Deltana UFB4505 RoundUniversal Floor Door Bumper 1-1/2", Solid Brass

Stopping only. The UFB4505 is a fixed round floor bumper, 1-1/2 inches tall in solid brass, that catches the leaf and keeps it off the wall. There is no catch, magnet, or lever on it to hold the door open. If the opening needs the door to stay put, order a holder instead: the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder, or the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is also carried as a door holder.

Only if the undercut is less than 1-1/2 inches. The Deltana UFB4505 stands 1-1/2 inches off the floor and takes the strike on the body of the bumper, so a door with a wide undercut, or one hung high over carpet, can swing straight over the top of it and hit the wall anyway. Measure from the finish floor to the bottom of the door before you commit. For a tall gap, a gooseneck stop that rises up to meet the door face is the better call: the Emtek 2253 goose style door stop or the Delaney gooseneck floor door stop. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is adjustable for door-to-floor clearance.

The Emtek 2257 is the nearest match. It is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper from Emtek's Cylinder series, the same upright round form and the same 1-1/2 inch height as the Deltana UFB4505, which is a solid brass round universal floor bumper at 1-1/2 inches. Because the two share height, the door stops at the same distance off the wall, so swapping one for the other does not move the strike point or change where the anchor lands in the floor. The UFB4505 is packed in an individual poly bag with its mounting hardware.

Two lower-profile options. The Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches, smaller in both dimensions than the Deltana UFB4505's 1-1/2 inch height. The Orca Hardware 23LP is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip, a hemisphere rather than an upright cylinder, so it takes up less height again. Height matters here because the bumper has to clear the bottom of the door leaf and still contact it - a door with a deep undercut over carpet or a thick threshold will pass over a stop that is too short, and one that is too tall will foul the door edge.

The UFB4505 is a floor bumper - it arrests the swing and nothing more. For hold-open, three different mechanisms: the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, so one unit both stops and catches the door; the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches, which holds by magnet rather than by a mechanical catch; and the Orca Hardware 22HD gooseneck floor stop is built as a door holder. Which one suits depends on whether you want the door caught automatically every swing or only when someone sets it.

The Ives FS13 is the one that names a replaceable rubber bumper - it is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop, so on a fleet of doors you can swap tips as they wear without disturbing the floor anchor. The Ives FS17 is also a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. The Deltana UFB4505 is a solid brass 1-1/2 inch round floor bumper that ships in an individual poly bag with its mounting hardware. For a property manager buying across many units, the replaceable-tip design changes the maintenance cycle from re-anchoring into the floor to a tip change.

Mounting hardware is in the box. Each UFB4505 is packed in its own poly bag with the mounting hardware, so nothing extra is needed to set one on a wood subfloor. Pricing and packing are per each, not per pair, so count one bumper per door leaf and two for a pair of doors when you build the order.

Twelve, which is what makes it easy to match across a building: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Paint Black, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, and PVD Polished Brass. The bumper is solid brass under all of them, so the finish choice is cosmetic. If you are standardizing a floor of units, pick the finish off the existing lever or hinge and order the bumper to match.

Height and where the door lands on it. The Deltana UFB4505 is a straight round bumper standing 1-1/2 inches tall, so the door face meets it well above the floor and the impact goes into the fastener straight down through the body. A dome stop sits lower and wider and is the choice where a taller bumper would be a trip hazard in a walking path: the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops, the Emtek 2251 half dome, or the Orca Hardware 23LP Series low rise dome. A gooseneck reaches up and over instead, for doors that need contact higher on the leaf. Either way, a floor stop puts the load in the floor rather than in drywall, which is why it beats a base-mounted wall bumper on a hollow partition.

Deltana lists the UFB4505 as commercial, and the body is solid brass rather than a hollow shell, which is why it holds up in an office or multi-family corridor. For openings that take a real beating, doors held back hard all day or kicked, there are heavier options: the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops are both listed as heavy duty.

No - they solve different openings. A gooseneck stop such as the Delaney 40118X, the Emtek 2253 goose style, or the Orca Hardware 22HD arches up from its floor anchor to meet the face of the door well above the floor line, which is what you want when the door has a tall undercut or swings over carpet. The UFB4505 is a 1-1/2 inch upright round bumper that meets the door low, near the bottom rail. Two further differences worth checking before you swap: the Orca 22HD lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch, and it functions as a door holder rather than a plain stop. The anchor location on the floor also differs, so a gooseneck rarely reuses the hole a round bumper left behind.

Shape and how much of the door they catch. Dome stops present a low hemisphere on the floor - the Delaney 40260X dome stop, the Emtek 2251 half dome, the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops, and the Orca Hardware 23LP low rise dome all take that form. The Deltana UFB4505 is an upright round bumper 1-1/2 inches tall in solid brass, so it presents a taller cylinder and meets the door higher up the leaf. On a door with a large gap under it, the taller upright makes contact where a low dome may not; on a low-clearance opening the dome is the shape that fits.

Not where the clearance changes from opening to opening. The Deltana UFB4505 is a fixed 1-1/2 inch bumper, so it suits doors whose undercut is consistent and known. Where it is not - carpet in some units and bare slab in others, or floors that have settled - the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is built with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, so one part number covers a range of gaps and gets dialed in at the opening instead of being specified per door.

Not this one. The Deltana UFB4505 is a plain surface-mounted brass bumper set with the mounting hardware it ships with, and it has no tamper-resistant feature. For an abuse-prone corridor or a building where stops go missing, the Ives FS18S / FS18L security floor stop is the part built for that duty. Keep the UFB4505 for unit interiors and lower-traffic openings.

Yes, and that is the intent. Unlacquered brass is supplied with no protective topcoat, so it tones down and patinas with handling and time, which is what people want when they are matching unlacquered levers and hinges elsewhere in the house. If you want the bright brass look to stay put, order Polished Brass or PVD Polished Brass instead; Antique Brass and Brushed Brass are the other two brass tones offered on the UFB4505.
