Ives FS115328 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the FS1153 mount on the door or on the wall?
It is a door-mounted plunger holder. The unit fastens to the face of the door, and when you press the plunger down it extends 1-5/8 inches to the floor to hold the door open. A light tap on the platform lever releases it. The rubber shoe at the tip is what contacts the surface, so nothing gets marred on the way down or when the door swings free.
2) Will the FS1153 screws work on a hollow metal door, or do I need different fasteners?
The FS1153 ships packed with fasteners for wood applications only. On a hollow metal door or an aluminum storefront stile you will need to supply your own machine screws and either tap the skin or use a suitable anchor. Plan that into the job before the crew is on site, because the pack will not have what a metal door needs.
3) Is the Ives FS1153 rated for commercial door hardware use?
Yes. The FS1153 carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16 with a product code of L11401, and it is classified for commercial rather than residential service. That is the standard covering auxiliary hardware, which is where door holders and stops fall. If a facility spec calls out a BHMA-certified holder, this one answers it.
4) Can I use the FS1153 to hold open a fire-rated door?
No. A manual plunger holder like the FS1153 is a hold-open you set and release by hand, with nothing to drop it on an alarm. A fire-rated opening that needs to be held open requires a hold-open device that releases on fire alarm signal, typically an electromagnetic holder or a closer with integral hold-open release. Use the FS1153 on non-rated openings: office doors, classroom doors, storerooms, and corridor doors that are not part of a rated assembly.
5) What is the Trimco equivalent of the Ives FS1153 plunger door holder?
The Trimco 1257M, from the 1257 Series, is the plunger holder to cross to when a job calls for Trimco rather than Ives. Both are plunger-type holders that mount to the door and drop a spring-loaded rod to hold the door open. The Ives FS1153 is aluminum with a 1-5/8 inch throw and meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11401, so on a spec that names the L11401 function or a 1-5/8 inch throw, confirm the Trimco unit is ordered to match those before swapping.
6) What happens to the FS1153 when the rubber tip wears out?
The ribbed grey rubber shoe is held on with a single screw and is meant to be replaced. On a high-traffic opening the shoe is the wear part, not the body, so you back out the screw, swap the shoe, and the holder keeps working. That matters for a maintenance department standardizing on one holder across a building: you are stocking a small rubber part, not whole units.
7) What finish does the Ives FS1153 come in?
One finish: 628, clear anodized aluminum. That is the satin silver-tone anodize that matches most aluminum storefront framing, aluminum door pulls, and closer covers, so it blends on a glass front or a commercial corridor without needing a finish match conversation. If a job is specified in bronze or brass, the FS1153 will not match it.
8) Should I use a plunger door holder or a wall-mounted door stop with a hold-open?
A plunger holder like the FS1153 rides on the door itself and drops to the floor wherever the door happens to be, so it holds at any open position and does not care how far the door is from a wall. A wall stop holds only at the one point where the door meets the wall, and needs solid blocking at that spot. On an opening with no usable wall behind it, an inswing into open space, or a door you want held part-way, the plunger is the one that works. The tradeoff is that the FS1153 sits on the door face and must be pressed and released by hand.
9) Is the Ives FS1153 handed, or does one part work on left and right hand doors?
The FS1153 is not handed. It mounts on the face of the door and plunges straight down to the floor, so the same unit works on a left hand or right hand door and on either an inswing or an outswing. Order one part number and it covers every opening in the building, which is what you want when you are buying by the case for a property.
10) Is a wall bumper or floor stop a substitute for the Ives FS1153?
No. The FS1153 is a plunger door holder, meaning it holds the door open in position until the platform lever is tapped to release it. A wall bumper or floor stop only limits how far the door swings and lets it drift back closed. If the requirement is a positive hold-open, the FS1153 or another plunger holder such as the Trimco 1257M is the correct part; if the requirement is only to protect the wall from the door edge, a stop is the part being asked for.
11) Will an aluminum plunger holder mark up my painted wall or door casing?
The FS1153 body is aluminum, but the part that makes contact is a ribbed grey non-marring rubber shoe, so painted walls, moldings, and door finishes stay intact. This is the reason to pick a plunger holder over a bare metal stop in a corridor where the finish is on show.
12) What is the exact part number to order the Ives clear anodized plunger holder?
Ives FS1153, ordered in 628 clear anodized aluminum. FS1153 is the model designation and 628 is the finish suffix. Ives builds the FS series as plunger-type holders, so the FS1153 with the 1-5/8 inch throw is the specific unit, not a family designation you still have to configure.
