I don't know what they are called but lowes and home depot sells them.

There are 2 qualities.... junk and decent ones. My builder put in junk.

You can recognize junk because the height adjustment also affects the
spring pressure which is stupid.

Look for the ones where when you adjust the height the spring pressure
doesn't change. Hard to explain but you will see the difference if you
find
them. The junk were generic brand from China, the others were a real
name
brand of some sort. They fit in the same holes.

The reason the spring pressure issue is important is that if you need the
cheap ones adjusted low the spring is completely compacted and is unhappy
and evenutually breaks the door stop.


Thanks - sounds like I had the cheap ones as my wife opened the door
and the ball bearing popped out - I tried to fix it but the ball
bearing keeps
coming out.


You might be able to fix it temporarily by bending some of the sheet metal
but it will break again. Buy one of the good ones instead.
