National Hardware S825-521 8208 Magnetic Doorstops in Nickel, Satin Nickel

I have a bathroom door that sort of closes slowly all by itself. It doesn't help that the back of the door has a Cabidoor Cabinet attached so it makes it heavier. So to make sure my door stays open when I need it to - I got this. It works beautifully! The door securely stays open yet with just a slight tug it can also easily close.It stays behind the door when open so you do not even see it. Once you close the door you can see it, of course, but it looks just fine. Not unsightly at all like some other door thingies. And if you have cats there will never be the annoying springy thwong thwong sound. The only thing I have to say is that once in a while - maybe once per year or so - I have to just bend down and twist it slightly to tighten it fully on the wall again. I guess all the door openings and closings and the catching of the magnet and all can somewhat slightly turn the thing on the wall. Not a big issue at all - and it has never ever come off by itself or even very loose or anything. I am so glad I got this - it was a real game changer with that pesky door.

I've used this type of of door stop before and bought one of these to install in the "toilet room" in our master bathroom; the wife picked the color. After I installed it, it works perfectly(!), but the wife came in and said "Hmm, that's not the right color." Its in the "toilet room" of our master bath, you can't see it unless you have the door shut.... Still, it works perfectly.I've ordered 3 more of these for other locations in the house.This one was just as easy/hard to install as the others. The long piece that installs on the wall (typically) has three screws and dry-wall anchors, though I would use better anchors if it will be in a high traffic area. The smaller part is tricky to install - here is how I do it:Tape a piece of paper to the door over the location where the part will be installed.* Put the "door piece" on the magnet you just installed and close the door against it.* Trace the outline of the door piece on the paper, note that some markers will bleed through some papers and mark the door.* Disassemble the "door piece", removing the spring and "bumper" part and screw the screw plate back into the the outer shell* Align the outer shell to the outline on the the paper and mark the location of the two screw holes on the paper.* Set the door piece aside.* If you are drilling pilot holes, and you should be, drill your pilot holes. Otherwise, start the screws and then remove them.* Remove the paper from the door* Remove the screw plate from the outer shell and screw it onto the door* Reassemble the door piece.It does not matter if you did not install the door piece perfectly aligned with the magnetic piece, it will still work.

I've purchased over a dozen of these for my own homes, and just purchased 4 more for my parents home.They are wonderful!My first purchase was for a rental unit of ours. It's an old Victorian in the Railroad or Shotgun style of floor plan. The front door enters into a long, narrow hallway and I noticed that over time, the bottom of the front door got terribly scuffed from all the times people walked in with their hands full of things and had to keep kicking the door to keep it open.A traditional wedge door stop would work, but that means having to have one handy and also taking a few seconds to put it in place.This magnetic doorstop is the perfect solution. It's simple to install, is very attractive, has a strong hold even in a breezy doorway, and comes in lots of different finishes to match your existing hardware.I'm buying a bunch for my parents because my mom uses a walker and is having trouble with her walker scuffing up their doors. In their case, the strength of the magnet is pretty darn perfect - - - it's strong enough to keep even their breeziest back door open, but not so strong that she isn't able to easily just reach behind her to release it as she walks through. My mom is teeny and not very strong (5' and 89 lbs).All in all, one of my favorite finds. Who knew a door stop could make such a difference.

This product works very nicely and is pretty stylish. I haven't seen many similar products like this out there.The product will ONLY work correctly if the magnet end (post side fastened to the wall) is aligned PERFECTLY with the spring/button end mounted on the door. If it's slightly off, the magnet won't have good contact and won't hold the door very well. The button/spring end is concave and is designed to have the round end of the magnetic post fit in the cavity to have a good contact area. There's no leeway or way to make minor adjustments once the holes are drilled. You'll end up having to unscrew, relocate the spring/button end and re-drill holes in your door.I recommend fastening the post end to the wall and with the button/spring end attached to the post magnet, open the door all the way and press the door against the device. Mark the door by tracing around the base of the button/spring end. From there, unscrew the bottom of the button/spring end and center it in the circle drawn. This will ensure that both sides are properly aligned and you have good magnetic contact between the post magnet and the door.... Now all I have to do is putty up all those extra holes I made in the door.
