Trimco 1209 Series Extra Heavy Duty Stops & Holders

That's exactly what the 1209 Series is built for. The body is extra high tensile strength steel with an industrial rubber bumper, and all fittings are vandal-proof. It can't be taken apart without special tools, and no component can be removed and fashioned into a weapon, which is why it gets specified in schools, prisons and detention facilities, government and military buildings, and animal shelters and zoos.

The bumper size and how it anchors. The standard 1209 carries a 1-3/8 x 2 inch industrial rubber bumper. The HA option uses a 1 inch diameter stainless steel shaft embedded up to 7 inches into concrete, with a larger 3 x 2-1/4 inch rubber bumper. Pick HA where you have a concrete slab and doors heavy enough, or abuse severe enough, that a surface-anchored stop gets torn out.

Yes. The HA anchors with a 1 inch diameter stainless steel shaft embedded up to 7 inches into concrete, so you need a slab deep enough to take it. Over wood framing, raised flooring, or a thin topping slab that depth isn't there, and you should be looking at the standard 1209 with its 1-3/8 x 2 inch bumper instead.

Eight, and they cover both the utilitarian and the architectural side of a building: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. For matching the rest of an opening, 626 and 630 are the usual commercial pairings with satin chrome and satin stainless lever trim, and 613 lines up with oil rubbed bronze hardware in hospitality and multi-family.

It does both jobs at the floor. The 1209 is a floor-mounted stop, so the door contacts the rubber bumper before it reaches the wall, and the industrial rubber face absorbs the hit rather than transmitting it into the door edge or hardware. Trimco describes the series as protecting the door and its surrounding environment. If the door swings into a wall or a piece of casework and you cannot penetrate the floor, a wall stop is the different part you want.

Not without special tools. The 1209 is built so it cannot be disassembled without them, and every fitting is vandal-proof. That's intentional in detention and school work, where a stop that comes apart becomes contraband, but it means your maintenance crew needs the correct tooling on hand before they plan on field service.

Commercial. The 1209 is a heavy duty steel floor stop aimed at high abuse openings, and it's specified as commercial rather than residential. On a normal apartment or house door it's far more stop than the door needs, and the vandal-proof fittings make it deliberately awkward to service. For high traffic multi-family common area doors it does make sense, since those get abused like an institutional opening.
