I decided to try something different than the normal door stoppers that screw into your baseboard. Why? I guess because I can.. The hope is it would have a cleaner look and not prevent any type of snag hazard. I used these items on our master bedroom closet doors - which are not overly wide and are very light. Some of the reviews I read indicated they might not be a great fit for solid core doors or doors with a potential to be slammed much (i.e. young kids). I'll agree with that - forcing past the set point would strain the hinges and likely cause damage at some point.
These do have a decent amount of adjustment possible though which was nice. One closet door I just wanted to prevent from hitting the wall but the second door could hit a painting if we were careless. We'll see if these result in damage to the trim over time - hoping not.
These simply go above the hinge and your existing hinge pin goes through it - note that the hinge pin won't end up going as far down in the hinge as before - with a heavier / wider door you might want to find long hinge pins if available or find a way to extend the existing pins.
And yes, you'll notice I am missing the rosettes at the top of the trim as I mentioned in a different post.. working on those still. I also need to do some hole filling and touch up painting.
