Deltana BDS425 4" Baseboard Door Bumper, Solid Brass

A baseboard stop like the Deltana BDS425 mounts on the baseboard behind the door and catches the door face, so it only works where the door actually reaches the wall. With 3/8 inch of tip projection, the BDS425 holds the door that far off the baseboard. If the door swings into open floor, a lever handle would hit the wall before the baseboard, or you want the stop out at the door edge instead, a floor-mounted bumper is the right call, such as the Delaney 2 inch round solid brass floor bumper.

The BDS425 is a fixed 4 inch stop, so the strike point sits at that height and it will not move. Where the baseboard height or the door rail line needs the tip somewhere else, an adjustable baseboard stop covers a range instead: the Delaney solid brass baseboard stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches. The Emtek 2231 is the other fixed 4 inch baseboard stop if you just want a straight swap in a different look.

Stop only. The Deltana BDS425 arrests the swing and protects the wall, but it does not catch or hold the door in the open position. If you need the door to stay put, that is a door holder, such as the Orca Hardware TH-30HD, or a hold-open stop like the Hager 212 with its 80 to 120 degree range.

The Emtek 2231 Baseboard Door Stop is the direct counterpart. Both are baseboard-mounted door stops at 4 inches, so the mounting location and the reach out from the wall line up with what the BDS425 does. The BDS425 is solid brass with a 3/8 inch tip projection and ships with both gray and white tips in the box.

The Delaney Solid Brass Baseboard Door Stop adjusts from 3-1/2 inches to 4-1/2 inches, so a single part covers a range around the fixed 4 inch length of the BDS425. That matters when the baseboard depth or the door swing varies from opening to opening and you do not want to measure each one before ordering. Both are solid brass.

The Deltana BDS425 is a residential-duty baseboard bumper in solid brass. For heavier traffic, the Orca Hardware TH-30HD is a heavy duty rigid door stop, and the Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range. Rigid stops arrest the door at a set opening angle rather than cushioning it at the wall, which is the behavior you usually want in a corridor or a stairwell vestibule.

Both. Every BDS425 ships packed in an individual poly bag with a gray tip and a white tip included, so you choose on site to match the door color. Nothing extra to order.

Eleven finishes, which is what makes it easy to match hinges and levers already in the unit: polished brass, PVD polished brass, unlacquered brass, antique brass, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished chrome, brushed chrome, oil rubbed bronze, and paint black. Unlacquered brass is the one to specify if you want it to patina naturally rather than hold its shine.

The BDS425 is solid brass through the body, not plated zinc, so the threads and the base stand up to being backed out and reset at turnover. Deltana lists it as a residential product, so for a high-traffic commercial corridor or a school, step up to a heavy-duty rigid stop such as the Orca Hardware TH-30HD.

A baseboard bumper is rigid. The BDS425 threads into the baseboard and the door strikes a 3/8 inch tip, stopping it dead with no flex. A spring stop mounts to the base of the door or the wall and flexes on impact, which is quieter and more forgiving but does not hold a hard stop line. Orca Hardware makes spring stops in 3-1/8 and 3-3/4 inch lengths if that is the behavior you want. Choose rigid when you are protecting a wall or a lever from a hard swing.

No, they land in different places. The BDS425 mounts to the baseboard and stops the door at the wall. The Delaney 2 inch Height Round Solid Brass Floor Bumper mounts to the floor and catches the door at its bottom edge. Use the floor bumper where there is no baseboard to fasten into or where carpet and base trim make a wall mount awkward; use the BDS425 where you want nothing standing up out of the floor to trip over or vacuum around.

The Orca Hardware TH-30HD carries a door holder function, meaning it is meant to hold the door open at position, not only to arrest the swing. The Deltana BDS425 is a baseboard bumper, so it stops the door against the wall and lets it swing back freely. If the requirement on the drawing is to hold a leaf open, the bumper will not satisfy it.

Both are solid brass baseboard stops. The Deltana BDS425 is stocked in eleven finishes including polished brass, unlacquered brass, antique brass, PVD polished brass, oil rubbed bronze, polished and brushed nickel, antique nickel, polished and brushed chrome, and paint black, which makes it straightforward to hold one part number across doors trimmed in different finishes. The Delaney Solid Brass Baseboard Door Stop is the alternative if you want the 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inch adjustable length instead.

They sell one at a time. The unit of measure on the BDS425 is each, and each one comes in its own poly bag with both tips, so ordering ten doors means ordering ten pieces. Handy for a punch list where only a few openings need a stop.
