Deltana BDH35 3-1/2" Baseboard Door Bumper, Heavy-Duty, Solid Brass

The Deltana BDH35 is a baseboard-mounted bumper, so it needs a baseboard to screw into. It stands 3-1/2 inches, so you want baseboard at least that tall to get both fasteners into trim rather than into drywall. Short baseboard or no trim at all, and you should be looking at a floor-mounted or hinge-mounted stop instead: the Delaney 2 inch round solid brass floor bumper mounts to the floor, and the Orca Hardware TH-3118 3-1/8 inch spring door stop mounts low on the door or wall.

Tip projection is 7/16 inch. That is the clearance you get between the door face and the baseboard once the door swings into it, which is enough to keep a lever handle or a thumbturn off the wall on most doors but not enough for a deep knob or a projecting pull. Measure the deepest thing on the door face before you commit to it.

Deltana lists the BDH35 as residential. For apartment interiors, condo units, and single-family work it is the right part. For a school corridor, a hospital wing, or any opening with a closer driving the door into the stop, go to a rigid commercial stop instead: the Hager 212 adjustable rigid stop with an 80 to 120 degree range or the Orca Hardware TH-30HD rigid door stop are the commercial-duty options.

The BDH35 is a fixed 3-1/2 inch bumper, so on taller trim it will sit low on the board rather than centred. Where you need the height to move, the Delaney solid brass baseboard door stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches, and the Emtek 2231 baseboard door stop is a fixed 4 inch. All three are baseboard-mounted, so the install is the same.

The Emtek 2231 is a baseboard door stop like the BDH35, mounting to the baseboard rather than the floor or the door. The BDH35 measures 3-1/2 inches, while the Emtek 2231 is a 4 inch stop, so the Emtek reaches further off the wall and will catch a door that swings closer to the baseboard. Both mount in the same place on the trim, so the choice comes down to how much projection the opening needs.

The Delaney 40201X solid brass baseboard door stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches, so a single part covers openings that need anywhere in that range. The Deltana BDH35 is fixed at 3-1/2 inches. For a property manager standardizing across a building where door and baseboard conditions vary unit to unit, the adjustable Delaney lets one SKU cover several conditions; where the clearance is known and consistent, the fixed BDH35 sets the projection without adjustment. Both are solid brass.

Use a floor-mounted bumper. The Delaney 4029XX is a 2 inch height round solid brass floor bumper that anchors to the floor and stops the door at the bottom edge instead of at the baseboard. The Deltana BDH35 requires a clear run of baseboard behind the door swing; the floor bumper does not touch the wall at all, which is the usual answer when the trim, a radiator, or built-in casework occupies the strike point.

No. The Deltana BDH35 is a bumper: it stops the swing and protects the wall, then the door is free to move. If the door needs to hold in the open position, the Orca Hardware TH-30HD is a heavy-duty rigid door stop whose function is listed as door holder, and the Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range that sets where the door catches. For a corridor or a loading door that has to stay propped, one of those is the part; the BDH35 covers the stop-and-protect case.

No extras needed. Each BDH35 ships in an individual poly bag with mounting hardware and both a white and a gray bumper tip, so you can match the tip to the trim colour on site instead of ordering a variant for it. It is sold each, so one bag is one door.

Solid brass, both material and substrate. That matters on a part that takes a repeated strike: a plated pot-metal stop dents and the plating flakes at the tip, while solid brass takes the hit and stays serviceable. It is the reason this one carries the heavy-duty designation.

Nine finishes: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. If you are matching existing Deltana lever or hinge finishes across a unit, the PVD polished brass is the one to pick where the stop sits in a bathroom or an entry that gets wiped down, since PVD holds its colour better than lacquered brass in those spots.

A baseboard bumper like the BDH35 screws to the trim and stops the door dead with a 7/16 inch tip. Nothing flexes, so the door does not bounce back, and there is nothing sticking out of the floor to catch a vacuum or a toe. A spring stop, such as the Orca Hardware 3-1/8 inch or 3-3/4 inch spring door stops, absorbs the swing and springs back, which is more forgiving on a door that gets thrown open hard but leaves a visible coil on the wall or the door face. For a standard bedroom or closet on painted baseboard, the rigid baseboard bumper is the cleaner install.

Yes, and it is a sensible fleet part. One model number, BDH35, in a single 3-1/2 inch height, with all nine finishes carrying the same body, so a turnover crew can hold one finish across a whole building and the mounting hardware comes in every bag. Sold each rather than by the pair, so the count you order is the count of doors. The one thing to confirm before you buy the run is that the baseboard height is consistent unit to unit, since this bumper does not adjust.

Not in the same place. The Orca Hardware TH-3118 and TH-3134 are spring door stops at 3-1/8 inches and 3-3/4 inches, which mount to the door or the wall and flex on a coil when struck. The Deltana BDH35 is a heavy-duty rigid baseboard bumper in solid brass that absorbs the swing on a bumper tip with 7/16 inch projection. If the requirement is a rigid brass stop landing on the baseboard, the spring stops are a different part, and the 3-3/4 inch length of the TH-3134 is close enough to 3-1/2 inches that it gets ordered by mistake.

They are separate parts with different projections, so they will not sit at the same depth off the wall. The Deltana BDH35 is 3-1/2 inches, the Emtek 2231 is 4 inches, and the Delaney 40201X adjusts between 3-1/2 and 4-1/2 inches, which means the Delaney can be dialed to 3-1/2 inches to match the BDH35 projection while the Emtek cannot be shortened. If the goal is a consistent look across doors, standardize on one model and one finish rather than mixing brands; the BDH35 comes in nine finishes including Polished Brass, Brushed Nickel, and Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Projection is what decides it. The Deltana BDH35 is 3-1/2 inches overall with a 7/16 inch tip projection where it meets the door. The Orca TH-3118 spring stop is 3-1/8 inches and the TH-3134 is 3-3/4 inches, so the TH-3118 is the shortest of the three and reaches least into the swing path while the TH-3134 reaches most. On a door that opens tight to the wall, the shorter part catches the door closer in; on a door that needs to be held further off the wall for a knob or lever, the longer part does it.
