Every cheap wedge I tried just skated across my hardwood like a hockey puck. These actually grip the floor and hold doors open without leaving marks or scuffs behind.

Magnetic Door Stops That Hold Doors Flush to the Wall
My hallway door used to slam into the wall and chip the paint every time someone threw it open. Magnetic stops catch the door gently and hold it open until you pull it free.

Hinge Pin Door Stops for Tight Spaces
Some of my doorways have zero floor clearance for a wedge, and the walls are too close for a magnetic catch. Hinge pin stops solved this problem I didn't even know had a name.

Heavy Duty Door Stoppers for Exterior and Garage Doors
Carrying laundry from a detached garage or through a heavy exterior door is a whole different battle. Regular wedges can't handle the weight, so I upgraded to these tanks.
Grab this for the garage-to-house door that weighs a ton and has a self-closing hinge working against you. It actually holds against the spring. I was shocked.

Sometimes the stopper itself is fine but you need a little extra grip, protection, or convenience. These small additions fixed the annoying problems my stoppers couldn't handle alone.
