· Level (optional)
pencil or marker
Safety goggles
Steps for installing a magnetic door stop:
Choose a location:
· Determine the installation location of the magnetic doorstop. Typically, it’s installed on the wall opposite the door or on the baseboard.
Mark location:
· Attach the magnetic plate to the wall or baseboard where you want to install it. Mark the locations of the screw holes with a pencil or marker.
Drilling:
· Drill holes at the marked locations using an electric drill. If drilling holes in drywall, wall anchors may be necessary for added support.
Install the magnetic base plate:
Align the magnetic plate with the drilled hole and secure it with screws. Ensure the magnetic plate is level before fully tightening the screws.
Install the magnet on the door:
· Place the magnet on the door so that it aligns with the magnetic plate when the door is open. Mark the locations of the screws.
· Drill holes in the door, install screws, and securely attach the magnet to the door.
Testing the door stop:
Open the door, ensure the magnets are properly aligned with the base plate, and secure the door in place. Make adjustments if necessary.
Final Adjustments:
· If the door cannot stay open, or the magnet is too strong or too weak, you may need to slightly adjust the position of the magnet or the base plate.
· Ensure that the door can be opened freely without obstruction.
· If the door is heavy, make sure the magnetic doorstop is heavy enough to support the weight of the door.
· Always wear safety goggles when drilling to protect your eyes.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install the magnetic doorstop.
