Our Tall Lighthouse Door Stops are 49cm high and 18cm wide. These work well when you have a step drop onto your patio or decking. They work particularly well in light winds however a strong gust could drag them over, so we suggest tying piece of cord from the door handle to the loop on the top just in case. This video explains how to stop your Lighthouse Door Stop from dragging over.
The Charcoal Grey Bell Buoy door stop with a wide weighted base was designed and created specifically for bifold door owners who have a step drop to their deck or patio. Customers with a step drop gap of up to 25cm will find this item provides the perfect solution to keeping their bifold or patio doors open. Made using a contemporary matt grey / black nylon rope – perfect for matching your matt grey door frames.
If you leave your expensive bifolds open in a stronger wind and are concerned they might bang shut with possible expensive results. Then you may need a heavier door stop. Our latest product release called the Heavy Buoy Door Stop, weighs in at 6kg with a width of 25cm. The height is 20cm to the beginning of the loop handle. It has a really stable base so will be secure in a wind and is pretty stylish too.
The demand for grey door stops is high. That’s why we developed our popular Heavy Buoy door stop in a new matt grey / black nylon rope. Perfect for matching your grey patio door frames or if you are looking for a high quality and functional door stop in a contemporary colour. It’s a conversation piece that will have your guests asking where it’s from and who made it!
