National Hardware N184-234 Kickdown Door Stop Chrome

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N184-234 is a kickdown door stop designed to hold doors open in a fixed position. It mounts directly to the door face with screws and deploys by pressing the foot lever down to engage the floor. The stop projects 5 inches from the door bottom to make firm floor contact across a range of floor surfaces. The body is cast from zinc and finished in chrome for corrosion resistance in interior environments. Installers in light commercial and residential settings specify this type of stop where magnetic or wall-mount options are not practical.

This kickdown door stop is suited for residential and light commercial interior door applications where a reliable, floor-engaging hold-open solution is needed. It is a screw-mount design, making it compatible with hollow-core and solid-core wood doors as well as metal doors with sufficient face thickness to accept the fasteners. The chrome finish coordinates with standard interior door hardware in residential renovations and new construction installs alike.

Installation Notes

A licensed carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer typically installs this stop. Mark the mounting hole locations on the door face before drilling pilot holes to prevent wood splitting or metal face damage. Ensure the door is in the desired open position before setting the floor engagement angle. No special tools beyond a drill and screwdriver are required.
