Ives IVE-WS445-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives WS445 wall stop mount into a concrete or block wall?
That is exactly what the WS445 is packed for. It ships with fasteners for drywall/wood or masonry applications, so the heavy duty masonry anchors come in the box rather than being sourced separately. Drill with a masonry bit sized to the supplied anchors. If the stop is landing on hollow drywall between studs, you still need proper blocking or a wall anchor rated for the impact of a door being thrown open.
2) What is the difference between a plain wall bumper and the Ives WS445 hold-open wall stop?
A plain bumper only stops the door. The WS445 does both: it works as a stop, and when the hook is engaged in the strike it holds the door open until someone manually releases it. That means a second piece of hardware, a strike measuring 1-1/2 x 13/16 x 13/16 inches, gets mounted on the door edge. If you only need to protect the wall and never need the door held, a simple concave bumper like the Delaney 2-1/4 inch wall bumper or the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper is less hardware on the door and nothing to catch on.
3) Can the WS445 hold-open be used on a fire rated door?
No. The WS445 is a manual hold-open, engaged and released by hand, with no release mechanism tied to the fire alarm. A fire door has to be self-closing and self-latching, so any hold-open on it must be an electromagnetic or fusible-link device that drops the door on alarm. Use the WS445 on non-rated openings, corridor doors, and offices where you just want the door parked open.
4) Does the Ives WS445 meet ANSI/BHMA for a commercial specification?
Yes. The WS445 is built to ANSI/BHMA 156.16 and carries the L11351 type number, and it is classed heavy duty for commercial use. That combination is what a spec writer or facilities buyer needs to put it on a schedule for schools, healthcare, and government work where hardware has to be called out by BHMA type.
5) The wall behind the door is out of reach - what do I use instead of an Ives WS445?
When there is no solid wall at the right height and distance, move the stop to the door or the floor instead. The Delaney 3 inch HD rigid door stop and the Delaney 3 inch spring door stop are both base-mounted units that take the impact away from the wall entirely. Understand the trade before you switch: neither is a hold-open, so a door that has to stay parked open will need a separate holder, and the WS445 hold-open function is lost. If the wall is masonry and simply needs the right anchors, the WS445 is packed with fasteners for drywall/wood or masonry applications and can stay in the spec.
6) What is the closest wall-mounted equivalent to the Ives WS445 if I need a longer projection to reach the door?
Look at the ABH RM Series wall door stops, which are offered in multiple length options, and the ABH RMS Series, also offered in multiple lengths. Both are wall-mounted stops like the WS445, so the mounting location is the same; the difference is that the ABH series lets you pick the projection to suit how far the door swings off the wall, while the WS445 is a fixed unit measuring 2-1/4 inch x 3-11/16 inch x 5-3/4 inch. One thing to carry over in the comparison: the WS445 adds a manual hold-open, engaged by dropping the hook into the strike, which a plain length-selectable wall stop does not provide.
7) I just need to keep the knob from hitting the drywall - is there something simpler than the Ives WS445?
Yes. If the only job is protecting the wall, a plain wall bumper does it: the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper and the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper are both single-piece cushioned bumpers with no hold-open mechanism and no door strike to install. The WS445 is a two-part assembly - the wall unit plus a 1-1/2 inch x 13/16 inch x 13/16 inch door strike - because it also has to catch and hold the door open. Choose the bumper when you want stop-only, and the WS445 when someone needs the door parked open for carts, deliveries, or move-ins.
8) What finishes does the Ives WS445 wall stop come in?
Seven finishes, and they matter because the stop should disappear next to the lever and hinges already on the opening: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome. For a building standardized on 626 satin chrome, which is the common commercial finish, order WS445-US26D and it will match the rest of the door hardware.
9) Will the rubber tip on an Ives WS445 mark up my painted wall, and can it be replaced when it wears out?
The tip is black non-marring rubber, so it will not scuff the paint or the door finish where it makes contact, and it is replaceable. That is the part that fails first on a high-traffic opening, so on a fleet of doors you can swap tips instead of pulling and re-anchoring the whole stop out of the masonry.
10) Is the Ives WS445 metal or plastic, and will it hold up in a school or hospital corridor?
The substrate is brass or aluminum, not plastic, and it is rated heavy duty for commercial service. That is the construction you want behind a door that gets kicked open all day in a school, hospital, warehouse, or apartment corridor. The weak point in those settings is the wall, not the stop, which is why the masonry fastener pack matters more than the body material.
11) Do I need to cut into the door to install the WS445 hold-open stop?
No mortising. The WS445 strike is a small surface-applied piece, 1-1/2 x 13/16 x 13/16 inches, that fastens to the door where the hook catches it, and the body anchors to the wall. Set the strike position last so it lines up with the hook, then test the engage and release before you call it done.
12) Is the WS445 the same as the WS449?
The two are the same wall stop with hold-open, catalogued together as WS449/WS445. The difference is the fastener pack: order the WS445 when you are anchoring into masonry, since it comes packed with the heavy duty masonry fasteners. Same body, same 2-1/4 x 3-11/16 x 5-3/4 inch footprint, same finish range.
13) Can I use a wall stop instead of a floor stop on a door that opens into an open room?
Only if there is a wall where the door lands. A wall stop like the WS445 needs solid backing at the strike point within its 5-3/4 inch reach; if the door swings into open floor or past the end of a wall, there is nothing to anchor to and you need a floor stop or a floor-mounted holder. A hinge-pin or spring stop such as the Delaney 3 inch spring door stop or the 3 inch HD rigid door stop is the other option when there is no usable wall.
14) Is a spring door stop an acceptable substitute for the Ives WS445 in a commercial building?
They are not the same class of device. The Delaney 3 inch spring door stop is a flexing base-mounted stop; the Ives WS445 is a heavy duty commercial wall stop meeting ANSI/BHMA 156.16 under function L11351, with a brass or aluminum substrate. If the opening was specified to a BHMA function number - common in healthcare, education, and government work - a spring stop will not satisfy it. For a stairwell, corridor, or high-traffic entry door where the specification calls out the L11351 function or heavy duty commercial service, stay with the WS445 or another wall stop rated for that duty.
15) We standardize hardware finishes across a facility - how does the Ives WS445 compare to the Emtek 2255 for matching?
The WS445 covers a broad finish range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, and 626 satin chrome, so it can be matched to most existing lever and hinge finishes in a building. The Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper, a residential-scale look that suits a decorative opening. For a fleet standardization program where every door gets the same stop in the same BHMA finish number, the WS445 is the one to schedule.
16) Someone ordered a Delaney hole plate cover instead of an Ives WS445 - will it work?
No, those are unrelated parts. The Delaney 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover is a blank plate that conceals an unused bore in a door face; it stops nothing and holds nothing. The Ives WS445 is a wall-mounted stop with a hold-open hook and a matching door strike. If the door already has a hole from a removed stop or lock, order the plate as well as the WS445 - one covers the old prep, the other does the work.

    Posted by Mario Flores on Sep 13th 2025

    Loved this as a door stop! It came with my choice of screws for masonry or wood, and the masonry came in clutch. Dimensional size on drawing was accurate to! Finish looks excellent!
