Door Stop: Jamb Stops, Hold-Open Stops, Door Buffers and Rubber Bumpers, When to Use Each and How to Fit
A door stop is the part that limits how far a door opens or how it sits when closed. The term covers jamb stops inside the frame, hold-open stops that keep a door open and small buffers that stop noise. It is different from a floor stopper, although the words overlap. This guide covers each kind, when to use it, fitting height and indicative prices. It belongs with door hardware and complements door stoppers.
Jamb stops
The jamb stop is the strip inside the frame that the door closes against, so it sits flush. A damaged stop lets the door swing through.
Hold-open stops
Hold-open stops keep a door open with a hook, a magnet or a friction hinge. Choose one that fits the door weight.
Buffers and bumpers
Small rubber buffers stop slamming and protect the frame. Replace them as they wear.
Fitting height
Fit near the handle height for hold-open stops, and at the closing edge for buffers.
Indicative price note
Door stops are low-cost items. Indicative ranges are about PKR 30 to 300.
