Tips from the Pros
Choosing a Holder/Stop Series
There's really only two choices to make:
- Do you need surface or concealed mounting?
- Do you need medium or heavy duty?
Once you answer these two questions, you have picked a series. You can view the complete Holder/Stop catalog
by clicking on the Data Sheet above.
Holder vs. Stop
- An overhead stop simply stops the door from opening past a certain point, selected by you.
- The overhead holder adds the Hold-Open function to the stop.
What size do you need?
The size of your door determines the size of the Holder/Stop required. A 2' wide door obviously takes
a different size stop than a 4' wide door.
Each Data Sheet contains a table to make it easy to select the proper size for your door.
