Many of the door stops on the market also double as bookends. This means that you can find door stops to fit almost any decor, or to reflect your favorite pastime. There are door stops that feature characters from books, children's movies, and much more. Avid sports fans can find door stops carved to look like golf clubs, baseballs, basketballs, football helmets, and much more. Avid collectors should have no trouble finding door stops made from a variety of materials. There are cast iron pieces, zinc stops, and hand-carved wood pieces. Most of these items are meant to serve an aesthetic purpose even before their practical purpose. However, the majority will function as stops without any problem. If they are unique pieces, though, you might want to protect them from the wear and tear that can occur from repeated contact with a swinging door. Specialty door stops that go beyond a particular design are also available. For instance, online sellers have been known to carry miniature door stops designed specifically for doll houses. You can also find door stops (as well as handles) for cars such as the Porsche 911. If all you're looking for is just a good old door stop, you should be able to find rubber stops and the classic coil wall stops for a few dollars at the most. There are variations on these standards that can serve different types and sizes of doors. Prices will usually not vary much between the different brands. However, if you choose to go with a themed stop (carved gnomes, cats, or other handcrafted items), expect to pay a bit more. |
