Deltana DSLP316 Low Profile Dome Door Stop, Solid Brass

It comes down to how far the door swings past the stop point and what is behind it. A dome stop like the Deltana DSLP316 sits low on the floor and catches the bottom rail of the door, so it works where the door has room to reach the floor stop and where a tall post would be a trip hazard, in a corridor or a unit entry. A gooseneck rises off the floor and catches the door higher up, which is what you want when the door edge needs to be stopped before it reaches a floor position, or where baseboard or a radiator is in the way. If a gooseneck is the answer, ZenSupply carries the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style, and the Orca 22HD Series.

For a unit entry, an office door, or a corridor door in a managed building, the DSLP316 is the right class of part: solid brass and catalogued commercial rather than residential. Where it gets marginal is a heavy, hard-closing door on a high-traffic opening, a stairwell, a gym, a loading corridor, where you want a heavy duty stop with a replaceable bumper so maintenance swaps the tip instead of pulling the anchor. The Ives FS13 heavy duty brass floor dome stop has a replaceable rubber bumper, and the Ives FS17 is the heavy duty dome with a rubber bumper. In a corrections or high-abuse setting the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy duty option.

A low profile dome sits close to the floor, so it needs the bottom of the door to actually come down to it. Thick carpet, an undercut door, or a large floor clearance can put the door edge above the dome and the stop does nothing. Two ways out: go to a taller form that catches the door higher, a gooseneck like the Delaney Gooseneck, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style, or the Orca 22HD Series, or use an automatic floor stop with adjustable door-to-floor clearance such as the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43. Measure your clearance at the stop location before you commit to a low profile.

A dome stop only arrests the door swing. For hold-open, look at the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop, which is catalogued as a door holder and fits 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder, which offers adjustable door-to-floor clearance in a heavy duty build. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch if you want the door held magnetically against the wall or floor rather than by a mechanical catch. The Deltana DSLP316 is a stop, so pairing it with a separate holder is the other route.

The Orca Hardware 23LP Series is the nearest match in form and function: it is a dome floor stop in a low rise profile, with a gray bumper tip. The Deltana DSLP316 is a low profile dome stop in solid brass, sold each with mounting hardware in the bag. The Delaney Dome Door Stop is also a dome-style floor stop if you want a third dome option. If the gray tip on the Orca 23LP matters to your color scheme, the DSLP316 carries its dome in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome and Satin-style Brushed Nickel.

A low rise dome sits close to the floor, so a tall undercut or a thick carpet can let the door ride over it. Gooseneck stops raise the strike point on a riser: the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip all take that form, and the Orca 22HD is rated for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper, another taller silhouette than a dome. The Deltana DSLP316 dome is the right pick where the clearance is tight and you want the stop to stay low and out of the walking line.

The Ives FS13 and Ives FS17 are both heavy duty brass floor dome stops in the same dome shape, and the FS13 carries a replaceable rubber bumper so the wearing part can be renewed in place instead of pulling the whole stop. The Ives FS18S / FS18L is a heavy duty security floor stop for openings where the stop itself needs to resist tampering. The Deltana DSLP316 is a solid brass commercial dome stop, so on a moderate corridor door it is the same base material; the difference on the Ives units is the heavy duty rating and, on the FS13, the serviceable bumper.

Mounting hardware is in the bag. Each DSLP316 ships individually poly bagged with its mounting hardware, sold one per unit, so a hundred-door job is a hundred stops and nothing else to order. Whether the supplied fastener suits your floor is the real question: what comes in the bag is intended for the substrate you are anchoring into, and concrete or tile will want an anchor you supply.

Ten finishes, which is what makes this one easy to match across a building: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If your levers and hinges are already a Deltana finish, order the stop in the same code and it lands. For high-touch or humid locations, the PVD Polished Brass holds its color better than a lacquered brass will.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on a stop because the part takes a repeated impact from the door edge at floor level and gets kicked, mopped, and vacuumed against. A plated pot metal stop deforms or snaps at the base; solid brass takes the hit and can be refinished. It is catalogued for commercial use.

A low rise dome floor stop is a common form, so there are direct equivalents. The Deltana DSLP316 is the low profile dome in solid brass with ten finishes. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip. The Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome are the same basic shape from other lines. Bear in mind that none of these are guaranteed to reuse the existing anchor hole, so plan on re-drilling or on the base covering the old hole.

If the door swings into open wall and you can put a bumper right where the lever lands, a wall bumper is the simpler install, nothing on the floor and nothing to trip over. A floor stop like the Deltana DSLP316 is what you use when there is no wall behind the door, when the wall is glass or millwork, when the swing needs to be limited short of a full 180, or when you cannot anchor reliably into drywall. The DSLP316 is a low profile dome, so it stays out of the traffic path better than a post-style floor stop.

They are not interchangeable in appearance even though both mount to the floor. The Emtek 2254 is a floor door bumper measuring 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, and the Emtek 2251 is a half dome door stop - a half dome reads differently on the floor than a full low profile dome. The Deltana DSLP316 is a low profile dome in solid brass offered in ten finishes, from PVD Polished Brass and Polished Nickel through Antique Brass and Paint Black. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, confirm which silhouette is already down before substituting one for the other.

The Ives FS13 is a heavy duty brass floor dome stop specified with a replaceable rubber bumper, so maintenance can swap the tip without disturbing the anchor. The Ives FS17 is the companion heavy duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. Among the tipped alternatives, the Orca Hardware 23LP dome floor stop uses a gray tip and the Orca 22HD gooseneck uses a black tip, which matters when you are standardizing the look across a floor. The Deltana DSLP316 is a solid brass dome supplied each with its mounting hardware.

Yes, with the right anchor. The DSLP316 anchors through a single fastening point into the floor, and the hardware in the bag suits a normal wood or wood-subfloor install. Into concrete, terrazzo, or tile you will want to drill and set a masonry anchor sized to the supplied screw, and on tile drill with a bit meant for the glaze so you do not spall it. The brass base itself does not care about the substrate.

Ordering is a single decision: pick the finish. The DSLP316 has no size, handing, or function options, just the ten finish choices, and it is sold each, individually bagged with mounting hardware. That makes it straightforward to standardize across a portfolio, one model number and one finish code on every opening, and it means a re-order years later matches what is already on the floors.

The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, which changes where the hardware lands and how the door is caught compared with a floor dome. Within the floor mounted group, the Ives FS18S / FS18L security floor stop and the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder are both heavy duty units that anchor to the floor. The Deltana DSLP316 is a floor mounted bumper and ships with its mounting hardware in the bag, so plan on a floor anchor if you go that way.
