Ives IVE-R437 1/4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Ives R437 riser actually do, and do I need one?
The R437 is an aluminum riser that raises an Ives FS438 dome stop so it still works once carpet goes down. You need one when the dome stop is being installed over carpet or pad instead of hard flooring, and you pick the riser height to make up that difference. It is a spacer, not a door stop on its own, so it only makes sense if you already have or are ordering an FS438 dome stop.
2) What riser heights does the Ives R437 come in for carpet thickness?
Six heights: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1 inch. Measure the carpet and pad together at the stop location and take the height that brings the FS438 dome back to its working position. If you are running the same carpet spec through a whole floor, one height usually covers every opening, which makes it easy to order in bulk for a fleet of doors.
3) Will the R437 riser work with a dome stop other than the Ives FS438?
No. The R437 is made for the Ives FS438 dome stop and nothing else is stated as compatible. If you have a Delaney Dome Stop or an Orca 23LP dome floor stop already in the floor, this riser is not the part for it. For carpet on those, you are better off replacing the stop rather than trying to shim it.
4) Carpet is going in over an existing dome stop. Do I replace the stop or add a riser?
If the existing stop is an Ives FS438, keep it and add an R437 riser in the height that matches the carpet and pad. You reuse the stop and the existing floor anchor location. If the stop is a different make, or the door needs to be held open rather than just stopped, then you are replacing hardware instead, and a gooseneck style like the Orca 22HD door holder or the Emtek 2253 goose style stop mounts to the door rather than fighting the floor covering.
5) If there is no FS438 dome stop already in the floor, what should be used on a carpeted opening instead of the R437 riser?
The R437 is an aluminum riser that raises an existing FS438 dome stop above carpet pile, so it only makes sense where an FS438 is already set in the floor. On a new carpeted opening with nothing in the slab yet, a complete floor stop is the part to buy: the Orca Hardware 23LP Series dome floor stop is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip, and the Delaney Dome Door Stop is a dome stop in the same floor-mounted form. Both are bought as the whole stop rather than as a height component.
6) Can a universal floor bumper like the Deltana UFB4505 be used in place of the Ives R437?
No, they do different jobs. The Deltana UFB4505 is a 1-1/2 inch round universal floor door bumper in solid brass, and the UFBS138 is the 1-3/8 inch square version - each is a finished floor bumper that mounts on its own and contacts the door. The R437 is a riser only: an aluminum component packed with fasteners for heavy duty masonry and wood, used to lift an FS438 dome stop for carpet. Ordering a UFB4505 gets a complete bumper, not a spacer that stacks under an existing dome stop.
7) The door needs to be held open, not just stopped. What replaces a raised FS438 dome stop?
A riser and dome stop combination stops the door at the end of its swing; it does not hold it. For holding, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is listed with a product function of door holder and fits 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors, and the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop measures 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch and is rated heavy duty. The R437 riser itself is a light duty component for door hardware, sized to carpet height rather than to holding force.
8) Do I need to buy separate anchors to mount the Ives R437 into a concrete floor?
No extra anchors needed. The R437 ships with fasteners for heavy duty masonry and wood applications, so a concrete or wood subfloor is covered out of the box. What is not included is the FS438 dome stop itself, which is ordered separately.
9) Is the Ives R437 riser rated for commercial traffic?
It is a commercial-grade part, but classified light duty, which fits its job as a spacer under a dome stop rather than as an impact-taking holder. In a corridor or entry where doors get thrown hard, a heavy duty holder like the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop is the better call than a dome stop on a riser.
10) Does the Ives R437 meet ANSI/BHMA standards?
Yes, the R437 riser meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware. That is the reference to put on a submittal when a spec calls for BHMA-compliant floor stop hardware in a school, hospital, or government facility.
11) Is it better to add an R437 riser or to swap in a taller floor stop over carpet?
Both routes exist and they differ in what gets disturbed. The R437 riser comes in 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch heights, so an FS438 already anchored in the floor keeps its existing mounting and gains only the height the carpet requires. Replacing the stop means pulling the anchor and setting a new unit such as the Emtek 2251 half dome door stop or the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, which fixes the projection at whatever that unit provides.
12) What is used when the floor cannot be drilled at all for a carpeted opening?
A riser assumes a floor-anchored FS438 underneath it, and the R437 ships with fasteners for heavy duty masonry and wood, so it still relies on an anchor in the substrate. Where the slab is not to be drilled, the door-mounted route is the alternative: the Emtek 2253 goose style door stop and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop are gooseneck types, and the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop is the same style from Delaney. The SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop is another route away from a low dome sitting in traffic.
13) Will an aluminum riser corrode in a wet or wash-down area?
The R437 is aluminum, which resists corrosion and holds up in normal commercial interiors. For genuinely wet locations, solid brass floor bumpers such as the Deltana UFB4505 or the square UFBS138 are the material to look at instead.
14) For a decorative finish on a carpeted opening in a lobby, what alternatives exist to a raised aluminum dome stop?
The R437 is an aluminum riser paired with an FS438 dome stop, a commercial-duty combination sized for carpet height. Where the appearance matters more, Deltana offers solid brass floor bumpers: the UFBD3505 is a 3-1/2 inch round decorative universal floor bumper, and the UFBP4505 is a 1-5/8 inch round universal floor door bumper with a pattern cap. The Emtek 2257 is a 1-1/2 inch cylindrical floor bumper. Each of these is a complete floor-mounted unit rather than a height component for an existing stop.
