Rockwood 519 3-1/4" Solid Baseboard Door Stop

The 519 has a 3-1/4 inch projection, measured from the mounting surface out to the rubber bumper face. That is the number to check against how far your lever, thumbturn or pull sticks out past the door face: if the trim projects more than 3-1/4 inches, the handle hits the wall before the stop does and you want a longer stop instead.

It is built to ANSI A156.16 and carries the L02031 function designation, which is the ANSI type number for a baseboard-mounted stop. If your spec sheet calls out A156.16 L02031, the 519 answers it directly.

For a longer reach, the Delaney solid brass baseboard stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches, the Emtek 2231 baseboard stop is 4 inches, and the Sure-Loc DS7 is a 4 inch solid stop. Any of those buys you more clearance than the 519's 3-1/4 inch projection when the trim or a wall-mounted item is in the way.

The 519 is a baseboard-mounted stop and needs a wall base to bolt into. Where the door swings over open floor or the wall behind it is glass or tile, a floor-mounted bumper such as the Delaney 2 inch round solid brass floor bumper picks up the strike from the floor instead. For an opening where the door also needs to be held open rather than just stopped, the Orca Hardware TH-30HD is a rigid door holder.

The Rockwood 519 is a cast brass baseboard door stop with a fixed 3-1/4 inch projection. If the door swings further from the wall than that, the Delaney Solid Brass Baseboard Door Stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches, and the Emtek 2231 baseboard door stop is a 4 inch fixed projection. Both mount to the baseboard the same way the 519 does, so the decision comes down to how far the door leaf travels before it needs to be caught.

Four architectural finishes: 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed, 619 Satin Nickel, 625 Bright Chrome and 626 Satin Chrome. 626 is the usual match for satin chrome or brushed levers on commercial openings, 613 for dark bronze trim. Pick to match the lever and hinges on the same door rather than the baseboard.

Rockwood classes the 519 as residential. The body is cast brass rather than stamped, so it holds up well on unit entry and bedroom doors in multi-family work, but for high-traffic institutional openings with heavy closers, a heavy-duty holder such as the Orca TH-30HD is the closer match.

Both are solid, non-flexing stops. The Rockwood 519 projects 3-1/4 inches, is cast brass with a rubber bumper, comes in 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome, and is certified to ANSI A156.16, L02031. The Sure-Loc DS7 is a 4 inch solid door stop. Choose on projection: measure from the finished wall base to the point on the door that needs catching, and match it.

They solve different problems. The Rockwood 519 is a 3-1/4 inch solid baseboard stop that simply arrests the door where it meets the wall. The Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop with an 80 to 120 degree range, meaning the stop point itself is set by degree of swing rather than by wall projection. If the requirement on the drawing is a specific opening angle, the 212 addresses it; if it is a wall-protection stop at the baseboard, the 519 does.

Yes. The standard rubber bumper is white, with gray and black offered as options. On dark baseboard or where scuffing shows, the black or gray bumper is the one to ask for, since a white tip on dark trim is what gets noticed first.
