Deltana UFBS138 Square Universal Floor Door Bumper 1-3/8", Solid Brass

Deltana's UFBS138 square floor bumper is classified as commercial hardware, and it's solid brass rather than plated zinc or plastic. For heavier commercial traffic where you want a replaceable strike surface or a hold-open, Ives builds heavy duty floor stops like the FS13 dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, or the FS40/FS41/FS42/FS43 automatic floor stop and holder if the door needs to stay open.

The UFBS138 is the 1-3/8 inch size in Deltana's square universal floor bumper line. That's the height the stop projects off the floor, so it has to reach the point on the door where you want contact. Measure from the finished floor to the bottom rail or lower stile face of your door before you commit to this one.

The Deltana UFBS138 is a bumper - it stops the swing and protects the wall, and nothing about it latches the door in the open position. For an opening that has to stay open, the parts that do that job are the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 Automatic Floor Stop and Holder, the SOSS MDH Magnetic Door Holder and Stop at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck, whose function is listed as door holder. The Orca 23LP Series dome floor stop is listed as a door stop, so like the UFBS138 it stops without holding.

The Deltana UFBS138 is a universal floor door bumper in a square profile, 1-3/8 inch, solid brass. The nearest peer by size and role is the Emtek 2254 Floor Door Bumper, listed at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, which is the same low-profile floor bumper concept at the same 1-3/8 inch dimension. The Emtek 2257 is a cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch, so it sits slightly larger and round rather than square. If the square face is what matters visually, the UFBS138 is the square alternative to those cylindrical bumpers; if profile shape is not a concern, the Emtek 2254 covers the same opening.

A bumper like the Deltana UFBS138 is a low floor-mounted stop that catches the door face near the bottom, so it depends on the door reaching down to it. Where the undercut or the door style puts the leaf out of reach, a taller stop is the fix: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop both rise on a neck to meet the door higher, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series Goose Neck Floor Stop with black tip is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors and functions as a door holder. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 Automatic Floor Stop and Holder is built around adjustable door-to-floor clearance, which is the direct answer when the gap under the door is the problem.

Mounting hardware is in the bag. Each UFBS138 is packed individually in a poly bag with its mounting hardware, sold one per unit. What isn't included is any anchor for the substrate you're fastening into, so on concrete or tile you'll want your own anchors.

Twelve finishes on the UFBS138: 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. If you're standardizing a building, the PVD Polished Brass holds its finish better than plated brass in wet or high-touch areas, and Unlacquered Brass is the one that will patina on purpose.

They're the same category and the same nominal size, but not the same shape. Emtek's 2254 floor door bumper is listed at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches, and the Deltana UFBS138 is 1-3/8 inch in a square profile rather than a round one. Expect a different footprint on the floor, which means the old fastener hole may not line up and the look will change.

The Deltana UFBS138 has a square face and is the contemporary alternative to the cylindrical universal floor bumpers. A dome stop presents a rounded top instead: the Delaney Dome Door Stop, the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop, the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops, and the Orca 23LP Series dome floor stop, which is described as low rise with a gray tip. The practical difference is the strike face and the visual line - square reads modern against traditional dome hardware, and a low-rise dome like the 23LP sits closer to the floor than a taller stop.

They look interchangeable on a floor plan but they do different jobs. The Deltana UFBS138 is a floor bumper that arrests the swing at a fixed point. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, which catches and retains the door magnetically - a larger footprint and a different behavior at the end of the swing. Specify the MDH when the door should stay put once opened, and the UFBS138 when it should stop and swing back freely.

No handing. The square universal floor bumper mounts to the floor and works with either swing, which is why it's called universal. Placement is what matters, not hand: set it where the door face will contact it before the lever or knob reaches the wall.

Yes. The UFBS138 sells by the each, one bumper per poly bag with its hardware, so a single-door repair doesn't force a case buy. For a fleet of units, order per opening and stay on one finish so the doors match.
