Position a door stopper by measuring 2 inches in from the edge of the door and marking the spot where you'll attach it.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Measure: From the edge of the door, measure 2 inches inward.
- Mark: Use a pencil to mark the location for the door stop attachment.
- Pilot Hole (Recommended): Point drill a pilot hole at the mark. This helps guide the screw and prevents the wood from splitting, especially on harder woods.
- Install: Align the door stop with the mark (or pilot hole) and attach it using the appropriate mounting screw.
This 2-inch placement generally allows the door stop to effectively prevent the door from hitting the wall or other objects, while also providing stability.
