Bunnings door stop is a hardware accessory sold at Bunnings Warehouse — a nationwide Australian home improvement and hardware retailer — that is used to prevent doors from swinging too far, damaging walls or furniture, and to hold doors open. Door stops are small but essential fittings in everyday homes, offices and commercial spaces. They can be fixed to walls, floors, skirting boards or door bottoms, and come in a variety of styles and materials to suit practical needs and interior aesthetics.
Here’s why Australians regularly search for Bunnings door stops: they are affordable, easy to install, durable, and available in a wide range of designs that help protect your walls and enhance everyday functionality without compromising on style.
Bunnings stocks a broad range of door stops and door bumpers to accommodate different installation needs, door types and interior styles. Here are the key varieties available in Australia:
Wall‑mounted door stops are fixed to the wall at a height where the door handle or door face would normally strike. They protect the wall from impact and are one of the most common styles used in homes.
Rubber head wall stops — gentle on doors and walls, ideal for most rooms.
Metal wall stops with rubber tip — offer extra durability in high‑traffic areas.
These door stops are attached directly to the floor or skirting and are effective for heavy doors or high‑traffic zones like kitchens, laundry rooms and entryways.
Solid metal floor stops — heavy duty option.
Low‑profile dome stops — minimal visual impact but effective protection.
Hinged door stops are mounted near the door hinge and use the wall or jamb as the stop point. These are useful when floor or wall space is limited.
Spring‑loaded stop hinge — combines stop and hinge in one.
Adjustable hinge stops — perfect for doors that need occasional repositioning.
Magnetic stops can hold doors open using a magnet catch that keeps the door secured to a plate on the wall or floor, great for areas that benefit from free movement like laundry rooms and patios.
These are simple adhesive bumpers that stick to walls, baseboards or furniture to absorb impact. They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and ideal for lightweight internal doors.
While function is paramount, decorative door stops at Bunnings include finishes and shapes that blend with interior design, such as brass tones, matte black trims or contemporary metal designs that coordinate with modern fittings.
Each of these styles serves a slightly different purpose, so matching your door stop choice to its intended use ensures both practicality and visual harmony.
Choosing the right Bunnings door stop comes down to understanding your specific door, space and installation preferences. Here’s a step‑by‑step, easy guide:
Light interior doors: wall‑mounted or adhesive rubber bumpers may suffice.
Heavy or frequently used doors: consider robust floor or wall‑mounted metal stops.
External or glass doors: magnetic or hinged stops provide secure hold and finesse.
Wall stops: protect paint and plaster behind door handles.
Floor stops: ideal where walls are not available or practical.
Hinge stops: useful for small spaces where walls or floors can’t be drilled.
Choose a door stop finish that complements your home’s hardware palette — such as matte black, brushed nickel, or brass — so it integrates with cabinet handles, faucets and lighting finishes.
Rubber‑tipped or cushion stops are kinder to doors and walls, while solid metal stops are more durable in high‑traffic areas.
Magnetic hold: if you want the door to stay open under breeze or frequent use.
Adjustable stops: for doors that need variable stopping points.
Most Bunnings door stops include mounting hardware and clear measurements. A drill, screwdriver and level are all you need for most applications, making them a straightforward weekend upgrade.
Choosing with these points in mind ensures your door stop is not only effective but enhances the look and function of your space.
The main reason Australians love Bunnings door stops is because they protect interiors, add convenience and are easy to install.
The primary function of a door stop is to prevent door handles or edges from impacting walls, skirting boards or cabinets — saving you from unsightly dents, paint chips and costly repairs.
Door stops make life easier by controlling door movement — no slamming doors, no banging through drafts — and in many cases hold doors open when you need them.
Bunnings door stops are budget‑friendly hardware solutions that deliver ongoing protection and usability without requiring extensive renovations.
Kitchens: prevent cabinets and walls from damage when carrying items.
Bedrooms & studies: stop doors from slamming during breezes or drafts.
Bathrooms & laundries: keep doors in place or prevent water‑damaged walls.
Entryways & patios: magnetic stops hold doors open during gatherings or when moving items.
Adding floor stops behind heavy kitchen doors to absorb impact.
Using magnetic stops to keep laundry or patio doors open while moving groceries in.
Installing wall stops to protect freshly painted walls in living areas.
Choosing decorative door stops that coordinate with interior finishes for cohesive detailing.
Whether you’re renovating or simply improving daily comfort, the right door stop makes a noticeable difference.

Here’s what’s shaping the door stop and hardware conversation in 2025 within Australian interiors:
Door stops are increasingly selected not just for function but to complement interior finishes — like matte black for modern spaces or brass for warm, classic homes.
Australians are favouring hardware that blends into design schemes — discreet floor or wall stops with low profiles that do their job without shouting for attention.
More homes are incorporating magnetic door stops that double as hold‑open systems, especially in kitchens, laundry and living spaces with frequent foot traffic or breezes.
While most door stops are metal or rubber, pairing them with natural and textured materials nearby — like woven baskets, timber trims and linen textiles — gives interiors a more organic, layered feel.
Even during small refresh projects, homeowners are upgrading hardware accessories like door stops to tie in with broader design tweaks — a trend that supports continuing interest in practical décor details.
Here’s practical advice for styling and positioning Bunnings door stops so they add both function and finesse to your home:
Match door stops with nearby hardware — cabinet handles, drawer pulls, lighting trims — for a harmonious finish. For example, brushed nickel stops look great with chrome taps and brushed steel accents.
In high‑traffic areas, choose floor stops with rubber heads to absorb force without scratching floors.
In aesthetic spaces like living rooms, low‑profile wall stops can be tucked out of sight yet protect walls effectively.
When door stops are visible, select finishes that echo your décor palette — warm brass for classic interiors, matte black for contemporary looks, or satin chrome for transitional spaces.
Use soft rugs, woven baskets or decorative cushions to visually balance hard hardware — for example, a modern door stop near a textured rug from OneWorld Collection creates an intentional, comfortable space.
Don’t treat door stops as an afterthought: integrate them into your styling plan alongside lighting from Café Lighting & Living or sculptural décor from Zaffero to maintain consistency throughout.
