A falling door stopper, also known as a drop-down door stop or flip-down door stop, is a type of door stopper that is designed to automatically deploy and stop a door from swinging open too far or too forcefully. These door stoppers are installed on the top of a door and are activated when the door is opened beyond a certain angle.
The falling door stopper typically consists of a hinge mechanism that allows it to remain flush with the top of the door when not in use. When the door is opened past a certain point, the door stopper automatically flips down or drops down, creating a buffer that prevents the door from hitting the wall or nearby furniture.
The main purpose of a falling door stopper is to protect the door, walls, and furniture from damage caused by the door swinging open too far. It also helps to prevent the door from slamming shut, reducing the risk of injury to fingers or hands.
Falling door stoppers are commonly used in homes, offices, and commercial spaces where there is a need to control the movement of doors and prevent excessive force or impact. They are particularly useful in spaces with limited clearance or in areas where doors are frequently opened and closed.
These door stoppers are available in various styles, materials, and finishes to match different interior designs. Some models may have adjustable tension or damping mechanisms, allowing users to customize the level of resistance and control over the door's movement.
