Delaney 3" Spring Door Stop

A spring wall stop like the Delaney 3 inch works by absorbing the swing on a coiled spring shaft, so it takes the hit rather than the wall face. Overall length is 3 inches, which is what sets how far the door is stopped off the wall. If your lever projects more than that from the door face, the lever will reach the wall before the stop does, and you want a longer wall stop or a floor stop instead. Measure from the wall to the tip of the lever and compare it against the 3 inch length before ordering.

A spring door stop only cushions the door at the end of its swing; it does not hold the door open. For a hold open function, the Ives WS20 is a manual wall holder with a hinged strike, so the door is caught and released by hand. The Ives WS40 is an automatic wall holder with a heavy duty bumper pad, which catches the door on contact. Both are made for drywall and masonry walls in the WS20 case, and either replaces the stop only function with a stop and hold.

The Delaney 3 inch spring door stop is a zinc bodied spring type wall stop that flexes to absorb the door. Where a corridor takes constant traffic and you want a rigid stop instead, the Ives WS33 wall door stop is rated heavy duty and takes a replaceable rubber bumper, so the wear item can be changed without pulling the base off the wall. The Ives WS11 is the other heavy duty option with a replaceable rubber bumper and is made for both drywall and masonry walls.

The Delaney spring door stop has a 3 inch overall length, which is fixed. When the baseboard or wall sits further back than that reach, the ABH RM Series wall door stops and the ABH RMS Series wall door stops are both offered with multiple length options, so the projection can be matched to the actual gap rather than shimming the base out.

Two: 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed and 619 Satin Nickel. If you are matching hinges and levers already on the building, 613 pairs with oil rubbed bronze trim and 619 with satin nickel or brushed chrome trim. One detail worth knowing on the dark option: the black tip is on the US10B finish, so the rubber bumper tip reads black rather than matching the metal.

The Delaney spring stop is a single 3 inch length in two finishes, so it standardizes well when every opening has the same wall clearance. Where clearances vary door to door, a series that offers multiple lengths is easier to spec across a fleet: the ABH RM Series and ABH RMS Series wall door stops are both offered with multiple length options, so you can hold one series and vary the length per opening.

A spring stop stands off the wall on a sprung shaft and absorbs the door swing over its length, 3 inches on the Delaney. A wall bumper is a short pad on a base plate that sits nearly flush and only cushions the last fraction of an inch, so it works where the handle barely clears the wall. The Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette is that flush style. Pick the spring stop when the lever needs real standoff, the bumper when the door face is what contacts the wall.

No. The Ives WS40 automatic wall holder is a light duty unit even though it carries a heavy duty bumper pad, while the Ives WS11 and Ives WS33 wall stops are both heavy duty. If you are standardizing a facility on one duty level, the WS40 sits below the WS11 and WS33 and is chosen for its automatic hold open action rather than as a duty match.

The Ives WS11 heavy duty wall stop is made for drywall and masonry, and the Ives WS20 manual wall holder is likewise for drywall and masonry applications. If the corridor walls in the building are block or concrete rather than stud and gypsum, those two are the ones described for that condition, with the WS11 covering stop only duty and the WS20 adding a hold open strike.

The Delaney 3 inch spring stop carries a black tip on the US10B finish and the tip is part of the assembly. Where tips are being destroyed by carts or door traffic, the Ives WS11 and the Ives WS33 are both heavy duty wall stops built around a replaceable rubber bumper, so maintenance stocks bumpers and swaps the worn part in place instead of replacing whole stops.

The 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed option is the match for oil rubbed bronze trim. Note the tip: on the US10B finish the bumper tip is black, so the contact point will not read bronze up close. On a run of doors that is usually invisible once installed, but if the stop sits at eye level in a lobby it is worth knowing before you order the fleet.

They are two separate ABH series of wall door stops. The RM Series and the RMS Series are each offered with multiple length options, so the series designation is what distinguishes the part identity when you are quoting or reordering. Specify RM or RMS explicitly on the purchase order, because the length option alone will not tell the two apart.
