Deltana FDB278 Floor Door Bumper 2-7/8", Solid Brass

Height is 2-7/8 inches. That is the number that matters: the bumper has to be shorter than the gap between the bottom of your door and the finished floor is deep, or rather, the door has to contact the bumper body and not ride over it. At 2-7/8 inches tall it is a tall floor bumper meant to catch the face of the door well above the bottom rail, so it works where a low-rise stop would be missed entirely by a door with a large undercut. Measure from the floor to the point on the door you want contacted before ordering.

It comes down to where the door needs to be caught and what the floor is. A 2-7/8 inch bumper stands up off the floor and takes the hit on the door face, which is what you want when the door has a big undercut or when a short stop would be a trip hazard nobody sees. A low dome sits nearly flush and is harder to catch a toe on, but it must land on the bottom rail of the door to work. Low-rise alternatives include the Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop and the Emtek 2251 half dome. The Emtek 2254 floor door bumper is a smaller unit at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches if the tall profile is more than the opening needs.

The FDB278 is a floor bumper, so it stops the door swing and nothing more. For an opening that has to stand open, the Ives FS40, FS41, FS42 and FS43 are automatic floor stops and holders with adjustable door to floor clearance, the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is listed with a door holder function. That is the split to check before ordering: a bumper returns the door, a holder keeps it parked.

The Deltana FDB278 is a 2-7/8 inch solid brass floor mounted bumper. On the dome side, 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 practical difference between those two Ives units is that the FS13 bumper is replaceable, so a high traffic opening can be refreshed without pulling the base off the floor. The Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are the same dome format from other lines.

The FDB278 stands 2-7/8 inch tall, which suits an opening where the door edge sits reasonably close to the floor. Where the gap is larger, a gooseneck reaches up to catch the door instead: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop, which is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Going the other way, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip for openings where a tall post is a trip hazard.

Mounting hardware is included. Each FDB278 ships in an individual poly bag with its mounting hardware, sold one per unit. Fasteners supplied with a floor stop suit wood subfloor; if you are fixing into concrete or tile you will want your own anchors sized to the supplied screw.

Commercial. Deltana classes the FDB278 as a commercial item, and it is solid brass rather than plated zinc. For a high-traffic opening where the door gets kicked open all day, Ives lists heavy duty floor stops, the FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops and the FS18S/FS18L security floor stop, and those are the ones to look at if the door is being driven into the stop by carts or crash traffic.

Sometimes, and the difference is reach. A gooseneck arcs up and out from its base so it can meet a door that sits some distance from the mounting point, which is how you stop a door that swings past a baseboard or over a threshold. The FDB278 is a straight 2-7/8 inch bumper that has to be fixed where the door will actually strike it. If the floor position you have available is not directly under the door face, go gooseneck: the Delaney Gooseneck Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 goose style, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series gooseneck are all floor-mounted gooseneck options.

For a security-sensitive opening, no. The FDB278 is a standard solid brass floor bumper with ordinary mounting hardware. Where tampering or vandalism is the concern, the Ives FS18S/FS18L is specifically a security floor stop and is rated heavy duty. Use the Deltana where appearance and finish matching drive the choice.

The Deltana FDB278 solid brass floor bumper comes in 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, which covers most standard trim finishes for matching across a fleet of doors. Among the comparable floor stops, the Ives FS13 and FS17 are described as brass dome stops and the Orca 23LP Series is described with a gray tip, so finish coordination is the main reason to stay with the Deltana across a whole building.

The FDB278 is a 2-7/8 inch solid brass floor bumper. For a shorter footprint, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch and the Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. Both sit closer to the floor than the FDB278, so confirm the door edge will actually make contact at that height before specifying one.

The Deltana FDB278 is a solid brass floor bumper designated for commercial use. Where the specification calls out duty level explicitly, the Ives FS13, FS17, FS18S/FS18L and the FS40/FS41/FS42/FS43 series are all listed as heavy duty, as is the SOSS MDH magnetic holder and stop. The Ives FS18S/FS18L is a security floor stop, which is the one to look at for openings where the stop itself needs to resist tampering.

No. The Deltana FDB278 is a 2-7/8 inch solid brass floor bumper that arrests the door swing. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, so it catches and retains the door magnetically rather than simply bumping it. Both mount to the floor, but swapping one for the other changes how the door behaves at the end of its swing, which matters on an opening where the door is expected to close on its own.

Sold individually, one bumper per unit, each in its own poly bag with mounting hardware. There is no multi-pack, so an order for forty openings is forty units. Finish is chosen per unit as well, so a job that mixes oil rubbed bronze on one floor and brushed nickel on another is two line items of the same FDB278 model.

The Deltana FDB278 is a solid brass floor bumper packed with mounting hardware. If the maintenance plan calls for refreshing the contact tip rather than replacing the whole stop, the Ives FS13 is a heavy duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper. The Ives FS17 is the heavy duty brass dome stop with a rubber bumper and is the closer match when a fixed tip is acceptable.
