A mounted device to stop the swing or movement of a door at a certain point. Can be mounted to the wall, hinge, floor or to the door itself.
In the door hardware industry, a door stop is the strip of molding roughly 1" in width that prevents the door from opening the wrong way. The door stop lines the jamb and also hides the gap between the door and the jamb. (Not to be confused with the wedge-shaped stops used to keep doors open or the protective devices used to keep the door from damaging the wall when opened hard.)
The part of the frame upon which the door rests when closed. Limits the door's swing.
a piece of wood or some other material that is attached to the doorjamb to keep the door from swinging all the way through the jamb when closing.
The wooden style that the door slab will rest upon when in a closed position
A strip of wood or a small batten that is attached to the door jambs on both sides and on top of the door thus stopping or limiting draught and/or rain.
Door stops are objects or devices used to prevent a door opening too widely, and banging into the wall.
A door stop is the small piece of wood, usually 1 3/8" - 1 1/2" wide, that is attached to the door jambs on both sides and on top of the door. This strip of wood is where the door comes to rest when it is closed. It stops the door from moving any further, and also covers the gap that would otherwise appear between the door and the jambs.
