Ives IVE-FS496-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much gap can there be under the door for an Ives FS496 floor stop and holder to work?
The FS496 is built for door to floor clearances of 3/8 inch maximum. Measure the gap under the door leaf at the point where the stop lands before you order. If the undercut is larger than 3/8 inch, this unit won't engage properly and you need a taller floor stop or a wall stop instead.
2) Does the Ives FS496 hold the door open, or is it just a bumper?
It does both. The FS496 is a floor stop with an automatic holder, so the door catches and stays open when swung to the holder, and it also stops the door from hitting the wall. That's the difference between it and a plain floor bumper like the Emtek 2254 or the Deltana UFB4505, which only stop the swing and won't hold the leaf open.
3) Is the Ives FS496 floor stop ANSI/BHMA certified for a commercial spec?
Yes. The FS496 carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16 certification with the L11301 product code, and Ives lists it as a commercial-grade unit. If your drawing calls out an A156.16 floor stop and holder by function code, L11301 is the number to match against.
4) Should I use a floor stop with a holder or a gooseneck floor stop?
A gooseneck rises off the floor and reaches up to catch the door edge, which suits doors with a large undercut. The FS496 sits low and works only where the door to floor clearance is 3/8 inch maximum. If your gap is bigger, look at a gooseneck type such as the Orca 22HD Series, which is listed as a door holder for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Emtek 2253 goose style stop.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Ives FS496 floor stop and automatic holder from another brand?
The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is the nearest peer, because its product function is listed as Door Holder rather than stop-only, matching what the FS496 does when it holds the door open. The Orca 22HD Series lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch. The Ives FS496 is brass and is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301, so on an opening where the certification has to appear on the submittal the FS496 is the one that carries it.
6) If the door does not need to be held open, what is a simpler alternative to the Ives FS496?
A stop-only floor bumper does the job with fewer parts. The Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip and its product function is Door Stop, so it arrests the door without any hold-open mechanism. The Deltana UFBS138 is a square universal floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch in solid brass, and the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper measures 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. The Ives FS496 is the choice only when the opening needs the door to stay put after it swings.
7) The door has more than 3/8 inch of floor clearance. What should be used instead of the Ives FS496?
The Ives FS496 is built for door to floor clearances of 3/8 inch maximum, so a taller riser is needed on an undercut door. A goose neck style stop stands off the floor: the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop and the Emtek 2253 goose style door stop both use that raised form, as does the Delaney gooseneck floor door stop. Among dome and bumper profiles the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch decorative round universal floor bumper in solid brass and the Deltana UFB4505 is a 1-1/2 inch round universal floor door bumper.
8) Which part of the Ives FS496 goes on the door and which goes on the floor?
Ives recommends mounting the holder on the door with the strike positioned on the wall side. The holder position on the door is adjustable, so you can tune where the door catches rather than being locked to one hold-open angle.
9) Do I need to buy separate anchors to install the Ives FS496 in a concrete floor?
No extra fasteners needed. The FS496 ships with fasteners for both heavy duty masonry and drywall/wood applications, so a concrete slab, a wood subfloor, or a drywall wall strike are all covered out of the box.
10) What finishes does the Ives FS496 floor stop come in?
Five finishes: 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. For a building already standardized on 626, order FS496-US26D; the older US number is stamped in the part code, so US3 is 605, US10 is 612, US10B is 613, and US26 is 625.
11) Is the Ives FS496 safe for a school or daycare where kids ride the doors?
The holder is tapered specifically to prevent child riding, which is why it gets specified in schools, healthcare, and other public buildings. Brass construction and the ANSI/BHMA 156.16 rating back it up for heavy traffic openings.
12) What can I use instead of a floor stop if I can't drill the floor?
A wall-mounted magnetic holder is the usual answer. The SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop, 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches, is a heavy duty unit that both stops and holds the door without any floor penetration. It's worth considering on tile, terrazzo, or membrane floors where an anchor is a problem.
13) Will a low-profile dome floor bumper do the same job as the Ives FS496?
Only if you don't need hold-open. A dome or low-rise stop such as the Orca 23LP Series, the Delaney Dome Stop, or the Emtek 2251 half dome stops the door at the wall and nothing more. The FS496 adds the automatic holder that catches and keeps the door open, which is what makes it the pick for openings that get propped all day.
14) Is a dome or half dome floor stop a substitute for the Ives FS496 automatic holder?
No. Dome and half dome units stop the door and release it. The Emtek 2251 half dome door stop, the Delaney dome door stop and the Orca Hardware 23LP Series, whose product function is Door Stop, all arrest the swing without holding. The Ives FS496 combines the stop with an automatic holder, and its holder mounts on the door with the strike positioned on the wall. Specifying a dome in place of the FS496 gives up the hold-open entirely.
15) How does a magnetic door holder compare with the Ives FS496 for holding a door open?
The SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop measures 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch and is rated Heavy Duty; it holds the door with a magnet against a wall-side catch. The Ives FS496 holds mechanically, with an adjustable holder position on the door and a tapered holder design that prevents child riding, and it is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301. In a school or healthcare corridor where the tapered profile and the ANSI/BHMA listing are part of the spec, the FS496 is the one that answers it.
16) For a commercial specification, what separates the Ives FS496 from decorative brass floor bumpers?
The Ives FS496 is designated Commercial and carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301, and it ships with fasteners for heavy duty masonry as well as drywall and wood substrates. The decorative brass bumpers cover the same floor-mounted position with different cap treatments: the Deltana UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch round universal floor door bumper with a pattern cap in solid brass, the Deltana UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch decorative round bumper, and the Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. Those are bumpers chosen on profile; the FS496 is chosen when a certification line and masonry anchoring have to be satisfied.
17) What is the Ives FS496 made of, and will it hold up in a wet or coastal building?
The substrate is brass, which resists corrosion better than plated steel in damp entries, washdown areas, and coastal sites. Finish choice matters too: 626 satin chrome and 625 bright chrome are the usual picks for institutional corridors, while 613 oil-rubbed bronze is the darker architectural finish.
18) Which floor stop matches the Ives FS496 on brass construction across a mixed hardware package?
The Ives FS496 uses a brass substrate and comes in 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Solid brass peers that sit alongside it in the same finish family include the Deltana UFB4505 round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inch, the Deltana UFBS138 square bumper at 1-3/8 inch and the Deltana UFBP4505 pattern cap bumper at 1-5/8 inch. Pairing the FS496 on the hold-open doors with a matching solid brass bumper on the stop-only doors keeps one look through a corridor.
