Description
Reliable Protection with Architectural Style
Doors that swing open without restriction pose a persistent threat to internal finishes in both commercial buildings and private homes. In high-traffic corridors, office meeting rooms, and busy hospitality environments, sudden draughts or hurried movement can send heavy fire doors crashing back. Skirting boards become scuffed, plaster fractures, and architectural lever handles can leave deep indents in decorated walls. Repairing damaged masonry or repeatedly patching paintwork creates unwanted maintenance costs and detracts from the professional finish of your premises.
The 1705 Satin Aluminium Oval Shield Door Stop offers a dependable, permanent solution designed to tackle this common challenge. Engineered from hardwearing aluminium, this compact floor accessory stops doors safely before they make contact with delicate wall surfaces. Its gentle, rounded silhouette guides door movement without catching on clothing or presenting a harsh tripping obstacle, keeping circulation areas safe, tidy, and functional over many years of heavy use.
Whether you are fitting out a busy school hallway, upgrading a healthcare facility, or simply finishing a contemporary residential renovation, selecting high quality ironmongery makes a lasting difference. At Doorfit, we supply architectural hardware that combines practical endurance with a modern aesthetic, and this oval shield stop delivers long term peace of mind across diverse interior applications.
Key Benefits for Modern Interiors
Resilient Aluminium Construction
Manufactured from high-grade solid aluminium, the fitting resists surface wear, minor impacts, and general daily knocks. It retains its structural integrity without bending, cracking, or degrading in high traffic zones.
Durable Rubber Buffering
A thick, shock-absorbing rubber buffer cushions door impacts quietly. It protects delicate timber veneers, painted door edges, and metal faces by soaking up the kinetic energy of swinging doors.
Low-Profile Oval Shield
The streamlined oval shield profile creates a compact footprint on your flooring. Its domed shape allows foot traffic and cleaning equipment to move past easily without catching edges.
Neutral Architectural Finish
The satin anodised aluminium surface complements contemporary hardware, from brushed stainless steel levers to aluminium push plates, maintaining a uniform design scheme throughout the building.
Installation and Placement Guidance
Stage 1 Planning the Position
Open the door to your desired resting angle, ensuring door handles, keys, and accessories maintain comfortable clearance from the wall. Position the stop so the buffer strikes the door leaf roughly two thirds along its width away from the hinges.
Stage 2 Subfloor Preparation
Check for underfloor heating pipes or wiring before drilling. Mark the fixing hole carefully onto your floor surface, whether timber floorboards, concrete, or stone tiles, to guarantee steady positioning.
Stage 3 Securing the Hardware
Drill the pilot hole using an appropriate drill bit for your flooring substrate. Insert the correct wall plug for solid floors, align the 1705 Satin Aluminium Oval Shield Door Stop, and fasten it tightly using a suitable screw.
Stage 4 Final Testing
Swing the door gently to verify that the resilient rubber buffer makes square contact with the lower rail. Check that the door cannot flex past the stop, securing complete wall protection for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this stop be fitted to carpeted floors?
Yes, it can be installed over carpet. For the firmest fix, make a small incision through the carpet and underlay so the base seats squarely against the solid subfloor, avoiding compression play when the door hits the buffer.
Where is the best place on the floor to position it?
We recommend placing the stop approximately two thirds of the total door width away from the hinge side. Placing a door stop too close to the hinges can put unnecessary leverage on the hinge screws and door leaf.
How do I keep the satin aluminium finish clean?
Wipe the metal and rubber buffer periodically using a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh bleach, chemical solvents, or abrasive scouring pads to ensure the anodised finish stays looking pristine.
