Review on Enhanced Satin Chrome Kickdown Door Stop - National Hardware N273-557 V239, 5 Inch by Kimberly Perry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not perfect (but there is a solution)

The only issue I had with this item is that it has a lot of wiggle room when it's upright. I had to pad the sides to make it more snug, but still not perfect. I would probably look for another model if I needed another. UPDATE #1: Had to deduct a few stars because it barely stays upright after a year of use. Wouldn't buy this product again. UPDATE #2: I was about to replace this doorstop with a different model, so I unscrewed it from the door, and then I had an idea: why not put a small screw in the door for its head to reinforce the weak spring. I did just that - i.e. screwed a button head screw into the door just below the doorstop spring - and the problem was solved: now holds the doorstop in place. I wish I didn't have to do this but hey it seems to be working, at least the doorstop hasn't clicked in months. Added star.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
