this type of stop is rabbeted by grooving or cutting a dato or cerf cut from the solid piece of 3" thick X 8" depth timber stock the door jamb or casing is made from. This method of building a door stop will never move over time and insures a perfect seat for the heavy duty door seals.

Many manufacturers In order to further cut labor cost they choose to use straight cut lumber and create this stop by simply stacking one board on top of another board and clueing, stapling, or nailing them together to form the door stop. As your door is opened and closed it bangs or hammers against this stop until it moves and allows the seals to leak. This method of creating a door stop has proven to be ineffective over time.
