Ives FS40 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What are the differences between FS40, FS41, FS42, and FS43 models?
The models vary by mounting style and door compatibility. FS40 is standard floor mount, FS41 features wall mount capability, FS42 includes automatic hold-open function, and FS43 combines floor stop with magnetic hold-open. Check door swing direction and clearance requirements for proper selection.
2) How do I determine the correct door handing for installation?
Stand on the side where the door opens toward you. If hinges are on your right, it's right-hand. If hinges are on your left, it's left-hand. The floor stop mounts on the hinge side of the door frame. Verify handing before ordering specific configurations.
3) What door weights and sizes do these floor stops support?
Ives forged brass floor stops typically handle commercial-grade doors up to 200 pounds. Door width compatibility ranges from 24 inches to 48 inches depending on model. Verify specific weight ratings and door dimensions with manufacturer specifications before installation.
4) Are these floor stops suitable for high-traffic commercial applications?
Yes, forged brass construction provides durability for heavy commercial use. The solid brass body resists wear from frequent door operation. These units meet commercial building standards and perform well in offices, retail, and institutional settings with proper installation.
5) What finishes are available for these Ives floor stops?
Common finishes include polished brass, satin brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and satin chrome. Finish availability varies by model number. Match existing door hardware finishes for consistent appearance throughout the building.
6) Do these units meet fire door code requirements?
Some models are suitable for fire-rated assemblies when properly specified. Automatic hold-open versions typically require connection to fire alarm systems for code compliance. Consult local building codes and fire marshal requirements before installation on fire doors.
7) What tools are needed for floor stop installation?
Basic installation requires drill, masonry bits, level, measuring tape, and appropriate fasteners. Concrete anchors or wood screws depending on floor material. Use manufacturer template for accurate hole placement. Mark door swing path before drilling to ensure proper stop positioning.
8) How do I adjust the holding force on automatic models?
Automatic hold-open models feature adjustable tension mechanisms. Turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase holding force, counterclockwise to decrease. Test door operation after each adjustment. Proper setting allows normal closing while maintaining secure hold-open position.
9) Can these floor stops work with other Ives door hardware?
Yes, these coordinate with other Ives hardware products for matching appearance and function. Consider pairing with Ives hinges, door closers, and exit devices for complete door systems. Verify compatibility with specific closer models if using both products.
10) What maintenance do forged brass floor stops require?
Clean brass surfaces with appropriate metal cleaner to maintain finish. Check mounting fasteners periodically for tightness. Lubricate moving parts on automatic models annually with light machine oil. Inspect for wear or damage during routine building maintenance.
11) Are replacement parts available for these floor stops?
Yes, Ives provides replacement components including adjustment mechanisms, mounting hardware, and rubber bumpers. Keep model numbers for parts ordering. Contact manufacturer for specific part availability and compatibility with older installations.
