Review on πŸšͺ National Hardware 4-inch Satin Chrome Door Stops, Model N273-532 by Kelly Noonan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stable and very efficient construction

Construction: Stable and well made. Everything is solid metal. The leg works on my concrete floors. It holds a solid wood door approximately 8 feet high and 42 inches wide with an automatic closure. Installation Tips: To ensure the stopper is installed at the correct height, here are a few tips. intend to use cork the most. This will ensure you account for different floor materials/heights. - Bring the stopper to the stop position (lower position). - Place the stopper against the door and slide down until the foot touches the floor. - Mark holes. - But instead of drilling dead center to the mounting holes, drill about 1/16-1/8 BELOW the center of the hole. This ensures that the stopper has a good bite to the ground when lowered. Mine is used on a concrete floor. If you have carpet, depending on the thickness, you need to take this into account. You may need to go a little further, but it depends on how much pressure you previously applied when inserting the cork into the carpet before marking. Hope that helps.
