Ives FS44126D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will an Ives FS441 gooseneck floor stop still catch the door if there is a large gap under the leaf for carpet or an air return?
Yes, up to 1-1/2 inches of undercut. The FS441's gooseneck arm rises off the floor so the rubber bumper meets the face of the door rather than the bottom edge, which is the whole reason to use a gooseneck instead of a low floor bumper on an undercut door. Past 1-1/2 inches of undercut the door will pass over the bumper and hit the wall.
2) Can the Ives FS441 floor stop be anchored into a concrete slab, and do the fasteners come with it?
Fasteners are in the box for both heavy duty masonry and wood applications, so a concrete or terrazzo slab and a wood subfloor are both covered without a separate anchor order. Drill the floor using the stop itself as the template and set it with the supplied hardware. That matters on a punch list, since a floor stop that arrives without anchors stalls the install.
3) Gooseneck floor stop or a low dome floor bumper, which one should I use?
It comes down to the gap under the door. A dome or cylindrical bumper sits low and takes the hit on the bottom edge of the leaf, which is fine on a door that closes tight to the floor: examples are the Orca 23LP Series low rise dome stop, the Emtek 2251 half dome, the Deltana UFBS138 square bumper at 1-3/8 inches, and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical bumper at 1-1/2 inches. A gooseneck like the FS441 arches up and hits the door face instead, so it works where the door is undercut for carpet or an air transfer gap, up to 1-1/2 inches. Undercut door, use the gooseneck. Tight door bottom and you want the least visible hardware, use the dome.
4) I need the door to stay open, not just stop. What should I use instead of the Ives FS441?
The Ives FS441 is a floor stop: the gooseneck arm and grey rubber bumper catch the door at its open position but do not retain it. For an opening that has to stay open, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is designated a door holder and is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, and the SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, rated heavy duty. The SOSS unit uses a magnet to retain the door, so it needs a mating strike on the door itself, while the Ives FS441 mounts to the floor alone with fasteners for heavy-duty masonry and wood.
5) What gooseneck floor stops from other brands are comparable to the Ives FS441?
The Ives FS441 is a brass gooseneck floor stop with a grey non-marring rubber bumper, a 2-1/8 inch H by 2-7/8 inch L by 1-5/8 inch D footprint, and accommodation for door undercuts up to 1-1/2 inch, meeting ANSI/BHMA 156.16 under L12131. Three other gooseneck-style floor stops cover the same shape: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, part 40118X, in Delaney's Gooseneck Door Stop series; the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop; and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop, which ships with a black tip, is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, and is designated a door holder rather than a stop.
6) Can I substitute a round floor bumper for the Ives FS441?
Not on the same opening without checking the undercut. A floor bumper is a low puck or cylinder that sits flat on the floor and takes the door on its face or bottom rail; examples are the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch in solid brass, the Deltana UFBS138 square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch in solid brass, the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, and the Emtek 2257 cylindrical floor bumper at 1-1/2 inch. The Ives FS441 instead carries its grey rubber bumper on a gooseneck arm that reaches up over a door undercut of as much as 1-1/2 inch, which is what makes it work on doors held well off the floor for carpet or airflow.
7) How far out into the floor does the Ives FS441 stick, and will housekeeping's floor machines catch on it?
Small footprint: H 2-1/8 inches, L 2-7/8 inches, D 1-5/8 inches. The gooseneck sits low enough that a buffer or auto-scrubber rides past it rather than snagging, which is why it gets specified in corridors that get machine cleaned nightly. Use the L dimension of 2-7/8 inches when you are checking that the stop clears the door swing arc and any floor transition or threshold in front of it.
8) What finishes does the Ives FS441 come in, and which part number do I order to match the rest of my door hardware?
Ten finishes, each a suffix on the FS441 base number: 605 bright brass (FS4413), 606 satin brass (FS441 US4), 609 blackened brass (FS441 US5), 612 satin bronze (FS441 US10), 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed (FS44110B), 619 satin nickel (FS44115), 622 matte black (FS441 BLK), 625 bright chrome (FS44126), 626 satin chrome (FS44126D), and 643E aged bronze (FS441 643E). Order by the BHMA finish number already on the hinges and levers at that opening, not by the finish name, since 626 and 619 read close to each other in a photo but do not match on the door.
9) My spec calls for ANSI/BHMA 156.16 on the door stops. Which of these floor stops meets it?
The Ives FS441 is the one carrying that designation: it is listed to ANSI156.16 under function number L12131, is classified commercial and heavy duty, and is built on a brass substrate. Of the other floor-mounted units, the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop is also rated heavy duty. Where a submittal has to name a BHMA function number for the stop, the L12131 designation on the Ives FS441 is what a reviewer is looking for.
10) I want solid brass floor hardware to match the rest of the door trim. What are my options besides the Ives FS441?
The Ives FS441 is built on a brass substrate and comes in ten finishes, among them 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 blackened brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze, and 622 matte black. On the floor-bumper side, Deltana's universal floor bumpers are solid brass as well: the UFB4505 round at 1-1/2 inch, the UFBS138 square at 1-3/8 inch, the UFBP4505 with a pattern cap at 1-5/8 inch, and the decorative UFBD3505 at 3-1/2 inch. The difference to weigh is form, not material - the Ives unit is a gooseneck that reaches over a door undercut, and the Deltana units are floor-mounted bumpers.
11) Will the Ives FS441 hold up on a high-traffic door, and will the bumper mark the door face?
Brass substrate, rated heavy duty and classed commercial, which is what you want on a corridor or classroom door that gets kicked open all day rather than a plated pot-metal stop. The bumper is grey non-marring rubber, so it takes the impact without leaving a black scuff ring on a painted or laminated door face the way a dark rubber tip can.
12) I want a floor stop with a more decorative look for an apartment or hotel guest room door. Is the FS441 the right pick?
The FS441 is built for commercial service, and the gooseneck shape is functional rather than decorative. If the opening is residential and the door closes tight to the floor with no undercut to clear, a low round bumper is less obtrusive: Deltana's UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch decorative solid brass floor bumper, the UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch solid brass bumper with a pattern cap, and the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper is 1-3/8 by 1-1/4 inches. Keep the FS441 where there is an undercut to clear or where the hardware schedule calls for a commercial heavy duty stop.
13) Which floor stop has a bumper tip that will not show against a light floor?
Tip color is the part that stays visible after install. The Ives FS441 uses a grey non-marring rubber bumper, and the Orca Hardware 23LP Series low-rise dome floor stop also carries a gray tip. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop comes with a black tip, which reads more strongly against pale tile or light carpet. All three protect the door and frame finish at the point of contact, so the choice comes down to how the tip sits against the floor and door color you already have.
