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.
