Product description of the manufacturer
The VABNEER door stopper is a door handle buffer that protects walls and furniture from damage.
According to the manufacturer, this product is made of high-quality PVC material and has a certain elasticity .
To prevent banging noises or damage caused by door handles in the home, this product can simply be attached to door handles.
In the practical test , the product was particularly impressive due to its uncomplicated installation: no tools, drills or glue are required for installation.
Another positive aspect is the color of the door bumper: the transparent color means it is hardly noticeable and blends unobtrusively into the interior.
For the future, it would be desirable for the manufacturer to consider an alternative packaging without plastic.
Advantages
- Transparent and inconspicuous color
- Easy to attach by clipping on
- Elasticity of the PVC ensures low noise levels
Disadvantages
- Use of plastic in packaging

When you pick up the product for the first time, you immediately notice the transparent color. This makes it possible to fit the doorstop in the home without it being too visually conspicuous.
The material feels smooth, high-quality and robust at the same time. Due to its robustness, it can be assumed that this is a sustainable product .
If you pull on the individual rings, you will notice that they have a certain elasticity. It can therefore be assumed that they are minimally stretchable and can presumably be used on many different door handles.
One package contains a total of ten door buffers so that many different door handles in the home can be fitted with them.
