Ives IVE-WS401/402-CVX-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives WS401/402CVX wall bumper mount on a drywall wall, or do I need to hit a stud?

Fasteners for both drywall and wood applications ship in the box with the WS401/402CVX, so you can mount it into a stud or into drywall with what's supplied. Best practice is still to land it on blocking or a stud where the door swing is heavy, but you aren't buying anchors separately to get it on the wall.

2) How far off the wall does the Ives WS401/402CVX convex wall bumper stand?

The cast brass convex wall bumper measures 2-1/2 x 3/8 x 1 inches. That's a low-profile stop, so it catches the door face close to the wall rather than pushing it well clear. If your door hardware projects further than the bumper does, a lever or a pull will contact the wall before the bumper does, and you want a floor stop or a longer wall stop instead.

3) What do I use if a low-profile wall bumper won't reach my door because the baseboard or trim is in the way?

When the door face can't reach a flush wall bumper, a projecting wall stop is the fix. ZenSupply carries the ABH RM Series and RMS Series wall door stops with multiple length options, which stand off the wall far enough to clear base trim. The Ives WS401/402CVX at 2-1/2 x 3/8 x 1 inches is meant for a flat wall surface where the door face makes direct contact.

4) Is the Ives WS401/402CVX rated for a commercial building or is it a residential-grade stop?

Commercial, heavy duty, and it meets ANSI/BHMA 156.16 under the L12101 designation. That's the spec line an institutional or MRO buyer needs when a door hardware schedule calls out a BHMA-compliant wall stop, so it will satisfy a commercial submittal rather than just a residential replacement.

5) Do tenants pull the rubber out of these wall bumpers? Anything that stops that?

That's exactly what the CVX version addresses. A retainer ring locks the grey rubber bumper into the cast brass body so it can't be picked or pried out by hand. In multi-family, schools, and other high-traffic openings where loose bumper tips walk off, that retainer is the difference between a stop that stays complete and one you re-tip every year.

6) What should be used instead of a cast brass wall bumper when the wall behind the door has no solid backing at door-knob height?

A wall bumper such as the Ives WS401/402CVX mounts to the wall itself and ships with fasteners for drywall and wood applications, so it needs the wall to take the impact. Where there is no backing to anchor into, a floor- or base-mounted stop is the substitute: the Delaney 3" HD Rigid Door Stop or the Delaney 3" Spring Door Stop take the door at the base instead of at the wall. The rigid version holds a fixed post; the spring version flexes on contact.

7) Is the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper an equivalent substitute for the Ives WS401/402CVX?

Both are brass wall bumpers, and the Ives WS401/402CVX body is cast brass. The difference is the trim and the bumper retention: the Emtek 2255 is supplied with a regular rosette, while the WS401/402CVX uses a retainer ring that makes the grey rubber bumper tamper resistant and is rated to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L12101 for heavy duty commercial use. For a residential or decorative opening the Emtek reads as the match; where a specification calls out the ANSI/BHMA number or a tamper-resistant bumper, the WS401/402CVX is the one that carries it.

8) What finishes does the Ives WS401/402CVX wall bumper come in, and can I match the lever finish on my other doors?

Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. Those are the standard BHMA finish numbers, so if your locksets and hinges are specified in 626 or 613, order the bumper in the same number and it lines up with the rest of the opening.

9) Is a wall bumper enough, or do I need a door stop that also holds the door open?

A wall bumper only arrests the swing, it doesn't hold. The Ives WS401/402CVX stops the door and protects the wall finish with a grey non-marring rubber tip, nothing more. If you need the door to stay open, that's a separate hold-open device. And where the wall behind the door isn't sound enough to anchor into, a floor-mounted stop is the alternative; ZenSupply carries Delaney 3 inch rigid and 3 inch spring door stops for that.

10) Is the Ives wall bumper solid brass or brass-plated?

Cast brass body, not a plated stamping. The substrate is brass through the part, with the finish applied over it, which is why it holds up in exterior corridors and wet-clean environments like healthcare where a plated zinc stop chalks and pits. The grey rubber is the only non-metal component and it's held by the retainer ring.

11) A wall bumper was removed from a wall and left a hole. Is a wall bumper the right part to cover it?

No. A wall bumper such as the Ives WS401/402CVX is an impact part -- a cast brass body with a rubber face that the door strikes -- and it mounts on its own fastener pattern rather than over an existing opening. To close out a leftover hole, the Delaney 2-1/8" Hole Plate Metal Cover is the cover plate for that job. Use the cover for the abandoned location and the bumper at the new strike point.

12) For standardizing door stops across a facility, what is the difference between a wall bumper and a spring door stop?

The Ives WS401/402CVX is a wall-mounted bumper: it fastens to the wall at the point of door contact and is rated commercial, heavy duty under ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L12101. The Delaney 3" Spring Door Stop is a base-mounted spring stop that fastens to the door or baseboard instead. Facilities usually standardize on wall bumpers where a solid wall is available behind every door, and fall back to base-mounted stops only at openings where the wall cannot be used, so the two are typically specified together rather than one replacing the other.

13) Which Ives part number do I order for a satin chrome wall bumper?

Satin chrome, finish 626, is WS401/402-CVX-US26D. The base model is WS401/402-CVX and the finish suffix follows the old US finish coding, so 605 bright brass is US3, 606 satin brass is US4, 612 satin bronze is US10, 613 oil-rubbed is US10B, 619 satin nickel is US15, and 625 bright chrome is US26.

14) Can I swap an Ives WS401/402CVX in where an existing wall bumper is already mounted?

In most cases you're working off the same wall location, but the WS401/402CVX has its own fastener pattern and ships with its own drywall and wood fasteners, so plan on drilling for it rather than reusing the old hole. If the previous stop left a hole in the finish that doesn't get covered, ZenSupply carries a Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover to close it off.
