contemporary interior, a discreet door stop for a renovation of a Haussmann-style apartment, or a finish that matches your door handles for your country home, our selection has something to suit every layout and every taste.

Architects and interior designers, in fact, prioritize material continuity by coordinating door handles, window handles, furniture handles, coat hooks, and door stops to match the same finish. This consistency lends the project a more elegant and polished look.

Installation Tips: Where Should You Install a Door Stopper?

A door stopper isn't just there to cushion an impact. Its main purpose is to stop the door before the handle or latch can hit the wall.

A poorly positioned stop protects… but it’s too late. Every time the door is opened, the handle risks scratching the paint, cracking the plaster, or damaging the tile.

Before You Begin

If you’re installing a floor-mounted door stop, make sure your flooring can be drilled into. If you have radiant floor heating, delicate tile, or natural stone, opt for a wall-mounted door stop or an adhesive model.

Wall stop or floor stop: Which one should you choose?

Are you trying to decide between a wall-mounted door stop and a floor-mounted door stop?

The choice depends mainly on:
– the flooring,
– the type of door opening,
– the position of the handle,
– the available space behind the door.

In both cases, the goal remains the same: to prevent the handle from touching the wall.

Where should you install a floor-mounted door stop?

For optimal protection, open your door to the maximum angle you want.

Next, position the stop so that the rubber pad comes into contact with the door before the handle can reach the wall.

In practice, the stop is generally installed 2 to 3 cm beyond the projection of the handle. This distance may vary depending on the handle model, its length, and its opening angle. We therefore recommend testing the fit before drilling the final holes.

Choose an adhesive door stopper if you don't want to drill into your floor, or a magnetic door stopper if you want to be able to keep your door open as you like.

Where should you install a wall-mounted door stop?

A wall stop is usually placed on the baseboard so that the cushion absorbs the impact directly. You can also position the door stop higher up on your wall—at the top corner of your door.
Be sure to choose a stop that is long enough to extend beyond the depth of your doorknob. Again, testing it beforehand will ensure effective protection.

Tip from La Quincaillerie: Before permanently securing your door stop, open the door all the way and make sure that it is the stop that halts the door’s movement… and never the handle.

Effective protection in every room of the house

Door stops are a natural fit throughout the home:
– in an entryway to protect the walls,
– in a living room to protect the baseboards,
– in a bedroom to prevent bumps against a closet,
– in a kitchen to protect the cabinets,
– in a bathroom to protect a shower wall, vanity, or radiator.

A well-chosen door stopper extends the life of your doors, door handles, and interior decor.

Which finish should you choose for your door stop?

A black door stop will complement a contemporary or industrial decor, while a brass door stop will add warmth and sophistication to a classic or modern interior. Stainless steel door stops appeal for their simplicity and durability, while bronze or satin nickel finishes blend naturally into more timeless designs. By coordinating your doorstops, door handles, and furniture handles, you can create a cohesive interior down to the smallest details.
