Doorstops
Although you learn as a small child that you should close the door, there are situations where you would like to keep the door open. That's exactly what door stops are for. In this article, we explain why they are so practical, what different types there are and what you should know before you buy them.
Different types of door stops
There are a variety of different door stops on the market, each with their own benefits and uses. Today we would like to introduce you to two types
Normal door stops
Normal door stops are often equipped with a rubber bumper that is mounted on the door to protect it from damage. This type of door stop is useful if you want to fix the door in a certain position. Another variant are door stops with latching technology: Here, a part is mounted on the top of the door and a holding mechanism on the wall. When required, the hold-open is engaged in the retaining mechanism and holds the door securely in place.
Magnetic door holder
Magnetic door holders, as the name suggests, use the power of magnets to hold the door in place. Here, a magnet is usually used as a door holder and a counterpart is mounted on the wall or floor. When you open the door, the two components of the magnetic door holder attract and hold the door open safely and reliably.
Look out for weight restrictions
Door stops - be it a magnetic door holder or a door stop that is fixed to the floor - are real powerhouses. Nevertheless, there are limits to the weight of doors they can hold. The following groups are usually found:
- Door weight up to 4 kg
- Door weight up to 6 kg
- door weight 10 to 20 kg
- Door weight up to 40 kg
- Door weight up to 80 kg
So before you buy, find out exactly what the weight restrictions are for the particular door check and the weight of your door
Why is a door stop so useful?
Door stops are true multi-talents that provide comfort and safety in many everyday situations. Here are four good reasons why you should consider installing one:

All you need to do is open the window.
Easy cleaning thanks to door holder
Whether you're cleaning, vacuuming or mopping - an open door is worth its weight in gold when it comes to cleaning. With a door holder, you have both hands free and can scurry through the flat undisturbed.
A useful helper for transport, moving and shopping
Whether you're moving house, rearranging furniture or bringing the week's shopping into the house - you often have both hands full and wish the door would just open. With a door holder it is. You can fix it in an open position and have both hands free for the task at hand.
Welcome: Keeping it open for visitors and customers
