Ives WS45X US26D Automatic Wall Holder Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES WS45X US26D is an automatic wall holder designed to hold doors open in a fixed position against a wall-mounted stop. The unit engages automatically when the door swings to the open position, securing it in place without manual intervention. Released by a light kick or pull on the door, it returns the door to normal operation. This type of hardware is standard in commercial and light commercial construction where hands-free door holding is required. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, low-glare appearance suited to a wide range of interior environments.

The WS45X US26D is installed on masonry walls in corridor, office, and institutional settings where a floor-mounted holder is not practical or permitted. The masonry-mount configuration allows direct attachment to concrete or block walls without a separate wood blocking substrate. It is typically specified by finish carpenters, door hardware installers, or general contractors on commercial build-outs and renovations.

Key Features

• Automatic engagement holds door open on contact without manual locking
• Masonry mounting configuration for direct installation into concrete or block walls
• Satin chrome (US26D) finish for a clean, matte appearance resistant to fingerprints
• Light-force release returns door to free-swing operation
• Compact wall-mount profile keeps the floor clear

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wall holder for commercial and light commercial door hardware applications requiring masonry wall mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified door hardware installer or finish carpenter. Proper masonry anchors rated for the wall substrate must be selected before installation - the appropriate anchor type depends on whether the substrate is poured concrete, concrete block, or similar masonry material. Disconnect or confirm no powered hardware is involved before beginning work, and verify door swing clearance so the holder engages flush against the wall without binding the door. Follow all applicable building and fire code requirements, as some occupancies restrict the use of door holders on fire-rated assemblies.
