Don-Jo 1455-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Don-Jo 1455 kick down door holder hold my door open on carpet, or do I need something else?
The 1455 works by dropping a rubber-tipped arm down onto the floor, and it gives you a 4 inch projection from the door face. On hard floors that reach is what puts the tip firmly on the surface. On thick carpet or an uneven floor, a kick down holder can ride up or drag, and a wall-mounted or floor-mounted stop is the more reliable choice there. Nothing in the 1455's build changes that: it's a cast aluminum surface-mounted holder that depends on friction at the floor.
2) Is the Don-Jo 1455 rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential door stop?
Commercial. The 1455 is built as a commercial-grade kick down holder in cast aluminum and meets ANSI L11382, which is the door holder classification a spec writer calls out on commercial openings. It's the part you'd put on office, school, hospital, retail, and government doors rather than a light residential stop.
3) The rubber tip on my kick down holder is worn out. Can I just replace the rubber on a Don-Jo 1455?
Yes. The rubber shoe is a separately orderable part, and the 1455 takes either the 1468 or the 1469 door holder rubber. That's the wear item on a kick down holder, so on a high traffic opening you replace the tip rather than the whole holder.
4) I need a kick down holder with more reach than 4 inches. What are my options?
The 1455 is a 4 inch projection holder, which is the common size and suits a normal floor-to-door-bottom clearance. If you have a taller undercut, a thick mat, or a raised threshold to clear, the Orca Hardware 40ST Series kick down holder runs 5.275 inches and gives you the extra reach. Measure the gap under your door at the point where the holder will land before deciding.
5) Can I put a kick down holder on a fire rated door?
Not as a hold-open. A fire door has to close and latch on its own, so anything that props it open defeats the assembly and gets flagged on inspection. Fire doors that need to stand open take an electromagnetic hold-open tied to the fire alarm so they release on alarm. Use the 1455 on non-rated doors: offices, classrooms, retail, storerooms, and corridor doors that carry no rating.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Don-Jo 1455 kick down door holder in a heavy duty line?
The Ives FS455A is the nearest match. Both are kick down door holders with a 4 inch projection built in aluminum: the Don-Jo 1455 is cast aluminum with a 4 inch projection, and the FS455A is a 4 inch satin aluminum kick down holder rated heavy duty. If the opening already has one and you are standardizing, the two cover the same job at the same reach off the door face.
7) What kick down door holder should I use if I need brass rather than aluminum?
Use the Ives FS455, which is a brass kick down door holder with a 4 inch extension and a non-marring rubber shoe. The Don-Jo 1455 is cast aluminum, so on a brass-trimmed opening where the holder body itself needs to be brass rather than a brass plated coating, the FS455 is the one to spec. Both reach 4 inches off the door.
8) The floor sits lower than the door bottom and a 4 inch holder will not reach. What is the alternative?
The Orca Hardware 40ST Series kick down door holder extends 5.275 inches, giving over an inch more reach than the 4 inch projection of the Don-Jo 1455. On thresholds with a recessed slab, a thick mat, or carpet transition where the shoe on a 4 inch holder stops short of the floor, the longer Orca body closes that gap.
9) What screws come with the Don-Jo 1455 door holder, and will they hold in a hollow metal door?
Three #8 x 1 inch sheet metal screws ship with each 1455. Those bite fine into a hollow metal door skin or a solid wood door. On a hollow core wood door, a 1 inch SMS into the thin face skin won't hold a holder that takes a kick, so plan on hitting the stile or backing the mount.
10) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1455 kick down door holder come in?
Five: 626 satin chrome, BP brass plated, BZ satin bronze, CP chrome plated, and DU duronodic brown. If you're matching existing hardware on a floor of doors, 626 is the usual commercial pairing with satin chrome levers and closers, and DU is what you'd use against dark bronze aluminum entrance work.
11) Should I use a kick down door holder or a wall stop with a hold-open on a commercial door?
A kick down holder like the 1455 mounts to the door itself and holds it at whatever angle you happen to kick it down, so it works where the door swings to no fixed point and where there's no wall behind it. A wall stop with a hold-open only holds at the one position the wall gives you, but it takes the impact off the door and doesn't sit in the walking path. Where the door needs to park open at varying angles, or the wall is glass or too far away, the kick down is the one that works.
12) How does the Don-Jo 1455 compare to the Ives FS455 kick down holder?
Both give a 4 inch extension. The difference is material: the 1455 is cast aluminum, while the Ives FS455 is brass with a non-marring rubber shoe and is rated heavy duty. If the opening is abusive, a warehouse or a dock door where the holder gets kicked hard daily, the heavy duty brass FS455 or the FS452 with its stainless steel spring is the sturdier pick. For standard office, school, and retail doors, the cast aluminum 1455 does the job and offers more finish choices.
13) I'm standardizing kick down holders across a building in satin chrome. What matches?
Order the 1455 in 626, which is satin chrome, and it will read the same as the rest of your 626 lever and closer hardware. If you need to fill in from another brand on the same floor, the Delaney Kick Down Door Stop/Holder is also offered in satin chrome US26D, and the Ives FS455A is a satin aluminum heavy duty 4 inch holder, which is a close but not identical tone. For a clean visual match across a whole facility, keep to one finish code rather than mixing 626 and satin aluminum on the same corridor.
14) Does a Don-Jo 1455 kick down door holder have a handing, or does one part fit both left and right doors?
No handing to specify. A kick down holder mounts to the face of the door near the bottom edge and drops straight down, so the same 1455 goes on a left hand or right hand door. You only choose the finish and whether you want spare rubber.
15) Is the Ives FS452 the same thing as a Don-Jo 1455?
They are both kick down door holders, but they are not the same part. The FS452 is described by its stainless steel spring and carries a heavy duty rating; the Don-Jo 1455 is defined by a 4 inch projection in cast aluminum. The FS452 does not carry a 4 inch extension in its description the way the Ives FS455 and FS455A do, so if the reach to the floor is what you are matching, confirm the projection before swapping an FS452 in for a 1455.
16) Which kick down holder should I standardize on across a facility if I want a non-marring shoe against finished flooring?
The Ives FS455 is the one that states a non-marring rubber shoe, on a brass body with a 4 inch extension. The Don-Jo 1455 holds the same 4 inch projection in cast aluminum and its rubber is a serviceable part, with the 1468 and 1469 door holder rubbers available for it, so replacements on a fleet of 1455s can be bought without pulling the holder. Choose on whether you want the shoe specified up front or the rubber restocked over the life of the door.
17) Do I need a heavy duty kick down holder like the Ives FS452 or FS455A, or will a Don-Jo 1455 hold up in a school corridor?
The Ives FS452 and FS455A both carry a heavy duty rating. The Don-Jo 1455 is a commercial product built in cast aluminum and meets ANSI L11382. On high-traffic corridor doors in schools and offices, the ANSI L11382 designation is what a specification writer will be matching against; where a drawing calls out heavy duty by name, the Ives FS452 or FS455A answer that wording directly.
18) Do I need to buy the Don-Jo 1455 by the case or can I order a couple?
The 1455 is packed in shelf packs of 10, which is how it's stocked for contractors and facility crews doing a run of doors. It's the right buy when you're doing a floor at a time rather than a single opening.
19) What is the difference between the Ives FS455 and the FS455A?
Both are 4 inch kick down door holders rated heavy duty. The FS455 is brass with a non-marring rubber shoe; the FS455A is satin aluminum. The material is the split between them, and it is the same choice you make against the Don-Jo 1455, which is cast aluminum with a 4 inch projection and offered in finishes including 626 satin chrome, BP brass plated, BZ satin bronze, CP chrome plated, and DU duronodic brown.
