Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 Magnetic Automatic Floor Stop and Holder, Forged Brass

The Ives FS40 series are heavy-duty, floor-mounted automatic door stops with a built-in magnetic hold-open mechanism. The unit engages automatically when the door swings open and releases with a firm pull - no foot kick, no manual latch. Four models cover the full range of door-to-floor clearances found in commercial construction, so you select the model that fits the gap, not the other way around. Forged brass body. ANSI/BHMA 156.16, Grade L11301.

Model Selection by Door-to-Floor Clearance

  • FS40 - 1/2" or less
  • FS41 - 9/16" to 1-1/16"
  • FS42 - 1-1/8" to 1-9/16"
  • FS43 - 1-5/8" to 2-1/16"

Measure the gap between the bottom of the door and the finished floor before ordering. Selecting the wrong model is the most common installation error - the strike arm will not engage if the clearance is outside the model's rated range.

Key Features

  • Magnetic automatic operation: Engages on door open; releases with a firm pull - no manual intervention required in high-traffic corridors.
  • Forged brass construction: Greater density and strength than cast alternatives; resists deformation under repeated impact.
  • Adjustable strike arm: Holder position is field-adjustable to fine-tune engagement within the model's clearance range.
  • Fasteners included: Packed with hardware for both masonry and wood substrates - no separate fastener order required.
  • ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301: Meets commercial code compliance requirements for door holders.
  • Heavy-duty rating: Rated for high-traffic commercial use - office buildings, healthcare, education, multi-family, government.

Ives FS40 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I pick between the Ives FS40, FS41, FS42 and FS43 floor stops?
Measure the gap between the bottom of the door and the finished floor first, then pick the model that brackets it. FS40 covers 1/2 inch or less, FS41 covers 9/16 inch to 1-1/16 inch, FS42 covers 1-1/8 inch to 1-9/16 inch, and FS43 covers 1-5/8 inch to 2-1/16 inch. Apart from that clearance range the four are the same part: forged brass body, magnetic automatic hold-open, floor mounted. Getting the clearance wrong is the usual install failure, because the strike arm will not engage the door if the gap falls outside the model's rated range. On a building with mixed undercuts you may need two or three of the four models to cover every opening.
2) Can the Ives FS40 automatic floor stop be installed on a concrete slab, or only on wood flooring?
Both. The unit ships packed with fasteners for masonry and for wood substrates, so a concrete slab, a tile floor over slab, or a wood subfloor are all covered without a separate anchor order. Mounting is to the floor, not the wall or the door, so you need clear floor at the point where the door swings to its stop.
3) I only need to stop the door at the wall, not hold it open. What is the simpler floor-mounted option?
Drop the holder and buy a floor bumper. The Ives FS40 series carries a magnetic hold-open that engages when the door swings open and releases on a firm pull, and that mechanism is the reason the model has to be matched to the door-to-floor clearance. A plain bumper has nothing to engage, so the clearance question goes away. Solid brass floor bumpers include the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch, the Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inch, and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is also a door stop by function rather than a holder. Any of these stops the door's travel and lets it swing back.
4) Is there a magnetic hold-open floor stop from another brand that does the same job as the Ives FS40 series?
The SOSS MDH Magnetic Door Holder and Stop is the closest cross-brand match. It combines the stop and the magnetic hold-open in one floor-mounted unit, measures 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches, and is rated heavy duty. The selection method is what differs. The Ives FS40 family splits into four models by the gap between the bottom of the door and the finished floor: FS40 for 1/2 inch or less, FS41 for 9/16 to 1-1/16 inch, FS42 for 1-1/8 to 1-9/16 inch, and FS43 for 1-5/8 to 2-1/16 inch. So with Ives you measure the gap first and the model number falls out of it, and the strike arm will not engage if the clearance sits outside the model's range. The SOSS MDH is a single unit at one set of dimensions. Ives also carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301 on the FS40 series, which is what a hardware schedule calls out when it specifies a graded door holder.
5) The clearance under my door is more than 2-1/16 inches. What floor stop reaches the door?
Past 2-1/16 inches you are above the top of the Ives FS40 family, since FS43 is the tallest of the four and covers 1-5/8 to 2-1/16 inch. A gooseneck floor stop is the usual answer at that point, because the arm rises off the floor to meet the face of the door rather than working inside a fixed clearance band. The Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop are both gooseneck floor mounts. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is listed as a door holder rather than a plain stop, and it lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inch, so confirm the leaf thickness before ordering it.
6) Can staff release an Ives FS40 series floor holder without bending down or kicking a lever?
Yes, and that is the point of the magnetic design. The holder grabs the door automatically as it swings open, and a firm pull on the door breaks the magnet. Nobody has to flip a catch with their foot or reach down to trip a lever, which is why it suits corridors where carts, gurneys and hands-full traffic move through all day.
7) Does the Ives FS40 series meet the ANSI door holder requirement called out on my hardware schedule?
The FS40, FS41, FS42 and FS43 are certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, Grade L11301, and they carry a heavy duty rating for commercial use. That L11301 designation is the door holder classification a hardware schedule normally cites, so it can be written into a spec for office, healthcare, education, government or multi-family work as supplied.
8) My building has mixed door undercuts. Can I still keep one finish across every Ives floor holder?
Yes. Each of the four clearance models is built in all six finishes, so the openings that need an FS40 and the openings that need an FS43 can still match. The finishes are 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. As an example, satin chrome runs from FS4026D on the shallow gap through FS4326D on the deepest, and bright brass runs FS403 through FS433.
9) Is there another magnetic floor door holder besides the Ives FS40 series?
The SOSS MDH is the other magnetic door holder and stop in the range, sized 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches and rated heavy duty. The difference in ordering is that the Ives FS series asks you to match a model to the door-to-floor gap, in four steps from 1/2 inch up to 2-1/16 inch, and gives you a forged brass body in six architectural finishes. Pick the Ives when you are matching finishes across a hardware schedule or when the undercut is known and consistent.
10) I want a door holder but not a magnetic one. What is the gooseneck alternative?
The Orca Hardware 22HD Series gooseneck floor stop with black tip is listed as a door holder rather than a plain stop, and it is specified for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. A gooseneck takes its dimension from the door thickness rather than the undercut, which is the opposite of how the Ives FS series is selected, so it is the one to reach for when the floor gap is unusual or varies from opening to opening. The trade-off is that the Ives holds and releases by magnet with no contact hardware on the door.
11) Will a solid brass floor bumper hold the door open like the Ives FS40 does?
No, and this is the substitution that gets returned most often. A bumper stops the swing and that is all it does. The Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper, the Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper, the Deltana UFBP4505 round floor door bumper with pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch, and the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop are all stops, so the door returns as soon as the pressure comes off it. The Ives FS40 series adds a magnetic hold-open that catches the door on the swing and releases with a firm pull, which is what keeps a corridor or a ward door standing open without a wedge. Among the alternatives, the SOSS MDH Magnetic Door Holder and Stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series are the ones listed as holders rather than stops.
12) Our facility standard calls for a heavy-duty commercial door holder. Which floor holders meet that?
The Ives FS40 series is designated commercial, heavy duty, with a forged brass body and ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301, which is the line a hardware schedule points at when it names a graded floor holder. The SOSS MDH Magnetic Door Holder and Stop is the other heavy-duty magnetic holder among the alternatives, at 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches. For a facility standardizing across many openings, the practical difference is that the Ives line is ordered by clearance band -- FS40, FS41, FS42, FS43 -- so one part number per gap range covers a building with mixed floor coverings, from bare slab to carpet and tile, without changing product families.
13) What is the part number for an Ives FS42 in satin chrome?
FS4226D. The numbers read model first, then finish: FS4226D is the FS42 in 626 satin chrome, FS4210 is the same model in 612 satin bronze, FS4210B is 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, FS4226 is 625 bright chrome, FS423 is 605 bright brass and FS424 is 606 satin brass. The same finish suffixes carry across the other three clearance models, so an FS41 in satin chrome is FS4126D.
14) Will an Ives FS40 series floor holder survive a busy corridor, or is it a residential-grade part?
Built for commercial traffic. The body is forged brass rather than cast, which resists deformation when a door slams into it day after day, and the unit is rated heavy duty and certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301. That is the level normally installed in hospital corridors, school buildings, government offices and multi-family common areas, not a residential-grade bumper.
15) I want the lowest-profile floor stop I can get for a corridor. What are my options?
The Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is built as a low rise unit with a gray tip and is listed as a door stop, which is the flattest of the alternatives when a tall unit in a walking path is the concern. The Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch and the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inch are the smaller of the brass bumpers. Note what you give up: none of those catch the door. The Ives FS40 model is the lowest of the Ives automatic holders and is the one used where the door-to-floor clearance is 1/2 inch or less, so it sits closest to the floor of the four while still carrying the magnetic hold-open.
16) What is the more decorative floor stop for a finished lobby or a residential-grade opening?
The Deltana UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper is the decorative one, at 3-1/2 inch in solid brass, and the Deltana UFBP4505 round floor door bumper carries a pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch, also solid brass. Both read as trim rather than as hardware. The Ives FS40 series is a different visual object: a forged brass functional holder with a tri-base floor mount and a strike arm, offered in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome, so it will key to a brass or bronze finish schedule even though its form is utilitarian. Choose on whether the opening needs the hold-open function or just a finished-looking stop.
17) The other doors in the building already have small round brass floor bumpers. Can I match them?
If the goal is to match what is already down, stay with a round brass bumper: the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch in solid brass, the Deltana UFBP4505 round bumper with pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch in solid brass, or the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch. The Deltana UFBS138 is the square-base version at 1-3/8 inch if the existing hardware is square. If instead one or two of those doors needs to stand open and the rest do not, the Ives FS40 series is available in 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass alongside the bronze and chrome finishes, so the holder can be finished to match the bumpers on the neighboring doors while doing a different job.
