Ives 581A Compact Aluminum Wardrobe Hook

The Ives 581A is a low-profile wardrobe hook engineered for installations where door clearance is tight. At just 1-5/8" projection, it mounts cleanly behind doors in residential, multi-family, hospitality, and office environments without interfering with door swing. Aluminum construction keeps weight low while delivering the finish durability expected from Ives architectural hardware. Meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16 standards. Fasteners for wood applications included.

Key Features

  • Low Projection: 1-5/8" projection (P) minimizes door clearance impact — purpose-built for behind-door mounting.

  • Aluminum Substrate: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction suited for interior door and wall applications.
  • ANSI/BHMA A156.16 Compliant: Meets the commercial-grade standard for auxiliary hardware performance and durability.
  • Ready to Install: Ships with wood fasteners — no separate hardware order required.
  • 10 Finish Options: Bright Brass, Blackened Brass, Bright Nickel, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Aluminum Clear Coat, Aged Bronze, Matte Black, and White — select at checkout.

Ives IVE-581-A26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Ives 581A hook fit behind a door without hitting the door or the wall when it swings?
That's what the 581A is built around. It projects 1-5/8 inches off the face of the door, with a 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 inch backplate footprint, so on a door hung with normal clearance to an adjacent wall or a facing door it stays out of the swing path. Anything hung on it (a coat, a towel) will project further than the hook itself, so measure your clear swing against the loaded thickness, not the 1-5/8 inches.
2) What finish do I order to match the rest of the Ives hardware already on my doors?
The 581A comes in ten finishes, each tied to a BHMA code so it lines up with what's already specified on the opening: 666 Bright Brass, 609 Blackened Brass, 669 Bright Nickel, 670 Satin Nickel, 672 Bright Chrome, 702 Satin Chrome, 673 Aluminum Clear Coat, 643E Aged Bronze, 622 Matte Black, and White. Match the BHMA number on your hinges or lock trim rather than the finish name, since names vary between manufacturers and the code doesn't.
3) Does the Ives 581A meet ANSI/BHMA A156.16 for a commercial spec?
It meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the standard covering auxiliary door hardware, which is the line item a hook usually has to satisfy on an architectural hardware schedule. Worth noting that our record classifies the 581A as residential-duty, so for high-traffic institutional openings weigh that against the standard it meets.
4) What is the closest commercial equivalent to the Ives 581A wardrobe hook?
The Trimco 3070-1 Coat and Hat Hook, from the Trimco 3070 Series, is the nearest peer in intent: like the Ives 581A it is a single commercial coat and hat hook rather than a decorative bath accessory. The 581A itself is aluminum, measures H 1-1/4 inch by W 1-1/4 inch with a 1-5/8 inch projection, and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16. If a specifier has written the 3070-1 into a schedule and wants the low-projection aluminum alternative, the 581A is the direct cross.
5) I need to hang a coat and a towel on the same point behind a hotel bathroom door - is the Ives 581A the right hook?
The Ives 581A is a single-hook wardrobe hook with a 1-5/8 inch projection, so it gives one hanging point. For two garments on one mounting plate, look at a double hook instead: the Deltana 55D2010 Double Robe Hook in solid brass from the 55D Series, the Deltana 88DRH Double Robe Hook in solid brass from the 88 Series, the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely Double Robe Hook, or the Emtek 2306 Sandcast Bronze Double Hook. Those double units carry a coat and a towel from a single set of fasteners; the 581A is the choice when the door swing is tight and minimum projection matters more than a second hook.
6) The door needs a hook and a bumper at the same spot - can the Ives 581A do both?
No. The Ives 581A is a wardrobe hook only, with wood fasteners included; it does not act as a stop. The Trimco 7010 fOCAL Robe Hook and Stop, from the Trimco 7010 Series, combines the hook and the stop function in one piece. Use the 7010 where the opening needs both from a single mounting point, and the 581A where the door already has a stop and only a low-projection hook is being added.
7) Does the Ives 581A wardrobe hook come with screws, or do I need to order fasteners separately?
Fasteners for wood applications ship with the hook. If you're mounting into a hollow-core door skin, drywall, or metal, you'll need to supply the appropriate anchor yourself, since the included hardware is wood screws.
8) How does the Ives 581A mount, and how many holes do I have to drill?
Two mounting holes through the backplate, fastened straight to the substrate with the included wood screws. The plate is only 1-1/4 inches square, so the hole spacing is tight, which matters if you're mounting to a hollow-core door and want both fasteners landing in something solid. Surface mount only, no cutout or mortise prep.
9) Aluminum or brass for a hook in a hotel bathroom or a damp area?
The 581A is aluminum, which is corrosion resistant and light, and it's fine for interior door and wall use including bathrooms. If you want a solid brass body instead, ZenSupply carries the Deltana 88DRH double robe hook in the 88 Series and the Emtek 2606 solid brass robe hook. Both are heavier-bodied bath hardware rather than a low-projection behind-door hook, so you gain substrate and lose the tight 1-5/8 inch projection.
10) Single hook or double hook, which should I put on the back of a guest room door?
The 581A is a single-arm hook, so it takes one robe or one coat and keeps the smallest possible profile. If the opening needs two garments hung, ZenSupply carries double hooks including the Deltana 55D2010 in the 55D Series, the Deltana BBS2010 in the BBS Series, the Orca Hardware 4854 Blakely, and the Emtek 2266 SELECT knurled tip double hook with rosette. A double will stand off further from the door than 1-5/8 inches, which is the trade you're making.
11) Is there a hook that also works as a door stop so I don't have to buy both?
The 581A is a hook only, no stop function. If you want the two combined on one plate, ZenSupply carries the Trimco 7010 fOCAL robe hook and stop from the 7010 Series, which serves both purposes at one mounting point. For a straight commercial coat and hat hook comparable to the 581A, the Trimco 3070-1 in the 3070 Series is the closer match.
12) What should I specify instead of the Ives 581A if the hook has to be solid brass rather than aluminum?
The Ives 581A is built on an aluminum substrate. For a solid brass single hook, the Emtek 2606 Solid Brass Robe Hook from the Traditional Bath Hardware series is the substitution; the Deltana 55D2010 in the 55D Series and the Deltana 88DRH in the 88 Series are solid brass in a double-hook configuration. Emtek also offers the 25050 Wrought Steel Robe Hook and the 2306 Sandcast Bronze Double Hook if the material call is steel or bronze rather than brass.
13) Are the Orca and Emtek robe hooks a drop-in swap for the Ives 581A behind a guest room door?
Treat them as different products, not a drop-in. The Ives 581A is a compact wardrobe hook at H 1-1/4 inch by W 1-1/4 inch with a 1-5/8 inch projection, sized so it clears the door swing behind the door. The Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress, 3654 Swirl, 4854 Blakely and 4954 Whidbey robe hooks, and the Emtek 2266 SELECT Knurled Tip Double Hook with Rosette, are decorative bath hardware series intended to coordinate with a bath suite. They will hang a robe, but they are styled and proportioned for a wall in a bath group rather than for minimum projection on the back of a door.
14) I am standardizing hooks across a multi-family portfolio - which single hook keeps the fewest variables across unit types?
The Ives 581A holds one footprint, H 1-1/4 inch by W 1-1/4 inch with 1-5/8 inch projection, across ten finishes including Satin Nickel (581-A15), Matte Black (581A-BLK) and White (581A-W), and it ships with wood fasteners, so the same part and the same prep repeat unit to unit with only the finish changing. Among the single-hook peers, the Emtek 2606 Solid Brass Robe Hook and the Emtek 25050 Wrought Steel Robe Hook sit in separate material series, and the Deltana BBN2009 Single Robe Hook belongs to the BBN Series while the Deltana BBS2010 is a double in the BBS Series - matching a portfolio across those means tracking series as well as finish.
15) Can the Ives 581A go on a wall instead of a door?
Yes. It's rated for interior door and wall applications, and it surface-mounts through two holes either way. On drywall, swap the included wood screws for an anchor rated to the load you plan to hang, or hit a stud or blocking. Nothing about the 1-1/4 inch plate requires a door.
16) I want a decorative hook rather than a plain flat one. What's the alternative to the Ives 581A?
The 581A is deliberately plain and compact, a 1-1/4 inch square aluminum plate meant to disappear behind a door. For a hook that reads as a finish detail in a bath or a guest suite, ZenSupply carries the Orca Hardware 2753 Cypress and 3654 Swirl robe hooks, the Emtek 2306 sandcast bronze double hook, and the Emtek 25050 wrought steel robe hook. Those are styled bath hardware; the Ives is utility hardware.
