Deltana SAHW325 Wall Mount Bumper with Holder

A plain wall bumper only cushions the door when it swings open. The Deltana SAHW325 does both: it stops the door and holds it open at that point until someone releases it. Use it where you want the door to stay open (a corridor door, a unit entry during a move-in, a mechanical room), and use a straight bumper like the Emtek 2255 or the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper where you just need to protect the wall.

It's built for heavier doors and is a solid brass part, not plated pot metal, and Deltana rates it for commercial use. On a high-traffic opening with an aggressive closer, an institutional-grade option like the Ives WS11 heavy duty wall stop or the Ives WS20 manual wall holder with hinged strike is the other direction to look.

Wall mount. It fastens to the wall behind the door swing, so the door contacts it at the top of the swing rather than at the base. If your door swings into open space with no wall behind it, a wall stop of any kind is the wrong part; you'd want a floor or hinge-mounted stop instead.

No. Any hold-open device that mechanically catches the door and keeps it open defeats the self-closing requirement on a rated opening. A rated corridor door needs an electromagnetic hold-open tied to the fire alarm, or nothing at all. Use the SAHW325 on non-rated openings, and on rated doors switch to a stop-only wall bumper such as the Ives WS33 heavy-duty wall door stop with replaceable rubber bumper.

A short wall bumper like the SAHW325 only works where the wall sits close behind the open door. When the gap is bigger, you need a projecting wall stop offered in multiple lengths, such as the ABH RM Series or ABH RMS Series wall door stops. Measure from the finished wall to the door face at full swing before ordering either way.

The Deltana SAHW325 is a wall mount bumper that also holds the door open, in solid brass. The Ives WS20 is the closest match in concept: a manual wall holder with a hinged strike, rated heavy duty, for drywall and masonry applications. The Ives WS40 covers the same hold-open job automatically, with a heavy duty bumper pad, and is rated light duty. If you want the hold-open action but in a decorative brass finish family rather than a commercial stamped look, the SAHW325 is the brass option; if the opening is a high-traffic commercial corridor, the WS20 is the one specified more often.

Then a plain wall stop is the simpler part. The Ives WS11 is a heavy duty wall stop with a replaceable rubber bumper for drywall and masonry, and the Ives WS33/WS33X is a heavy-duty wall door stop, also with a replaceable rubber bumper. The Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper with a regular rosette if you want a decorative stop in brass, and the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper is a smaller-diameter concave face. The Deltana SAHW325 adds the hold-open function on top of the bumper, so if nobody needs the door parked open, you are buying a mechanism you will not use.

A wall-mounted part only works if the door reaches a solid wall at the right height. When it does not, you have two directions. Longer projection: the ABH RM Series and ABH RMS Series wall door stops are offered with multiple length options, which is what you spec when the baseboard or a recess pushes the strike point away from the wall. Or move off the wall entirely: the Delaney 3 inch spring door stop and the Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop mount at the base of the door or baseboard and stop the swing without needing wall contact. The Deltana SAHW325 mounts to the wall, so it is not the part for that opening.

Mounting hardware is in the bag. Each SAHW325 ships individually poly bagged with its hardware, sold one per unit. What's not included is a wall anchor sized to your substrate, so if you're going into drywall rather than solid blocking or masonry, plan on a toggle or anchor rated for the pull a held-open door puts on it.

Nine, and they cover most of what's already hanging on a commercial or multi-family door: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If you're matching hinges and levers across a building, the PVD polished brass is the one to pick when you want the brass look to hold up in a high-touch or exterior-adjacent location.

No handing. The SAHW325 mounts on the wall the door swings toward and works the same regardless of which side the hinges are on, so you can order a single quantity for a building and not sort left from right. That's the practical difference from strike-mounted holders like the Ives WS20, which pairs a wall holder with a hinged strike on the door.

The SAHW325 is a mechanical bumper with a holder, released by hand. If you specifically need the door to engage on its own each time it swings fully open, the Ives WS40 automatic wall holder is the type built for that, though it's a light duty unit. For a heavier door where someone will set the hold deliberately, the solid brass SAHW325 is the more substantial part.

They do the same job by different means. The Deltana SAHW325 is a wall mount bumper with holder in solid brass. The Ives WS40 is an automatic wall holder with a heavy duty bumper pad and is rated light duty, while the WS20 is the manual version with a hinged strike, rated heavy duty. Automatic holders engage when the door swings into them and release with a pull; a manual holder is set by hand. If the occupants expect the door to catch on its own, the WS40 behaves differently from a manual holder, so confirm which action the site wants before swapping.

The Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover is the one to watch for. It is a cover plate that hides an existing hole in the door or wall, not a stop and not a holder, and it will not arrest a swinging door. The Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette is a genuine wall bumper and looks similar in brass, but it is a bumper only, with no hold-open. The Deltana SAHW325 is a wall mount bumper with holder, so the hold-open function is the difference to check before you substitute either one.

Split it by opening. The Deltana SAHW325 is a solid brass wall mount bumper with holder marked for commercial use and comes in nine finishes, including PVD polished brass, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, antique nickel, paint black, polished chrome, brushed chrome, polished brass, and antique brass, which is what lets it match lever and hinge finishes in guest-facing or tenant-facing corridors. For back-of-house and high-traffic runs, the Ives WS11 and Ives WS33/WS33X are heavy duty wall stops with replaceable rubber bumpers for drywall and masonry, and the replaceable bumper matters when maintenance is servicing the same doors for years. Many facilities run the brass line where it is seen and the Ives line where it is worked.

Solid brass, substrate and all, which matters on a part that takes a door strike repeatedly and on finishes like oil rubbed bronze or antique brass that are meant to wear naturally. A plated zinc stop breaks at the post; solid brass deforms instead. It also means the part won't rust in a damp stairwell or an exterior vestibule.

Relocating a wall stop leaves a hole in the drywall behind the old one. The Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover is made for exactly that, and it saves patching and repainting on a turn. Order it alongside the SAHW325 when you're moving stops rather than installing to fresh wall.

Both are heavy duty wall stops with replaceable rubber bumpers. The WS11 is described for drywall and masonry, which is the anchoring question on a hollow partition versus a block wall, and the WS33/WS33X is the heavy-duty wall door stop with the same replaceable bumper. Either is the stop-only alternative to the Deltana SAHW325, which adds a holder. Pick between the two on the wall substrate you are fastening into and on which projection reaches your door face.

The Deltana SAHW325 is solid brass and built for heavier doors, with a holder built in. For a lighter interior door that only needs the wall protected, the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper is a small concave-face bumper, and the Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper with a regular rosette. Neither holds the door open. If the door is light enough that it never needs parking, the simpler bumper is the part that fits the job.
