Ives FS555285 Kick Down Door Holder 5 in Aluminum

Product Description

The IVES FS555285 is a kick down door holder designed to hold doors open in a fixed position without manual intervention. The unit features an aluminum finish and measures 5 inches in nominal length, making it suitable for standard commercial and residential door applications. A foot-operated kick mechanism engages a floor-mounted stop, holding the door securely in place. Release is equally foot-operated, allowing hands-free operation. Licensed contractors and general building tradespeople install this type of hardware during door hardware rough-in or finish stages of construction or renovation.

This door holder is appropriate for interior doors in light commercial and residential settings where a durable, low-profile hold-open solution is needed. The aluminum finish coordinates with common architectural hardware finishes used on entry and interior door sets. It is typically specified on hollow metal, wood, or composite doors where a floor stop-style holder is preferred over wall- or baseboard-mounted alternatives.

• Foot-operated kick down mechanism for hands-free door holding and release
• Aluminum finish suits standard architectural hardware specifications

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or general contractor during the finish stage of construction. The floor plate is secured to the finished floor surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate type. Ensure the door swing and floor clearance are verified before mounting to achieve proper engagement of the kick mechanism. Follow applicable local building codes for door hardware installation requirements.
