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.

Protect the doors and walls of your home.
