Emtek 2257-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How tall is the Emtek 2257 floor bumper, and will it catch a door that sits high off the floor?
The 2257 cylinder stands 1-1/2 inches tall with a 1-3/16 inch diameter, so the door face lands on it an inch and a half above the finished floor. That covers a door with a normal undercut over hardwood, tile, or thin carpet. If the leaf is cut high, over thick pad and carpet or a raised threshold, 1-1/2 inches can pass underneath and the door never touches it. In that case order the 2258, which is the same cylinder at 2 inches of height.
2) Does the Emtek 2257 hold a door open, or does it only stop it?
It only stops it. The 2257 is a bumper, so the door swings into the rubber and comes back, and there is no catch, hook, or magnet to keep the leaf standing open. For an opening that has to stay propped, look at a holder instead: the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder has adjustable door-to-floor clearance, the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 x 1-3/4 inches, and the Orca Hardware 22HD gooseneck is listed with a door holder function for 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inch doors.
3) Can I use the Emtek 2257 floor bumper in an apartment corridor or other commercial opening?
Emtek specifies the 2257 as residential. On a door that gets cycled hard all day, a corridor, a school, a clinic, a hotel back-of-house, go heavier: Ives lists the FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops as heavy duty, and the FS13 carries a replaceable rubber bumper so the wear part can be swapped instead of pulling the whole stop. The Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is also a heavy duty option where the stop itself needs to resist abuse.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper from another brand?
The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper, 1-3/16 inch in diameter, made of solid brass with a rubber liner. The Deltana UFB4505 is a round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch in solid brass, so it lines up with the 2257 on height, round profile, and brass construction. Either one gives you a small round brass bumper mounted to the floor rather than a projecting stop, so the swap is a like-for-like change in appearance at the base of the door.
5) What should I use instead of the Emtek 2257 on a commercial opening with heavy traffic?
Emtek classifies the 2257 cylindrical floor bumper as residential, and it is built as a solid brass body with a rubber liner. For a commercial corridor or a high-cycle opening, the Ives FS13 and Ives FS17 are heavy-duty brass floor dome stops carrying a heavy duty rating. Both Ives stops keep the brass appearance at the floor while being specified for heavy duty service.
6) I need the door to stay open, not just stop. What do I order instead of the Emtek 2257?
The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical brass bumper, so it arrests the swing and nothing more. To hold the leaf open, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance and a heavy duty rating, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is specified as a door holder for doors 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch thick. Pick the holder by how the opening is used, then use a plain bumper like the 2257 only where the door simply needs to be kept off the wall.
7) How does the Emtek 2257 cylinder floor bumper mount, and do I need extra hardware?
One fastener, and it is already part of the bumper. The mounting screw is integrated into the 2257 cylinder, so the unit goes down as a single piece and there is nothing else to assemble on site. Set it where the door face lands, with the body being solid brass and the contact surface a rubber liner.
8) Will the Emtek 2257 match the oil rubbed bronze levers already on my other doors?
Not exactly, and that is worth knowing before you order. Oil Rubbed Bronze on Emtek hardware is a living finish that darkens and wears through to the metal underneath as it ages, so a new 2257 set beside levers that have been on the door for years will read lighter or more uniform until it catches up. The plated finishes hold their appearance: Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Nickel (US14), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Brass (US4), and Flat Black (US19) all stay put. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is the other one that changes with handling.
9) Is there a square floor bumper instead of a round one like the Emtek 2257?
The Emtek 2257 is round, a 1-3/16 inch diameter cylinder standing 1-1/2 inch tall in solid brass. If the trim on the job is squared off, the Deltana UFBS138 is a square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch in solid brass. Both are floor-mounted brass bumpers of similar scale; the choice between them is whether the cap reads as a circle or a square against the flooring.
10) What is a larger brass floor bumper than the Emtek 2257 for a bigger door?
The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical brass bumper with a 1-3/16 inch diameter, which is a deliberately small footprint at the floor. For a heavier or taller leaf where that reads undersized, the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch round decorative universal floor bumper in solid brass. Both are solid brass floor bumpers, so the difference is scale and the decorative treatment of the cap.
11) Which floor stop has a rubber bumper I can replace when it wears out?
The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop specified with a replaceable rubber bumper, which lets you renew the contact surface without pulling the stop off the floor. The Ives FS17 is the same heavy-duty brass floor dome stop family with a rubber bumper. The Emtek 2257 takes a different approach for residential openings: a solid brass cylinder 1-1/2 inch tall with a rubber liner and an integrated mounting screw, so it installs as a single piece.
12) Is the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder a substitute for the Emtek 2257 floor bumper?
No, they solve different problems. The SOSS MDH is a heavy duty magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, so it catches the door and magnetically retains it open. The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical brass bumper 1-3/16 inch in diameter that cushions the swing and releases the door immediately. If the requirement is a door that stays put once opened, the MDH answers it; if the requirement is protecting the wall or the trim, the 2257 does.
13) What is the difference between a cylinder floor bumper like the Emtek 2257 and a gooseneck floor stop?
The Emtek 2257 is a Cylinder series bumper: a squat brass post 1-1/2 inch tall and 1-3/16 inch in diameter that sits low on the floor and contacts the bottom of the door. A gooseneck reaches up from its floor base on a curved arm, as on the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip, which Orca specifies as a door holder for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. Contractors choose the gooseneck when the door needs to be caught higher up the leaf and the low cylinder when nothing should stand proud of the floor.
14) What is a lower profile alternative to the Emtek 2257 floor bumper?
The Emtek 2257 stands 1-1/2 inch off the floor, which is what lets it meet the bottom rail of the door. Where the door has a tight undercut or the stop needs to sit closer to the floor, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip, specified as a door stop. The Delaney Dome Door Stop is another dome-profile floor stop to consider in the same role.
15) I want a floor stop with a different profile than a plain round cylinder. What are my options in brass?
Several, depending on what you are after. The Deltana UFBS138 is a square universal floor bumper at 1-3/8 inches for a more angular look. The Deltana UFBP4505 is round at 1-5/8 inches with a pattern cap. If you want something with more presence, the Deltana UFBD3505 is a decorative round floor bumper at 3-1/2 inches. And where the stop sits in a walkway and you would rather not have a tall obstruction underfoot, the Orca Hardware 23LP is a low rise dome floor stop. All of those are floor stops, same as the 2257, so the choice is profile and height rather than function.
16) Will a brass floor bumper mark up a painted or stained door where it makes contact?
The door never touches the brass. The 2257 cylinder is lined with rubber, and the liner is what takes the strike, so the contact is soft against the door face. The brass is the body and the finish you see, not the wear surface.
17) What part number do I order for the Emtek 2257 in a specific finish?
It is the same 2257 cylinder bumper across the line, with the ordering number changing by finish: 225715 in Satin Nickel (US15), SPC225710B in Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), SPC225714 in Polished Nickel (US14), SPC225726 in Polished Chrome (US26), SPC225719 in Flat Black (US19), and SPC22574 in Satin Brass (US4). Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is offered as well. Height and diameter do not change with finish, so all seven are 1-1/2 inches tall.
18) How does the Emtek 2257 floor bumper differ from the Deltana UFBP4505?
Both are small solid brass floor bumpers. The Emtek 2257 is a plain cylinder, 1-1/2 inch tall and 1-3/16 inch in diameter, with a rubber liner and an integrated mounting screw. The Deltana UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch round universal floor door bumper with a pattern cap, so the exposed top carries a decorative pattern rather than a smooth cylinder face. If the rest of the hardware on the opening is unadorned, the 2257 is the quieter of the two visually.
19) Which floor stop should I specify where the stop may be tampered with or kicked?
The Ives FS18S/FS18L is a security floor stop with a heavy duty rating, built for openings where the stop itself has to resist abuse. The Emtek 2257 is a residential 1-1/2 inch brass cylinder bumper with a rubber liner and an integrated mounting screw, sized for interior doors in a home or apartment rather than an exposed public corridor. Match the stop to the setting: FS18S/FS18L for the abused opening, the 2257 where appearance and a soft contact matter most.
