A door stop is the thin strip of moulding that runs around the inside of a door frame. The door closes against it, which keeps the door sitting flush in the frame and covers the gap between the door edge and the frame.The Contemporary profile has a flat face with one angled top edge, 3/8 in x 1-3/8 in. Sold in 14 ft lengths, primed white and ready to paint. Choose your material: MDF (medium density fibreboard, a smooth engineered wood): smooth finish at the lowest price. Finger joint pine (solid pine wood joined from shorter sections): a little tougher than MDF and holds nails well. How much do you need? A standard door frame takes about 17 ft of door stop: one length for each side and one across the top. Two 14 ft lengths cover one door with plenty left over.
