Yang Guo 7 Report post Posted April 4, 2008 y regret getting the "Step stopper" ? i was thinking to get it.. jus tat cannot find it.. as I don't how it looks like when someone mentioned to me.. now looking at ur pic.. i was thinking to print it out n bring to home fix kind of shop to ask.. easier to find.. hehe.. but u said regretted.. how come leh? hmm..the step stopper is not strong enough to stop the door if i "step softly..". I must step harder instead. So its not powerful enough compared to magnetAdvantage of this stopper is that u can stop the door anywhere u want. eg. stop halfway,stop it 1/4 open etc.. For the magnet, u must open the door fully to attach the magnet together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
