Ives IVE-WS449-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Ives WS449 wall stop be mounted on a drywall wall?
That is what the WS449 is built for. It comes with the fasteners for drywall and wood mounting, so a stud wall or wood blocking is covered out of the box with no separate anchor order. Ives builds this stop under the WS449/WS445 designation and the WS449 is the drywall/wood version of it. Land the anchors in a stud or in blocking wherever you can. This is a heavy duty commercial stop and the hook takes the pull of a held-open door, not just the impact of the door swinging into the tip, so the wall behind it is doing real work.
2) I need a wall stop for a concrete or CMU wall. Will the WS449 fasteners work?
No. The hardware in the WS449 box is the drywall and wood fastener set, and it will not anchor into concrete or block. The stop body is the same heavy duty commercial unit either way, so what changes is the anchor package: for masonry, order the Ives version of this wall stop supplied with masonry fasteners rather than the WS449. Getting this wrong is the usual reason a wall stop pulls out of a wall a year later.
3) Does the Ives WS449 hold a door open by itself, or does someone have to set it?
Manual in both directions. Somebody has to push the hook into the strike by hand to hold the door open, and somebody has to lift it back out by hand to release it. Nothing catches on its own when the door swings into the stop, so a door parked on the WS449 stays open until a person walks over and drops the hook. If you want a door that catches automatically every time it opens, this is the wrong device to specify.
4) Does the Ives WS449 wall stop need anything mounted on the door, or is it just the wall piece?
Two pieces. The wall unit carries the rubber tip and the hold-open hook; a strike measuring 1-1/2 x 13/16 x 13/16 inches goes on the door face, and the hook drops into that strike to hold the door. Set the strike height on the door so it lines up with the hook before you drill either component, because the hold-open only functions if those two meet. The stopping function works off the tip alone, so a door with no strike installed still gets stopped, it just will not hold.
5) The wall my door swings into sits farther back than a standard wall stop can reach. What wall-mounted stop covers that gap?
Look at the ABH RM Series and RMS Series wall door stops, both of which are offered with multiple length options so the body can be specified long enough to meet the door leaf where the wall sits back from the swing. The Ives WS449 is built to a fixed 2-1/4 inch by 3-11/16 inch by 5-3/4 inch envelope, so its reach is what it is; the ABH series approach lets you pick the length to the opening instead. Measure from the finished wall surface to the door face at the intended strike height before choosing a length.
6) Can I get the Ives WS449 wall stop to match the lever and hinge finish on the rest of my doors?
Eight finishes cover most commercial schedules: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 628 clear anodized aluminum. Order by the suffix on the part number, so WS449-US26D for 626 satin chrome, WS449-US10B for 613, WS449-US28 for 628. Substrate is brass or aluminum. For a building being standardized, pick the finish that matches the existing lever trim and carry it across every opening, since the stop sits at eye level on the wall and a mismatched one is the piece people notice.
7) What do I write on the hardware schedule for the Ives WS449, and does it meet ANSI/BHMA?
It is built to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, and the type number to put in the stop line of a schedule or submittal is L11351. That designation is what a spec writer or reviewer is looking for when the drawing calls for a wall stop with holder, and it is the fastest way to confirm the substitution on a project without a cut sheet argument. The WS449 is classed commercial and heavy duty, not a residential bumper.
8) What is the difference between the Ives WS449 and a plain wall bumper?
A bumper only stops the door. The WS449 stops it on a rubber tip and adds a hook plus a door-mounted strike so the door can be held open by hand. If all you need is wall protection where the lever hits the drywall, the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper or the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper handle that, and they install as a single piece on the wall. Where the door actually has to stand open, on a corridor, a break room, a receiving door, the hold-open is the whole reason to buy the WS449 instead.
9) The door does not reach the wall where I need a stop. Is there an alternative to the Ives WS449?
The WS449 is a fixed-size unit at 2-1/4 x 3-11/16 x 5-3/4 inches, so it cannot be extended to meet a door that stops short of the wall. For a wall set back behind the door's arc, the ABH RM Series and RMS Series wall door stops are offered in multiple length options, which is the fix for that gap. If the door does make contact with the wall, stay with the WS449, since it is the one that also gives you the manual hold-open.
10) I only need to keep the knob off the drywall. Do I need the hold-open version or is a plain bumper enough?
If the door never has to stay parked open, a wall bumper does the job. The Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper and the Emtek 2255 brass wall bumper with regular rosette are both bumpers: they take the impact at the wall and nothing mounts to the door. The Ives WS449 is a different animal because it pairs the wall unit with a 1-1/2 inch by 13/16 inch by 13/16 inch door strike, and the hook engages that strike to hold the door open until someone releases it by hand. Choosing the bumper means one component, one prep, and no door-face drilling.
11) Can I use a Delaney 2310011 hole plate as a substitute for a wall stop?
No. The Delaney 2310011 is a 2-1/8 inch hole plate metal cover, a cover plate rather than a stop, so it will not take the impact of a swinging door. Where it earns its place is on the same job: when a wall stop is relocated and leaves an opening in the drywall behind it, the 2-1/8 inch cover conceals it. For the stopping function, stay with a wall stop such as the Ives WS449 or an ABH RM Series unit.
12) A 5-3/4 inch wall stop projects too far into a tight corridor. What is lower profile?
The Ives WS449 body works to a 2-1/4 inch by 3-11/16 inch by 5-3/4 inch envelope, which is a real consideration in a narrow egress path. Shorter options in the same conversation are the Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper, the Delaney 40210X 3 inch spring door stop, and the Delaney 4021XX 3 inch HD rigid door stop. Confirm the shorter unit still contacts the door leaf and not the lever or push plate before you commit to it.
13) The spec calls for a commercial heavy duty wall stop with a hold-open. Which of these meets that and which are stop-only?
The Ives WS449 is the one specified as commercial and heavy duty to ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11351, with brass or aluminum substrate and a hook that engages a door-mounted strike for manual hold-open. The ABH RM Series and RMS Series are wall door stops in multiple lengths, and the Emtek 2255 and Delaney 2-1/4 inch concave wall bumper are wall bumpers, so those handle the stopping and wall protection side of the spec. If the drawing calls out hold-open at the opening, the WS449 is the part that answers it.
14) Will the Ives WS449 stand up to a heavy commercial door slamming into it every day?
It is classed heavy duty and commercial, with a brass or aluminum substrate rather than a stamped residential body, and it is built to ANSI/BHMA 156.16. That is the grade of stop that belongs on office corridors, schools, healthcare, retail and warehouse doors where the door gets thrown open all day. The wall behind it matters as much as the stop: on drywall, get the included fasteners into a stud or blocking, because a heavy duty stop anchored into bare board will take the board with it.
15) The rubber tips on our wall stops get chewed up. Can the tip on the Ives WS449 be replaced?
Yes. The black rubber tip is a replaceable part, so a flattened or torn tip is a swap rather than pulling the whole stop off the wall and patching and re-anchoring drywall. The tip is non-marring, which is what keeps the door face, the lever and the wall from getting marked every time the door hits. On a portfolio where the same stop is on hundreds of openings, that replaceable tip is the difference between a maintenance item and a capital one.
16) How much clear wall does the Ives WS449 need to mount?
The stop body measures 2-1/4 x 3-11/16 x 5-3/4 inches and the door strike is 1-1/2 x 13/16 x 13/16 inches. Hold a tape at the point where the door edge or lever lands on the wall: you want that whole footprint on flat surface, with no baseboard, chair rail or casing running through where the anchors go, and the same clear run on the door face for the strike. Tight spots next to casing are where these get mounted crooked and then miss the strike.
17) What is the difference between the ABH RM and RMS series wall stops?
They are two separate ABH series, the RM Series and the RMS Series, and both are wall door stops offered with multiple length options. Because the series designations differ, order by the full series and length combination rather than assuming an RM part number and an RMS part number of the same length are interchangeable on the same prep.
18) Delaney spring stop or Delaney rigid stop, what is the difference for a door that gets thrown open hard?
The Delaney 40210X is a 3 inch spring door stop, so the body flexes as the door meets it. The Delaney 4021XX is a 3 inch HD rigid door stop, designated heavy duty in the rigid series, so it takes the door on a fixed body with no give. For an opening under commercial traffic, the Ives WS449 is the heavy duty wall-mounted route and carries ANSI/BHMA 156.16, L11351. Match the choice to whether you want the stop to absorb the swing or arrest it.
19) My building is standardized on brass door hardware. Which wall stops will match?
The Ives WS449 is offered in 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass, so it can be ordered to a brass standard. The Emtek 2255 is a brass wall bumper with a regular rosette, which puts it in the same material family with a round rosette trim at the wall. Decide by whether the opening needs the hold-open function or only wall protection, then order the finish to match the rest of the fleet.
