Installing Door Stops to Protect your Walls

Wall/floor mounted handle\knob style door stop:  For positioning, put your doorstop in place, 1 to 2 inches from the door handle/knob edge side of the door. Ensure the door will open to the door stop without obstruction or within an inch of touching the wall. Mark your holes, drill and fasten to the floor. Use plastic or lead expanding plugs and screws for concrete or tile surfaces. Use wood screws for wooden sub-floors, and drywall anchors for drywall.

Door stops that have a hold-open hook: Put your doorstop in place 1 to 2 inches from the door handle/knob edge side of the door. Install the stopper in the floor first using plastic or lead expanding plugs and screws for concrete or tile surfaces, then screw the hook catch to the door. Make sure the positioning of both pieces line up correctly before installing.
