Bobrick B-687 Surface-Mounted Door Bumper

The B-687 projects 2-1/8 inches (55mm) off the wall face, with a 2 x 2 inch (50 x 50mm) mounting flange. That projection is what sets your door swing clearance, so measure from the finished wall to where the door leaf or lever will land. If the lever or push plate on your door reaches further than 2-1/8 inches past the wall, the door will hit the trim before the bumper stops it and you need a deeper stop or a floor-mounted one.

That is exactly the duty this one is built for. The B-687 is 22 gauge stainless steel with a bright polished finish, and the contact end is a black neoprene bumper on a black nylon post, so the part that takes the hit is not metal on metal and will not mark the door. Stainless resists the moisture and cleaning chemicals in a commercial washroom better than plated steel, which is why it shows up in high-traffic restrooms and corridors.

One finish only: bright polished stainless steel. That is the mirror-bright look, not satin or brushed. If the grab bars, dispensers, and hinges in the room are satin stainless, this bumper will read noticeably brighter beside them, so match to your polished trim or accept the contrast before you order a whole floor's worth.

A wall bumper like the B-687 works when the door swings into a wall within reach of the door's arc and you have solid backing at the strike point. It keeps the floor clear, which matters for mopping and for wheelchair paths. A floor stop is what you want when the door swings into open space with no wall behind it, or when the wall is glass, a partition, or hollow drywall with no blocking. The 2-1/8 inch projection on this one only helps if the door actually reaches the wall.

No. The striking face is black neoprene on a black nylon post, so rubber meets the door, not steel. The stainless is only the flange and sleeve at the wall. On a painted or laminate door that means no chipped finish at the contact point, though the black rubber will leave a light witness mark on a very light-colored door over time, same as any neoprene bumper.
