Design Hardware KDS-A-26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far does the Design Hardware KDS-A kick down stop hold the door off the floor?
The KDS-A has a 4 inch projection from the base to the rubber tip, so the arm swings down and catches the floor 4 inches out from the door face. The base itself measures 2 x 1-5/16 inches. That projection is what determines how much floor clearance you need under the door for the stop to engage, and whether it will clear thick carpet or a threshold.
2) What fasteners come with the KDS-A kick down door stop, or do I need to supply my own?
Four 1 inch sheet metal screws ship with the KDS-A. Sheet metal screws thread into hollow metal and wood doors as supplied. If you are mounting to an aluminum storefront stile or need a through-bolt on a hollow core door, plan on sourcing your own fasteners for that substrate.
3) Is the base on this kick down stop cast metal or stamped?
Solid cast aluminum. That matters on a kick down stop more than on a wall bumper, because the arm takes repeated kicks and the weight of a door leaning against it. Cast aluminum keeps the weight down compared to cast brass while still holding up in corridor and entry traffic.
4) Should I use a kick down stop or a wall stop on my door?
A kick down stop like the KDS-A is the answer when there is no wall behind the door to mount a bumper to, or when you want the door to hold open at any point in its swing rather than just at full open. It mounts on the door itself and you kick the arm down to engage. A wall or floor stop only stops the door at one fixed position and does nothing to hold it there. The tradeoff with a kick down is that it needs 4 inches of projection below the door edge to reach the floor.
5) Will the rubber tip on this kick down stop mark my floor?
The KDS-A uses a grey rubber bumper rather than black. Grey rubber is the usual choice where black tips leave scuff marks on light tile, VCT, or finished concrete. It is the part that contacts the floor and takes the wear, so it is the item to look at first when a stop stops holding.
6) Can I use the KDS-A on the same doors across a building for consistency?
Yes. The KDS-A is a single base size (2 x 1-5/16 inch) with a fixed 4 inch projection, offered in three finishes, so there is no handing or size selection to track door by door. For a property manager standardizing a corridor or a run of units, you pick the finish that matches the existing trim and order the same part for every opening.
