Jamm
Two-Direction Decorative Door Wedge
Check Price
Bottom Line

Available in five colors and made from a hard, tough polymer, the innovative design of this door stop wedges doors in both directions, making it the hardest to dislodge of any door stop we considered.

Pros

Jamm's door stop is designed to slide beneath the end of the door rather than the middle. This wedges the door in place in both directions, which prevents the door from closing due to an accidental kick, or any curious pets or kids. It also prevents this door stop from obstructing walkways. The multiple color options will match virtually any home or office decor. Tough material will last for years with normal use.

Cons

This model's maximum 1" door gap is shorter than some other models.

Bottom Line

The soft material of this door stop allows it to be pushed further into the door gap than most models, while the included holder keeps the door stop located on the back of the door for safe keeping when not in use.

Pros

The soft rubber on this wedge will bend to go further beneath the door than more rigid door stops. For standard doors, this means the door will be held in place more firmly. The included decorative holder attaches to the back of the door. Holder also serves as a convenient storage location when the door stop is not in use, avoiding the common nuisance of the door stop being misplaced.

Cons

Heavier doors may squash the soft material too far down to be held in place.

Bottom Line

Multiple color options and a no-slip bottom designed for use on all floor surfaces highlight the features on this tough rubber door stop that is built to last.

Pros

The four color options match most home or office color schemes. Multi-packs including all four colors at once are also available. The sloped design works on doors up to an impressive 1.3" gap, which covers all but the largest door gaps. The no-slip bottom keeps the door stop in place even on smooth surfaces like tile. Works even with heavier doors. Wundermax door stops include a convenient holder that hooks to the door when the door stop is not in use.

Cons

Like many door stops, this model may not work as well in older buildings, where the door gaps tend to be larger.

Bottom Line

The simple installation, the strong aluminum material, and the one step release earn high marks for this versatile kickdown door stop.

Pros

The strong aluminum this door stop is made from will stand up to the heaviest door without bending from the weight. The Tenby comes with pre-marked guide holes meant to match previous kickdown door stop holes, so there is no need to make new holes if replacing an old door stop. The one-step latch prevents users from having to dirty the top of their shoe or, worse, pull up the door stop by hand. The rubber tip is adjustable, meaning this door stop can work on doors with gaps too large for many wedge door stops. Will grip on any surface.

Cons

Some users report that the door stop may come unattached with the included short screws, so securing the unit with longer screws requires an additional purchase.

Bottom Line

This traditional brown rubber wedge is sturdy and looks professional, making it a great fit for office environments or classroom buildings.

Pros

Features a ridged upper face for grabbing the door and wide base design to avoid slippage on most floor surfaces. This classic wedge door stop is wonderfully functional while maintaining a professional, uniform appearance in office environments. The 1.2" profile is large enough to fit most door gaps. The rubber is durable and will hold up to frequent use. Base is designed to avoid leaving scratches on non-carpeted surfaces.

Cons

The non-scratch base works fine on most surfaces, but may slip on some non-textured surfaces such as linoleum or hardwood.

A door stopper is an important component for any doorway that needs to stay open for long periods of time. In many homes, a door stopper exists in order to catch the door if it opens too fast. Rubber stops are common in smaller spaces; these door stoppers wedge against the underside of the door, holding it in place while protecting hardwood floors and painted walls. To save some money and avoid the hassle of installation, you may wish to choose a rubber door stopper you can place directly at the base of the door. Also available are door stoppers made of polymer and aluminum.
