Rockwood ROC-481-UD26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Rockwood 481 door stop work on a concrete floor, or only wood?
The 481 floor stop ships with mounting for both. Each one comes with 3 #12-24 x 1 inch flat head machine screws and 3 anchors, so the anchors handle concrete or masonry and the machine screws go into them. For an exterior opening, order it as 481 x EXP and you get the exterior pack screws, stainless steel plated to match the finish.
2) What replacement bumper does the Rockwood 481 take when the rubber wears out?
Order the 461B bumper. That's the reason a lot of facilities standardize on the 481: the cast brass base stays in the floor and you swap just the rubber, so a worn stop is a two minute fix instead of drilling a new anchor pattern. The bumper comes in standard gray or optional black.
3) Will the Rockwood 481 hold a door open?
No. The 481 is a stop only, it stops the swing and protects the wall but it won't hold the leaf open. If you need the door to stay open, look at a holder instead: the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, or the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop. Don't put a stop on an opening where the crew actually needs a hold-open, you'll just get the door kicked into it all day.
4) What is the closest equivalent to a Rockwood 481 floor stop from another brand?
The Rockwood 481 is a solid cast brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, measuring 2-1/2 inch by 1-3/4 inch with a 1-5/8 inch height. The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper, the same dome-stop form and the same replaceable-tip approach. The Ives FS17 is also a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. Both come from the same family of cast brass dome stops used on heavy doors, so a facility standardizing on brass dome stops can specify either alongside the 481.
5) The door swings past the wall and needs to be held open, not just stopped. What should be used instead of a Rockwood 481?
The Rockwood 481 is a floor stop only, so it arrests the door but does not hold it. For a hold-open, the Ives FS40, FS41, FS42 and FS43 are automatic floor stops and holders with adjustable door-to-floor clearance. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is listed as a door holder and covers 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch door thicknesses. 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 holds the door magnetically rather than mechanically.
6) What is a lower-profile alternative to the Rockwood 481 for a door with tight floor clearance?
The Rockwood 481 stands 1-5/8 inch high. Where the undercut leaves less room, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low-rise dome floor stop with a gray tip, listed as a door stop. Among solid brass floor bumpers, the Deltana UFBS138 is a square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, and the Deltana UFB4505 is a round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch. Each of these is a smaller-footprint floor bumper than the cast brass dome stop.
7) Is the Rockwood 481 heavy enough for a high traffic commercial door?
It's built for it. Solid cast brass body, not a stamped or plated pot metal shell, and Rockwood rates it heavy duty for heavy doors and high traffic areas. It's a commercial-grade part, which is why it turns up in schools, offices, hotels and detention work rather than on a residential interior door.
8) What finishes does the Rockwood 481 come in?
Two: 626 satin chrome and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. If you're matching existing hardware in a building, 626 is the one that lines up with the satin chrome lever and closer trim you'll typically see in commercial interiors, and 613 matches darker oil-rubbed bronze suites. Both are on the same cast brass 481 body.
9) Should I use a floor stop like the Rockwood 481 or a gooseneck stop?
A low dome stop like the 481 sits 1-5/8 inches off the floor and catches the door face near the bottom. It's the right pick when the door swings into open floor and the stop can land close to the leaf. A gooseneck reaches higher and further, so you'd use one where the stop has to sit back from the door path or where the door bottom is too far off the floor to catch a low stop. ZenSupply carries goosenecks from Delaney (40118X) and Emtek (2253), and the Orca 22HD gooseneck, which is listed as a door holder rather than just a stop.
10) What do I have to specify when ordering the Rockwood 481?
Three things. Finish, either 626 satin chrome or 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. Bumper color, standard gray or optional black. And whether you need the exterior screw pack, ordered as 481 x EXP, which supplies stainless steel plated screws matched to the finish for outdoor openings. The standard fasteners, 3 #12-24 x 1 inch flat head machine screws and 3 anchors, are in the box either way.
11) Can I put a Rockwood 481 floor stop outside on an exterior door?
Yes, order it as 481 x EXP. That swaps in the exterior screw pack, stainless steel plated to match the finish, so the fasteners don't rust out and streak the floor. Ordering the plain 481 for an outdoor opening gets you the standard pack, which is fine indoors but not what you want sitting in weather.
12) Which floor stop should be used where the wall is too far from the door edge for a dome stop to reach?
A dome stop like the Rockwood 481, at 1-5/8 inch tall, has to sit under the door leaf itself. When the door needs to be stopped against the wall instead, a gooseneck reaches up from the floor to meet the door face: the Emtek 2253 Goose Style door stop, the Delaney Gooseneck floor door stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip are all gooseneck-style floor mounts. The Deltana UFBD3505 is a decorative round universal floor bumper at 3-1/2 inch, a taller solid brass floor bumper than the standard low profile.
13) Are floor bumpers like the Deltana UFB series or Emtek 2257 a direct substitute for a Rockwood 481 on a heavy commercial door?
They are a different class of part. The Rockwood 481 is a solid cast brass dome stop built for heavy doors and high traffic areas, anchored with three #12-24 x 1 inch flat head machine screws and three anchors. The Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch, the Deltana UFBP4505 pattern cap bumper at 1-5/8 inch, and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch are single-point solid brass bumpers that cushion the door where it lands. For the same heavy-door duty as the 481, the Ives FS13 and FS17 are the heavy-duty brass dome stops in the set.
14) What floor stop should be specified for a detention or high-abuse opening instead of a Rockwood 481?
The Rockwood 481 is a commercial cast brass dome stop for heavy doors and high traffic. Where the concern is tampering or removal of the stop itself, the Ives FS18S and FS18L are heavy-duty security floor stops. That security construction is the differentiator against a standard dome stop such as the 481 or the Ives FS13 and FS17 heavy-duty brass dome stops.
15) Which floor stops take a replaceable bumper when the tip wears out?
The Rockwood 481 uses replacement bumper 461B, so the rubber tip can be swapped without pulling the cast brass base off the floor. The Ives FS13 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper as well. The Ives FS17 is a heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a rubber bumper. For a fleet of doors where tips take a beating, the replaceable-bumper stops keep the anchored base in place through the tip change.
16) I need to standardize floor stops across a whole building, is the Rockwood 481 a good fleet choice?
It works well for that. One cast brass part covers heavy doors and high traffic openings, it takes a single stocked replacement bumper (461B) so maintenance carries one spare rather than a bin of them, and the two finishes (626 satin chrome, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed) cover most commercial hardware suites you'd be matching. Rockwood hardware is aimed at institutional buildings, offices, retail, schools, detention, hotels and restaurants, so the same stop can go on the whole facility rather than mixing residential-grade parts into the count.
17) How much floor space does the Rockwood 481 take up?
A 2-1/2 x 1-3/4 inch footprint, 1-5/8 inches high. That's a small enough base to sit inside a normal door swing without becoming a trip point in a corridor, but check the anchor pattern against tile grout lines or a floor track before you drill, since all three fasteners land in that footprint.
18) For residential-look openings, what dome stop matches the Rockwood 481 shape in a lighter decorative style?
The Rockwood 481 is the commercial cast brass version of the dome stop, offered in 626 satin chrome and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed. In the same dome silhouette, the Delaney Dome Stop and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome door stop carry the dome profile in decorative lines, and the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low-rise dome floor stop with a gray tip. The Deltana UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper at 3-1/2 inch is a decorative solid brass floor bumper in a taller round form.
