Ives FS455-4-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) There's about an inch and a half of gap under our doors. Will the Ives FS455 kick down holder reach the floor?
An inch and a half is well inside the range. The Ives FS455 with the 4 inch extension is built for door-to-floor clearances of 2 inches or less, so any gap up to 2 inches is covered. The extension swings down from the holder body on the door face and sets the rubber shoe on the floor. If your undercut runs past 2 inches, you are outside what this one is built for and need a longer kick down body.
2) We can't drill into the terrazzo floor. Is there a way to hold these doors open without floor anchors?
A kick down holder is the usual answer, and the Ives FS455 is one. The whole unit fastens to the face of the door near the bottom; nothing is anchored in the floor. Tap the extension down with your foot and the rubber shoe grips the floor to hold the door, tap it back up to release. Because the shoe only rests on the floor, terrazzo, tile, and finished concrete stay untouched. It ships packed with fasteners for wood applications.
3) Do the screws come with the Ives FS455, and will they work on a hollow metal door?
Fasteners are in the box, but they are the wood-application set. On a hollow metal or aluminum door those are the wrong anchors, so plan on supplying fasteners matched to the door skin and any internal reinforcement, and confirm you have backing where the holder lands. On a solid wood or wood-core door the supplied screws are what you need. Mounting is on the door face at the bottom, so there is no frame or floor prep either way.
4) The gap under my door is more than 2 inches. What kick down holder works there instead of the Ives FS455?
The Ives FS455 carries a 4 inch extension designed for door-to-floor clearances of 2 inches or less, so an opening with a deeper gap - a door swinging over carpet or a raised threshold, or a door undercut for return air - is outside what it was sized for. The Orca Hardware TH-40ST is a 5.275 inch kick down door holder in the 40ST Series and covers a taller reach to the floor. Measure with the door closed from the bottom edge of the door to the finished floor, then choose the holder whose extension covers that dimension with travel left for the shoe to press down and grip.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Ives FS455 kick down door holder in satin chrome?
The Delaney 40280X Kick Down Door Stop/Holder is offered in satin chrome US26D and is the nearest one-for-one alternative to the Ives FS455 in 626 satin chrome, which is ordered as FS455-4-US26D. Both are foot-operated kick down holders that mount to the door face. The Ives FS455 is built on a brass substrate with a stainless steel spring and is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11382, and its 4 inch extension is sized for door-to-floor clearances of 2 inches or less, so measure the floor gap at the opening before committing to either one.
6) Should I use a kick down door holder or a door stop to keep a door from swinging shut?
Two different jobs. A door stop limits how far the door swings and keeps the lever off the wall; it will not hold the door open. A kick down holder like the Ives FS455 does the holding, using a foot-operated extension that drops to the floor and grips, and releases the same way. If your problem is the door hitting the wall, a stop is what you want. If the problem is the door not staying open, that's the kick down holder. Many openings end up with both.
7) Will an Ives FS455 kick down holder hold up on a high traffic door that gets propped open all day?
It's built for that. The FS455 uses a brass substrate with a stainless steel spring and carries a heavy duty rating for commercial use, not residential. It meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11382. The wear item is the rubber shoe on the bottom of the extension, and that part is replaceable, so a holder on a busy corridor or classroom door gets a new shoe rather than a new holder.
8) Our facility spec calls out ANSI/BHMA A156.16 door holders. Does the Ives FS455 meet it?
It does. The FS455 kick down holder is listed to ANSI/BHMA 156.16 under L11382 and is designated for commercial use at a heavy duty level, which is what a spec of that kind is generally after. Nine finishes are offered on the same model, so a facility standardizing on one holder across corridors, classrooms, and back-of-house can keep a single part number and change only the finish suffix.
9) Will a kick down holder scratch our LVT and hardwood floors?
The Ives FS455 lands on a non-marring black rubber shoe, not on metal, and the bottom of the shoe is corrugated so it grips instead of sliding across the finish. That is the part that touches the floor, so a resilient or wood floor takes rubber contact only. Keep the shoe clean of grit, which is what actually abrades a floor finish over time.
10) How much room does the Ives FS455 need on the bottom of the door?
The holder body measures H 1-3/4 by W 1-3/4 inches, with the 4 inch extension folding down from it. That 1-3/4 by 1-3/4 footprint is what has to sit flat on the door face, so check it against the bottom rail on an aluminum or glass door and stay clear of the glazing stop, sweep, or bottom rail hardware. On a flush wood or hollow metal door there is normally plenty of face to work with.
11) I need kick down door holders in matte black and aged bronze to match trim already on the doors. Which kick down line covers those finishes?
The Ives FS455 is produced in nine finishes on the same brass body: 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, and 643E aged bronze. That covers both matte black and aged bronze openings from one model number, which matters when you are standardizing a floor or a building and want the holders to read the same as the levers and hinges. The Delaney 40280X Kick Down Door Stop/Holder is a satin chrome US26D holder, a match where the surrounding hardware is chrome.
12) Can a different brand of kick down holder reuse the mounting holes left by an Ives FS455?
Plan on drilling new holes. The Ives FS455 body measures H 1-3/4 inches by W 1-3/4 inches with a 4 inch extension, while the Orca Hardware TH-40ST is a 5.275 inch kick down holder and the Delaney 40280X is a Kick Down Stop series unit, so the fastener pattern and the footprint on the door face are not interchangeable between makes. If the door is painted hollow metal or a finished wood stile you would rather not re-prep, note that the FS455 uses a replaceable black rubber shoe held on with screws, so a worn shoe can be changed without touching the existing mounting holes.
13) Which kick down door holder should I specify when the hardware schedule calls out ANSI/BHMA 156.16?
The Ives FS455 is the one to write into the schedule when the standard and L-number are named: it is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11382, classified heavy duty, and specified for commercial use, with a brass substrate and stainless steel spring. That combination is what a facility submittal or an institutional purchasing spec is usually asking for. The Delaney 40280X Kick Down Door Stop/Holder and the Orca Hardware TH-40ST from the 40ST Series are foot-operated kick down holders for openings where the schedule simply calls for a kick down holder without naming a certification line.
14) The rubber tip on our kick down holder is worn flat. Do we have to replace the whole unit?
No. On the Ives FS455 the black rubber shoe is a replaceable part, screw-fastened rather than bonded, so it comes off and a fresh one goes on with the holder still mounted to the door. That is the normal maintenance item on a kick down holder, since the corrugated rubber bottom is what does the gripping and it wears before the brass body does.
15) How do I specify an Ives FS455 kick down holder when I place the order?
Two things settle it: the 4 inch extension, which is the FS455-4, and the finish. Satin chrome is FS455-4-US26D and matte black is FS455-4-BLK; the rest of the nine finishes follow the same pattern with their own suffix. There is no handing or door thickness call-out to make on this one, and the fasteners for wood applications are already in the box, so the finish is the only real decision.
16) Is the Delaney 40280X the same part as the Ives FS455 under a different number?
No, they are separate parts from separate manufacturers that do the same job. The Ives part is model FS455 with a 4 inch extension, ordered by full number with the finish appended, such as FS455-4-US26D for 626 satin chrome. The Delaney 40280X is a Kick Down Stop series door stop/holder in satin chrome US26D. There is no factory cross-reference between them, so when a facility standard or a submittal names one, order that exact number rather than treating the two as one line item.
