Rockwood 505-RKW US26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far off the wall does the Rockwood 505 baseboard door stop hold the door?
The 505 projects 3-1/8 inches from the wall. That projection is what decides whether the lever or the door edge clears the trim and any switch plates behind it, so measure from the baseboard face to the point on the door that swings closest to the wall. Cast brass body with a rubber bumper on the strike face.
2) What screws or anchors does the Rockwood 505 door stop mount with?
It mounts with a #10-24 x 1-1/4 inch hanger bolt. That is a wood-thread end into the baseboard and a machine-thread end into the stop body, so you are fastening into solid blocking or the stud behind the base, not just the trim. On drywall or hollow base with nothing solid behind it, you need proper blocking or a different anchor before this holds up to daily traffic.
3) Is the Rockwood 505 a rigid stop or does it flex like a spring stop?
Rigid. The 505 is a cast brass baseboard stop that takes the door on a rubber bumper and does not give. A spring stop flexes to absorb the swing instead, which is easier on the wall anchor when doors get slammed. If you want the spring type in the same 3-1/8 inch projection, the Orca Hardware 3-1/8 inch spring door stop is that alternative; Orca also makes a 3-3/4 inch spring stop if you need more reach.
4) Does the Rockwood 505 meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial specification?
It is certified to ANSI A156.16 with type number L02031, which is the standard that covers auxiliary door hardware including wall and baseboard stops. If your drawing calls out an A156.16 L020-series stop, this answers it, and the type number is what a spec writer or an inspector will want to see on the submittal. Rated commercial, not residential-grade.
5) My baseboard sits farther out than 3-1/8 inches, what door stop should I use instead?
The 505 is a fixed 3-1/8 inch projection, so it cannot be stretched to reach a door that sits farther away. For deeper trim, the Delaney solid brass baseboard stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches, and the Emtek 2231 baseboard stop is a fixed 4 inches. Hager's 212 is an adjustable rigid stop if you would rather set the stop angle on site.
6) What should I use instead of a baseboard door stop when there is no baseboard behind the door swing?
Baseboard stops such as the Rockwood 505 mount to the wall base and need a base to land on. Where the door swings to an open wall or a glass front with no base trim, a floor-mounted bumper is the substitute: the Delaney 2 inch Height Round Solid Brass Floor Bumper mounts to the floor instead of the wall. The Orca Hardware TH-30HD is a rigid door stop configured as a door holder, which is the choice when the door also needs to be held open rather than only stopped.
7) What is a direct alternative to the Rockwood 505 baseboard door stop in a solid brass baseboard-mount stop?
The Delaney Solid Brass Baseboard Door Stop is the closest like-for-like: it is a solid brass baseboard stop, adjustable from 3-1/2 inch to 4-1/2 inch, where the Rockwood 505 is a brass baseboard stop with a fixed 3-1/8 inch projection. The Emtek 2231 Baseboard Door Stop is also a baseboard stop, at a 4 inch projection. If the wall base is set back far enough that the 505's 3-1/8 inch reach does not meet the door, the Delaney's adjustable range or the Emtek's 4 inch reach covers the longer standoff.
8) What finishes does the Rockwood 505 door stop come in?
Four: 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. For a building where the levers and hinges are already 626, the 626 stop matches without a second thought. 613 is the dark oil-rubbed option that pairs with bronze lever trim, and 625 is the polished version of 626 rather than a different metal.
9) Is a brass baseboard stop tough enough for a school or hospital corridor?
The 505 is a cast brass body rated commercial, and Rockwood hardware of this type goes into institutional buildings, offices, retail, schools, detention, sports facilities, hotels and restaurants. Cast brass is solid metal through the section rather than a plated stamping, which is why it survives corridor traffic where a light residential stop bends. The mounting matters as much as the stop: it wants a hanger bolt into solid backing.
10) I need to standardize door stops across a whole building, can the Rockwood 505 be ordered consistently?
Yes. The 505 is a single model with one fixed 3-1/8 inch projection and one mounting method, the #10-24 x 1-1/4 inch hanger bolt, so every unit installs the same way and the only thing you pick per opening is the finish from the four offered. That makes it straightforward to spec one stop across a floor or a portfolio, with the ANSI A156.16 L02031 designation carried on the submittal. Openings with deeper trim are the exception and need a longer-projection stop.
11) Is the Orca 3-1/8 inch spring door stop the same thing as the Rockwood 505 at 3-1/8 inch?
They share a 3-1/8 inch dimension but they are not the same part. The Rockwood 505 is a rigid brass baseboard stop with a fixed 3-1/8 inch projection, mounted with a #10-24 x 1-1/4 inch hanger bolt. The Orca Hardware 3-1/8 inch Spring Door Stop is a spring stop, which flexes on contact rather than standing rigid. Match the mounting and the stop action, not just the length, when cross-referencing the two.
12) I need a wall stop that also limits how far the door opens - what is the alternative to the Rockwood 505?
The Rockwood 505 is a rigid stop that arrests the door at whatever point its 3-1/8 inch projection meets the wall base. The Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range, so the stop point itself is set within that arc. On openings where the swing has to be dialed in to clear adjacent millwork or a fixture, that adjustment is the difference between the two.
13) I am standardizing door stops across a commercial building - which options are rigid wall stops versus spring stops?
Rigid: the Rockwood 505 brass baseboard stop, which meets ANSI A156.16, L02031, and the Hager 212, an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range. Spring: the Orca Hardware 3-1/8 inch Spring Door Stop and the Orca Hardware 3-3/4 inch Spring Door Stop, which differ from each other in reach. Holding rather than stopping is the Orca TH-30HD, a rigid stop with a door holder function. Grouping a facility by these three behaviors keeps the spec consistent from door to door.
14) Which brass door stops are specified for commercial openings rather than residential?
The Rockwood 505 is a commercial-rated brass baseboard stop carrying ANSI A156.16, L02031. Among the brass alternatives, the Delaney Solid Brass Baseboard Door Stop covers 3-1/2 inch to 4-1/2 inch adjustable and the Delaney 2 inch Height Round Solid Brass Floor Bumper is the floor-mounted form. For a facility spec that calls out an ANSI A156.16 auxiliary hardware listing by number, the 505 is the one carrying that designation.
15) Can I get the Rockwood 505 with a bumper other than white?
The rubber bumper is standard white, with gray and black offered as options. On a dark baseboard or a 613 oil-rubbed stop, the black bumper is the one that disappears; white reads as the default and shows against dark trim.
