Pamex DD02-603 Riser for Dome Stop 3/8"

The DD02-603 is a 3/8 inch thick spacer that sits under a dome floor stop to raise it. You use it when the existing dome stop sits too low to catch the door, typically over thick carpet or a raised floor covering. It is not a door stop by itself, so you need a dome stop to mount on top of it.

Each riser adds 3/8 inch of height and has a 1-3/4 inch diameter base, so it matches the footprint of a standard dome stop and does not leave a lip sticking out past the stop.

No. The DD02-603 is made specifically to raise dome stops, and its 1-3/4 inch round base is sized to that footprint. A goose neck stop like the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop or the Orca 22HD Series gets its height from the arm itself, so if you need more reach at the door, switch to a goose neck rather than shimming a dome.

A riser such as the Pamex DD02-603 only raises the height of an existing dome stop, which stops the door but does not hold it. For hold-open duty, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is listed with a door holder function for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, and the SOSS MDH is a heavy-duty magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inch.

A riser is the shimming approach: the Pamex DD02-603 is a 3/8 inch thick spacer with a 1-3/4 inch diameter base made to go under a dome stop and convert it to a higher dome stop, so the existing stop and its footprint stay in place. Stacking risers only raises the strike point a fraction at a time, so when the door needs to be caught well above the floor, a different stop style is the other route - the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder or the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop reach up from the floor rather than sitting flat on it.

No. The Pamex DD02-603 is a 3/8 inch spacer that mounts under a dome stop to raise it; it has no bumper surface of its own. Floor bumpers such as the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch, the Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor bumper at 1-3/8 inch, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inch, and the Emtek 2257 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper are complete stops that take the door strike themselves. Order a bumper if you need the stop; order the riser only if the stop is already there and sitting too low.

It is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the standard covering auxiliary door hardware such as stops and holders, and Pamex lists it as heavy duty construction. Pamex classifies the part as residential.

If you would rather replace the stop than shim it, the Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy duty brass floor dome stops, the FS13 with a replaceable rubber bumper. On the residential side, the Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are dome-profile options. The Orca 23LP Series is the opposite direction, a low rise dome for thin flooring.

The Pamex DD02-603 riser is made for use under dome stops to convert them to higher dome stops. Dome-style floor stops in the same family of products include the Delaney Dome Door Stop, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop with gray tip, the Emtek 2251 half dome door stop, and the Ives FS13 and FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stops. Match the riser base to the stop base before ordering - the riser measures 1-3/4 inch in diameter.

The Pamex DD02-603 riser is designated residential and is a heavy-duty 3/8 inch spacer under an existing dome stop. Where the opening calls for a stop rated heavy duty in its own right, the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop, and the SOSS MDH magnetic holder and stop are all listed at a heavy duty level. The Ives FS13 also carries a replaceable rubber bumper, which matters on openings where the tip wears out on a schedule.

For units already fitted with Pamex dome stops, yes, the DD02-603 standardizes the fix: one 3/8 inch riser, 1-3/4 inch base, stocked in five finishes so it matches whatever trim is on each door. Buy it by finish, not by unit, and keep the common ones on the truck for carpet replacements.

The Pamex DD02-603 riser keeps the existing dome stop and adds 3/8 inch of height on a 1-3/4 inch diameter base, so the visible footprint stays small. If you would rather change the look at the floor, the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch round decorative universal floor bumper in solid brass and the Deltana UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch round universal floor bumper with a pattern cap in solid brass. The Sure-Loc DS-FL1 floor stop is offered with spring and modern door stop designs.
