Deltana FDB125 Floor Door Bumper 1-1/4", Contemporary, Stainless Steel

The FDB125 is a wood-ready bumper, meaning it ships set up to screw straight into a wood floor or a wood threshold. On concrete, tile, or stone you'll need to drill and set an anchor sized to the 3/32 mounting hole yourself, since no masonry anchor comes with it. For a slab-on-grade opening where you'd rather not drill the floor at all, the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop mounts differently and is worth looking at instead.

Height is 1-1/4 inches. That is the number that decides it: the bumper has to be shorter than the gap under your door leaf or the door will ride over it instead of stopping against it, and it has to be tall enough that the door edge hits the bumper rather than the knob hitting the wall. On doors with a big undercut over carpet, a taller stop or a wall stop is the better call.

A bumper this size is a simple stop: it sits on the floor near the door's swing and takes the impact, nothing more. Pick it when the wall behind the door is the only thing you're protecting and the door does not need to be held open. If you need the door to stay open, that is a different part, a holder rather than a stop, like the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck or the Ives FS40/FS41/FS42/FS43 automatic floor stop and holder. If the door swings hard against a baseboard rather than flat wall, a taller gooseneck such as the Emtek 2253 reaches higher up the door face.

The FDB125 is a floor door bumper - it stops the door at a fixed point and releases as soon as the door is pulled back. It does not latch the door open. For an opening that needs the door to stay put, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series is specified as a door holder, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder, and the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16" x 1-3/4". The Orca 23LP Series, by contrast, is specified as a door stop only, the same function class as the FDB125.

The Emtek 2254 Floor Door Bumper is the nearest match. It is a floor door bumper measuring 1-3/8" x 1-1/4", and the Deltana FDB125 is a 1-1/4" floor door bumper in the same low-profile bumper style. Both are surface-mounted floor bumpers rather than gooseneck or holder-type stops, so either one serves the same job of stopping a door against a fixed point on the floor. Emtek also offers the 2257, a 1-1/2" cylindrical floor bumper, if a slightly taller cylinder profile suits the door-to-floor gap better.

A short floor bumper only works when the door leaf itself contacts the stop. If the gap between door bottom and floor is too large, or the door needs to be caught higher on the leaf, a gooseneck stop reaches up from the floor to meet the door. The Ives FS40, FS41, FS42, and FS43 are heavy-duty automatic floor stops and holders with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, which is the direct answer when clearance is the problem. 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 are gooseneck-profile alternatives; the Orca 22HD is specified for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" door thickness.

The FDB125 body is solid brass, and brass is the substrate under every finish offered. The stainless steel wording in the name refers to the stainless-look finish family rather than a different base metal. That matters for exterior or coastal openings: solid brass will not rust the way a plated steel stop does.

Twelve finishes: oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, unlacquered brass, brushed brass, antique brass, and PVD polished brass. That covers the standard Deltana finish range, so if the levers and hinges on the opening are already Deltana you can order the bumper in the matching finish. PVD polished brass is the one to pick where the stop takes sun or weather, since PVD holds its color; unlacquered brass will patina on purpose.

Commercial. Deltana lists the FDB125 as a commercial product, and it is solid brass rather than a hollow plated stop. For a heavy commercial leaf that gets slammed all day, though, the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops are catalogued as heavy duty and the FS13 takes a replaceable rubber bumper, which is what you want in a high-traffic corridor where the tip is the wear item.

Yes, and that is a reasonable fleet part. The FDB125 is one model in one size, 1-1/4 inches, sold each, with the finish as the only choice you make. Order the same finish across every door and every opening gets an identical stop. The limit to watch is floor material: the bumper is wood ready, so openings over concrete or tile need an anchor suited to the 3/32 mounting hole rather than the wood screw.

The Emtek 2254 is the nearest cross-brand equivalent, a floor door bumper listed at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches against the Deltana's 1-1/4 inch height, so the two sit at a similar height off the floor. Emtek's 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper, taller, if the Deltana comes up short under your door. Where the Deltana wins is finish matching: twelve finishes including PVD polished brass and unlacquered brass.

The Deltana FDB125 is a brass-substrate contemporary floor bumper in stainless steel finish family and is designated for commercial use, and it suits openings where the appearance of the stop matters. Where the concern is impact loading over years of traffic, the Ives line is specified at a heavy duty level: the FS13 floor dome stop has a replaceable rubber bumper, so the wear part can be swapped without pulling the base; the FS17 is a brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper; and the FS18S/FS18L is a security floor stop, also heavy duty. Replaceable-tip construction on the FS13 is the differentiator for a facility standardizing on one stop across many doors.

Both mount to the floor and arrest the door, but the profiles differ. The FDB125 is a 1-1/4" contemporary floor bumper. A dome stop uses a rounded dome base: the Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are dome-profile stops, and the Orca 23LP Series is a low-rise dome floor stop with a gray tip. The Ives FS13 and FS17 are brass floor dome stops with rubber bumpers. Choose on the strike point on the door face and on which profile matches the rest of the hardware in the space, since a low-rise dome and a 1-1/4" bumper contact the door at different heights.

Not as a like-for-like swap. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16" x 1-3/4", which means it captures and retains the door magnetically and requires a mating catch on the door leaf. The Deltana FDB125 is a 1-1/4" floor bumper that mounts on the floor alone and needs nothing added to the door. If the goal is simply to protect the wall and the door should swing free, the FDB125 style is the match; if the door must be held open, the MDH is the different function and the different prep.

The Ives FS18S/FS18L Security Floor Stop is the model built for that condition and is rated heavy duty. The Deltana FDB125 is a 1-1/4" contemporary floor bumper intended as a straightforward stop, and the Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy-duty brass floor dome stops. For a secure facility opening where the stop itself is part of the security consideration, the FS18S/FS18L is the one specified for that purpose.

The FDB125 is supplied wood ready with a 3/32 mount, so it is set up to fasten into wood. Plan on supplying your own anchor if the floor is anything other than wood, and check that the fastener head suits the 3/32 hole before you get to the job.

The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, so the tip can be renewed in place. The Ives FS17 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper, and the Orca 23LP Series carries a gray tip while the Orca 22HD Series carries a black tip. The Deltana FDB125 is a 1-1/4" floor bumper with a brass substrate offered across twelve finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, and Polished Brass, which is the choice when the stop needs to match the surrounding trim rather than be serviced part by part.
