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) 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.
