Ives WS4026D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ives WS40 hold a door open by itself, or do you have to kick it down?
Hands free. The WS40 wall holder uses a roller that rides up and seats itself on a strike mounted to the door face, so the door catches and holds when it swings into the wall. There is no foot-operated lever to flip down. Two pieces get installed: the holder on the wall and the strike on the door, so the door has to be prepped as well as the wall.
2) How far off the wall does the Ives WS40 sit, and how much room does the strike need on the door?
The wall holder body measures 2-1/4 x 2 x 2-1/2 inches and the door strike measures 2 x 2-1/16 x 3/4 inches. Those numbers matter for two things: the holder has to project far enough off the wall to catch the door before the lever or push bar hits the wall, and the strike needs a flat area on the door face clear of glass stops, kick plates and pull hardware. On a door with heavy face hardware, hold the strike location up on the door and check it clears before drilling.
3) Can I put an Ives WS40 wall holder on a heavy exterior or fire door that gets slammed all day?
No. The WS40 is rated light duty, and it is a holder, not a heavy stop. On a high-traffic exterior opening or a heavy solid core door with a closer driving it, a light duty wall holder is the wrong part. For that opening use a heavy duty rigid wall stop, or a floor stop that takes the impact at the bottom of the door rather than at lever height. The WS40 suits interior commercial openings where you want the door to park itself open and the impact is modest.
4) Will an Ives WS40 mount to a drywall wall, or do I need a block or masonry anchor?
Both are covered out of the box. The WS40 ships with fasteners for light duty masonry and for drywall/wood applications, so a CMU corridor wall and a stud-framed office wall are both handled without a separate anchor order. On drywall, land the holder on solid backing where you can, since anything that holds a door open is taking repeated pull.
5) Does the Ives WS40 meet ANSI/BHMA for a spec job?
Yes. The WS40 meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16, certified L11291 in brass and L31291 in aluminum. If the drawing calls out a BHMA number for auxiliary hardware, those are the two designations to submit, and which one applies depends on the substrate of the finish you order.
6) What if the wall is too far from the door for a WS40 to reach?
Then you need a stop with a longer standoff, not this one. The WS40 body is only 2-1/4 x 2 x 2-1/2 inches, so it reaches a wall roughly that far behind the open door. Where the base or the swing puts the wall further out, the ABH RM Series or RMS Series wall door stops come in multiple length options and are the ones to look at. Measure from the finished wall to the point on the door face where the stop must contact before the lever does.
7) What is the difference between an Ives WS40 wall holder and a plain wall bumper like the Emtek 2255 or Delaney 40270?
They do two different jobs. The WS40 is an automatic wall holder: a roller mechanism rides up and seats itself on a door-mounted strike so the door stays held open without anyone stooping to set a catch, and its heavy duty bumper pad deadens sound and shock at the same time. The Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper and the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper are bumpers only - they cushion the door against the wall and let it swing back. If the requirement on the drawing is hold-open, a bumper will not satisfy it no matter how it is mounted. If the requirement is only wall protection, the bumper is the simpler part and there is no strike to install on the door face.
8) What finishes does the Ives WS40 automatic wall holder come in?
Four: 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 626 satin chrome, 628 clear anodized aluminum, and 606 satin brass. The 628 is the aluminum substrate version; the other three are brass substrate. That split matters on a submittal, because the BHMA certification number differs by substrate (L11291 brass, L31291 aluminum). For matching a building already standardized on 626 lever trim, order the WS4026D.
9) Wall holder or plain wall bumper, which do I actually need?
Different jobs. A holder like the Ives WS40 catches and keeps the door open; a bumper only stops it and lets it swing back. If all you need is to protect the wall from a lever, a simple wall bumper is less hardware and no door prep, for example the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper or the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette. Choose the WS40 when you want the door to stay parked open, for a loading corridor, a classroom on a warm day, or a mechanical room you are working in and out of.
10) I am replacing existing wall holders across a building. Does the WS40 cover the old holes?
Not reliably. The WS40 is a two-piece holder, wall body at 2-1/4 x 2 x 2-1/2 inches and door strike at 2 x 2-1/16 x 3/4 inches, and it goes in from its own template rather than to a standard hole pattern. On a retrofit, plan on new holes in both the wall and the door face. If old drywall holes need to disappear behind the new plate, a cover plate like the Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover handles the wall side.
11) Do I need to order the strike separately for an Ives WS40?
No. The strike is part of the WS40 assembly, listed at 2 x 2-1/16 x 3/4 inches, and the mounting fasteners for masonry and drywall/wood come in the box too. The only thing to sort out on site is the layout, since both halves have to line up so the roller seats on the strike through the door's full swing.
12) Is a Delaney 3 inch spring door stop or rigid door stop an equivalent to the Ives WS40?
No - they mount and behave differently. The Delaney 40210 is a 3 inch spring door stop and the Delaney 4021XX is a 3 inch heavy duty rigid door stop; both are base or door mounted stops that arrest the swing at a fixed point. The WS40 is wall mounted and works as a pair, holder on the wall and a 2 inch by 2-1/16 inch by 3/4 inch strike on the door, with the roller seating on the strike to hold the door open. Choose the Delaney spring or rigid stop when the goal is simply to keep a knob or lever off the wall with a single fastened part. Choose the WS40 when the door needs to stay open on its own and you can prep both the wall and the door face.
13) For a spec that calls out ANSI/BHMA certification, which of these wall-mounted options can I submit?
The Ives WS40 carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16 with L11291 for the brass substrate and L31291 for the aluminum substrate, and it is rated light duty for commercial use, so it can be submitted directly against a 156.16 line item. Among the alternatives, the ABH RM Series and RMS Series wall door stops and the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper are the wall-mounted peers, but their certification detail is a question for the submittal package rather than something to assume from the series designation. When a facility standard names 156.16 and a hold-open function together, the WS40 is the part that answers both in one line.
14) I am removing an old wall holder and only want to patch the door - do I still need a WS40 strike?
Only if you are keeping a hold-open. The WS40 works as a two-piece set, the wall holder plus a strike screwed to the door face, and it ships with fasteners for light duty masonry and for drywall or wood, so both halves go in with what is in the box. If you are abandoning the hold-open entirely, the door-side hole left by the old strike is what the Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover is for, and a bumper such as the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper handles the wall protection on its own.
15) Will the WS40 mark up my wall or the door finish?
It uses rubber at the contact points, including a heavy duty bumper pad that deadens sound and shock, and non-marring rubber components to protect wall, molding and door finishes. That is the practical difference from a bare metal stop in a corridor with painted drywall or wood base: the pad absorbs the hit instead of transferring it.
16) Is the Ives WS40 a residential door stop or a commercial one?
Commercial. It is classified for commercial use and certified to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, which is the reason it turns up on office, school, healthcare and multi-tenant specs rather than in a hardware store two-pack. For a house or an apartment turn where nobody is reading a BHMA number, a spring or rigid door stop such as the Delaney 3 inch spring door stop or the Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop does the job with less hardware.
17) What is the closest brass wall-mounted alternative to a WS40 in 606 satin brass?
The WS40 is built on a brass or aluminum substrate and comes in 606 satin brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, and 626 satin chrome on brass, with 628 clear anodized on the aluminum substrate. The nearest brass wall-mounted peer is the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette. It matches on material and wall mounting but not on function - it is a bumper, so the door rests against it and swings back rather than being held. Keep the WS40 where the opening needs to stand open; use the 2255 where a brass wall contact point is all the job calls for.
