Ives FS45235 Kick Down Door Holder Solid Brass

Product Description

The IVES FS45235 is a kick down door holder manufactured from solid brass with a Bright Brass finish. It mounts to the base of a door and holds it open using a foot-operated drop mechanism that contacts the floor. When the holder is kicked down, the rubber tip engages the floor surface and holds the door in position. To release, a slight kick lifts the arm and allows the door to close freely. At 5 inches in length, this unit is suited for standard interior door applications in residential and light commercial construction. Installers include carpenters, door hardware technicians, and general contractors performing finish hardware installation.

This door holder is intended for interior doors where a low-profile, floor-mounted hold-open solution is required. It is well suited for residential hallways, office interiors, and light commercial spaces where frequent door traffic makes a permanent hold-open desirable. The solid brass construction and Bright Brass finish allow it to coordinate with other architectural hardware on the same door. It is sold individually and available in case quantities of 10 for larger projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters or finish hardware technicians during door hardware trim-out. The holder mounts to the face of the door at the base using the provided or standard fasteners. Ensure the door is in the desired open position before marking the floor contact point. No special tools or trade licenses are required, but fastener selection should account for door material and thickness.
