Door stop AWTools AW23777 — 250 mm depth, 225 g

The AWTools AW23777 door stop is a compact mechanical stop made from a solid steel tube with a powder-coated finish. With a depth of 250 mm and a weight of 225 g, this door stop is designed to hold garage and gate doors in an open position while protecting walls and fittings. The device includes two springs to facilitate folding and unfolding, and a rubber bumper to prevent slipping and reduce impact on the door and floor.

Advantages

The AWTools AW23777 combines durable steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating for reliable indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Its two-spring mechanism eases operation when setting the stop in place or folding it away, and the rubber bumper improves grip and reduces noise and wear. The 250 mm depth provides sufficient reach to engage many door positions while remaining compact and easy to install.

Suitable for

• Garage doors and gates requiring a simple mechanical stop
• Utility rooms, entryways and residential doors where a low-profile stopper is needed
• Light commercial spaces where a compact, durable door stop is appropriate

When it may not be suitable

This door stop is intended for holding doors in position and is not a substitute for heavy-duty door restraining systems or security locks. It is optimized for residential and light commercial applications; for very large, heavy or high-wind exterior doors, a more robust or specialized retention device may be required. The powder-coated finish is corrosion-resistant but may not match the durability of stainless steel in highly corrosive environments.

Key specifications

• Material: solid steel tube with powder-coated finish
• Depth (projection): 250 mm
• Weight: 225 g
• Operation: two-spring folding/unfolding mechanism
• Bumper: rubber anti-slip bumper

How to use

Install the door stop on a suitable surface following standard mounting practice for floor- or wall-mounted mechanical stops (ensure appropriate fasteners for the substrate). To engage, fold the stop into the deployed position until it contacts the door; the double-spring mechanism assists smooth movement. The rubber bumper provides friction and cushioning between the stop and the door or floor. Fold the stop back when not in use to avoid tripping hazards.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure door clearance and mounting location to confirm 250 mm depth is adequate
• Check substrate type and choose appropriate screws or anchors for secure installation
• Consider environmental conditions; for highly corrosive or exposed locations, evaluate stainless-steel alternatives

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, mount the AWTools AW23777 on a stable surface and use appropriate fasteners for the wall or floor material. Regularly inspect the rubber bumper and springs for wear and replace parts if they degrade to maintain secure door holding and avoid damage to the door or floor.
