Door-stoppers for sliding doors

Sliding door stoppers are an essential element for safety and convenience aboard any boat. These small accessories prevent the uncontrolled slamming of sliding doors caused by the boat's movement, wind, or waves, protecting both the door itself and the surrounding structures. Nautica Basile offers a selection of fold-down door stops specifically designed for the marine environment, ensuring durability and optimal performance.

Materials and Installation: Our door holders are primarily made of AISI 316 stainless steel, a material resistant to corrosion and marine weather conditions. This ensures long life and superior resistance even in extreme environmental conditions. Installation is generally simple and straightforward, requiring only a few basic tools. However, it is essential to choose the sliding door stop model with the correct dimensions for the door thickness and available space. Carefully check the product specifications before purchasing.

Functionality and Benefits: Fold-down sliding door stoppers offer an excellent combination of functionality and discretion. When not in use, they can be easily folded away to avoid obstructing passage. In the locked position, they offer a secure and reliable hold, preventing the door from slamming even in rough seas. Their robustness and ease of installation make them an ideal choice for any type of boat.

Common Problems and Maintenance: Like all accessories on board, sliding door stoppers can be subject to wear and tear over time. Periodically check the condition of the locking mechanism and the presence of any signs of corrosion. If you notice any loosening of the fixing screws, tighten them immediately. In case of excessive wear or damage, replace the sliding door stop with a new model to ensure maximum safety and functionality.
