3 in. Bright Brass Magnetic Door Stop with Catch

This magnetic door catch is exactly what I wanted! The magnet is strong, and the inner spring is sturdy and shock absorbant. I was able to install both sides in about 15 minutes. Bonus: I installed mine at the top of my bathroom door, so the longer piece on the wall doubles as a "hook" to hang up a few garments. Highly recommend!

I can't believe I haven't discovered these clever door stops before now. I had one door in our new house that absolutely could not be adjusted to stay open. I finally found these magnetic stops and they are a dream. Easy to install and does the job.

Disappointed as this broke less than one week after installing. the magnet part broke.

I have a door that I usually want to stay open, but it always closes because the door frame is crooked. This doorstop is perfect for holding the door open. The magnet is a good strength for indoor doors. The catch is spring loaded to absorb shock. I mounted mine with the catch on the door and the doorstop (long part) on the baseboard. I noticed on some of the pictures that some people reversed this, which should work okay also. Since most inside doors are hollow, you probably want to keep the screw holes near the edge of the door. The door is held at 3+7/8 inches from the baseboard (or wall). Be sure to line up the catch and doorstop carefully before drilling holes.

This is the perfect way to keep a door pinned open to the wall. Way better than those kind that screw into the baseboards. I put the small end into the wall and the long piece into the top corner of the back of the door and it works perfect. It so secure that even when I open the window for fresh air and the wind is blowing....the door doesn't slam shut. It is the perfect length to keep the door knob from hitting the wall too.

No more slamming doors! Now we can open the windows and let a breeze through the house. We used these at our old home and am installing them in our new home. They also let us keep the self-closing doors to the garage open so we can bring in the groceries. Great product.

Works good for a regular interior door. Was not strong enough to hold open the door to our garage, granted it’s a heavier door, and has a few self closing hinges. Still a good product.

Easy to assemble, we needed a solution to hold a door as fully open as possible without using a hook... and this works GREAT! The door in question is not wide to begin with and its natural swing hangs a little away from fully open. No danger of the doorknob punching a hole in the wall because the knob is past a corner, so we wanted to take advantage of that little bit of wasted space and open the door farther. Worried that the long end might get in the way of little feet in our home, we attached the long end to the bottom of the door and the short end with its spring-loaded silver center (to absorb shock) to the baseboard. Taking advantage of the very forgiving spherical socket assembly, we were able to get this set mounted PAST the corner of the wall so the bottom of the door is almost-but-not-quite right up against the baseboard. We get maximum opening with little chance of damage anywhere. Small details, all of it, but it's the small details that get things right; no more wasted space behind this door.

INSTRUCTIONS WRONG On the wall side, **DRILL 5/32" HOLES for the plastic wall anchors!** (as shown in the online picture). Better yet, buy your own higher quality wall anchors Package says 7/32" which is WRONG!! my plastic wall anchors spun in the drywall and i lost one to the other side. This ruined the wall with 3 holes. I was able to offset the holes by 60 degrees, decided to forget the wall anchors, and now i have 6 holes in a circle. Pretty annoyed! I don't even understand how these wall anchors are supposed to work well. They're not ribbed to stop the direction of motion. Rather they're ribbed to prevent rotation... which is helpful during installation and never afterwards! I can just foresee them sliding right out. However other reviewers seem to indicate it works well, so perhaps it's just me. Drilling directly into the wall, I hope this last a while under daily use. So far seems solid. 3 screws seems about right. Dropped a star for this issue. Rest of the product works correctly. Other thoughts: (1) Be very careful aligning the the two halves. I was much more careful than the instructions described. One major difference - After installing the door side, I attached the wall side half, with everything assembled, so I was able to draw a circle on the wall. This helped with aligning everything much better. Even so, I was still a tiny bit off. (2) The door side has a nice strong spring and feels high quality. (3) The backplate of the door side spins off using friction from your finger, not indicated in instructions.

That was so easy! 15 mins. watching the installment instructions first. Took unit apart, marked wall/ floor molding. screws in. marked door by using magnet on wall to door. mark with pencil. take apart, mark screw holes, screw in post, worked. looks great and so simple! holds fine indoor in the bathroom. Magnet is plenty strong for indoor use. Spouse wants the unit on top. 10 minutes later moved.
