Deltana DHK7U15 Heavy Duty Kickdown Holder Satin Nickel

Product Description

The DELTANA DHK7U15 is a heavy-duty kickdown door holder designed to hold open doors in commercial and residential applications. The unit features a foot-operated kickdown mechanism that locks the door in the open position and releases with a simple kick, keeping hands free during high-traffic or material-handling situations. Finished in satin nickel, it provides a clean, low-reflectance appearance suited to both modern and traditional architectural hardware schemes. The holder measures 7 inches in working length and ships as a single unit. Licensed contractors and finish carpenters are the typical installers for this type of hardware.

The DHK7U15 is suited for interior door applications in light commercial buildings, offices, and residential settings where a floor-mounted hold-open device is required. It is commonly specified on hollow-core and solid-core wood doors, and on metal doors with a suitable floor substrate for fastening. The satin nickel finish coordinates with matching DELTANA hinge and trim lines for consistent architectural hardware packages.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or licensed general contractor. Power down any door automation equipment before servicing the door assembly. Fasteners should be appropriate for the floor substrate material — concrete anchors for hard floors, wood screws for wood subfloor. Follow local building codes regarding hold-open hardware in rated fire door assemblies, as kickdown holders are generally not permitted on fire-rated doors.
