Replacing a doorstop is a simple task that usually requires only a few tools. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Required tools and materials:

· New doorstops (choose the type you need: wall-mounted, floor-standing, or Hinged)

· Screwdriver (flathead or Phillips head, depending on the type of screw)

· Drill holes (if new holes are needed)

· Anchor bolts (if installed on drywall)
tape measure

· Level (optional)

Steps for replacing a door stop:

00001. Remove the old doorstop:
If it’s a wall-mounted stop, use a screwdriver to remove the fixing screws. If it’s a floor-standing stop, you may need to unscrew it from the ground.

· For hinged stops, you may need to remove the hinge pin from the hinge or the stop itself.

00001. Clean up the scene:

· After removing the old stopper, clean the area where it was installed. This helps ensure the new stopper adheres firmly.

00001. Select a new doorstop:

· Choose a doorstop that suits your needs. Make sure it is compatible with your door type and wall or floor material.

00001. Install a new doorstop:

· If it is a wall-mounted stop, secure it in place and mark the screw hole positions with a pencil. Use a level to ensure it is level.

· For floor-mounted stops, place them in the desired location and mark the holes.

· If it is a hinge-type stop, align it with the hinge and mark the position.

00001. Drilling (if necessary):

· If installing on drywall or other hard surfaces, drilling holes may be required for screws. If using expansion bolts, holes matching the bolt size must be drilled.

00001. Install anchors (if necessary):

· If you are using a wall anchor, insert it into the drill hole according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Install new doorstops:
Align the stop block with the hole and secure it with screws. Make sure it’s tightened, but be careful not to overtighten it to avoid damaging the wall or floor.

Testing the door stop:

00004. 

· Open and close the door to ensure the door stop works properly and prevent the door from hitting the wall or other surfaces.

00001. Final Adjustments:

· If necessary, adjust the position of the stop to ensure its effective operation.

Tip:

· If you are replacing wall-mounted stops, consider using a wall detector to locate the wall post for a more secure installation.

· If the new plug is significantly different in size or shape from the old one, you may need to patch up and repaint the wall where the old plug was installed.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully change the door stop.
