Door Stoppers Magnetic Door Catch - 2 Pack Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Door Holder Stops for Bottom Top of Door - Wall Floor Mounting No Drill 3D Adhesive & Screws Strong Magnet Keep Door Open

I was a little hesitant to purchase these. I was worried about the durability of the sticky tape adhesive and how well it would stand up to the pressure of separating a strong magnetic seal. My fears were unfounded.BOTTOM LINE:Many reviewers mentioned how strong the magnetic connection is between the two pieces. And it is strong. I was worried that repeatedly breaking that connection would put stress on the adhesives and cause them to peel away. I read that adding a few layers of tape between the magnets makes it easier to break the seal. While that is true, I’ve found it to be unnecessary. The magnetic seal is very strong when you’re holding the pieces and trying to separate them. But when they’re installed and you’re breaking the magnetic seal by pulling on the doorknob, the seal is much easier to break. The torque being applied to the adhesive pads is much lighter because it’s not being applied directly.MY USE CASES:I have two basement doors that won’t stay open. One is a hollow core door into a small office. I’ve been using a slide-in door stop but I really dislike having to bend down and remove it from under the door. And that style doesn’t protect my newly finished walls from the doorknob. So I was looking for something that would hold the door open but be easy to stop holding the door open 😉 and protect the wall from the door handle. It was also important that the solution not hold the door open too wide (narrow door into small room) and not require me to drill a hole into my new LVP floors. This door stop is just the ticket!I used the adhesive to affix both sides of this doorstop. I put the small end on the floor and the longer arm on the door. This placement maximizes the door opening space yet still protects the wall from door handle damage. This should also minimize any structural damage if I ever decide I no longer want a doorstop there.My second door is a solid 6-panel door into a walk-in closet. It is placed much further from the wall than the previously mentioned door so it swings open wider and meets the wall at an acute angle. I didn’t want the space behind the door to be unusable (nothing long poking out from the baseboard or stuck to the floor. I also didn’t want a metal arm sticking out of the bottom of the door where it might hit someone or something. So I’ve decided to place this doorstop at the top of the door. Here the longer piece will be at the top of the door, safely out of the way. And the short end will be high on the wall just a few inches from the curtains and barely noticeable. I’ll be using wood screws and drywall anchors to install that doorstop set as soon as the walls and door are ready.The one minor issue I experienced with the adhesive pads is that you must be very, very precise when applying them to the door stop pieces because you can’t realign them. Even then, it seems impossible to get them exactly placed.

Magnetic Door Stop: $11.98 at the time of reviewSo, a doorstop is not usually the kind of thing that I would write a review for. I mean, they either work, or they don't, right? On top of that, as of the time that I'm writing this review, there are over 800 ratings on this doorstop. All of that having been said, though, I was impressed enough with this doorstop to want to write a review. So here we go.I'm gonna be honest, I don't really have anything negative to say about this. So it's just going to be a list of things that I liked. First and foremost, this convenient kit for a really reasonable price (only about $12 bucks at the time of review) comes with everything you'll need to get it installed in about five to ten minutes. You have the doorstop, the magnetic plate (for attaching to the door), two adhesive pads, screws, and even drywall anchors.And speaking of installation, it really was super quick. I was a little skeptical, but I opted for the adhesive pads in Lou of using screws. I didn't feel good about putting holes into my baseboard and door. I figured in a worst-case scenario, I might have to do that anyhow, if the adhesive didn't work. That being said, the adhesive, works. I mean, like, it really WORKS. I follow the basic rule of attaching long-term adhesive to something: use a moderate amount of pressure for about 30 to 60 seconds once you've placed the adhesive down on the surfaces do you want to adhere. To make sure the magnetic strike plate and doorstop lined up, I just put the adhesive on each end (where it belongs), then attached the strike plate to the magnet as it normally would in use. Then I lined it up, where I wanted it, and pushed the door against it. The end result was a perfectly lined up doorstop. And I didn’t even have to drill anything!As of this review, I've had this doorstop installed for just under three months. The magnets are really strong, and the adhesive is showing no signs of weakening. This thing has been great. This is a super easy five stars out of five for me. I totally order this over again. In fact, I might do just that as there is another door in our house that needs a doorstop replaced.

Was easy to install and serves its purpose well. The magnet is really strong. I have to tug fairly forcefully on the door to separate it from the stopper. Seems a lot better option than putting a door stop in front of the door to trip over.

For year, I tried multiple different door stoppers for room with hardwood floors. They just don't hold as any form of dust on the floor makes them useless to stay in place, even the ones that are made of softer rubber.Solution: don't use something that requires the floor. I mounted the base on the floor with the included 2 sided sticky piece. Aligning the part that goes on the door was a little tricky to get it to line up right. You'll have to take the sticky tape of and stick the piece to the base then slid the door into place to stick to it and hold it there. If you try to line it up by sticking the piece to the door where you think it will match, even at an inch away, it will not be perfectly lined up.It works like a charm. I am so happy with this. The magnet is string enough that you need a little force to remove it, which is what I was looking for.

Works perfect for a bedroom door that wouldn’t stay open and the dogs kept getting blocked in. Easy installation and no more need for a door stop.

Easy to install…great lock!

I rarely am enthused about anything I get on Amazon, but this is an exception. I was skeptical if this would work well, but it is really well designed and functions great. The magnet actually holds. I used the adhesive pads, and was supprised how strong they are. The bonus is the impact absorbing design is excellent so it doesn’t slam the baseboard.

The doorstop was very easy to install and works exactly as described. Very pleased with results.

Easy to install. Has 2 options of either sticky tabs or screws.

Works as it should.

Nice door stopper holds the door open strongly

I found the product easy to install (used the screws). So far working great.
