Deltana FDB138 Floor Door Bumper 1-3/8", Solid Brass

The FDB138 stands 1-3/8 inches tall. That height suits a door with a normal undercut sitting close to the finished floor. If you have a thick carpet, a raised threshold, or a wide gap under the door, the stop tip can pass under the door edge and miss entirely, so measure from your finished floor to the bottom of the door leaf before you order. Where you need more reach, a taller floor stop or a gooseneck style that meets the door face is the better pick.

When the door bottom sits too high for the FDB138 to catch, move to a gooseneck stop, which rises off the floor and meets the face of the door rather than its edge. The Orca 22HD gooseneck is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors; Emtek's 2253 goose style and the Delaney gooseneck floor stop are the same approach. Measure the floor-to-door-bottom dimension first, then pick the stop tall enough to contact the door face.

The Emtek 2254 Floor Door Bumper is the nearest match. It is catalogued at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, the same 1-3/8 inch bumper height as the Deltana FDB138, and both are low-profile floor-mounted bumpers rather than gooseneck or holder-style stops. If you are matching an existing Deltana run, the FDB138 comes in eleven finishes including oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel, brushed nickel and polished chrome, so a straight Deltana-to-Deltana replacement is usually the simpler path for a property manager standardizing doors.

Step up to a gooseneck-style floor stop, which raises the strike point well above a plain bumper. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series Goose Neck Floor Stop with black tip is built for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors and functions as a door holder as well as a stop. Emtek's 2253 Goose Style Door Stop and the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop are the same general form. The Deltana FDB138 is a 1-3/8 inch tall bumper, so it only suits openings where the door bottom sits close to the floor.

The Deltana FDB138 is a solid brass bumper flagged for commercial use and works well where the abuse level is moderate. Where you want a stop rated heavy duty and a bumper you can service rather than replace, the Ives FS13 Heavy-Duty Brass Floor Dome Stop uses a replaceable rubber bumper; the Ives FS17 is the same heavy-duty brass dome family with a rubber bumper. For openings where you also need to deter someone kicking the stop loose, the Ives FS18S/FS18L Security Floor Stop is the heavy-duty option in that set.

Solid brass throughout, and Deltana classes it as commercial hardware. Brass is what you want in a corridor or lobby where a stamped steel stop would deform or rust. For high-abuse openings where the stop takes repeated hard door strikes, a heavy-duty cast floor stop like the Ives FS13 or FS17 is the heavier-service alternative.

Each FDB138 ships individually bagged with its mounting hardware included, sold one per unit. The supplied fasteners suit wood subfloor. Concrete or tile floors need a masonry anchor you source separately, which is normal for any floor-mounted stop.

Eleven finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you are matching existing hardware across a floor of units, the PVD Polished Brass holds its color longer than standard lacquered polished brass, and Unlacquered Brass is the one that will patina over time on purpose.

A floor bumper takes the impact at the bottom of the door, which is the right call when the wall behind the door is glass, a partition, casework, or drywall with no solid blocking to anchor into. The tradeoff is a fixed object in the walking path and a floor penetration. Where the door swings flat into a solid wall and you want nothing underfoot, a wall stop is cleaner. Where the door opens into open space with no wall at all, a floor stop like this is often the only workable option.

Yes, and that is a common use for it. It is sold each with hardware in every bag, in one size, across eleven finishes, so a property manager can run the same part number through an entire building and only vary the finish by floor or unit style. The constraint to check once, not per door, is the undercut: if your doors were hung to a consistent gap, the 1-3/8 inch height either works everywhere or nowhere.

Profile and shape. The FDB138 is a cylindrical solid brass bumper 1-3/8 inch tall. A dome stop presents a rounded low mound instead - the Delaney Dome Door Stop, the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop, and the Orca 23LP Series Dome Floor Stop, Low Rise with gray tip are all in that form, with the 23LP catalogued specifically as a door stop. Dome stops sit lower and are less of a toe catch in a walking path; the taller FDB138 reaches a door bottom that clears the floor by more.

For a replaceable tip, the Ives FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop is the one listed with a replaceable rubber bumper. That matters on high-traffic openings where the tip is the wear item and you would rather stock tips than whole stops. The Deltana FDB138 is a solid brass floor bumper sold as a complete unit.
