How to do it
Step 1
WALL MOUNTED DOOR STOP
Open the door so it is parallel to the wall where you want to fix the doorstop.
Step 2
Holding the wall-mounted doorstop in place, mark on the skirting where the doorstop will be positioned.
Step 3
Separate the two parts of the door stop and use a woodscrew to attach the base of the doorstop to the skirting.
Step 4
Then attach the top part to complete the job.
Step 5
Now your wall mounted door stop is installed.
Step 6
FLOOR MOUNTED DOOR STOP
Open the door to where you would like it to stop and mark with a pencil on the floor. Use a multi-purpose detector to check the floor and make sure there are no pipes running under where you want to position your doorstop.
Step 7
Use a woodscrew to attach the base of the doorstop to the floor.
Step 8
Then attach the top part of the doorstop to complete the job.
Step 9
The floor mounted door stop is now installed
If the doorstop is going into a concrete floor, drill a hole using the masonry bit on the drill and insert a rawl plug. Screw the doorstop into the plug.
If the doorstop is going into a tiled floor, drill a hole using a tile or masonry bit and insert plug. Don't use hammer action on the drill. A good tip is to try and use the grout line when screwing in the stop, to avoid drilling into the tile at all
