When it comes to home decor, we often overlook the small details that can make a huge difference. One such detail is the humble door stopper. While many of us settle for generic, plastic door stops or, worse, no door stopper at all, there are options out there that combine both practicality and decorative flair. Enter Old West Iron's door stoppers—a perfect blend of form and function. In this blog post, we'll explore everything you need to know about these impressive door stoppers and how to order the perfect one for your home.
The Importance of Door Stoppers
Protect Your Walls and Doors
Door stoppers serve a crucial function in your home—they protect your walls and doors from damage. Without a door stopper, a door can swing open with force, causing dents, scratches, and even holes in your walls. This is particularly important for homes with children or pets, where doors are frequently flung open.
Add a Decorative Touch
While door stoppers are primarily functional, they can also add a decorative element to your home. Old West Iron's door stoppers come in various designs and finishes, allowing you to choose one that complements your home's decor. Whether you prefer a classic or modern look, there's a door stopper that will fit your style.
Enhance Your Home's Value
Small details like door stoppers can enhance your home's overall aesthetic and, consequently, its value. Prospective buyers often notice these subtle touches, and having high-quality hardware can make a positive impression.

Old West Iron is known for its quality craftsmanship. Each door stopper is made from handmade mild steel backplates and features durable, door-safe rubber bumpers. These materials ensure that the door stoppers are not only beautiful but also long-lasting.
Customizable Options
One of the standout features of Old West Iron's door stoppers is the level of customization available. From design styles to finish colors, you can create a door stopper that perfectly matches your home's decor. This customization allows you to make a statement, even with the smallest details.
Historical Accuracy
For those who appreciate historical authenticity, Old West Iron offers door stoppers designed in historically accurate styles. These designs add a touch of elegance and history to your home, making them perfect for period properties or those looking to add a touch of the past to their modern homes.
How to Order Your Door Stopper
1. Choose a Design Style
Old West Iron offers four historically accurate design styles:
- Renaissance Iron Door Stop: Lavish and ornate, perfect for homes with a classical touch.
-
Spanish Cathedral Iron Door Stop: Authentic and bold, ideal for those who love a bit of drama.
- Polish Iron Door Stop: Simply floral, bringing a subtle elegance to any room.
- Shabby Chic Iron Door Stop: Modern classic, blending contemporary and traditional elements seamlessly.
Each design style is meticulously crafted to ensure it meets Old West Iron's high standards of quality and aesthetic appeal.
2. Select a Texture
Next, you can choose from four signature textures, each applied by hand:
- Smooth: A clean, polished look that fits any modern or minimalist decor.
- All Hammered: Adds a rustic charm, perfect for creating a vintage or industrial vibe.
- Distressed: Offers an aged appearance, ideal for those who appreciate a weathered, antique look.
- Hammered Edges: Combines smooth surfaces with textured edges for a unique, eye-catching effect.
The texture you choose will significantly impact the overall look and feel of your door stopper, so consider your home's style when making your selection.
3. Select a Plate Thickness
The plate thickness is, in the case of door stoppers, a cosmetic choice that does not affect functionality. You can choose from:
- 1/8": Thin and sleek, ideal for modern or minimalist settings.
- 3/16": A balanced option that offers a bit more substance without being overly bulky.
- 1/4": Thick and sturdy, perfect for creating a bold statement.
Each thickness option provides a different aesthetic, allowing you to customize the door stopper to your liking.
4. Select a Fastener Type
You have two options for fasteners:
- Screw: Simple and traditional, easy to install.
- Toggle Bolt: Offers extra security, suitable for heavier doors or high-traffic areas.
Choosing the right fastener type ensures that your door stopper is securely installed and functions correctly.
5. Select a Finish Color
Finally, you can select from ten signature finish colors, including:
- Aged Bronze: A brilliant, timeless finish that adds a touch of elegance.
- Raw/Unfinished: Simple and versatile, allowing the natural beauty of the metal to shine.
- Black: Durable and classic, fitting any decor style seamlessly.
Each finish color is designed to complement various decor styles, allowing you to find the perfect match for your home.
How to Install Your Door Stopper
Installing your door stopper is quick and easy to do. Follow these simple steps to achieve a perfect install.
- Find the perfect orientation. Find the place on your wall where your doorknob or handle will meet the wall when it is opened. Mark this spot in pencil with a simple x or cross.
- Position your door stopper on the wall. Place your door stopper against the wall so that the x shows through the center of the hole in the bumper.
- Use your fastener to secure your door stopper to the wall. Drive your fastener into the wall right in the center of the x, through the door stopper.
