Delaney Gooseneck Solid Brass Floor Stop

Height off the floor is the difference. The Delaney gooseneck floor stop comes in 1-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch sizes. Pick the short one where the door bottom sits close to the finished floor and a low bumper will still catch the door face. Go to 2-3/4 inches where there is thick carpet, a raised threshold, or a larger undercut and a short stop would pass under the door instead of stopping it. Measure from finished floor to the bottom of the door leaf before you choose.

Gooseneck when the door has clearance under it and you need the bumper to reach up and meet the door face, or when you want the contact point higher on the leaf. A low dome or cylindrical bumper is better on tile or hardwood where the door sits tight to the floor and a tall stop becomes a trip point. Low-profile alternatives include the Orca Hardware 23LP dome floor stop, the Emtek 2257 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper, and the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor bumper at 1-1/2 inches.

The Delaney Gooseneck Solid Brass Floor Stop is a floor stop. If the opening needs the door held open, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 Automatic Floor Stop and Holder is a heavy-duty stop-and-holder, and the SOSS MDH Magnetic Door Holder and Stop holds magnetically at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch. The Orca 22HD Series gooseneck is listed with a door holder function as well.

Two other gooseneck-style floor stops sit in the same role. The Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop uses the same tall arched post shape, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series Goose Neck Floor Stop comes with a black tip and is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, with a door holder function. The Delaney gooseneck is solid brass and is offered in 1 3/8 inch and 2 3/4 inch sizes in 619 Satin Nickel, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, and 625 Bright Chrome.

Low-rise floor bumpers do the same job without the tall post. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low-rise dome floor stop with a gray tip, the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop is a dome-style stop, and the Emtek 2254 Floor Door Bumper measures 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. The Delaney Gooseneck Solid Brass Floor Stop uses a raised gooseneck arm in 1 3/8 inch and 2 3/4 inch sizes.

Three: 619 Satin Nickel, 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, and 625 Bright Chrome. All three are offered in both the 1-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch heights, so you can hold one finish across a building even where door undercuts vary from unit to unit. Those BHMA finish numbers are the same codes used on hinges and lever trim, which makes matching existing hardware straightforward.

Solid brass. The substrate is brass throughout, not a plated steel body, which is why it holds up in corridors and entry openings where a stamped stop gets bent. The finish is applied over the brass.

Two close cousins in the same goose-neck shape: the Emtek 2253 Goose Style door stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with a black tip. The Orca is catalogued as a door holder rather than a plain stop and lists a 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it is not a straight visual swap for the Delaney if you only want a stop.

Yes, within reason. Buying the Delaney gooseneck in a single finish and stocking both the 1-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch heights lets maintenance match the look on every door while adjusting for carpet versus hard flooring. Where a unit has a very tight door undercut, drop to a low-profile bumper such as the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches rather than forcing the gooseneck.

For most interior office and multi-family openings, a solid brass gooseneck handles normal traffic. For heavy commercial abuse or where the stop gets kicked, step up to a heavy duty dome stop like the Ives FS13 or FS17, or the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop where tampering is a concern. The Ives FS13 also uses a replaceable rubber bumper, which matters if you are maintaining hundreds of doors.

Not visually or dimensionally. Deltana's UFB series are solid brass round and square puck-style bumpers - the UFB4505 at 1-1/2 inch, the UFBP4505 pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch, the square UFBS138 at 1-3/8 inch, and the decorative UFBD3505 at 3-1/2 inch. They stop the door at the base, while the Delaney gooseneck reaches up on an arm and is sold in 1 3/8 inch and 2 3/4 inch sizes. Both are solid brass, so finishes can be coordinated, but the contact height differs.
