We checked into our hotel, thrilled to have some quality family time together. Our 3-year-old son was particularly excited to check out our new digs — he ran around playing and exploring while my wife and I unpacked. In a nightmarishly abrupt moment, he cried out having fallen headfirst into the wall-mounted door stop.

Why Door Stop Safety Are Essential for Hotels and Homes

Although some door stops feature a rubber cover on the front to cushion impact, they pose a choking hazard for babies. Curious children may remove the rubber cover and place it in their mouths, risking suffocation. This potential danger highlights the need for door stop child safety that eliminate small, removable parts to ensure peace of mind for parents. Children and pets can get hurt, and an elegant hotel room’s chic appearance ruined. This is why hotel designers and owners are more and more avoiding installing obtrusive room hardware like commercial door stop safety whenever possible.
