I purchased 2 of these. 1 of them broke after cycling it less than 10 times. 1 of the 2 tabs that holds the flat spring in place snapped right off. In the picture the left is the bad one and the right hasn't broken yet.

Cheaply constructed
Purchased 4 new kick door stoppers and all 4 door stopper lips broke off. Cheaply made.

Easy to install and very sturdy door stop. I installed these at my church a couple of weeks ago and they are performing very well. The only reason I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 is because one of the screws snapped off during installation. They are made of brass too, so they are softer than regular steel screws - I used a spare screw (stainless steel) that was the same size. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the overall quality of this stop.

Not well designed
I was very happy with this at first, but only after about a month, and I don't use it everyday, it wouldn't stay in the upright position. I noticed a spring on the floor and though I could just put it back and all would be good. Well, there are two tabs that old that spring in place, and on the floor was one of the tabs along with the spring. See my photo for what I am referring to.

Good value for money, easy to install
Easy to instal, minimal assembly. Only problem is that I have a smooth tile floor and with a strong gust, it will not hold the door open.

Cheap pot metal
Stem snapped after about a week. Just from trying to lift the stop up with my foot. Perhaps it would be okay in a home setting, used infrequently and carefully. Far too fragile for a warehouse environment where's it's kicked up/down several times per day.

Screws broke
Couldn’t even screw into a piece of wood without the heads of the screws falling off. This was the reault of a basic phillips head. Garbage

Adds to my safety going through the door!
Finally got the idea of putting this on my porch door. I used to have one on a exterior door many, many years ago but had forgotten how great these are.
Every time id have to walk up several porch steps and pull the porch door outwards towards me while loaded down with shopping bags -nearly falling backwards on several occasions! I put this on yesterday and i love it - just pull it down once and it stays put while everybody files in/out until were done.
I would really recommend this to anyone, especially where holding open an out-swing door can put you off-balance.

What can I say, it's a kick down door stop. It was easy to attach, works as it should and keeps my door where I want it. Only thing I could add is that there is another, almost identical door stop in the same section that does not have the rubber tip and it is cheaper. This one won't mar my hard wood floors, so the rubber tip was important to me.

Door stops should last for years, not 2 or 3 months!
I fully agree with the other comments, but I went a step further: I removed the "spring," and it is NOT spring metal, which is the problem. It is a 1/4" wide by about 1/32" thick piece of aluminum. Since I could bend it by hand I knew it wasn't spring metal. So, how much did the manufacturer save by using aluminum instead of spring metal (steel) - I don't know... maybe $0.02 per unit? I know that this was a little over $6 (with tax), but even at that price it was NO value. Had it lasted a year the value would have been "fair." I would have gladly paid an extra dollar to get a doorstop that lasted 2 years or more.

The kick-stop that was on the garage door when we bought the house gradually became less and less effective as the rubber foot wore down. We finally replaced it with this one a couple of weeks ago. It was very easy to install where the old one was - no need to drill any holes. And, it is working very nicely. Looks good too.

Opened the package and it literally fell apart before even taking the screws out of the package. I had bought one a couple weeks ago. Did fine on the door, for only 3 days, then it fell apart. Not worth the time and effort to use these, they are NOT of any good quality.

Flimsy, breaks quickly
Pieces of metal broke off almost immediately. We bought two and it happened to both. One of them broke apart in our hands before we even got it on the door. The other one broke within a few days of infrequent use. The metal tab that keeps the doorstop in the up position fell off, and then the doorstop part flopped down all the time. It would still keep the door open but I had to use my hands to lift the doorstop to close the door, which defeated the purpose of buying the kick-down type.

Perfect solution for a door with a closer attached. Easy to block door in open position with a simple tap of shoes. Stays in place both open and closed effortless. Good quality for price point.

A small metal piece that gives the kickdown the ability to stay in the up position failed on numerous kickdowns that I purchased. This metal piece would drop out of the bottom and render the kickdown useless. I was forced to duct tape the metal piece in before installation.
