Ives IVE-FS497-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Ives FS497 be installed on a concrete floor?
Yes. Fasteners for heavy duty masonry and for drywall/wood applications both ship with the FS497, so a concrete or masonry slab and a wood subfloor are each covered out of the box. No separate anchor kit is needed for either substrate.
2) Does the Ives FS497 meet ANSI/BHMA requirements for a commercial door stop?
The FS497 is certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16 with the function designation L11301, and it is classified as commercial hardware. That is the identifier a spec writer or facilities buyer needs to match the stop to a hardware schedule for a school, hospital, or government building.
3) My door has a big undercut and the FS497 won't reach. What floor stop should I use instead?
Go to a gooseneck style stop, which rises off the floor to meet the door rather than sitting flat under it. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors and functions as a door holder, and Delaney's gooseneck floor door stop and the Emtek 2253 goose style stop are the same idea. The FS497 is capped at 1 inch door-to-floor clearance, so past that it is the wrong shape for the opening.
4) Can I use the Ives FS497 on a fire-rated door that has to close on alarm?
No. The FS497 is a mechanical automatic holder that keeps the door open until someone pulls it free, and nothing releases it on an alarm signal. Fire doors have to be self-closing and self-latching, so any hold-open on them must be an electromagnetic holder or a hold-open closer tied into the fire alarm. Use the FS497 on non-rated openings.
5) My door has more than 1 inch of clearance to the floor - what should I use instead of the FS497?
The FS497 is specified for door-to-floor clearances of 1 inch maximum, so a taller device is the right call above that. The Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop and the Emtek 2253 Goose Style Door Stop both rise off the floor on a gooseneck to meet the door higher up, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop reaches the door the same way while also functioning as a door holder. Choose the gooseneck when the undercut is generous; the FS497 sits low and needs the door edge close to the floor.
6) Is there another hold-open floor stop besides the Ives FS497?
Yes. The Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip is listed with a product function of door holder and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch. The FS497 differs in form and mounting logic: it is a brass unit set for door-to-floor clearances of 1 inch maximum, with the holder on the door and the strike on the wall, and it ships with fasteners for both heavy duty masonry and drywall/wood. The Orca is a gooseneck riser off the floor; the Ives is a low tapered unit built so a child cannot ride it.
7) What is the difference between the Ives FS497 floor stop and a plain floor bumper like the Deltana UFB4505?
The FS497 is a dual-function device: it stops the door and automatically holds it open, with the holder position on the door fully adjustable. The Deltana UFB4505 is a round universal floor door bumper at 1-1/2 inches in solid brass from the UFB Series, which stops the door but does not hold it open. If the opening needs to stay parked open for carts, deliveries or ventilation, the FS497 is the one that does that job; if you only need to protect the wall from the knob, a bumper is the simpler device.
8) For a commercial building, how does the Ives FS497 compare to a magnetic holder like the SOSS MDH?
Both park a door open, but they do it differently. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop measuring 3-5/16 inches by 1-3/4 inches with a heavy duty rating; it catches the door magnetically against a wall-side unit. The Ives FS497 is a mechanical brass stop and automatic holder rated to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301 and designated commercial, with the holder mounted on the door and the strike on the wall. Specify the FS497 when the submittal calls for a BHMA 156.16 L11301 floor stop and holder; specify a magnetic holder when you want the door released by pull rather than by a mechanical trip.
9) Which way should the Ives FS497 floor stop and holder be mounted, holder on the door or on the wall?
Mount the holder on the door and the strike on the wall. That orientation is what Ives recommends for the FS497 and it puts the adjustable holder where you can move it to correct the hold-open angle after the door is hung.
10) Is the Ives FS497 safe to use in a school or a building with children?
The FS497 uses a tapered body specifically to prevent child riding, which is why it turns up in schools, healthcare, and multi-tenant residential work. That tapered profile is the difference between it and a squared-off floor stop a kid can stand on.
11) What finishes does the Ives FS497 come in, and how do I match it to my existing lever hardware?
Five finishes: 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Order by the BHMA number rather than the color name. If the building standard is US26D, that is 626 satin chrome, the most common commercial finish; US10B oil-rubbed bronze is 613. The stop is brass under the plating in every case.
12) Is a magnetic door holder a substitute for the Ives FS497?
Not the same part. A magnetic holder like the SOSS MDH, 3-5/16 by 1-3/4 inches and rated heavy duty, catches the door against a wall-mounted magnet and needs a wall or column behind the door at the right height. The FS497 works off the floor and does not care what is behind the door, which is why it goes in where the door swings into open space or where the wall is glass or too far back to reach.
13) I only need to keep the knob off the wall on an office door - is there a simpler option than the Ives FS497?
Yes, if holding the door open is not part of the job. The Delaney Dome Door Stop, the Emtek 2251 Half Dome Door Stop and the Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop, low rise with gray tip, are all bumper-only floor stops; the Orca 23LP is listed with a product function of door stop. The FS497 carries the extra automatic holder mechanism and an adjustable holder position on the door, which is what you are buying it for. Where doors are not meant to stand open, the dome stop does the whole job.
14) Which brass floor stops are alternatives to the Ives FS497 when the finish has to match decorative hardware?
The FS497 is a brass substrate device offered in 605 bright brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. On the decorative side, Deltana's solid brass floor bumpers cover several cap profiles: the UFBD3505 round universal floor bumper at 3-1/2 inches decorative, the UFBP4505 round bumper with pattern cap at 1-5/8 inches, and the UFBS138 square universal floor bumper at 1-3/8 inches. Those Deltana units are bumpers rather than holders, so match them to openings where the door does not need to stand open.
15) Will an Emtek 2254 or 2257 floor bumper substitute for the Ives FS497?
They look like substitutes and are not. The Emtek 2254 is a floor door bumper measuring 1-3/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches and the Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper; both arrest the door swing only. The FS497 adds an automatic holder with an adjustable position on the door and a tapered body meant to prevent child riding, and it is designated commercial to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301. Swapping a bumper in on a replacement order will leave the door without its hold-open, which is usually the reason the FS497 was specified.
16) I am standardizing floor stops across a school and need one anchor type for both concrete and wood floors - how does the Ives FS497 compare?
The FS497 ships with fasteners for both heavy duty masonry and drywall/wood applications, so one part number covers slab-on-grade corridors and wood-framed upper floors without a separate anchor order, and it is a commercial device meeting ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11301. Among the alternatives, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series is the one that also holds the door, listed for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, while the Orca 23LP Series dome low rise is a stop-only unit for the openings in the same facility that should self-close.
17) Is the Ives FS497 durable enough for a high-traffic entry that gets kicked open all day?
Brass through the substrate, not a plated pot-metal casting, and it is classified as commercial-grade hardware certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16. Brass also holds up in wet or salt-exposed entries where a plain steel stop rusts at the base. It is the stop specified for offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, and government work.
18) If I'm standardizing floor stops across a building, can I order the Ives FS497 in one finish for every door?
Yes, the FS497 is a single model number across all five finishes, so the part is identical opening to opening and only the finish suffix changes. Order it as FS497 plus the finish, for example FS497-US26D for 626 satin chrome. One spec line, one ANSI function designation (L11301), covers every door where clearance is 1 inch or less.
