Don-Jo 1466-DU – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does a kick down door holder like the Don-Jo 1466 actually hold a door open?
You kick the lever down with your foot and it drops to the floor, wedging against the surface to hold the door where it sits. Kick it back up and the door swings free again. It mounts to the bottom of the door, not to the floor slab, so there is nothing sticking up out of the walking surface when the holder is not in use. The 1466 is a foot-operated holder rather than a stop, so it is for keeping a door open on demand, not for limiting how far the door swings.
2) Will a 4 inch projection kick down holder clear the gap under my door?
The 1466 has a 4 inch projection, which is the reach of the lever from its mounting point down to the floor. That covers normal commercial door-to-floor clearances including doors sitting over thresholds or low-pile carpet. If your undercut is unusually deep, measure from where the holder body will sit on the door face down to the finished floor and confirm it falls inside that 4 inch reach.
3) Should I use a kick down door holder or a floor mounted dome stop?
They do different jobs. The Don-Jo 1466 is a holder: it keeps a door open until someone releases it, and it travels with the door so nothing is fixed in the floor. A floor dome stop like the Ives FS13 or FS17 is fixed to the slab and stops the door at a set point to protect the wall, but does not hold it open. If you need both functions in one fixed unit, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder combines them with adjustable door-to-floor clearance. Buildings that do not want anything anchored in the finished floor, carpeted lobbies and hospital corridors especially, go with the kick down.
4) Is a kick down holder allowed on a fire door?
No. A kick down holder mechanically defeats the self-closing action, and fire rated openings are required to close and latch, so a manual hold-open device is not permitted on them. Hold-open on a rated door has to be done with a listed electromagnetic holder or a closer with a fire-rated hold-open arm tied to the alarm so the door releases. Use the 1466 on non-rated openings: offices, classrooms, retail, and warehouse doors.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Don-Jo 1466 kick down floor door holder if I need a stop and holder in one unit?
The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is the nearest functional peer. Like the Don-Jo 1466, it both stops the door and holds it open, and it is a heavy duty unit with adjustable door-to-floor clearance. The difference is in how the hold engages: the 1466 uses a foot-operated kick down lever with a 4 inch projection in cast iron, while the Ives FS40 series holds automatically when the door swings to the stop.
6) I only need to stop the door, not hold it open. What should I use instead of the Don-Jo 1466?
If holding open is not required, a plain floor stop is the simpler part. The Ives FS13 and FS17 are heavy-duty brass floor dome stops with rubber bumpers, the FS13 using a replaceable bumper. The Orca Hardware 23LP dome floor stop is a low rise version with a gray tip. All of these stop the door swing only; the Don-Jo 1466 adds a kick down holding function that keeps the door open hands-free.
7) The floor under the door is carpeted or uneven so a kick down holder will not seat. What holds the door open instead of the Don-Jo 1466?
A magnetic holder avoids floor-surface dependence entirely. The SOSS MDH is a heavy duty magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inches by 1-3/4 inches, which catches and holds the door by magnet rather than by a foot-operated lever dropping to the floor. The Don-Jo 1466 relies on its 4 inch kick down arm making contact with the finished floor, so it is the better fit where the floor is hard and level.
8) Is cast iron worth it for a door holder in a high traffic building?
Cast iron is what makes the 1466 hold up where a stamped or light cast part deforms. The lever takes repeated foot pressure and gets dragged across the floor every cycle, which is where lighter holders bend or wear at the pivot. Don-Jo classifies the 1466 for commercial use, and cast iron is the reason it survives school corridors, hospital wings, and warehouse doors that get held open dozens of times a day.
9) Do I need to buy screws to install the Don-Jo 1466, or does it come with them?
Mounting hardware is in the box. Each 1466 ships with four #8 x 1 inch sheet metal screws. On a hollow metal door those go straight into the door face; on a wood door they thread into the stile. Nothing else is required to mount it, though on a metal door you will want to drill and, depending on gauge, consider machine screws into tapped holes if the door skin is thin.
10) I want a door holder but not one mounted on the door itself. What else is there?
Two alternatives to the Don-Jo 1466. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series gooseneck floor stop is listed as a door holder and mounts to the floor, fitting 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inch doors. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches, which catches and holds the door magnetically rather than mechanically. The tradeoff with both is that they are anchored in the floor or wall, so you are committing to a fixed hold-open point instead of the anywhere-in-the-swing hold a kick down gives you.
11) Will the Don-Jo 1466 damage my floor finish?
The kick down lever on the 1466 is cast iron and bears directly on the floor, so on VCT, sealed concrete, or coated surfaces expect scuffing at the contact point over time. On carpet it is a non-issue. If the door sits on a finished hardwood or high-end resilient floor and marking is a concern, a floor-anchored option is the safer specification: the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop or the Orca 23LP Series low rise dome stop with a gray tip both keep the contact off the open floor area.
12) Will a kick down holder work on a door with a closer on it?
Yes, that is the normal application. The 1466 is mounted low on the door and the closer works at the head, so there is no interference. The cast iron lever is what resists the closer trying to pull the door shut, which is why holder weight matters on doors with strong closer spring settings. Just confirm the closer is not on a fire rated opening, where a manual hold-open is not permitted.
13) What is the low-profile alternative to the Don-Jo 1466 for a trip-hazard-sensitive corridor?
Low floor bumpers sit close to the floor and present less to catch a foot. Options include the Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inches and the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inches, both solid brass, plus the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inches. These bump the door only. The Don-Jo 1466 projects 4 inches and adds the hold-open function those bumpers do not have.
14) For a decorative finish-sensitive opening, what alternative to the Don-Jo 1466 cast iron holder should I look at?
Solid brass decorative floor bumpers are the usual choice where the hardware is visible in a finished space: the Deltana UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper at 3-1/2 inches is a decorative solid brass unit, and the Deltana UFBP4505 offers a patterned cap at 1-5/8 inches in solid brass. Emtek's 2251 half dome door stop is another finished-space option. The Don-Jo 1466 is cast iron in sprayed finishes including aluminum, brass plated, satin bronze, and duronodic brown, and it is the one that actually holds the door open.
15) I need a floor stop for a detention or high-abuse opening. Is the Don-Jo 1466 the right pick?
For openings where the stop itself may be attacked or abused, the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor stop is the purpose-built heavy duty option. The Don-Jo 1466 is a commercial-grade cast iron kick down holder aimed at keeping doors open hands-free in offices, schools, healthcare, and similar traffic, rather than at resisting deliberate abuse.
16) Can I use a residential floor stop in place of the Don-Jo 1466 on an apartment common-area door?
The Sure-Loc DS-FL1 floor stop with spring and the Sure-Loc DS-FL2 cylindrical floor stop are built for residential doors, and the Delaney Dome Door Stop is a residential-style dome unit. Any of those will arrest a door swing but none provides a hold-open. The Don-Jo 1466 is classified for commercial use in cast iron and is the one specified where a common-area door has to be propped open hands-free.
17) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1466 kick down holder come in?
Four: AL aluminum, BP brass plated, BZ satin bronze, and DU duronodic brown coated. For a property manager matching a building, DU is the one that blends with dark bronze anodized aluminum storefront and commercial entry hardware, and AL is the match for clear anodized aluminum doors. BP and BZ coordinate with brass and bronze lever and closer finishes.
18) Can I standardize the Don-Jo 1466 across a whole facility, and does it come in bulk?
It is sold in shelf packs of 10, which suits doing a wing or a floor of a building in one order. Pick one finish across the facility so the maintenance stock is interchangeable. Because the holder mounts to the door and not the slab, it works across mixed floor conditions in the same building, carpet in offices and VCT in corridors, without spec'ing a different part per opening.
