SOSS MDHBUS26D-HS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the SOSS MDH door holder mount on the wall or baseboard instead of the floor?
Both. The MDH mounts vertically to the floor or horizontally to a baseboard or wall, so if you have carpet, tile you do not want to drill, or a radiant slab, you can take it to the baseboard instead. That flexibility is the main reason to pick it over a fixed gooseneck like the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop or the Emtek 2253 goose style stop, which are wall or floor specific by design.
2) How far off the floor does the SOSS MDH stick up, and will a door clear it?
Projection is 13/16 inch, with a base 3/4 inch long and 13/16 inch in diameter, a 3 inch main stem, and 3-3/4 inch overall length. That is a low-profile footprint, so it stays out of the traffic path and out from underfoot in a corridor. What matters for your opening is the door bottom clearance and the swing radius: the stem has to meet the door face, not the undercut, so measure where the door lands at full open before you set the anchor.
3) What is the closest alternative to the SOSS MDH for holding a door open?
The SOSS MDH holds the door open magnetically with 9 lbs. of holding power and mounts vertically to the floor or horizontally to a baseboard or wall. Two peers also hold rather than only stop. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 is an automatic floor stop and holder with adjustable door-to-floor clearance, so the hold is mechanical and set at the floor rather than magnetic. The Orca Hardware 22HD gooseneck floor stop with black tip lists its product function as door holder and fits 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the magnetic MDH where you want the door to release with a straight pull, and the Ives automatic holder where you want a latching hold underfoot.
4) The door has a large gap to the floor and the SOSS MDH will not reach. What else works?
The SOSS MDH has a 13/16 inch projection with a 3 inch main stem, which suits a door sitting close to the finished floor. Where the undercut is larger or varies across a set of doors, a gooseneck riser bridges the gap: the Delaney gooseneck floor door stop, the Emtek 2253 goose style door stop, or the Orca Hardware 22HD gooseneck floor stop with black tip, which lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is adjustable for door-to-floor clearance, which is the one to specify when clearance differs door to door.
5) Will a Zamac door holder hold up in a high-traffic building, or should I spec solid brass?
The MDH body is Zamac with steel, and SOSS classifies it Heavy Duty for commercial service: office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, and multi-tenant residential. Where a purchasing spec calls out solid brass specifically, ZenSupply's solid brass floor stops include the Deltana UFB4505 1-1/2 inch round bumper and the Deltana UFBD3505 3-1/2 inch decorative bumper, and the Ives FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper. Note that none of those hold a door open, they only stop it.
6) I need a door stop for a door that gets kicked or forced. Is a magnetic holder the right pick?
For a security-sensitive opening, no. A magnet releases under pull by design, which is what makes the MDH useful for holding a door open and what makes it the wrong part where the stop has to resist abuse. The Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy duty option built for that, and the Ives FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop is a fixed dome alternative. Use the MDH where the goal is parking the door open, not resisting force.
7) Can I replace an existing dome bumper on my doors with the SOSS MDH?
The two do different jobs. A dome or low-rise bumper like the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a door stop only, while the MDH stops the door and magnetically holds it open at 9 lbs. If you are swapping in the MDH, you will be drilling new anchor points rather than reusing a dome's single fastener hole, and you will need the strike plate side landing flat on the door face. For a straight holder-function swap that stays mechanical, the Orca 22HD Series gooseneck is listed as a door holder and covers 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) Is a Deltana universal floor bumper the same thing as a SOSS MDH magnetic door holder?
No. The Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper 1-1/2 inch, the UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper 3-1/2 inch decorative, the UFBP4505 round universal floor door bumper with pattern cap 1-5/8 inch, and the UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper 1-3/8 inch are all solid brass bumpers that arrest the door swing. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop that additionally holds the door open with 9 lbs. of magnetic holding power. If the submittal calls for a holder, a universal floor bumper will not satisfy it.
9) I need a floor stop on a door that gets kicked or forced. Does the SOSS MDH suit that, or is there a better choice?
The SOSS MDH is a heavy duty commercial unit in Zamac/Steel, and its hold is magnetic, so the door pulls free of it by design. Where the concern is someone deliberately defeating or dislodging the stop, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the heavy duty peer built for that condition. The Ives FS13 and FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stops are the other heavy duty options where a fixed low dome takes the impact. Specify the MDH where the requirement is holding the door open in wind, and the security stop where the requirement is resisting abuse.
10) What is the lowest-profile alternative to the SOSS MDH for a corridor where a stop is a trip hazard?
The SOSS MDH projects 13/16 inch off the floor and can also be mounted horizontally to a baseboard or wall, which takes it out of the walking path entirely. If it must stay on the floor, the low-rise peers are the Orca Hardware 23LP dome floor stop, low rise with gray tip, the Emtek 2251 half dome door stop, the Delaney dome door stop, and the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. Note the MDH is listed as not ADA compliant, so verify the accessible-route requirement for the facility before setting any of these in a corridor.
11) How big is the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder overall?
The unit measures 3-5/16 x 1-3/4 inches, with a 13/16 inch projection off the mounting surface. For layout on a repeat install across a floor of units, that footprint plus the 3-3/4 inch overall length of the stem assembly is what you need to check against baseboard height when you go horizontal, and against floor finishes and thresholds when you go vertical.
12) For a residential or decorative opening, what is a simpler substitute for the SOSS MDH?
The SOSS MDH is a commercial, heavy duty magnetic holder and stop in Zamac/Steel, offered in 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome, 609 antique brass, and white. On a decorative opening where the door does not need to be held open, the solid brass peers read more like finish hardware: the Deltana UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper 3-1/2 inch decorative, the Deltana UFBP4505 with a pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch, the Emtek 2257 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper, or the Emtek 2251 half dome door stop.
13) Which floor stops can I standardize on across a facility alongside the SOSS MDH?
The SOSS MDH is a heavy duty commercial holder and stop, so the peers that sit in the same duty class are the Ives FS13 and FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stops, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop, and the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder, all listed heavy duty. A common approach is the MDH at exterior and wind-exposed openings where the door has to stay open, an Ives dome stop at ordinary interior doors, and the FS18S/FS18L where the door is exposed to abuse - one duty level across the building with the function varied by opening.
