Rockwood 465 Heavy Duty Door Stop

Everything to set it in the floor ships with it: one 1/2 x 4-1/2 inch lag bolt and one shield for the body, plus one #8-32 x 3/8 inch round head machine screw for the cap. The shield means it is anchored into concrete or masonry, so you need a hammer drill and a bit sized for the shield. Nothing extra to order for a standard concrete slab install.

The Rockwood 465 is a floor stop only - it stops the door and protects the wall on heavily used openings. When the opening also has to hold, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is listed as a door holder. For a hold that releases without a mechanical catch underfoot, the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches.

A dome stop like the Rockwood 465 mounts in the floor under the door leaf, so it only works where the swing brings the door over the anchor point. Where the stop has to reach up to the door face instead, a goose neck style is the usual answer: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip all use that riser profile. The Orca 22HD covers 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch door thicknesses.

The 465 anchors with a 4-1/2 inch lag bolt driven into a shield, which is an expansion anchor for concrete or masonry. Over carpet, tile, or wood finish you are drilling through to the slab below, and you need enough depth for a 4-1/2 inch bolt. Where there is no slab to reach, a surface floor bumper like the Deltana UFB4505 or the Emtek 2254 is the practical route.

It is built for commercial service, and the heavy duty construction is aimed at doors that get slammed all day, schools, hospitals, offices, hotels, and detention work. The bumper itself is a flame resistant high impact material, and the cap is a separate screwed-on piece rather than a molded-in one. For comparable heavy duty brass floor domes, the Ives FS13 and FS17 sit in the same class.

The cap on the 465 is fastened with a #8-32 x 3/8 inch round head machine screw, so the top comes off without pulling the anchored body out of the floor. That matters on a fleet of doors, since you service the stop in place rather than re-drilling. The Ives FS13 is another dome stop we carry with a replaceable rubber bumper.

They are not the same class of part. The Rockwood 465 is a heavy duty floor door stop built for heavily used doors, anchored with a 1/2 by 4-1/2 inch lag bolt and shield with a #8-32 by 3/8 inch machine screw holding the cap. The Deltana UFB4505 is a round universal floor door bumper 1-1/2 inches in solid brass, the UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch round bumper with a pattern cap, and the UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch decorative round floor bumper. Those are bumper-style stops in solid brass; the 465 is a lag-anchored heavy duty dome with a flame resistant high impact bumper.

The Rockwood 465 is a commercial heavy duty floor stop with a two-piece body and cap held by a #8-32 machine screw. Where the opening calls for a tamper-resistant profile, the Ives FS18S/FS18L is a heavy duty security floor stop. That is the substitution to make when the concern is what a stop can be pried off or picked at rather than how much impact it absorbs.

The Rockwood 465 is built for heavily used doors and anchors with a 1/2 by 4-1/2 inch lag bolt and shield, which is more anchoring than a light interior opening needs. Simpler dome and bumper options include the Delaney Dome Door Stop, the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop, and the Emtek 2257, a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. These are single-piece bumper profiles rather than a heavy duty two-piece dome with a replaceable-style cap.

Satin chrome, 626 in BHMA terms and US26D in the older US finish code. That is the standard match for satin chrome lever sets, closers, and push plates on commercial openings, so it blends into a building already standardized on 626 hardware. Only the one finish is offered on the 465, so there is no color decision to make when you order.
