Pamex DD02-63 High Profile (3/8") Dome Stop

The DD02-63 projects 1-1/4 inches off the floor, so that's how far the door travels past the stop's contact point before it's halted. The base is 1-3/4 inch diameter and 3/8 inch thick. If you need the door held further off the wall, or the baseboard is deep, a gooseneck style like the Orca 22HD reaches out from the floor much further than a dome does.

Surface mount. The DD02-63 fastens to the finished floor through its 1-3/4 inch base, no coring or sleeve anchor required, which is why it works on wood and finished flooring as well as slab. The 3/8 inch thick base is the high profile version, so it sits proud enough to catch a door with a normal undercut.

That's exactly what the high profile version is for. At 3/8 inch thick under the dome with a 1-1/4 inch projection, the DD02-63 stands taller than a low rise stop like the Orca 23LP dome floor stop. Measure the gap under your door leaf first, the stop has to sit below the bottom of the door but tall enough to catch the face or the leading edge.

The Pamex DD02-63 is a dome stop, so it arrests the door and nothing more. To hold the leaf open, the set carries the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, and the Orca 22HD Series goose neck, whose function is listed as a door holder. All three are heavier-duty formats than a dome stop and change the way the opening behaves.

The Pamex DD02-63 is designated for residential use. For corridors, stairwells, and other commercial traffic, the Ives dome stops are the heavy-duty designation in this group: the FS13 brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper and the FS17 brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper are both listed as heavy duty, as is the FS18S/FS18L security floor stop. The FS13 takes a replaceable bumper, which matters on an opening where the tip is the part that wears out.

The Pamex DD02-63 is a surface mount brass dome floor stop with a 1-1/4 inch projection. The closest counterparts in the same dome format are the Delaney Dome Door Stop DLY-40260X, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop with a gray tip, and the Ives FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper. All four sit on the floor and arrest the door face on a raised dome rather than reaching up to the door with a neck.

A dome stop such as the Pamex DD02-63 projects 1-1/4 inch off the floor, so a door with a large gap under it can ride over the top. For those openings a goose neck stop reaches up to meet the door face: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop DLY-40118X, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with a black tip are the goose neck options in the set. The Orca 22HD is rated for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors and also functions as a door holder.

The DD02-63 comes in five finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black and 625 polished chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so 613 will read against oil rubbed bronze levers and hinges from any brand using the same code. Handy if you're standardizing a building of units on one look.

Yes, the DD02-63 dome stop is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware including door stops. Worth citing if your spec or purchasing standard calls for A156.16 hardware on auxiliary items.

A floor stop like the Pamex DD02-63 takes the force into the slab or subfloor rather than into drywall, so it doesn't depend on hitting a stud or on a hollow wall anchor holding. The trade off is a bump in the walking path. Use the floor stop where the door swings past a wall you can't anchor into or where the door would otherwise hit a cabinet or trim rather than flat wall.

A dome stop like the DD02-63 is a low domed brass piece surface mounted to the floor, projecting 1-1/4 inches, meant to catch the door face. A cylindrical or round bumper such as the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches or the Emtek 2257 at 1-1/2 inches is the same idea in a straight cylinder profile rather than a dome. The choice is mostly appearance and how much the piece stands up out of the floor.

They are related but not interchangeable. The Pamex DD02-63 is a dome stop with a 1-1/4 inch projection built to take the strike of a swinging door. A floor bumper such as the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch, the Deltana UFBS138 square universal bumper at 1-3/8 inch, or the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch is a low puck that the door rests against. If the requirement on the drawing is a floor stop, specify a dome or goose neck; a bumper is a different part.

The DD02-63 is the high profile dome, with a 3/8 inch thick base and a 1-1/4 inch projection. Where a lower silhouette is wanted, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop, and the Deltana square and round bumpers sit lower still: the UFBS138 square universal bumper at 1-3/8 inch and the UFBP4505 round universal bumper with a pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch. The trade is the reach up the door face, so confirm the undercut before dropping the height.

The Pamex DD02-63 is a brass dome offered in matte black 622, polished chrome 625, oil rubbed bronze 613, bright brass 605, and satin nickel 619, so it can be matched to the rest of the trim on the door. Alongside it the set carries the Deltana UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper, 3-1/2 inch, described as decorative and solid brass, the Deltana UFBP4505 with a pattern cap, and the Emtek 2251 half dome door stop. These differ in cap treatment and diameter rather than in what they do at the door.

A dome stop like the Pamex DD02-63 is a surface mount part for residential openings. Where the concern is the stop being pried or lifted, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy-duty option built for that condition. It is a different install from a dome stop, so verify the floor substrate and the fastening before swapping one for the other.

If you want the rubber tip serviceable rather than replacing the whole stop, the Ives FS13 heavy duty brass floor dome stop is listed with a replaceable rubber bumper. On a fleet of units where stops get abused, that's the difference between a tip order and a full hardware swap.

The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper and the Emtek 2254 is a 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch floor door bumper; both are set into the floor to meet the bottom edge or face of the door at a fixed low height. The Pamex DD02-63 dome stop projects 1-1/4 inch with a 1-3/4 inch diameter base, spreading the contact over a domed cap. If the door is clearing the bumper, the fix is a taller stop format such as a dome or a goose neck rather than a different bumper diameter.

They can be installed on the same job, but they are not the same part. The Pamex DD02-63 is a residential-designated brass dome with a 1-1/4 inch projection, while the Ives FS13 and FS17 brass floor dome stops are heavy duty, and the Delaney DLY-40260X and Orca 23LP low rise are separate dome series again. Standardizing a facility on one series keeps the projection, base footprint, and bumper tip consistent, which matters when the maintenance crew is stocking replacement tips.
