Rockwood 473 Door Stop with Keeper, Plastic and Lead Anchor Fasteners

A keeper is the second piece: the Rockwood 473 ships as a floor-mounted stop plus a 1 inch wide by 1-3/4 inch high keeper that mounts on the door itself, so the door doesn't just stop, it parks. Push the door to the stop and the keeper engages to hold it open. A plain bumper like the Deltana UFB4505 or the Emtek 2254 only arrests the swing, and the door drifts back. If you want a door held open at the wall, buy the stop-with-keeper. If you only need to protect the wall or the trim from the lever, the plain bumper is the simpler part.

The 473 stands 3-3/4 inches high on a 2-1/2 inch diameter base. That height is what matters on your opening: the stop has to be taller than the gap under the door, or the door sweeps straight over the top of it. Measure the door-to-floor clearance at the point on the floor where the stop will land. If your undercut is large (carpet removed, an old opening with a big gap), a fixed-height stop this size can still be too short and you want an adjustable-clearance stop such as the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder instead.

Fasteners are in the box. The stop comes with a 5/16-18 x 1-3/4 inch stud, an anchor, a #8 x 3/4 inch oval head sheet metal screw and a plastic anchor. The keeper comes with two #12 x 1-1/4 inch flat head wood screws and two plastic anchors. That set covers a concrete or masonry floor via the stud and anchor, and a wood door for the keeper via the wood screws. Nothing else is required to install it on a standard interior opening.

It's built for that traffic. Cast brass body with a rubber bumper, rated commercial, and it carries ANSI A156.16, L01371. A156.16 is the BHMA standard for auxiliary door hardware, which is the standard a specifier writes floor stops to. Rockwood hardware of this type is normally specified on institutional buildings, offices, retail, educational, detention, sports facilities and hospitality. For a facility standardizing across many openings, the L01371 designation is what you put on the schedule.

The Ives FS13 is the nearest match in kind: a heavy duty brass floor dome stop with a replaceable rubber bumper. The Rockwood 473 is cast brass with a rubber bumper, 2-1/2 inch diameter and 3-3/4 inch height, and meets ANSI A156.16, L01371. The Ives FS17 is the other heavy duty brass floor dome stop in the same family, carrying a rubber bumper rather than a replaceable one. If the bumper being field replaceable matters for a fleet of doors, FS13 is the one that states it.

The Rockwood 473 ships with a keeper that mounts to the door, taking 2 each #12 x 1-1/4 inch FH wood screws and 2 plastic anchors, and the keeper measures 1 inch wide by 1-3/4 inch high. If nothing can be fastened into the door face, the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop is listed as a door holder and works against a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch. The Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is a heavy duty option with adjustable door-to-floor clearance. The SOSS MDH is a magnetic door holder and stop at 3-5/16 inch by 1-3/4 inch, holding by magnet against a strike on the door.

The Rockwood 473 is a floor stop with a keeper, so it both stops the door and catches it open. For a stop-only opening, the Orca Hardware 23LP Series is a low rise dome floor stop with a gray tip and is listed as door stop function. The Deltana UFB4505 is a 1-1/2 inch round universal floor door bumper in solid brass, and the Deltana UFBS138 is the square version at 1-3/8 inch. The Emtek 2251 half dome door stop and the Emtek 2254 floor door bumper at 1-3/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch are the same idea in the Emtek line. None of these carry a keeper, so the door will not latch open.

Yes. The Rockwood 473 is a commercial floor stop carrying ANSI A156.16, L01371, which is the number to write against on a hardware schedule. Among the peers, the Ives FS13, FS17, FS18S/FS18L and FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 are all classed heavy duty, and the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop is heavy duty as well. If the drawing calls the ANSI number rather than a duty class, the 473 is the item in this group that states it.

Not as it ships. The standard screw pack isn't specified for exterior use. Rockwood offers exterior screw packs, stainless steel plated to match the finish, ordered with the EXP suffix. Specify that suffix for an entry vestibule, a pool deck, a parking level, or anywhere the fasteners will see moisture. The cast brass body and rubber bumper are unchanged, only the fastener pack.

Four finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 622 matte black and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so if your levers, hinges and pulls are already specified by number the stop matches without guesswork. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial default and pairs with 626 lever sets; 622 matte black suits the current dark-hardware packages; 613 goes with oil-rubbed bronze residential and hospitality work. Order the keeper finish with the stop, they ship together.

It comes down to where the door swings and what's behind it. A dome-style floor stop like the Rockwood 473 mounts on the floor in the door's path, so it needs floor you can drill and it does put a 3-3/4 inch obstruction in the walking line, which matters in a corridor or an ADA-conscious path of travel. A goose neck stop like the Orca Hardware 22HD Series or the Emtek 2253 reaches up from the floor to catch the door higher, which suits doors with a large undercut or where you want the contact point away from the door bottom. Where floor mounting is out entirely, a wall stop is the alternative. The 473's advantage over a plain goose neck is the keeper, which holds the door open rather than only stopping it.

Drop to a straight dome stop. The Ives FS13 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop with replaceable rubber bumper and the Ives FS17 heavy-duty brass floor dome stop are both heavy duty brass units in the same commercial class as the 473, without the door-mounted keeper. The FS13's bumper is replaceable, which is worth having on a high-cycle opening where the rubber is the wear part. On the residential and decorative side, the Deltana UFBD3505 3-1/2 inch decorative solid brass floor bumper or the Emtek 2251 half dome stop cover the same job with a different look. None of those hold the door open, so if a keeper was the reason you were buying, stay on the 473.

No. Handing doesn't apply. The 473 is a floor-mounted stop with a keeper that mounts on the door face, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand opening. What you do need before you drill is the swing arc: mark where the door edge lands at the open position you want, allowing room for the 2-1/2 inch base, and set the keeper on the door to line up with the stop at that point.

No. The 473 anchors into the floor, using a 5/16-18 x 1-3/4 inch stud and anchor for masonry or concrete, so a slab you cannot penetrate rules it out. Over post-tension slab, radiant tubing, waterproof membrane or finished terrazzo where drilling isn't allowed, go to a wall-mounted stop or a magnetic holder such as the SOSS MDH magnetic door holder and stop, which catches the door with a plate on the door and a magnet on the wall or floor.

No. The Rockwood 473 is a 2-1/2 inch diameter, 3-3/4 inch high cast brass floor stop with a rubber bumper and a door-mounted keeper. A goose neck stop rises on a curved post to meet the door higher up: the Delaney Gooseneck Floor Door Stop, the Emtek 2253 goose style door stop, and the Orca Hardware 22HD Series goose neck floor stop with black tip are the goose neck items in the set. The Orca 22HD is listed as a door holder for 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch doors. Goose neck and dome stops contact the door at different heights, so they are not drop-in swaps for one another on an existing hole pattern.

The Ives FS18S/FS18L is a security floor stop rated heavy duty, built for openings where a standard dome stop is a target. The Rockwood 473 is a commercial cast brass stop meeting ANSI A156.16, L01371, and Rockwood hardware is used across institutional buildings, detention, education, and hospitality. For a secure opening that still needs a hold-open, the Ives FS40 / FS41 / FS42 / FS43 automatic floor stop and holder is the heavy duty holder in the same line.

The Rockwood 473 base is 2-1/2 inches in diameter. Among the Deltana universal floor bumpers, the UFBD3505 decorative round is 3-1/2 inches, the UFBP4505 pattern cap round is 1-5/8 inches, the UFB4505 round is 1-1/2 inches, and the UFBS138 square is 1-3/8 inches, all solid brass. The Delaney Dome Door Stop and the Emtek 2251 half dome are the dome-profile items from those two brands. Footprint decides how much existing floor finish the base conceals when you are replacing an older stop.

The Rockwood 473 comes in 626 satin chrome, 622 matte black, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, and 605 bright brass, so a mixed-finish building can be standardized on one model and one ANSI number, A156.16 L01371. The Deltana UFB4505, UFBD3505, UFBP4505 and UFBS138 universal floor bumpers are solid brass, and the Ives FS13 and FS17 floor dome stops are brass. Base metal is not the same thing as plated finish, so confirm the finish code separately when matching to existing lever and hinge finishes.

The keeper measures 1 inch wide by 1-3/4 inch high and fastens with two #12 x 1-1/4 inch flat head wood screws. One inch of width is a small footprint, so it lands on the door face near the bottom rail without stile clearance being an issue on wood or hollow metal doors. Note the supplied screws are wood screws with plastic anchors, sized for wood doors and drywall-type substrates. On a hollow metal door you'll want your own sheet metal screws for the keeper.
