DESIGNS & FINISHES

Ives IVE-FS18L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Ives FS18S/FS18L security floor or wall stop used for?
The Ives FS18S and FS18L are heavy-duty security stops designed to prevent unauthorized door opening. They mount to floor or wall surfaces and provide positive door positioning with tamper-resistant construction for high-security applications.
2) What door types and weights are compatible with the FS18 series?
These stops work with most standard swing doors including wood, metal, and composite doors. Verify door weight capacity with manufacturer specifications. Check door thickness and swing direction before ordering to ensure proper fit.
3) What is the difference between FS18S and FS18L models?
The FS18S is typically the standard version while FS18L indicates a longer projection or different mounting configuration. Check the manufacturer specifications for exact dimensional differences and choose based on your door clearance requirements.
4) Can these stops be used for both floor and wall mounting?
Yes, the FS18 series is designed for dual mounting capability. Floor mounting provides maximum holding power while wall mounting works when floor installation is not possible. Use appropriate fasteners for your substrate material.
5) What finishes are available for the Ives FS18 stops?
Ives typically offers these stops in standard architectural finishes including satin stainless steel, dark bronze, and primer finish for field painting. Verify available finishes when ordering to match existing door hardware.
6) What is the security grade or strength rating of these stops?
The FS18 series is built for high-security applications with heavy-gauge construction. Check manufacturer specifications for exact force ratings and security certifications if required for your application.
7) Do these stops meet building code requirements?
Security stops must not interfere with egress requirements. Verify local building codes regarding door stops on exit doors. Some applications may require removable or override capabilities for emergency egress.
8) What fasteners and installation hardware are included?
Most Ives stops include standard mounting screws. Heavy-duty applications may require additional fasteners like concrete anchors or toggle bolts depending on mounting surface. Check package contents and substrate requirements.
9) How do you install the FS18 floor or wall stop?
Mark stop position when door is at desired open angle. Drill pilot holes per manufacturer template. Secure with appropriate fasteners for substrate. Test door operation and adjust position if needed before final tightening.
10) Can the stop position be adjusted after installation?
Limited adjustment may be possible depending on model design. Most security stops have fixed positions once installed. Plan installation carefully to achieve desired door position. Some models may have adjustable contact points.
11) What other Ives door stop models are available as alternatives?
Ives offers various door stops including wall bumpers, floor stops, and overhead stops. Browse our door hardware section for additional Ives stop options suited to different security levels and applications.
12) What measurements are critical for proper FS18 selection?
Measure door swing radius, floor or wall clearances, and desired stop angle. Note door bottom clearance and any threshold height. Check for conflicts with other hardware or architectural features in the stop contact area.
