Door stops, also called door stoppers, are essential to ensure doors do not damage walls when being swung open. Whether you do not have a door stop near your door or the one you have no longer has the rubber tip, it is time to either get a door stopper or replace your current one.

There are various types of doorstops to choose from, which vary in size, style and design. Different door stops are also designed to be installed in specific locations. For instance, skirting door stops, also known as a baseboard door stop or skirting board door stop, are designed to be fitted behind the wall on the skirting board.

What are the main types of door stops?

Wall mounted door stops and floor mounted door stops are the two main types of door stops. As the name suggests, wall-mounted door stops are installed on the wall and floor door stops are mounted on the floor. Sometimes, door wedges are also referred to as door stops. However, wedges act more as a door holder which is used in front of a door to keep it open.

Door stops vs door wedges

Door stops are used behind the door and prevent damage to the wall behind the door. Door wedges hold doors in place to keep them from swinging altogether. Wedges are often used for easy access in areas where there is a high amount of traffic coming in and out of rooms.
