Should I Order Standard Or Large?
Our Standard Doorstop is available in a wide range of colours and in both straight & angled types. The standard angled type is 45°
Following customer requests, we now have a larger 150mm version of our Standard (Angled) Doorstop available – ideal for protecting wall-mounted lanterns against swinging doors! The angle on this version is 22½° with other angles available.
How To Measure & Fit Your DoorStop
If in doubt, we suggest making a cardboard angle guide such as this to check your door alignment & decide on the best angle of doorstop to install. Make one for each size & angle combination that you’re considering! (Check out the gallery at foot of page for more ideas)
For best results and to avoid doorstop damage…
Please ensure that the opened door is hitting the doorstop square on, rather than at an angle.
Your doorstop needs to be placed at the right position on the wall to match the doorstop magnet angle type & to suit the door angle. This is essential for your doorstop to work properly and ensures that you get the best hold strength from your doorstop & magnets (where fitted). Please use our suggested cardboard cutouts shown above to ensure you get the correct choice of angle – 22½°, 45°, 60° or 90°
We’ve seen a few instances where clients have tried to fit the doorstops in such a way as to get another inch or two of opening from the door – but the door/magnet doesn’t then meet the doorstop rubber square on and either fails to hold or causes damage.

If you’re not sure how the different angles on some doorstop models will actually look, check out the templates that some of our clients have made to help them guage where a particular angle of stop will meet the door.
Remember, you want the doorstop to meet the door at a flush angle so the magnet/doorstop faces are in full contact for best results.
