Deltana MDHM Modern Magnetic Door Holder 2"

The MDHM is rated by Deltana for commercial use, and it's built in stainless steel throughout rather than a plated zinc casting, which is what keeps a magnetic holder serviceable in a corridor or entry that gets worked all day. It's a magnetic catch, so it holds the door in the open position and releases with a pull; it is not a stop that absorbs a swinging door's impact. If your problem is a door slamming into drywall, you want a wall or floor stop, not a holder.

The Emtek 2256 Magnetic Door Stop & Holder is the closest peer. Both are magnetic door holders that catch and hold the door open rather than just stopping its swing. The size is the main difference between them: the Deltana MDHM measures 2 inches, while the Emtek 2256 is a 3 inch unit. The MDHM body is stainless steel. For a property manager standardizing hold-open hardware across a run of doors, either will do the job; pick by the projection and visual scale you want at the baseboard or wall.

Step up to the Emtek 2256, which is a 3 inch magnetic door stop and holder against the Deltana MDHM's 2 inches. The extra inch of body gives you more reach when the baseboard, a chair rail, or an out of square wall keeps a shorter holder from meeting the door face squarely. Contractors setting hold-opens in older buildings run into this often; measure from the finished wall surface to the door face at the hold-open point before choosing.

Brushed Stainless and Paint Black. Brushed Stainless is the one that lines up with satin stainless lever and hinge hardware on a commercial opening; Paint Black matches matte black trim packages. Only those two, so if the rest of the opening is bronze or polished brass, this holder won't blend.

Yes. The Emtek 2256 Magnetic Door Stop & Holder is a 3 inch unit, so it's the option when you want more body on the wall or you're covering an existing larger footprint left by a removed holder. The Deltana MDHM is the 2 inch version and reads as the smaller, plainer cylinder of the two.

Solid stainless steel. Deltana lists both the material and the substrate of the MDHM as stainless steel, which means the base metal is stainless and not a plated pot-metal body. That matters for exterior vestibules, pool and locker corridors, and coastal buildings where a plated finish blisters and the holder ends up rusting to the wall anchor.

No. The MDHM is a magnetic door holder, so it does two jobs: it arrests the door and then magnetically retains it in the open position until someone pulls it free. A plain stop or bumper absorbs the strike and lets the door swing back. The Emtek 2256 is the same magnetic holder type, so it is a like for like swap; a non-magnetic stop is not, even where it mounts in the same spot. If the requirement is only to protect the wall from the lever or knob, a holder will change how the door behaves in the opening.

For a stainless or black hardware standard, yes. The MDHM comes in Brushed Stainless and Paint Black only, so a facility running satin stainless levers and hinges can spec one holder across every opening and stock a single part. Buildings with mixed bronze or brass trim will need a second holder for those doors.

The Deltana MDHM is stainless steel throughout, both body and substrate, and is a commercial rated piece of door hardware. It comes in brushed stainless and paint black. The Emtek 2256 is the comparable magnetic door holder in the set at 3 inches. Where an MRO or institutional buyer is specifying for corridors, restrooms, or other high traffic interiors, the stainless construction on the MDHM is the spec to check against the finish schedule.
