Sure-Loc DS3 11P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch spring door stop protect the wall behind a bedroom or bathroom door?
That's exactly what it's built for. The Sure-Loc spring door stop mounts on the wall or baseboard behind the door, and the coiled spring flexes and absorbs the swing instead of letting the knob or the door edge hit the drywall. It's a residential-grade stop, so interior openings in homes, apartments, and rental units are the right application. For a garage, back-of-house, or a commercial corridor taking constant traffic, step up to a rigid stop such as the Orca Hardware TH-30HD instead.
2) Does a spring door stop hold the door open, or just stop it?
It only stops the door. The Sure-Loc spring stop cushions the swing and bounces the door back slightly; it has no catch, magnet, or hook to hold a door in the open position. If you need the door to stay open, that's a door holder, not a stop, and the Orca Hardware TH-30HD is listed as a door holder. The Hager 212 is a rigid stop with an adjustable 80 to 120 degree range if what you really want is to control how far the door opens.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch spring door stop from another brand?
The Orca Hardware TH-3118 is a 3-1/8 inch spring door stop, the same length and the same spring type as the Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch spring door stop, and Orca catalogs its function as Door Stop. If you are matching an existing 3-1/8 inch spring stop at the baseboard and the hole pattern is already drilled, those two are the pair to compare.
4) What is the difference between a spring door stop and a rigid door stop?
A spring stop such as the Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch flexes and cushions the door as it arrives, absorbing the swing. A rigid stop does not flex: the Hager 212 is an adjustable rigid door stop that sets where the door halts within an 80 to 120 degree range, and the Orca TH-30HD is a rigid stop that Orca lists with a Door Holder function, meaning it is built to hold the door at the stop point rather than just cushion it. Choose the spring stop where you want give and wall protection, the rigid stop where you want the door arrested at a set opening angle or held open.
5) What finishes does the Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch spring door stop come in?
Seven, and the finish codes are the ones you'd match to the rest of the hardware on the opening: 3 Polished Brass, SB Satin Brass, 15 Satin Nickel, 15A Antique Nickel, 26 Polished Chrome, 11P Vintage Bronze, and FBL Flat Black. Property managers standardizing a building can order one code across every unit. If you already have Sure-Loc knobs or hinges on the doors, order the stop in the matching code rather than by finish name, since brass and nickel tones vary between makers.
6) Should I use a spring door stop or a baseboard stop on my interior doors?
Both mount low on the wall, but they behave differently. A spring stop like the Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch flexes on impact, so it's forgiving on a door someone pushes open hard and it won't transmit the hit into the drywall. A rigid baseboard stop takes the door dead, which suits a door you want to arrest at a precise point: the Emtek 2231 is a 4 inch baseboard stop, and the Delaney solid brass baseboard stop adjusts from 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 inches so you can dial in the standoff. Spring stops are the common pick for bedroom and bath doors; rigid stops are better where the same door hits the same spot all day.
7) Can I mount a Sure-Loc spring door stop on the baseboard instead of the wall?
Yes. The Sure-Loc spring stop is a baseboard-type stop, so the base screws into the baseboard or the wall behind the door, whichever puts the tip in line with the door's swing. Mounting into baseboard gets you solid wood to screw into, which holds better than drywall alone. Set the height so the tip meets the door face or the door edge cleanly, not the knob.
8) Is a spring door stop enough for apartment turnovers and rental units, or do I need something heavier?
For standard interior doors in apartments, condos, and multi-family units, the Sure-Loc spring stop is the normal spec, and it's cheap insurance against drywall patching at every turnover. It's rated residential, so it isn't the part for a commercial corridor, a stairwell door, or anything on a closer. For those openings, look at a rigid stop like the Hager 212 with its adjustable 80 to 120 degree range. Buying one finish code across a whole property keeps the maintenance stock simple.
9) My door hits the wall before a wall stop can reach it. What should I use instead?
A wall or baseboard stop only works if the door's travel actually brings it to the wall behind it. Where the door swings into open space, opens past the wall, or the wall behind it is glass or tile you don't want to drill, a floor-mounted bumper is the right part instead: the Delaney 2 inch round solid brass floor bumper anchors into the floor and catches the door face. The Sure-Loc 3-1/8 inch spring stop is for openings where there's a wall or baseboard directly behind the swing.
10) Do I need to order anything else with a Sure-Loc spring door stop, or is it a straight swap for the one on the wall now?
It's a straight swap in most cases. Spring stops mount with screws through the base, so pulling the old one and setting the new one usually reuses the same general location, though you may land the screws in fresh material rather than the old holes. Nothing electronic and no strike or catch plate is involved on the door side, since a spring stop has no hold-open. Order one per door leaf, and on a pair of doors that's two.
