Delaney 3" HD Rigid Door Stop

The Delaney HD rigid door stop is 3 inches long off a 1 inch diameter base, so it holds the door face roughly 3 inches from the wall once the bumper contacts. That is enough clearance for most lever trim and knob sets, but measure from the wall face to the outermost point of your lever with the door open: if the lever sticks out more than 3 inches, the handle hits the wall before the stop does and you need a longer stop or a floor stop instead.

It mounts to the wall. The Delaney HD rigid stop is a straight, non-hinged bumper that anchors into the wall behind the door swing and takes the door on its tip. If the door swings into an open wall or a partition you cannot anchor into, a floor-mounted stop is the better choice, because a wall stop is only as good as the blocking or anchor behind it.

The Delaney HD rigid door stop is a fixed 3 inch length, so the standoff is what it is. The ABH RM Series and ABH RMS Series wall door stops are both offered with multiple length options, which is the route when the baseboard or wall setback puts the strike point beyond a 3 inch projection. Measure from the finished wall to the point on the door the stop should contact, then pick the ABH length that lands on the door face and not the lever or the glass.

The Ives WS11 is a heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, mountable in drywall or masonry. The Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop is a one-piece rigid stop with a 3 inch length and a 1 inch base diameter on a zinc base, so the bumper tip is not a serviceable part. On a high-traffic opening where the strike face wears out before the stop does, the WS11 lets maintenance change the bumper instead of the whole stop.

Six finishes: 605 Bright Brass, 625 Bright Chrome, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, US15A Antique Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, and 622 Matte Black. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 605, 619, 625 and 613 will read the same as the levers, hinges and pulls you already have in those codes. One thing to know before you order for a fleet: US10B, US15A and US19 come with a black tip rather than a matching one, so the bumper end will not blend the way the plated finishes do.

Zinc base metal. Zinc die cast is the usual body material for a residential and light commercial wall bumper: it plates well, which is why the finish range covers brass, chrome, nickel and matte black. For a high-traffic commercial opening where the stop takes repeated hard hits, a wrought or cast heavy duty stop like the Ives WS11 or WS33 is the sturdier call.

Anchoring is on you, and it decides the job. The Delaney stop is a zinc-bodied wall bumper with a 1 inch base; the fastener has to reach solid backing, and into hollow drywall with no blocking it will pull out. For openings where you know you are hitting masonry or block, the Ives WS11 and WS33 are offered for drywall and masonry applications, so the anchoring is covered either way.

The Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper with a regular rosette, which gives the wall side a finished trim ring rather than a bare base. The Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop has a zinc base with a 1 inch base diameter and comes in bright brass, bright chrome, satin bronze oil-rubbed, antique nickel, satin nickel, and matte black. Where the spec calls for solid brass and a rosette to match adjacent trim, the Emtek 2255 is the closer match; where a compact zinc stop in a broad finish range is enough, the Delaney covers it.

The Delaney rigid stop is supplied as a complete unit with the tip in place, and in US10B, US15A and US19 that tip is black. If a serviceable bumper matters to you, because you are maintaining a lot of doors and want to swap a chewed-up tip rather than pull the whole stop off the wall, the Ives WS11 and WS33 are built with a replaceable rubber bumper.

No handing. A wall stop is a straight bumper that mounts in line with the door swing, so the same 3 inch Delaney part works on a left hand or right hand opening. Order by finish and quantity only. The one thing that varies opening to opening is where on the wall it lands, which follows the door width and the swing, not the hand.

For a job where the stop is meant to be seen, the Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper mounted on a regular rosette, which gives a finished escutcheon against the wall rather than a bare base. The Delaney 3 inch is the plainer, harder-working option: zinc body, 1 inch base, six finishes, meant to disappear.

Both are heavy duty wall door stops with a replaceable rubber bumper. The WS11 is listed for drywall and masonry mounting, and the WS33 is offered as the WS33/WS33X pair. For a facility standardizing wall stops across a building, either Ives heavy duty stop keeps the bumper serviceable; the Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop is the fixed-length zinc alternative when a single 3 inch projection suits every opening.
