Deltana FDB250 Floor Door Bumper 2-1/2", Contemporary, Stainless Steel

The FDB250 is a floor-mounted bumper that stands 2-1/2 inches tall, so it catches the door at the bottom rail before the lever or edge reaches the wall. It only works where you can anchor into the floor near the door's swing arc, and the door needs enough bottom clearance to pass over nothing (the bumper is fixed, not a hold-open). If the floor is tile you don't want to drill, or the swing arc lands over a threshold or a carpet transition, a wall-mounted stop is the better answer.

Mounting hardware ships with it. Each FDB250 is packed in an individual polybag with its mounting hardware, sold one per unit. The mount takes a 17/64 hole, so drill your floor pilot to suit the anchor you're setting into concrete, wood, or tile.

Oil Rubbed Bronze is one of twelve finishes on the FDB250. The full run is Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Paint Black, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Unlacquered Brass, and PVD Polished Brass. That covers most Deltana trim families, so a property manager standardizing a building can carry one bumper model across openings and just change the finish code.

Height is the deciding factor. At 2-1/2 inches the FDB250 catches a door with normal undercut, but on a door with a tall bottom gap or one where the stop has to sit back from the door because of a floor obstruction, a gooseneck reaches up and out instead. The Orca 22HD Series gooseneck floor stop, the Delaney Gooseneck Door Stop, and the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop all cover that case. Going the other way, a low profile like the Orca 23LP Series dome stop is what you want where a tall bumper would be a trip hazard.

The FDB250 is a bumper - it stops the door swing and releases it. For a door that needs to stay put, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder catches and holds the door with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, and the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop, 3-5/16" x 1-3/4", holds magnetically so the door releases with a pull. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is also built as a door holder and suits 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" doors. All three are a change in function from the FDB250, not just a change in profile.

The Emtek 2254 Floor Door Bumper is the nearest match in form and purpose - a low-profile floor-mounted bumper measuring 1-3/8" x 1-1/4". The Deltana FDB250 stands 2-1/2", so the Emtek 2254 sits noticeably lower and projects less into the floor space, while the FDB250 gives more height to catch the door face on a door with more undercut or a taller strike point. Both are floor bumpers rather than holders, so neither will hold a door open once it is stopped.

The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is a low rise dome with a gray tip, and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop is likewise a half-dome profile that sits close to the floor. The Deltana FDB250 is 2-1/2" tall, so in a walking path where a taller post is in the way, either dome-style stop keeps the projection down. Dome stops catch the bottom rail of the door rather than the face, so confirm the door has enough undercut clearance to pass over the dome before it makes contact.

The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, and the Ives FS17 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. The replaceable bumper on the FS13 matters for an MRO program where the rubber is the wear item and you would rather stock tips than whole stops. The Deltana FDB250 is a commercial-rated bumper on a brass substrate finished in stainless steel, so the split is between a decorative bumper carried in twelve finishes and a utilitarian dome stop built around field-serviceable rubber.

The FDB250's mount is 17/64, which is the fastener hole through the bumper base. Match your floor anchor to the substrate, a plastic or lead anchor in concrete, a wood screw in a subfloor. Because it is a single center fastener rather than a two-hole base, the bumper can be spun to seat flush after the anchor is set.

Commercial is how the FDB250 is classified, and the brass body with a 2-1/2 inch profile is built for repeated contact rather than occasional residential use. For high-abuse openings, corridor doors in a hospital or school that get kicked open daily, look at a heavy duty floor dome stop such as the Ives FS13 or FS17 instead, both of which we carry as heavy duty.

Size is the real difference. The FDB250 stands 2-1/2 inches. The Emtek 2254 floor door bumper is 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches, and the Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. So the Deltana is the taller catch, useful when the door needs stopping higher up the rail, while the two Emtek bumpers sit low and are less obtrusive underfoot. All three are fixed bumpers, none hold the door open.

One model, twelve finish codes, all under FDB250. That is how a property manager or MRO buyer standardizes: same 2-1/2 inch brass bumper and same 17/64 mount hole at every opening, so the install is identical and the spare parts bin holds one part. Only the finish changes by area, from Polished Chrome or Brushed Nickel in back-of-house to Antique Brass or Oil Rubbed Bronze on the public side. Each unit is sold individually and arrives bagged with its hardware.

A standard floor bumper like the FDB250 anchors with a single 17/64 fastener, which is fine for normal traffic but is the part that loosens under abuse. Where tamper resistance is the requirement, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy duty option built for it. In multi-family corridors and unit entries that take repeated abuse, that is the trade-off to weigh before ordering.

A gooseneck reaches further than a bumper does. The Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip all curve up and out to meet the door face at a point away from the mounting hole, which lets you set the stop back from the swing arc. The Deltana FDB250 is a straight 2-1/2" bumper that contacts the door directly above its own footprint, so the mounting location has to fall where the door actually lands. Note the Orca 22HD is built as a door holder, not a plain stop.

The Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the one to watch. It is a heavy-duty floor stop built for security applications, where the concern is a stop that resists tampering and abuse - a different design intent from the FDB250, which is a contemporary bumper finished for appearance and offered in twelve finishes including Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Unlacquered Brass. The SOSS MDH is the other near-miss: it is a magnetic door holder and stop, so it requires a mating strike on the door and will not drop in where a plain bumper was.

The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2" cylindrical floor bumper from the Door Accessories Collection, a plain cylinder with no shaping. The Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are simpler still, both dome profiles. Against those, the Deltana FDB250 is a 2-1/2" contemporary bumper on a brass substrate, so the trade is between the taller contact height of the FDB250 and the smaller footprint of the cylinder or dome.

The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is the adjustable one, with adjustable door-to-floor clearance built into the design - useful when you are standardizing one part number across openings with different undercuts or floor coverings. The Deltana FDB250 is a fixed-height 2-1/2" bumper, so the height is set by the model you order rather than adjusted after mounting. If your openings vary in floor finish thickness, the adjustable Ives is the safer specification for a fleet.

Brass is the substrate on the FDB250, with stainless steel called out as the product material on the base spec. The finish you pick sits on top of that, which is why the range runs across brass finishes (polished, brushed, antique, unlacquered, PVD polished) as well as nickel and chrome plating.

For a bumper where the rubber can be swapped out after it wears or tears, the Ives FS13 heavy duty brass floor dome stop is listed with a replaceable rubber bumper. That matters on high-traffic commercial openings where the tip is the part that fails first and you would rather change a tip than pull the anchor. The Deltana FDB250 is the contemporary 2-1/2 inch brass floor bumper and is ordered as a complete unit in your chosen finish.

The Deltana FDB250 is carried in twelve finishes - Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Brushed Brass, Unlacquered Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Paint Black - which is what lets you carry one stop across openings trimmed in different metals. The Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy-duty brass floor dome stops specified around duty rather than around a decorative finish range. If the stop has to disappear into the door trim, the FDB250 finish range is the reason to pick it; if it has to survive a service corridor, the Ives dome stops are the reason to pick those.
