Ives FS45526 Kick Down Door Holder Bright Chrome

Product Description

The IVES FS45526 is a kick down door holder finished in bright chrome and constructed from solid brass. It mounts at the base of a door and holds the door in an open position when the foot-operated kick plate is pressed down to engage the floor stop. Releasing the door is done by lifting the lever with the foot, allowing the door to swing closed freely. This type of holder is installed by carpenters, door hardware installers, and general contractors in commercial and residential applications where a low-profile, hands-free hold-open solution is required.

The FS45526 is suited for interior doors in offices, schools, hospitals, retail spaces, and residential settings where frequent passage requires a reliable hold-open device. It is appropriate for standard interior door bottoms and finished floor surfaces. The bright chrome finish coordinates with other architectural hardware in chrome or polished metal finishes throughout a space.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter or door hardware installer using standard hand tools. Power down any automatic door operators or access control hardware associated with the door before beginning work. Mount the holder to the door face per the manufacturer template, ensuring the kick plate contacts the floor surface properly when engaged. Verify the floor surface is compatible with the holder tip material to avoid surface damage.
