STANLEY MAGNETIC DOORSTOP MODEL S825-521 Aug 30, 2009
By Allan R. Klumpp
"Rocket Scientist"
This is a high-quality magnetic doorstop, which works perfectly, provided it is precisely installed. But a good installation procedure, see below, is necessary to achieve precision.
There are two major parts, a post with a magnetic ball on the tip, and a socket attracted by the magnet.
To achieve full attractive force, the ball must enter the socket within about two millimeters of its center. Otherwise, the wind may pull the ball and socket apart and slam the door.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Wooden or sheet metal mounting surfaces are assumed. If one surface is sheet rock, pilot holes should be enlarged and the blue anchors should be used there. Magnetic Attraction can be reduced by taping thin cardboard to the socket.
A. Using a 10 millimeter wrench and a #2 Phillips screwdriver, turn the nut and machine screw of the post's mounting plate very tight.
B. Find a good location for the post on the post's mounting surface (door, wall, or floor). This location must leave ample room for adjusting the location of the socket by several millimeters.
C. Using a 3/32 inch drill bit, drill the first of three pilot holes for the post's mounting plate. Set the first screw using one of the plate's three holes.
D. Using another hole as a guide, drill the pilot hole for the second screw, and set the screw.
E. Repeat this for the third screw.
F. Using only a hand, screw the post as tight as possible onto the machine screw of its mounting plate.
G. If any space exists between the base of the post and the post's mounting surface, remove the post from the mounting plate, and tighten all three screws until their heads contact the plate, so that the no space is left when the post is re-mounted on the machine screw.
H. Place the socket on the ball and move the door so that the socket fully contacts the socket's mounting surface (door, or wall).
I. While using the door to hold the socket tight against its mounting surface, draw a circle around the socket to mark its correct position.
J. Unscrew the socket's mounting plate, and mount it at the center of the circle.
K. Test the mating of the ball and socket.
L. If adjustment is needed, adjust the position of the socket. Do not adjust the position of the post because doing so may change its angle on the machine screw, increasing the error due to the ball's center being slightly off the axis of the machine screw.

 Works well, once you figure out how to install it Feb 28, 2009
By MarvinK
The way the door stop is packaged, you need to use tools in an unusual way to get it apart so that you can install it. The brief instructions on the back of the package are so over-simplified that they are of little help. The base of the 'button' appeared to snap in, but you have to stick two screwdrivers in it and twist to get it apart. It doesn't have to be packaged this way in the first place and helpful instructions would save a lot of frustration (and I do a LOT of projects around the house, so I've got plenty of experience). They could also have included some double-stick tape to help ensure both sides match up when installed. Hope this saves someone else the frustration I went through trying to get the piece disassembled. Once installed, it seems to work pretty well.

Just what I was looking for Nov 13, 2010
By Mathew Lu
We had a door that would close on its own. Installed this in about 10 mins and the door stays where we put it. The wife complained about the loud clicking sound when the magnet catches the door. I put a small self-adhesive felt disk on the door side and it reduced the click while not interfering with the catch. Highly recommended to keep interior doors open.
