Emtek 2233 Extendable Baseboard Door Bumper, 3-1/2" or 4-1/2"

Measure from the face of your baseboard to the closest point on the door at full swing. The 2233 is an extendable baseboard bumper with an extended length of 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 inches, so anything inside that range it will reach. Past 4-1/2 inches it won't make contact and you want a floor-mounted bumper instead, such as the Delaney 2 inch height round solid brass floor bumper. Also check what the door hits first: if the knob or lever strikes the wall above the baseboard rather than the door hitting the trim, a baseboard-height stop won't catch it.

A baseboard stop screws into the trim, so nothing gets drilled into the floor. That's the one to pick over tile, hardwood you don't want punctured, radiant heat, or where a floor stop would sit in a walking path or trip a vacuum. The Emtek 2233 mounts to the baseboard and extends to 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 inches to bridge the gap out to the door. Go the other way, to a floor bumper like the Delaney 2 inch round solid brass floor bumper, when the door swings past the wall entirely, when the baseboard is too thin or too soft to hold a screw, or when the door needs to be stopped further out than a baseboard stop can reach.

The Delaney DLY-40201X solid brass baseboard door stop is the direct counterpart: it is adjustable 3-1/2" to 4-1/2" and mounts to the baseboard, which is the same working range and the same mounting surface as the Emtek 2233, whose extended length is 3-1/2" or 4-1/2". Both are solid brass, so the two behave the same way in the opening - the stop picks up the door face at the baseboard and keeps the knob or lever off the wall. The Emtek 2233 ships as a complete set with screws included, so nothing separate is needed to fasten it. If the wall behind the swing is where the door lands and the baseboard is intact, either part addresses that opening.

The Emtek 2233 is a bumper: it extends 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" off the baseboard and catches the door where it lands, but the door still swings to whatever point the wall puts it. To fix the angle instead, the Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range, so the arm is set to arrest the leaf at a chosen degree of opening rather than at the wall line. The Orca TH-30HD is a heavy duty rigid door stop that carries a door holder function, which keeps the leaf parked open once it reaches the stop. Rigid arm stops like these mount on the door and the frame or wall rather than into the baseboard, so they suit an opening where the wall behind the swing is glass, millwork, or too far away for a baseboard bumper to reach.

No. A baseboard bumper like the Emtek 2233 stops the door wherever the door happens to reach the wall, and the only adjustment is the extended length, 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 inches. It doesn't set a swing angle. To limit the door to a defined angle you want a rigid stop: the Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range, which is the type that controls how far the door opens.

Screws are in the box. The 2233 ships as a complete set with its screws, so the only thing you decide when ordering is the finish. Hit solid backing behind the baseboard where you can, and on a hollow-core or thin-trim wall add your own anchor, since the bumper takes the whole force of the door swing.

Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). Those are standard US finish codes, so if you know the code on the knobs or levers already hanging in the building you can match the bumper straight off it. One note on US3NL: unlacquered brass has no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with time and handling, while the lacquered and plated finishes hold their look.

Emtek classes the 2233 as residential, so it suits houses, condos and apartment interiors rather than commercial traffic. For a busier opening, look at a heavy duty rigid stop like the Orca Hardware TH-30HD, or the Hager 212 adjustable rigid door stop, which are built for the constant cycling a corridor or a lobby door sees. Where the 2233 works well across a portfolio is unit interiors on turnover, where the brass finish is meant to be seen.

The closest like for like is the Delaney solid brass baseboard door stop, adjustable 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches. Same mounting location, same adjustment range, also brass. The Emtek 2233 gives you the wider finish choice, seven in all, which matters when you're matching a whole set of interior hardware. If you'd rather have something that flexes rather than a rigid brass post, Orca makes spring door stops in 3-1/8 inch and 3-3/4 inch lengths, but those are fixed lengths, so you have to know your gap before you order.

The Emtek 2233 is a baseboard bumper that extends 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" and arrests the door at the wall; it does not latch the leaf open. Among the alternatives, the Orca TH-30HD rigid door stop carries a door holder function, so it both limits the swing and keeps the door parked at that point, and the Hager 212 adjustable rigid door stop works across an 80 to 120 degree range. The Orca TH-3118 at 3-1/8" and the Orca TH-3134 at 3-3/4" carry a door stop function, so like the 2233 they arrest the door and let it swing back. Holders matter on openings where the door has to stay open for cart or equipment traffic; stops are what you want where the door must return to the latch on its own.

They catch the door from different surfaces, so the swap depends on the opening. The Emtek 2233 fastens to the baseboard and extends 3-1/2" or 4-1/2" to meet the face of the door up at trim height. The Delaney DLY-4029XX is a 2" height round solid brass floor bumper, so it anchors into the floor and takes the door low, near the bottom rail. A floor bumper puts a fixed projection in the walking path and requires drilling the finished floor, which rules it out over tile, stone, or a floor covering that cannot be penetrated. The baseboard bumper keeps the floor clear but needs sound baseboard behind the swing at the point the door reaches. Where the door strikes a wall and the baseboard is intact, the 2233 style is the one that matches the geometry.

Yes - fixed length spring stops cover a known projection without any adjustment step. The Orca TH-3118 is a 3-1/8" spring door stop and the Orca TH-3134 is a 3-3/4" spring door stop, both carrying a door stop function. Each is a single set length, so it either reaches the door face or it does not, and it flexes on contact rather than standing rigid. The Emtek 2233 is extendable, with an extended length of 3-1/2" or 4-1/2", which is what you want when the same part has to serve openings with different baseboard depths or different amounts of lever throw, or when the projection has to be trimmed in on site. For a repeat install where the measurement is already confirmed, a fixed length keeps the part count and the field decisions down.

Emtek carries the finish in the part number on the 2233: oil rubbed bronze is SPC223310B, flat black is SPC223319, polished chrome is SPC223326, satin nickel is SPC2233US15 and satin brass is SPC22334. Quote the finish along with the number when you order, since the base 2233 covers the whole finish range and the suffix is the only thing separating one from the next.

Brass is the substrate, not just the surface coating, with the plated and painted finishes applied over it. That's why the unlacquered brass option can be left to patina, there's brass underneath the finish rather than a coated zinc casting. Styling is Emtek's American Classic look, so it reads traditional next to colonial or transitional trim rather than contemporary.

The Emtek 2233 baseboard bumper is brass and comes in seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, and Satin Brass US4, which covers most of the finish schedules a knob or lever package is already specified in. On the alternatives, the Delaney DLY-40201X baseboard door stop and the Delaney DLY-4029XX round floor bumper are both solid brass, so the base metal matches even where the mounting surface differs. For a mixed building where some openings take a baseboard stop and others take a floor bumper, working in brass across both keeps the finish family consistent from door to door.
