Ives FS555-SP313 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a kick down door holder like the Ives FS555 on a fire rated door?
No. The FS555 is a mechanical hold-open with no automatic release, and a fire door assembly has to be self-closing, so any hold-open on it must let the door shut on an alarm signal. A kick down holder on a rated door is what an inspector writes up under NFPA 80. On a fire rated opening you need an electromagnetic hold-open or a closer/holder unit tied into the fire alarm. On non-rated doors, offices, classrooms, stockrooms, and corridors that carry no rating, the FS555 does the job.
2) Will an Ives FS555 kick down holder keep the door from hitting the wall behind it?
No, and this trips people up. A kick down holder holds a door where you set it, it does not arrest the swing. With the arm flipped up the door swings free and the lever can still reach the drywall. If the real problem is the door striking the wall, you want a wall bumper or a floor stop, and plenty of openings carry both: a stop to catch the swing, a kick down holder to park the door open when the room is being loaded in and out.
3) What other kick down door holders work in place of the Ives FS555 5 inch holder?
Two kick down holders cover the same job as the Ives FS555 5 inch kick down door holder. The Orca Hardware 5.275 inch kick down door holder is a 40ST series unit with a door holder function, and the Delaney kick down door stop/holder is a kick down stop series unit supplied in satin chrome US26D. All three mount to the door face and kick down to hold the door open, so the choice comes down to length, finish, and whether the door schedule names a specific BHMA designation.
4) Can the Ives FS555 replace a kick down holder that is already on the door?
Usually, provided the opening fits its envelope: door-to-floor clearance of 3 inches or less, and 2-1/4 inches by 1-7/16 inches of flat door face free at the mounting point. Ives supplies a template for the mounting holes, so mark and drill to that pattern rather than assuming the old holes line up. If the existing holes land close but not exact, you are into filling and re-drilling, which is a lot easier on a wood door than a metal one.
5) What fasteners come with the Ives FS555, and will they work on a hollow metal door?
The FS555 ships with fasteners for wood applications, so on a wood or wood-core door you are covered out of the box. Mounting it on a hollow metal or aluminum door means supplying your own fasteners sized to the door skin, because wood screws will not hold in sheet metal. Sort that out before the installer is standing at the opening with a drill.
6) Does the Ives FS555 hold a door at one fixed angle, or wherever you leave it?
Wherever you drop it. Kick the arm down and the corrugated rubber shoe grips the floor at that point, so the door can be parked part way or all the way open depending on what the job needs that day. Lift the arm and the door swings free with the holder riding along on it. A stainless steel spring holds the arm in whichever position you put it.
7) What finishes does the Ives FS555 kick down holder come in for matching dark bronze or black door hardware?
Five choices: 622 matte black, 695 dark bronze, 691 bronze painted, 689 aluminum painted, and 706 brass painted. All painted or black rather than plated, which is normal for a part that lives at floor level and takes shoe traffic. For dark bronze storefront or entrance hardware, 695 is the match, and 689 aluminum painted is the one that reads closest to clear anodized aluminum.
8) Does the Ives FS555 meet ANSI/BHMA 156.16 for a hardware schedule or submittal?
Yes. The FS555 carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16 with function number L11381, which is the reference to put on the schedule or the submittal package. It is a commercial grade unit with an iron body and a stainless steel spring, which is what you want when you are standardizing holders across a school, a healthcare corridor, or a municipal building where these get kicked hundreds of times a week.
9) I need more reach than a 5 inch kick down holder gives me. What is the longer option?
The Orca Hardware kick down door holder measures 5.275 inches, giving slightly more length than the Ives FS555 5 inch kick down door holder. Measure the gap under the door before choosing: the Ives FS555 is built for door-to-floor clearances up to 3 inches, so on a door with a large undercut or a thick carpet transition the extra length on the Orca 40ST series unit is what closes the distance.
10) What wears out on an Ives FS555 kick down holder, and can maintenance service it in place?
The grey rubber shoe is the wear item. It is fastened on with screws and made to be swapped once the corrugated tread goes smooth, so a maintenance crew can bring holders back to grip across a run of doors without pulling the iron body off the door face or repainting. The spring is stainless steel and the body is iron.
