Door Stops & Snakes

Door stops and door snakes are small buys that fix everyday annoyances: slamming doors and gaps under the door. The Base Warehouse has a tight edit of 10 door stops and door snakes, priced from $3.00 to $29.99, mixing plain practical pieces with decorative ones.

The 3 Pack Rubber Door Stopper ($3.00) is the simple option.

How to choose a door stop or door snake

Measure first. For a door snake, measure the width of the door and choose a snake that covers the full gap; the 88cm to 90cm snakes suit most standard internal doors. Lay it flat against the bottom of the door on the side the draught comes from. To hold a door open, a fabric or jute door stop sits against the door, while rubber wedges slide under it and suit doors that catch a breeze. In a busy hallway, pick a stopper with some height so it is easy to see. Decorative stoppers pair well with animal decor and soft furnishings, or browse more home decor.
