Defend Your Interiors with the 1705 Polished Brass Oval Shield Door Stop
Interior doors carry surprising momentum, especially in lively family households or active commercial environments. When a sudden gust of wind catches an unlatched door, or someone pushes an entrance open too hurriedly, standard door handles can strike the adjacent wall with considerable force. Over time, these impacts lead to chipped plasterboard, cracked paintwork, dented skirting boards, and loose door hardware. Repairing this repeated damage creates ongoing maintenance expenses and detracts from the polished visual appeal of your carefully planned interior spaces.
The 1705 Polished Brass Oval Shield Door Stop delivers a dependable, attractive floor mounted solution to eliminate this common annoyance. Engineered from solid brass and shaped into a classic oval footprint, this low profile fitting arrests door swing safely before handles make contact with vertical surfaces. Its compact silhouette mounts directly to timber, laminate, tile, or stone surfaces, providing an immoveable barrier that withstands daily traffic without dominating the room or creating an unwieldy trip hazard.
Finished in a reflective mirror polish, this door stop complements traditional and contemporary ironmongery suites alike. At Doorfit, we supply high quality architectural hardware that strikes the right balance between long lasting utility and timeless decorative charm. Whether you are refurbishing a period property, fitting out modern boutique offices, or completing a residential renovation, this oval shield stop offers robust protection wrapped in warm metallic elegance.
Stage by Stage Architectural Performance
Solid Brass Foundation
Manufactured from high grade solid brass, the core body will not deform, crack, or bend under heavy force. The dense construction provides the structural integrity needed to withstand thousands of repeated door swings across residential properties and commercial venues.
Impact Dampening Rubber Buffer
A resilient, shock absorbing rubber buffer sits securely along the leading curved face. This durable insert softens contact, reduces sharp metallic clatter, and protects the timber finish on the lower edge of your door leaf from scratches and indentations.
Subtle Oval Shield Geometry
The low profile oval footprint hugs the floor closely, presenting smooth, rounded edges that do not catch shoes, vacuum cleaner heads, or cleaning equipment. Its streamlined shape offers generous protection while occupying minimal floor space in narrow hallways.
Lustrous Polished Brass Finish
Treated with a mirror reflective polish, this door stop brings warmth and classic architectural refinement to every room. It pairs effortlessly with existing brass door handles, escutcheons, butt hinges, and decorative joinery hardware across residential and boutique interiors.
Where and How to Install the Oval Shield Stop
Proper positioning is crucial when installing floor mounted ironmongery. The 1705 Polished Brass Oval Shield Door Stop should ideally be placed roughly two thirds of the total door width away from the hinge knuckle, toward the leading latch edge. Positioning the stop too close to the hinge edge creates immense leverage force across the hinge screws, while placing it too close to the opening edge can create an unnecessary walking obstruction. Finding that balanced location ensures the smoothest deceleration without stressing the door framing.
Because of its discreet shape, the stop works exceptionally well in properties where wall mounted projections are impractical. For instance, if your door swings against a full height radiator, a glass partition, decorative panel moulding, or built in wardrobe cabinetry, wall mounting a traditional buffer is simply out of the question. Securing this oval shield stop into the flooring material provides an immovable stop point, protecting both your joinery and your delicate fixtures without awkward wall brackets.
Installation into floorboards or concrete screeds requires standard domestic tools. Once marked, pilot drill into the subfloor, insert the appropriate plug if fixing into masonry or tiles, and fasten the unit securely using the supplied fixing screw. When fitted correctly onto a solid surface, the unit remains firmly anchored, resisting lateral forces even when heavy solid timber fire doors swing toward it.

Care and Long Term Maintenance
Maintaining the brilliant golden lustre of your 1705 Polished Brass Oval Shield Door Stop is straightforward. Because floor hardware naturally comes into contact with dust, shoes, and domestic floor cleaners, regular light attention helps preserve its showroom shine over decades of service.
- Dust the metal casting periodically with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove loose particles.
- Avoid aggressive chemical floor detergents, bleach, and abrasive scourers, as harsh chemicals can strip protective clear lacquers or etch into raw brass.
- Clean the black rubber buffer with mild soapy water on a damp cloth to keep the rubber pliable and free from built up dirt.
- If your stop features an unlacquered living finish, an occasional wipe with a reputable brass polish will easily restore full mirror brightness whenever natural oxidisation develops.
"A dependable door stop should be felt through its reliable protection rather than noticed through bulky obstruction. This oval shield delivers the reassuring permanence of solid brass in a neat, unobtrusive footprint."
