Emtek 2259 Cylinder Floor Bumper with Dome Cap, 1-1/2"

The 2259 is a 1-1/2 inch cylinder bumper with a dome cap. That is a full-height stop, so it works where the door leaf hangs low enough to strike the post but not so low that it rides over it. If your undercut is taller and the door swings past a short stop, a taller unit is the answer, and the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch round floor bumper. If you need shorter, the Deltana UFBS138 is a 1-3/8 inch square floor bumper.

Screws are included with the 2259. It is a floor mount stop, so it fastens down into the finished floor rather than into the baseplate or door. Into wood subfloor the supplied screws do the job; into concrete or tile you will want to add a masonry anchor sized to the screw, since anchors are not part of the pack.

Emtek lists the 2259 as residential. For a corridor in an apartment building, a school or a hospital where the door gets hit hundreds of times a day, go to a heavy duty stop instead: the Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy duty brass floor dome stops, the FS13 with a replaceable rubber bumper so you can swap the tip instead of pulling the whole stop. The 2259 is the right pick for unit interiors, single family homes, and light traffic openings.

A floor bumper like the Emtek 2259 sits low and stops the door where the leaf meets the post, so it is unobtrusive but it does become a toe catch in a walkway. A gooseneck arcs up from the floor to catch the door higher, which suits a door with a taller undercut or a bigger swing; the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series gooseneck are the alternatives there. The Orca 22HD is also a door holder rather than just a stop, so it parks the door open. If you want the door to stay open, a bumper alone will not do it.

The Emtek 2259 cylinder floor bumper with dome cap is a stop only - it arrests the door swing and nothing more. For hold-open, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is a heavy duty unit with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is a door holder that suits 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. The SOSS MDH is a heavy duty magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, which catches and retains the door magnetically rather than by a mechanical arm.

The Deltana UFB4505 Round Universal Floor Door Bumper is the nearest match. It is a 1-1/2 inch round floor bumper in solid brass, the same 1-1/2 inch size and brass material as the Emtek 2259 dome cap floor bumper. Both are cylindrical brass floor-mounted bumpers of the same projection, so either sits under the door leaf in the same footprint and takes the same anchoring point in the floor.

The Emtek 2259 cylinder floor bumper is 1-1/2 inch, which sets how far it reaches up to meet the door bottom. Where the undercut is larger, the Deltana UFBD3505 Round Universal Floor Bumper is a 3-1/2 inch decorative solid brass unit that reaches higher. For a much larger gap, the goose neck form gets there instead of a cylinder: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip both rise on an arm rather than a straight post.

Brass. The 2259 cylinder floor bumper is brass through the substrate, not a plated steel shell, which is why it holds up in an entry that gets kicked open daily. Emtek puts it in its Brass collection under the American Classic style, so it sits alongside the rest of that trim family on a job where the knobs, hinges and stops all need to read the same.

Five: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you are matching a whole house or a floor of units, note that the Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will darken with handling, so it will not stay identical to a lacquered brass stop installed years earlier. Oil Rubbed Bronze carries MPN SPC225910B if you are matching against an existing order.

Dimensionally it is the same class of part: a 1-1/2 inch brass floor mount bumper, same as the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch. What it will not do is drop into the old anchor hole every time, since the fastener location and screw count are the stop maker's own. Plan on a fresh pilot hole, or pull the old stop first and check the hole before you commit the finish flooring.

No. The 2259 is a residential bumper with an exposed screw mount and no tamper features. For an opening where the stop gets attacked, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy duty option built for it.

Yes. The Emtek 2259 cylinder floor bumper with dome cap stands 1-1/2 inch. The Deltana UFBS138 Square Universal Floor Door Bumper is 1-3/8 inch in solid brass, a shorter reach in a square rather than round body. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is a low rise dome stop with a gray tip, built specifically for tight door-to-floor clearance.

Two to watch. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch - it catches and retains the door rather than simply stopping the swing, so it changes how the door behaves at the open position, and it needs a matching strike plate on the door. The Ives FS18S/FS18L is a heavy-duty security floor stop, built for openings where the stop itself must resist tampering, which is a different problem from the decorative brass bumper the Emtek 2259 solves. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is likewise a holder, not a plain stop.

The 2259 has a dome cap, which is the plain rounded top most people expect on a floor bumper. If the client wants something with more detail on a period or high end interior, the Deltana UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch solid brass floor bumper with a pattern cap, and the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch decorative round unit. The Delaney Dome Door Stop is another dome profile option.

The Ives FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop is specified with a replaceable rubber bumper, so the tip is a serviceable part. The Ives FS17 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with rubber bumper. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop carries a gray tip and the Orca 22HD Series goose neck stop a black tip. The Emtek 2259 is a brass cylinder floor bumper with a dome cap in the same floor-mounted position, so any of these can take over the same anchor point on a re-fit.

The Emtek 2259 is a cylinder floor bumper with a dome cap, 1-1/2 inch, in brass. The Deltana UFBS138 Square Universal Floor Door Bumper is a 1-3/8 inch solid brass unit with a square body, while the Deltana UFB4505 keeps the round form at 1-1/2 inch in solid brass. The choice is about how the base reads against the floor and against the rest of the trim in the room - square bases line up with rectilinear baseboard and threshold details, round bases match the cylindrical stops and knobs typical of the American Classic style the 2259 belongs to.
