Ives FS18L Long Security Door Stop Black Finish

Product Description

The IVES FS18L is a long security stop designed to protect door frames, walls, and adjacent surfaces from impact damage caused by swinging doors. This floor or wall-mounted hardware accessory provides a physical barrier that prevents door handles, knobs, and locksets from contacting surrounding surfaces. At 6.1 inches in length, it offers extended coverage compared to standard doorstops, making it well suited for higher-traffic commercial and institutional environments. The black finish provides a clean, uniform appearance that coordinates with dark hardware sets. Installation is handled by locksmiths, carpenters, and general building contractors as part of door hardware packages.

The FS18L fits residential and light commercial door applications where standard-length stops provide insufficient protection. It is commonly installed in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-family residential settings. The security stop mounts to the floor or baseboard and is positioned to catch the door at a point that prevents hardware contact with walls or trim. Its extended length accommodates a wider range of door swing angles and hardware profiles.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith, door hardware installer, or finish carpenter. Power down any electronic door hardware in the immediate area before beginning work. Secure the stop to the floor or baseboard using appropriate fasteners for the substrate material. Verify door swing clearance and stop placement before final fastener torque to ensure proper door catch alignment.
