Know before you buy
Yes, because they are crafted from solid cast iron, they provide significant weight and stability. They are designed to hold most standard interior doors securely in place.
Absolutely. The cast iron construction is durable enough for outdoor use, though you may notice some natural weathering or oxidation over time if they are exposed to constant moisture.
While the base is flat and sturdy, it is metal. If you are concerned about potential scuffing on delicate surfaces, we recommend applying a small felt pad to the bottom of the door stop.
Yes, the set includes two identical cast iron cat figures, allowing you to use them on two separate doors or together for a balanced look.
Each cat measures approximately 8.375 inches tall. The extended front paws are designed to wedge under standard door gaps, but you should ensure your door clearance is at least 0.5 to 1 inch to accommodate the thickness of the metal paws.
