Everbilt Magnetic Doorstop Installation

[@eb9844]

I was stumped and watched your vid. Pliers worked like a charm. Finished installing 2 and have 2 more to go. As an older woman with teens, I hate to have to hire someone to do simple things around the house when there are people like you posting vids with clear and simple instructions. Thanks for the great video. 💕🇨🇦

[@jonBS4]

Thank you for such great feedback!

[@lizzyoffside]

Excellent video! I was struggling to disassemble the pieces for installation and had no idea there was a correction direction to install the plate so it would line up correctly. Thank you so much for such a helpful and informative video!

[@jonBS4]

Glad it helped!

[@cajetacr]

Thank you, I always wondered how this magnet design works.

[@jonBS4]

You’re welcome!

[@eileenlutz569]

Thank you! Bought this today but couldn't figure out how to remove the screw plate from the door side of the unit. Really appreciate your taking the time to help out civilians like me 😄

[@jonBS4]

I’m glad it helped you Eileen, we all had to start somewhere!

[@maturebro1776]

Thank you for the video. I was having problems with the plate, bolt and nut. I am so happy that you stated to make sure "the nut is severely fastened to the bolt that runs through the plate'. I was able to complete this installation without any problems.

[@ohsorelaxing5743]

Thanks for the video! Was trying every tool including the kitchen sink to open the small springed part! This video was the aha moment!

[@rEcOiL1971]

"Thumbs up" instructions that came with it didn't explain anything, so thanks

[@redlion-o8855]

Tweezers of course! Theres me trying to pry it out with a flathead. Thanks dude 👍

[@dleblanc]

Came here for the same exact reason. Would have been great to come with some basic instructions.

[@jdollarthegreat]

Me too smh

[@Jaytraveler2]

This is the most clear and precise video yet, thank you

[@GhostDrummer]

Yeah!!! I installed a few of these years ago but I completely forgot how that small part worked. Thank you!!!

[@jonBS4]

Happy to hear it helped!

[@MrJarrod]

Thankyou very much as a first time home owner never had to do anything like this before.

[@jonBS4]

I’m glad it helped!

[@zeebomb3385]

After many rewindings, Got great instructions 😀 Thanks for sharing.

[@jonBS4]

Glad to hear you got something out of the video!

[@petewade4101]

Thanks for the video took me 1 beer to install.

[@jonBS4]

Cheers!

[@sgataticalteam]

This was super helpful. Thank you!

[@jonBS4]

So glad to hear it!

[@craigmackenzie-haines7090]

Just bought the same product, Very helpful video!! 5 star review, thank you for making this.

[@jonBS4]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@mawbbb7355]

Use needle nose pliers to take the base off the cup. Thank you!!!!!

[@jonBS4]

Glad to hear you found it helpful!

[@michaelmarquez6133]

Awesome thanks!! Yes easy enough but you explained well and now I don't have to mess with it

[@emiliegurley8806]

Thanks. I had no clue how to install it!

[@ta3580]

Thanks now my mom can stop bothering me about the door

[@emc7516]

Thanks! Saved me lots of time!

[@selmakucukler3495]

Aradığım video buydu işte. Teşekkürler 😊🙏

[@AmosAmerica]

Good tutorial. Can you tell us which is the magnetic part and which is not?

[@jonBS4]

The magnet is the circular portion that’s at the end of the prong / post that I tried to level out at the 1:20 mark. The cup itself is just a magnetically attracted metal, like steel.

[@BoStErO1905]

I really hate using those plugs. Only 2 of them caught, the other one spins. I guess that's good enough. Thanks for the video!

[@jonBS4]

Those are definitely not the best wall plugs included with the kit.

[@jdollarthegreat]

Thank you sir, made it very easy for me.

[@ladyteka2430]

THANK YOU!!!

[@jonBS4]

I’m glad to hear that it helped you!

[@jujubear1422]

So awesome. Totally helped!!!

[@crazylegs910]

Best video for this install. Did you have to pre-drill the holes or did you just screw it in?

[@jonBS4]

I’m my case I didn’t bother pre-drilling the holes, but you can if you find the screws too difficult to put into the wall or door by hand. If you need to use the included wall plugs then you’ll definitely need to pre-drill the holes.

[@canonfodder808]

If you put the button on the baseboard then you wont have the post stuck in the way while cleaning...

[@jonBS4]

You are absolutely correct. I preferred not having a solid post sticking out from the door swinging back and forth, as I’d invariably catch the top of my foot or ankle on it.

[@12345hin1409]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mauricewashington226]

Thanks for this!!

[@fredrva667]

Thank you! The instructions on the packaging were worthless.

[@jonBS4]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@reflectivedetails6289]

Great video thank you… do you know if the magnets strong enough to stop a toddler or 2 from closing the door?

[@jonBS4]

I suppose it would depend upon the toddler. It takes a decent amount of force to overcome the magnetic attraction, but it’s not likely going to stop a determined “door closer”. You would probably need to use a mechanical latch mounted higher up on the door to stop a toddler.

[@vintageknifeguy441]

Did you just screw into the door or use those green thingymabobs?

[@jonBS4]

The green wall plugs really only need to be used in drywall. Most doors will have some sort of interior reinforcement around the perimeter, so I just screwed directly into the door.

[@irecruitfish7410]

I installed everything correctly then of course when it comes to spinning the door stopper it doesn't go in all the way. I've installed several of these and a few seemed effective

[@jonBS4]

If you verified the final position of the screws on the wall in regards to the tightened stopper, then you should be able to tighten the stopper against the wall in the correct orientation. If you’re not able to get the required leverage with bare hands, then I’d suggest using a pair of locking pliers to tighten it down, but use something between the pliers and the stopper so as not to mar the finish of the stopper. I’d recommend a towel or old shirt. Good luck!

[@irecruitfish7410]

@@jonBS4 Yeah I see your point thank you very much but the issue is I twist and twist and then the thing is just loose and it's basically stuck on the wall It's as if the screw or something is stripped and I can't even remove it very odd not sure what happened

[@jonBS4]

@@irecruitfish7410 Sorry to hear that. Maybe the main bolt got cross threaded and that’s why it’s not loosening or tightening any further? If you think that’s the case, you could use a pry bar underneath the stopper and apply gentle pressure while trying to loosen it. That should allow you to remove it and replace it with a non damaged one.

[@irecruitfish7410]

@@jonBS4 yeah I can try that out...for now the loose ones function it just shakes quite a bit when it catches the door. Thanks for the responses. Helpful video overall!

[@1ScruLoose]

Can you raise the level higher and put the stopper on the wall rather than the rod, to make it easier when vacuuming or mopping?

[@jonBS4]

You can absolutely swap the rod from the wall to the door if that suits you better. As far as raising it higher up for more clearance, you can go as high as you want so long as you have something solid to fasten both ends to. I hope that helps!

[@robbdevries7222]

Does it work with a hollow door? Pulte low bid crap door to be exact? My worry is I’ll close it and pull the spring end straight out of the door.

[@jonBS4]

I’m not familiar with that door specifically, but every door I’ve ever looked at has some kind of solid core perimeter, otherwise it would be almost impossible to attach hinges or a lock set to it. If the door’s solid perimeter is especially narrow, I’d suggest marking up exactly where you need to place the magnetic cup first, but don’t attach it, and then work your way backwards to figure out where the wall mount needs to go. If all else fails, an expandable hollow wall core plug could probably be used on the door, but that would truly be a last resort.

[@lindam3497]

@@jonBS4 I also have a cheap hollow door which luckily is open on the bottom. I made it work by doing the following so the screws had something solid to screw into! Mark the general the area where the catch will go and remove door. I fit a small (3" x 3") piece of scrap wood inside the hollow part where I had marked it. Needed a shim to make it fit better. Then I used wood glue to attach the shim to the wood, and the wood to the hollow opening of the door. Once dried, put the door back up and followed the video instructions for marking and installing the catch. Worked great! By the way, great video - I had the same problem with separating the 2 pieces of the catch!

[@jonBS4]

@@lindam3497 It sounds like you figured out a good solution for your hollow door! I have never run across that kind of hollow door, let alone one that is open at the bottom.

[@MentalyFeard]

sir may i please know what tool you are using to unscrew this?

[@jonBS4]

I'm assuming you're referring to the tool I used at the 2:05 mark, which are needle-nose pliers. You could also probably use tweezers just so long as it’s not too tight. Good luck!

[@MentalyFeard]

@@jonBS4 yes, thank you

@@liseraby3177 I would suggest you turn on the closed captioning if you can't hear or understand what is being said.

[@zeebomb3385]

why are you whispering!!!!

[@jonBS4]

I found there was a lot of echo in the bathroom with the stone tiles, so I didn’t want to speak too loudly. Turn up the volume and / or turn on closed captioning and my words should be clear enough.
