AI pick (line): Wedge-It Wedge-It Ultimate Door Stop

It wedges into the hinge-side gap of the door instead of under it, so it holds on any floor type and is hard to kick out.

Not for: Doors you only want to stop from hitting a wall, where a wall- or hinge-mounted bumper is the right tool.

Door gap fit: Measure the gap under the door: a wedge must be thinner at the tip than the gap and taller at the heel A wedge that is too tall will not slide in, and one that is too short lets the door roll over it.
Floor grip: Use soft rubber for tile, wood and vinyl, and a taller or weighted stop for carpet Hard plastic slides on smooth floors, and thin wedges sink into carpet pile.
Holding open vs protecting walls: Use wedges or weighted stops to hold a door open, and use wall, baseboard or hinge-pin bumpers to stop a door hitting a wall These are different jobs, and the wrong type either fails or damages drywall.
Fire doors: Do not wedge open doors marked as fire doors Fire codes generally require these doors to self-close, and propping them open defeats compartmentation.
