Deltana UFB6000 Round Universal Floor Bumper 3", Solid Brass

Height is the whole question with a floor stop, and the Deltana UFB6000 is a tall one: it stands 3 inches off the floor. That gives it room to be struck by the door face or bottom rail even where the leaf is undercut for thick carpet and pad, or where the finish floor sits well below the door bottom. For scale, it stands twice the height of the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inches. A short dome stop under an inch can vanish into a carpet pile and let the door swing right over it, and then the lever finds the drywall.

It only stops it. The UFB6000 is a round floor bumper, 3 inches tall in solid brass, with nothing on it to catch or retain the leaf, so the door rebounds off it and swings back. If the job actually needs the door to stay put, look at a holder instead: the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder, the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop, or the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck, which is listed as a door holder rather than a stop.

Go low profile. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is a low rise dome, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 x 1-1/4 inches, and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper is 1-1/2 inches. Any of those keeps the obstruction down in a walk path or a tight doorway. The trade off runs the other way from the UFB6000 at 3 inches: the lower the stop, the less undercut and floor covering it can clear before the door passes over the top of it, so measure the gap under the leaf at the point where the stop will land.

The nearest same-shape option is the Emtek 2257, a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. Both are floor-mounted posts that take the door on a straight cylindrical body rather than a dome or a curved neck. The difference is where they catch the door: the Deltana UFB6000 is a 3 inch round universal floor bumper in solid brass, so it contacts higher up the door face, while the Emtek 2257 at 1-1/2 inch contacts lower. If a shorter post still works for the swing, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper is smaller again at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. Where the stop lands on the door decides this one, so measure the arc of the swing before choosing height.

The Deltana UFB6000 is a floor-mounted bumper: it stops the door at the end of its swing and lets it close again. To hold the door open you want a holder. The Ives FS40, FS41, FS42 and FS43 are automatic floor stops and holders with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, so the same unit catches the door and keeps it there. The Orca Hardware 22HD gooseneck floor stop is listed with a door holder function and covers 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, heavy duty, which uses a magnet to keep the door open rather than friction. For a lobby or corridor door that has to stand open during move-ins or deliveries, one of these replaces the bumper rather than supplementing it.

A straight post only works when the door edge passes over it at that height. The Deltana UFB6000 is a 3 inch round universal floor bumper, so it reaches the door at 3 inches off the floor. Where the door sits higher above the finished floor - over carpet, a raised threshold, or a deliberate undercut for airflow - a gooseneck reaches up and curves in to meet the door face. The Delaney 40118X is a gooseneck floor door stop, the Emtek 2253 is a goose style door stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD is a gooseneck floor stop with a black tip listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. Measure from the finished floor to the point on the door you want the stop to touch, then pick the shape that reaches it.

Twelve finishes, so a fleet of openings can be matched to whatever is already on the levers and hinges: 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. Size does not change with finish. Every one of them is the same 3 inch round brass bumper, so you can order a single model number across the property and vary only the finish by floor or by building.

PVD Polished Brass stays put. It is a vacuum deposited coating over the brass and it resists tarnish and handling, which is what you want on a stop that gets kicked and mopped in a lobby. Unlacquered Brass is a living finish with no coating on it, so it darkens and patinas unevenly with contact and cleaning chemicals. That is the point of it in a restoration or a residence, and it is a maintenance complaint waiting to happen in a rental fleet. Both are offered on the UFB6000, along with Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, and Antique Brass if you want the brass tone without either extreme.

They differ in how high they reach up to meet the door. A round floor bumper like the Deltana UFB6000 is a straight column standing 3 inches off the floor, so the door face or bottom rail hits it square. A dome stop sits low and wide, which keeps it out of the traffic path but needs a door with very little clearance underneath, as with the Ives FS17 brass floor dome stop or the Orca 23LP low rise dome. A gooseneck curves up off a small floor base to put the contact tip high against the door, useful over thick flooring or where the base has to stay small, as with the Delaney gooseneck floor door stop or the Emtek 2253 goose style stop.

Dome stops sit much closer to the floor than a 3 inch post. The Orca Hardware 23LP is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip and a door stop function. The Emtek 2251 is a half dome door stop and the Delaney 40260X is a dome stop. In brass, the Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy-duty brass floor dome stops with rubber bumpers. The trade-off is contact point: a dome catches the door low near its bottom edge, while the 3 inch Deltana UFB6000 catches it higher on the face. In a corridor or a unit entry where a tall post sits in the traffic lane, the dome shape is the usual answer.

The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, so the wear part comes off the base and the base stays in the floor. The Ives FS17 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. If you are standardizing a portfolio and want the maintenance tech carrying tips rather than whole stops, the FS13 is the one that states replaceability. The Deltana UFB6000 is a solid brass 3 inch round floor bumper, a taller post that meets the door higher on the face than either dome.

They do different jobs. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, heavy duty - a magnet catches and keeps the door open until someone pulls it free. The Deltana UFB6000 is a floor-mounted bumper that arrests the swing and releases the door immediately. Swapping one for the other changes how the opening behaves, not just what is screwed to the floor, and the magnetic unit works as a set with a mating piece on the door rather than as a single floor fixing. Decide by whether the door should stay open on its own; if not, a floor bumper is the simpler part.

No. The UFB6000 is a floor mount bumper and it is meant to be fastened to the finish floor in the path of the swing. If the door needs to be stopped at the wall rather than at the floor, that is a wall bumper or a hinge mounted stop, which is a different part entirely. Worth checking before you commit: floor stops need a substrate that will actually hold an anchor, so a screw into a thin overlay or a hollow raised floor will pull out the first time the door is thrown open.

Finish is the only choice to make. The UFB6000 is the 3 inch round bumper in the Deltana UFB Series, solid brass, and it is ordered as one model with a finish selection behind it. Deltana builds the universal floor bumper family in more than one size and shape, but those carry their own model numbers, so if the specification calls for a different height you are looking for a different UFB model, not a different option on this one.
