Every time a door is flung open a bit too hard, the handle hits the wall. You may not notice the first few times, but slowly the paint chips, plaster cracks, and a little crater forms exactly at handle height. It doesn’t look great.
Soft bumpers—small rubber or foam pieces stuck on the wall behind the handle or fixed on the floor as a stopper—absorb that impact. The door still opens fully, but it rests gently against the bumper instead of slamming into the wall.
This tiny piece of hardware can save you from repairing dents, repainting patches, and constantly seeing that ugly mark behind the door. It’s one of those small preventive fixes that pay off quietly over years.
