Ives IVE-FS452-4-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Kick down door holder or a floor stop, which one do I need for a door I have to prop open?
They do different jobs. The Ives FS452 is a hold-open. It mounts on the face of the door, and a tap of the foot drops the arm onto the floor and holds the door wherever it sits; another tap releases it. A floor stop or wall bumper only limits how far the door swings, it will not keep the door open. Because the FS452 rides on the door, you can hold the leaf at any position that clears the traffic. The trade-off is floor clearance: the door bottom has to sit within 2 inches of the floor for the FS452-4, or within 3 inches for the FS452-5.
2) Does the Ives FS452 kick down holder meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial hardware spec?
The FS452 is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, listed as L11383 for the brass version and L31383 for the aluminum version. Ives classes it heavy duty and commercial. If a submittal calls for a BHMA code on door holders, cite the one that matches the substrate you are ordering, which on this holder is set by the finish you pick.
3) Which kick down door holder works when the door sits high off the finished floor?
The Ives FS452-5 reaches a door-to-floor clearance of up to 3 inches, while the FS452-4 is built for 2 inches or less, so the 5 inch body is the one to order over thick carpet, a raised threshold, or an undercut door. Orca's 40ST series kick down door holder measures 5.275 inches, and Delaney's kick down door stop/holder is the other foot-operated option for the same door-face position. Measure from the bottom of the door to the floor at the arc of the swing, not at the hinge, since the gap grows across the sweep on an out-of-level floor.
4) What other brands of kick down door holder are there besides the Ives FS452?
Two other options carried alongside it. The Orca Hardware 40ST Series is a 5.275 inch kick down door holder. The Delaney kick down door stop/holder comes in satin chrome US26D. The Ives FS452 is the one you order by measured floor gap, since it splits into the FS452-4 for 2 inches of clearance or less and the FS452-5 for up to 3 inches, and it carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16 certification with separate codes for brass and aluminum. If your openings vary in floor clearance across a building, that split is the reason to stay with the Ives.
5) Is the Ives FS452 kick down holder made of brass or aluminum?
Both, and the finish is what decides it. The 628 clear anodized finish is the aluminum version; the rest of the finishes are supplied on brass. That also determines which BHMA certification code applies, L31383 on aluminum and L11383 on brass. So if a spec names the substrate, you satisfy it by ordering the right finish rather than a separate part number.
6) When the rubber wears out on an Ives FS452, do I have to replace the whole holder?
No. The black rubber shoe is replaceable and screw fastened, so a worn shoe comes off and a new one goes on without pulling the holder off the door. The shoe is non-marring with a corrugated bottom, which is what gives it bite on the floor while keeping it from scuffing finished surfaces, and the spring mechanism behind it is stainless steel. On a high-traffic opening that makes the shoe the consumable rather than the assembly.
7) I need a kick down holder in oil-rubbed bronze or matte black to match the rest of the openings - what are my options?
The Ives FS452 carries the finish range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 clear anodized aluminum and 643E aged bronze, each available in both the 4 inch and the 5 inch body. Delaney's kick down door stop/holder is built in satin chrome US26D. For a building standardized on bronze or black, the FS452 keeps one part number family across every door regardless of which clearance each opening needs.
8) What other brand makes a foot-operated kick down door holder in satin chrome?
Two satin chrome kick down holders sit next to each other. The Ives FS452 is offered in 626 satin chrome in both the 4 inch body and the 5 inch body, and Delaney builds a kick down door stop/holder in satin chrome US26D. Both mount to the door face and are set and released with the foot. On the Ives, the 4 inch is for a door-to-floor clearance of 2 inches or less and the 5 inch for clearance up to 3 inches, so measure the gap at the point of swing before matching finish.
9) The submittal calls for an ANSI/BHMA certified kick down holder - which one satisfies it?
The Ives FS452 is a heavy duty commercial holder certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11383 on the brass substrate and L31383 on the aluminum substrate, with finish 628 specified for the aluminum version and the remaining finishes on brass. When a facility submittal names the L number, that certification travels with the FS452 order. Delaney's kick down door stop/holder and Orca's 40ST series kick down door holder are the adjacent foot-operated devices for the same location on the door face.
10) We standardize on satin chrome. What kick down holder options do I have in that finish?
Ives offers 626 satin chrome on both the FS452-4 and the FS452-5, so you can hold to one finish across openings with different floor gaps. For a second source in the same finish, the Delaney kick down door stop/holder is supplied in satin chrome US26D. US26D and 626 are the same finish written in the older US numbering and the BHMA numbering, so either one matches satin chrome levers and closers already on the building.
