Orca Hardware 23LP Series Dome Floor Stop, Low Rise With Gray Tip

No. The 23LP dome floor stop is not ADA compliant, so keep it out of accessible routes where a low floor-mounted object can be a trip or cane-detection problem. For an ADA-sensitive opening, look at a wall stop or a door-mounted holder instead, or a magnetic holder like the SOSS MDH that mounts off the floor path.

Low rise means the dome sits close to the floor, so it catches the bottom rail of the door rather than reaching up to a stile. It works on a standard door hung with a normal undercut, but if you have a thick threshold, deep carpet, or a large gap under the door, a taller dome or a gooseneck style that reaches higher is the safer call, such as the Delaney Gooseneck floor stop or the Emtek 2253 goose style stop.

It is classified commercial, though the product description calls the application residential, so treat it as suited to light and medium traffic openings such as apartments, offices, and hospitality guest rooms. For an entry that slams all day, a heavy duty stop like the Ives FS13 or FS17 brass floor dome stop is the better pick, and the FS13 has a replaceable rubber bumper so you can renew it instead of replacing the whole stop.

No. The Orca 23LP Series is a door stop only; it cushions and limits swing but does not latch the door open. For hold-open, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder combines both functions, and the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop, 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, holds the door with a magnet.

The Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop in brass. The nearest same-shape alternates are the Delaney Dome Door Stop (DLY-40260X), the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop, and the Ives FS17 brass floor dome stop with rubber bumper. All four are dome-profile floor-mounted stops, so the choice comes down to finish match with the rest of the opening and whether you want the Ives heavy duty build.

The Orca 23LP is a low rise dome, so it sits close to the floor and suits doors with little undercut. Where you need the bumper to meet the door higher up, a gooseneck style reaches further: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop (DLY-40118X) and the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop both stand the bumper off the floor on a curved post.

The 23LP is a brass dome stop. If you want a heavy duty rating on the spec sheet, Ives lists the FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper and the FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with rubber bumper. The FS13's replaceable bumper is the differentiator for facilities that want to refresh the wear part instead of pulling the whole stop.

Same job, different profile. Deltana offers round universal bumpers in several caps, the UFB4505 at 1-1/2 inch, the decorative UFBD3505 at 3-1/2 inch, and the patterned UFBP4505 at 1-5/8 inch, plus a square UFBS138 at 1-3/8 inch. Emtek has the 2251 half dome, the 2254 bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inch, and the 2257 cylindrical bumper at 1-1/2 inch. Sure-Loc lists the DS-FL1 floor stop with spring and the DS-FL2 cylindrical stop.

No. The 23LP is a standard dome stop with no security features. For a detention, behavioral health, or other secure area, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the one built for that duty.

It replaces another dome-style floor stop of similar profile, provided the new anchor point works with your floor. Since the 23LP is low rise, verify the old stop was also a low profile dome and not a taller one, because swapping down in height can let the door swing past and hit the wall. If the existing stop was a taller dome, go with a comparable taller unit such as the Delaney Dome Door Stop or an Ives FS13 or FS17.

The Orca 23LP Series is listed as not ADA compliant, which matters on paths of travel where a floor-mounted projection is restricted. Options that move the stop off the floor plane include the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inch, and the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop, a heavy duty design intended for openings where a standard dome stop is not acceptable. Confirm the mounting location against your local accessibility review either way.

The Orca 23LP is a rigid low rise dome with a gray bumper tip - the door contacts it and stops. The Sure-Loc DS-FL1 floor stop uses a spring, which lets the post flex when the door hits it, and the Sure-Loc DS-FL2 is a cylindrical floor stop for residential doors. Pick the rigid dome for a fixed hard stop; pick the spring type where you want some give at contact.

Brass body with a gray rubber tip that takes the door strike. Brass holds up better than plated pot metal where the stop gets hit daily, and the gray tip is meant to be less visible against light flooring than a black bumper.

The Orca 23LP is a plain low rise dome offered in Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Stainless and Brushed Chrome. For a more ornamental face, Deltana lists the UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper 3-1/2 inch decorative in solid brass and the UFBP4505 pattern cap bumper at 1-5/8 inch. Both are larger-diameter faces than a low rise dome, so check the door undercut before you swap.
