Magnetic door stops are the elegant solution to holding doors open. Unlike traditional door stops that stick out and create trip hazards, magnetic stops are almost invisible. A small floor or wall-mounted catch holds the door securely when you need it open, then releases easily when you want to close it.

The frustration with doors is they either blow shut when you want them open, or you trip over the chunky stop holding them. Magnetic door stops solve both problems. They're discreet, flush-mounted, and far more sophisticated than rubber wedges or spring-loaded stops.

The system is simple: a small magnetic catch goes on the floor (or wall), and a corresponding steel plate mounts to the bottom of the door. When you swing the door open, the plate catches the magnet and holds firmly. A gentle push releases it. No bending down, no kicking stops around, no tripping hazards.

| Installation Type | Best For | Mounting Surface | Typical Strength | |------------------|---------|------------------|------------------| | Floor-mounted | Most interior doors | Any hard floor | Medium hold | | Wall-mounted | Tight spaces, soft floors | Skirting or wall | Medium hold | | Heavy-duty floor | Fire doors, heavy timber | Concrete or solid floor | Strong hold | | Adhesive floor | Rented properties | Tiles, laminate | Light-medium hold |

The critical part is alignment. If the door plate and floor catch don't line up perfectly, the magnet won't grip properly. We measure carefully, test the door swing arc, and position both components so they connect every time.

Floor type matters. On solid floors (tile, concrete, wood) we can screw the catch down securely. On carpet, we might recommend a surface-mounted option. On laminate or engineered floors, we'll advise whether drilling is appropriate or suggest alternatives.

What to Expect

**Before we arrive:** Decide which doors you want stops on and where you'd like the door to be held (fully open or at a specific angle). Clear the floor area near the door. **During the visit:** We'll open the door to your preferred position, mark the alignment points for both the catch and the door plate, and install both components. We'll test the magnetic connection and adjust if needed. **After completion:** Your door will hold open magnetically exactly where you want it. We'll show you how the release works and demonstrate the holding strength. You'll wonder why you didn't have this done sooner.

Good to Know

Magnetic door stops work brilliantly until someone fits a thick rug or mat in the door path - then the door can't reach the magnet. Let us know if you have floor coverings that might interfere. For rental properties, adhesive-mounted options exist but they're not as strong as screw-fixed. We'll advise honestly on whether adhesive will hold for your specific door weight and use. If you have underfloor heating, we need to be cautious about drilling into the floor. Always mention this when booking so we can plan the right approach. Magnetic stops aren't suitable for exterior doors or anywhere with strong draughts - the wind will overcome the magnet. For those situations, we'd recommend hook-over stops or traditional wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Magnetic door stop fitting in Exmouth

How much does magnetic door stop fitting cost?

Magnetic door stop fitting is £60 per stop for the first hour. Most single installations take 15-20 minutes. If you're having multiple doors done, we can often do several in one visit efficiently.

Will magnetic door stops work on my floor type?

Yes - we fit them on carpet, wood, tile, laminate, and concrete floors. The installation method varies by floor type. Some need screws, others adhesive. We'll use the appropriate method for your flooring.

Can magnetic door stops be fitted to walls instead of floors?

Absolutely. Wall-mounted magnetic door stops are great for situations where floor mounting isn't suitable. They work the same way - a magnet on the door edge catches a plate on the wall.

Are magnetic door stops strong enough to hold doors in windy conditions?

Standard magnetic stops work well for interior doors in normal conditions. For exterior doors or very heavy doors, we'd recommend traditional stops or hook-over door holders which are more secure.
