6-Pack Black Heavy-Duty Kickdown Door Stops — Metal, Adjustable
Product description
What you get: six black kickdown door stops, mounting screws, and factory-set adjustable feet.
Construction and materials: each unit is made from an aluminum alloy body with a rubber tip on the contact pad. The metal housing provides strength while keeping weight low; the rubber pad protects flooring and increases grip on wood, tile, concrete and carpet.
Size and fit: the standard model has a short 4-inch profile (measured along the body) and includes an adjustable-height button to fine-tune contact with the floor. For situations with a larger gap between door and floor, the manufacturer recommends choosing a 6-inch version to ensure proper engagement.
How it works: surface-mount the stopper to the lower edge of the door using the supplied screws. Deploy the stop by kicking the lever down with your foot; press the release to retract. The mechanism holds the door in any set position and prevents accidental slams, reducing the risk of pinched fingers or pets getting trapped.
Installation notes: no special tools or professional help are required—pre-drill holes for best results, and for hollow-core doors place the unit closer to the door edge to improve anchoring. Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of the pivot can help maintain smooth release action.
Pros
- Foot-operated for hands-free control
- Durable aluminum body with rubber floor protection
- Adjustable height fits most standard doors
Cons
- Release can seize after extended use
- Standard length may be too short for some patio doors
- Hollow doors may need placement near edge for stronger hold
VerdictThese kickdown stoppers deliver simple, reliable performance: they mount to the bottom of a door, deploy with a tap of the foot, and hold doors in place without scraping floors. The aluminum body is lightweight yet durable and rubber feet offer traction on many surfaces. Installation is straightforward with the supplied screws. Most users will find them effective, though a few reported the release

Fits uneven floors
Excellent buy. Installs quickly and the adjustable rubber tip compensates for uneven flooring.

No more bending to remove stop
Wish I’d bought these sooner. They hold my back door like a brick but are much easier to use.

Stopped releasing after months

Ben York 5/5
Great for breezy homes
Prevented doors from slamming and stay down until needed. Easy install—mount hollow doors closer to the edge for better hold.

Won't retract automatically
Installed as instructed but the release lever doesn’t lift. Now I have to push it up manually.

Reliable and low-profile
Simple black kick-down stops that work well. Sturdy, smooth action, and unobtrusive on the door.

Too short for patio doors
Would have worked if a couple of inches longer — doesn’t reach my UPVC patio floor.

Solid, easy-to-use stopper
Very straightforward to fit and feels sturdy. Press the top to release rather than bending and it holds doors reliably.
