Imperial USA IMPGH-135-US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a kick down door holder and when should I use one instead of a wall or floor stop?
A kick down holder mounts on the door itself, near the bottom corner, and you drop the arm with your foot to hold the door open. The Imperial USA GH-135 is that drop down style. Use it where you want the door held open on demand, hands free, when carrying boxes or pushing a cart. A wall or floor stop only stops travel, it will not hold the door open. The GH-135 works in both commercial and residential openings.
2) How far does the Imperial GH-135 door holder reach down to the floor?
It is a 4 inch holder, so the arm covers 4 inches of drop from the mounting point. That is the standard size for a kick down on a normal opening with a typical floor gap or thin floor covering. On a door over deep carpet or a raised threshold where the gap under the door is larger, measure the drop you actually need before ordering a 4 inch unit.
3) Can I put a kick down door holder on any door, or does it depend on the door material?
The GH-135 fastens with sheet metal screws driven into the face of the door near the bottom corner, so you need a door face that will hold a screw: hollow metal, solid core wood, or a stile with enough material at the bottom rail. Hollow core wood doors and glass or narrow aluminum stiles at the bottom rail are where a kick down goes wrong, because there is nothing behind the skin to grip. Check what is behind the face at the bottom rail before you drill.
4) Will a kick down holder work on a fire rated door that has to self close and latch?
No. A kick down holder is a manual hold open device, and holding a fire door open with one defeats the closer that is required to let it latch. On a rated opening you want a listed hold open device tied into the fire alarm, or an electromagnetic holder that releases on alarm. Use the GH-135 on non rated doors: offices, storage rooms, apartment interiors, corridors that are not rated openings.
5) Will the GH-135 kick down holder mark up my floors?
The contact end carries rubber tips, so the holder bears on the floor through rubber rather than bare metal. That is what keeps it from scoring finished floors and what wears out first over the life of the part.
6) What is the Imperial GH-135 door holder made of, and will it hold up in a commercial building?
The body is cast zinc alloy, and the part is catalogued for commercial use. Zinc alloy gives you a solid cast arm rather than a stamped one, which is what takes the repeated foot pressure of a kick down in a corridor or a multi family entry. For heavy exterior traffic doors, remember a kick down holds the door in position but does not resist wind load the way a door holder arm mounted to the frame would.
7) Does the Imperial GH-135 come with mounting screws or do I need to buy fasteners?
Mounting screws are in the bag. It ships polybagged with sheet metal screws, so the only thing you supply is a drill and driver. Nothing else is required to mount it.
8) What finishes does the Imperial USA GH-135 kick down door holder come in?
Two: AL aluminum and US3 polished brass. Aluminum is the one that disappears against aluminum storefront and painted commercial doors; US3 polished brass is the match for brass lever sets and hinges on residential and hospitality openings. Pick the one that matches the rest of the trim on the door, since the holder sits at eye level for anyone looking down at the base.
9) I need to hold several doors open across a building. Is the GH-135 the same part for each door regardless of handing?
Handing is not a factor. A kick down mounts on the face of the door at whichever bottom corner you choose, and the arm drops straight down, so one part number covers left and right hand doors alike. For a fleet of openings the only decision is finish, aluminum or polished brass, and picking one keeps the building consistent.
10) Does the Imperial GH-135 protect the wall behind the door as well as holding it open?
It does help. Because the holder projects from the bottom of the door, dropping the arm stops the door before the leaf or the lever reaches the wall, which is what takes the abuse in a room where a door swings hard. It is not a substitute for a dedicated wall stop when the door is closing under a closer with the holder up, but with the arm down the wall is protected.
