Ives FS4553 Kick Down Door Holder Solid Brass Bright Brass

Product Description

The IVES FS4553 is a solid brass kick down door holder designed to hold doors open in commercial and residential applications. The unit engages with a simple downward kick of the foot, deploying a spring-loaded steel hook that grips the floor surface and holds the door in position. Releasing the door is equally straightforward, requiring only a light upward kick to retract the holder. Finished in Bright Brass, the FS4553 suits interior doors where a clean, traditional hardware aesthetic is required. At 0.4 pounds, the unit is lightweight without sacrificing durability. Licensed tradespeople and general contractors install this type of hardware as part of door accessory packages.

The FS4553 is suited for interior door applications in both residential and light commercial settings. It is typically installed on wood or hollow-metal doors where a floor-mounted stop or hold-open device is needed. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with matching IVES door trim, hinges, and pulls, making it a practical choice for consistent architectural hardware specifications across a project.
