popup doorstop?
I want a doorstop that has a ball-point-pen type of push-down-push-up
action. This has to go in the floor so the stop needs to be good for a side-load. I've seen a type with a sort of pivoting wedge but what I want has to lock up or down. |

No, what I want is a flush-in-the-floor when it's down, and a poke-up- from-the-floor when it's up kinda deal. I want this in the floor so the door is free to swing open until it gets to the stop - or beyond it when I have the stop locked down. |

If it's at all in a dirty environment (like a shop floor), you'll not be happy with such. Although not the style you asked for, here's one form of mortised stop: http://www.replacementboatparts.com/popupdoorstop.aspx Lloyd |

Although not the style you asked for, here's one form of mortised stop: http://www.replacementboatparts.com/popupdoorstop.aspx Lloyd The common hardware to hold a door in position is a bolt on the door that drops into a hole in the floor. The shallow hole is more easily installed and vacuumed clean than a sliding popup bolt would be, and can't become a tripping hazard. Is this floor ever wet-mopped? In practice people use weights or rubber wedges moved into or out of position with a toe, or fold-down stops: http://www.amazon.com/Battalion-1XNK.../dp/B001H4T6CQ -jsw |
