National Hardware N273-557 Kickdown Door Stop 5 in Satin Chrome

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N273-557 is a kickdown door stop designed to hold doors open in a fixed position. The stop deploys by pressing down with the foot and retracts with a kick, making it a hands-free solution commonly installed in commercial and residential settings. Built from zinc with a satin chrome finish, the unit mounts directly to the door via screws. The 5-inch projection keeps the door clear of walls and baseboards when held open. This type of hardware is typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians during door hardware rough-in or service calls.

The N273-557 is suited for interior door applications in both residential and light commercial environments. Its screw-mount design makes it compatible with standard door bottoms and works on wood, metal, and composite doors where the door thickness and bottom clearance allow for a kickdown-style mechanism. The satin chrome finish coordinates with a wide range of door hardware finishes common in office, retail, and residential construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter, door hardware installer, or maintenance technician using a drill and appropriate fasteners. Power is not required for this hardware. Verify door bottom clearance before installation to ensure the kickdown mechanism deploys and retracts without obstruction. Follow the fastener pattern and pilot hole guidance provided in the manufacturer instructions to avoid splitting door material.
