Door Stops
At Mill Timber Direct, we recognise that even the smallest pieces of ironmongery can play a big part in both performance and aesthetics. Our dedicated range of Door Stops is designed to protect doors, walls and finishes by ensuring doors open safely and stay where you need them. Whether you’re working on a domestic renovation or a high-traffic commercial setting, installing the right door stop gives peace of mind that your hardware and surfaces will endure.
Choosing the correct door stop means thinking about usage, door swing, floor finishes and location. For example, wall-mounted stops are ideal for standard internal doors in homes or clinics where floor fixing isn’t desired, whereas heavy-duty floor-mounted or pedestal stops suit café or hotel entrances with wide-opening doors or kick zones. Finishes matter too – with options ranging from polished chrome and satin nickel to matt black, antique brass and robust stainless steel, you can match or complement the rest of your door ironmongery and timber frame aesthetic.
Our selection includes classic projection stops with rubber buffers, discreet floor-mounted shielded pins, and freestanding stops for flexible placement in open-plan spaces. All are specified with durability, wear-resistance and practicality in mind, making them suitable for both high-use environments and quieter domestic spaces. Each product is clearly detailed with dimensions, finish options and fixing guidance so you can choose confidently and complete every installation to a professional standard.
At Mill Timber Direct, our goal is to make specifying and ordering ironmongery as straightforward as possible. Every door stop in our collection is built for reliability, crafted from durable materials, and available in a range of finishes to complement your design. With dependable UK delivery and strong stock levels, you can count on us to provide quality hardware that performs on site and enhances the overall finish of your project.

Door Stops FAQs
What Are the Benefits of a Door Stop?
A door stop offers several practical benefits: it prevents the door from opening too far and damaging adjacent walls or furniture; it protects the handle, hinges and frame from wear and impact; it helps keep the door open in a desired position, improving accessibility; and it aids energy efficiency by preventing drafts if the door remains partly open. A simple fitting can enhance safety and extend the lifespan of your door hardware.
How Does a Door Stop Work?
A door stop is typically fitted either to the wall, floor or skirting board and acts as a physical barrier. When the door swings open, the stop comes into contact with the door or handle and halts movement at a predefined point. Some models use rubber or cushioned material to absorb impact and reduce noise. Others hold the door in an open position or automatically deploy when the door opens.
