Tired of ugly, toe-stubbing door stops? A hidden, floor-mounted door stopper is the sleek, safe, and effective solution. This guide will walk you through the entire installation process. As a door hardware manufacturer with our own production line, YALIS ensures every product, including our hidden door stops, is built for lasting quality and reliability, giving you complete peace of mind.
What You’ll Need: Tools & Materials
Tools: Electric drill, hammer drill bit (for concrete), screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, level, hammer, vacuum.
Materials: A YALIS hidden door stop kit (includes magnetic strike plate and floor cup with screws/plugs). All necessary hardware is included and precision-made for a perfect fit.
Step-by-Step Installation
Step 1: Plan & Mark the Spot
Close the door. Measure the width of your door and find its center. Mark this center point on the floor where you want the door to stop (ensure it’s clear of baseboards). This mark is for the floor cup.
Step 2: Drill & Mount the Floor Cup
Using the correct drill bit for your floor type (tile, wood, concrete), carefully drill a hole at your mark. Clean the hole with a vacuum. Insert the supplied wall plug and align the floor cup over it. Secure it firmly with the provided screw, ensuring it sits flush and level.
Step 3: Attach the Magnetic Plate
Open the door and place the magnetic plate onto the floor cup. Gently close the door until it makes contact with the plate—this will leave a mark or guide for placement on the door’s bottom edge. Fix the plate to the door using its screws or adhesive, depending on your model.
Step 4: Final Test & Adjustment
Open and close the door several times. It should engage smoothly and hold firmly. If needed, slightly loosen the floor cup screws to make micro-adjustments for perfect alignment before tightening them back down.
Pro Tips & Important Notes
Safety First: Always check for underfloor pipes or wiring before drilling.
For Hard Floors (Tile/Stone): Use a specialized drill bit and start at a low speed to prevent cracking.
Perfect Alignment: The level is your best friend for ensuring the door stays straight when engaged.
