Magnetic Door Stops and Solid Brass, Bronze and Iron Door Stops
Magnetic door stops are a great way to update your home or business and replace older and less effective methods of holding doors open. Before the Victorian era a door stop was simply a heavy object placed in front of the door (this could be a brick or large rock even). Later, door stops progressed through a series of designs from decorative heavy objects (usually metal), to rubber or wood stoppers jammed under the door and later to catches installed on the door to hold them open. Although many of these styles are still used today, the magnetic door stop is a wonderful way to update your current door stops with an easy to use and reliable method for holding your doors open.
Magnetic door stops use a magnet to hold a door open against an interior wall and release when the door is pulled shut. Older styles of door stoppers are easy lose and get kicked out of place or in the case of door catches, require you to hold the door open while locking it into place. Available in several designs, magnetic door stops are easy to incorporate into your current design theme. These door stops come in several finishes, including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, and Polished Chrome.
Magnetic door stops are produced today – allowing you to easily introduce them into your home or business. When selecting new door stops for your home remember to follow a few simple steps. First, the weight of a door matters when using magnetic door stops. If you have an especially heavy door, make sure to double check that the magnet will be strong enough to hold it open. Second, install wall bumper guards to prevent damage to interior walls from your door as well. Replacing the other old and worn hardware in your home (such as doorknob sets and lighting) will help tie the look together for you.
Magnetic door stops are readily available on-line as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction and be sure to ask questions. These door stops can be found on-line through LookInTheAttic & Company and they also offer free design assistance and help.
