Trimco 1206/1207 Base Stop and Holder

The 1206/1207 mounts on 3 inch centers, so the two fastener holes sit 3 inches apart. That is the number to check against the holes already in your base or wall before you pull the old stop off: if the existing unit shares 3 inch centers you can reuse the openings, and if it does not, plan on patching and drilling fresh.

Two fastener choices ship with it. Wood screws are the pick for a wood base or a wood-blocked wall. The combo pack covers both surface mounted and anchored applications, which is what you want when the stop lands on concrete, block, or metal stud where a wood screw has nothing to bite. On a mixed building, the combo pack keeps one order good for every opening.

Yes, the 1206/1207 is ADA compliant, and it carries BHMA L02121. For a school, healthcare, or government spec that calls out an accessible door stop with a BHMA function number, those are the two lines the submittal reviewer is looking for.

Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so if your levers and hinges are specified as 626 or 613, the stop matches without guesswork. All seven are offered with either fastener option.

The 1200 Series is a heavy duty commercial line, and the 1206/1207 is rated for commercial use, not residential. That said, if your real problem is students pulling the rubber bumpers off, the 1200 Series also includes CK versions built specifically as a high-abuse school design that resists tampering and bumper loss. In a K-12 corridor with a history of vandalism, spec the CK; in an office, retail, or university application, the standard 1206/1207 is the normal choice.

A base stop mounts low on the wall or baseboard behind the door swing, so nothing sits in the floor to trip over or foul a mop. Use it where the door opens close enough to a wall for the stop to catch it. If the door swings into open floor with no wall behind it, you need a floor mounted stop instead. The Trimco 1200 Series covers both floor and wall mounting, plus versions with hold-open, so you can keep one series across the building and pick the mounting per opening.

A plain stop only limits how far the door swings, so the door closes back on its own. A holder adds a catch that keeps the door standing open until someone releases it, which is what you want on a receiving door, a classroom you air out, or an opening crews move carts through. The Trimco 1200 Series includes both, so if half your openings need hold-open and half do not, you can stay in one series and one finish across the job.
