Q(1): Is this solid rubber or hollow? Soft rubber or hard?
A: Shackcom door stopper is a solid rubber door stop.They are firm but not hard, and they work well on both tile and hardwood. You do have to pre-load them a bit on some surfaces, which means just holding the stop and gently pulling the door up on it a little to develop some pressure between the door and the floor. If you do that, they appear to work on any surface.
Q(2): Can you stack these for doors that are 2" above the floor?
A: My doors are 2 inches above the floor and this door stop works fine. It is nearly twice as high as a regular door stop.NOTE,the gap between the door and floor doesn't exceed 2.3inch
Q(3): Will it hold a heavy door?
A: We are using on old 6 panel solid pine doors that are very heavy. These hinges are very solid and good quality. They are holding our doors with out any problem. I don't think the hinges will ever be a problem, they are very well made.
Q(4): will this work on carpet floors and bedroom doors?
A: Yes will work on carpet. The wedge is what keeps the door open.However, you may need to apply more pressure to the butt end of the door stop as you push the wedge under the door to secure it. The amount of pressure needed will depend on the thickness and depth of the pile of the carpet.
Q(5): do they skid on tiles? do they skid off or hold?
A: I have several of these and am using them on three different types of tile (more textured and less textured) as well as hardwood. The rubber composition is a good compromise that holds well against floors without being too flexible. When setting them, just place your foot in front of it and pull the door gently toward you to compress the rubber a bit (pre-load it) and it holds great.
Q(6): What Is It Made Of? Are these hard or can these bend in half?
A: Made of rubber and stainless steel. Shackcom doorstop are firm but not hard, can't bend these in half.
Q(7): What is the height of the shorter end? How tall is the tallest end?
A: Shorter end is 0.05 inch. Tallest end is 1.2 inch.
Q(8): Can these prevent a door from opening if put on the other side of the door. For extra security?
A: They are heavy duty but I think that a hard push would make it move.
Q(9): will these work on a wood deck?
A: Sure! Keep in mind the height of the "hump" of the doorstop, and make sure the door you want to hold open isn't higher up. The ad of Shackcom suggest using two together for high doors.
Q(10): Will it keep a swinging door propped open?
A: If you set it up right, sure will. These are awesome door stops.
Q(11): How well do these work on (wood) textured tile... in the (greasy) kitchen?
A: I don't know how greasy your kitchen floor are, but it works well on my wood floor for the front door. Just make sure you squeeze it against your door.
Q(12): Does this stopper work for metal doors and grinite?
A: Yes, they are very sturdy with non-slip grip. It's great for wood, plastic, metal- any kind. Even the holder can be secured to the metal door for convenient placement. Hope this helps! It's SO worth it!
Q(13): Does it stain floors?
A: No it does not stain the floor. It actually have a good grip on the floor and does not slide when the door is pressed against it.
