Deltana FDBB134 Floor Door Bumper 1-3/4", Cube, Contemporary, Stainless Steel

The FDBB134 is a stop, not a holder. It's a 1-3/4 inch stainless steel cube that takes the impact of the door and keeps it off the wall, with nothing to catch and hold the leaf open. If you need the door to stay put once it's swung, look at a holder instead: the Orca Hardware 22HD Series gooseneck is a floor-mounted door holder, and the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop. Property managers replacing stops in a corridor often want the holder on the doors that get propped and the plain cube everywhere else.

The cube measures 1-3/4 inches, so that's the stand-off you get between the floor-mounted stop and whatever the door would otherwise hit. That matters two ways: the lever or knob on the far side has to clear the wall at that projection, and a door with more than 1-3/4 inches of undercut will swing right over a stop this height. Measure from the floor to the bottom of the door before you commit. If the clearance is tight or uneven, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop is built with adjustable door-to-floor clearance.

The Deltana FDBB134 is a 1-3/4 inch cube floor bumper in stainless steel. Where a facility wants a heavy duty floor stop instead, 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 FS13 bumper is replaceable, so the strike surface can be renewed in place rather than swapping the whole stop; the FDBB134 is a one piece stainless cube in a contemporary profile.

The FDBB134 is a floor door stop only. To hold the door open as well, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, and the SOSS MDH is a heavy duty magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches. The Orca 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is also catalogued as a door holder and fits 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors.

When floor clearance is tight, a low rise dome is the usual move. The Orca 23LP Series is a dome floor stop, low rise, with a gray tip and is catalogued as a door stop function. The Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are also dome profiles rather than the 1-3/4 inch cube form of the Deltana FDBB134.

Deltana lists the FDBB134 as commercial, and the body is stainless steel rather than a plated zinc casting, which is what holds up in an office corridor or a multi-family common area. For openings that get abused, heavier brass floor stops are the other route: the Ives FS13 and FS17 dome stops are both heavy duty, the FS13 with a replaceable rubber bumper so you can renew the strike face without pulling the stop out of the floor.

Three: paint black, polished stainless, and brushed stainless. Brushed stainless is the one that disappears next to satin stainless lever trim and push plates, polished pairs with bright stainless or chrome, and paint black suits black hardware packages or anywhere you want the stop to read as dark against the floor. All three are the same 1-3/4 inch cube, so you can standardize the model across a building and vary only the finish by wing.

Shape is mostly about how the floor reads and how the door strikes it. A cube like the Deltana FDBB134 is a square, contemporary block, 1-3/4 inches, with flat faces that suit modern trim. A dome is a rounded low profile that's less of a toe-catch in a walkway: the Orca 23LP Series is a low-rise dome stop, and the Emtek 2251 is a half dome. Gooseneck styles, such as the Emtek 2253 or the Delaney gooseneck, mount to the floor and reach up to catch a door that needs its contact point higher than a floor block can reach.

The FDBB134 is a stainless steel cube floor bumper specified for commercial use, but it is a general purpose stop. For an opening where the stop itself needs to resist tampering, the Ives FS18S/FS18L is a heavy duty security floor stop, and it is the peer to look at for that application.

They are both floor door bumpers, but they are different sizes and shapes. The Deltana FDBB134 is a 1-3/4 inch cube in a contemporary profile. The Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches. Emtek also offers the 2257, a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. A cube reads square from every side; the 2257 is round in plan, so if the goal is matching an existing bumper visually, the shape decides it before the dimension does.

A cube bumper such as the Deltana FDBB134 mounts on the floor and stops the door at the point it strikes, so the door swing has to end where the bumper sits. Where the door needs to swing further before it is caught, a gooseneck stop reaches up off the floor to meet the door face: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, and the Orca 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip, which lists a 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, are all that pattern.

Stainless is the reason to pick the FDBB134 for those rooms. Both the body and the substrate are stainless steel, so a floor stop that gets mopped daily or sits inside an entry where snowmelt and salt track in won't bloom rust the way a plated finish over pot metal does. Brushed stainless also hides scuffing better than polished in those spots.

Each. The unit of measure on the FDBB134 is one bumper, and the finish is chosen per unit, so a job with twelve doors needs twelve. Order the count by opening, not by pair.
