Stop Overview

Stop Molding is a narrow trim piece typically used on door and window frames to prevent the door or window from swinging past the frame. It serves as a functional barrier that stops the door or window at the correct position when closed. While primarily functional, stop Molding can also enhance the appearance of door and window casings by providing a clean, finished edge.

Profile Description

  • Narrow and flat: Usually thin and flat, with one side attaching to the door or window jamb.
  • Simple profile: Typically lacks intricate detailing and has straight, clean edges for a minimalist look.
  • Rounded or squared edges: May have either rounded or squared edges depending on the design aesthetic.
  • Varying thickness: Available in different widths and thicknesses to accommodate different door and window frame sizes.

Purpose

  • Stops door or window movement: Acts as a physical barrier that prevents the door or window from swinging beyond the frame, ensuring it stays securely closed.
  • Enhances insulation: When used in combination with weatherstripping, it can help create a tighter seal around doors and windows, improving energy efficiency and insulation.
  • Covers gaps: Provides a clean, finished look by covering any gaps between the door or window and the frame.
  • Adds durability: Protects the door or window frame from wear and tear caused by repeated closing.

Common Usage

Interior Doors: Installed on the inside of door jambs to stop the door from swinging past the frame when closed, often used on interior bedroom, bathroom, and closet doors.

Exterior Doors: Used on exterior doors in conjunction with weatherstripping to provide a tight seal against drafts and moisture.

Windows: Applied to window frames, particularly with casement windows, to ensure they close securely without overextending.

Sliding Doors: Occasionally used on sliding doors or other movable partitions to act as a stop.

Cabinet Doors: Can be found in custom cabinetry where stop Molding is used to ensure doors align and close flush with the frame.

How a Profile Molding Knife Works

  1. The profile knife itself is a piece of metal designed to be attached to a planer or molding machine.
  2. The profile of the cutting edge replicates the specific design of the door stop molding you want to create.
  3. By running wood planks through the machine with the profile knife attached, the wood is shaped into the desired door stop molding profile.
