For this second time this week (here’s the first one)…a post featuring the same type of product. Tim Weller of Allegion sent me this Fixed-it Friday photo, which features a kick-down stop (holder) in the new and improved “kick-up” custom mounting configuration. It’s just missing part number HDFPP (handy-dandy frame protector plate). We might have to come up with a new name for the kick-down stop used as an overhead holder, since the average Joe probably wouldn’t be able to kick it into position.

Flip-Up holder???
The “punch up stop”?
It could still be a kick stop… if you’re Bruce Lee.
This could be the flopper…not to be confused with the clapper. Flop on, flop off.
It’s for a karate school, called a ‘Kick-up’ door prop. No hands allowed.
Top Prop!
I like to call that Job Security.
Solves the 10″ clear bottom rail issue!
Is there anything so stupid that some idiot won’t try it? My grandmother used to say, “Nothing is foolproof in the hands of a fool.” Just sayin’…
Damn! I’ve been doing it all wrong.
If you stand on your head, it all makes sense
Nice product for IVES-
Door Top Stop.
DTS-4″
DTS-6″ 605, 626, 613
Never, ever say that you’ve “seen it all” in this industry because someone will come along and prove you wrong. Every time.
Hmmm…as now installed, the device itself is not accessible. We’ll need to include its operation as part of the job descriptions of particular persons, and stipulate as not for use by the general public. 😎
Just when you thought that you’ve seen everything…
They need to mount a 1250 on the hinge jamb below the U-Flip door holder. The holder also makes a great folding lever door pull. That pull don’t need the value added rubber insert.
We can call it a ‘hinge killer’ as a bit of wind and the top hinge will rip out.
Lori did you know that the ADA does not allow door kick stops or any kind of stop to be mounted on the door surface?
Hi Jean –
That is correct – the bottom 10 inches on the push side of manual doors is required to be flush and smooth with no projecting hardware. Here’s some more info: http://idighardware.com/2012/03/decoded-flush-bottom-rails/

Lori, I needed to specify door stops and holders for commercial restrooms that are required to meet ADA. I spoke to my contact at DOJ and the solution to avoid the 10″ smooth area is to mount the door stop on a wall at 42″ AFF. It could be lower but not lower than 34″ to be safe. I am specifying one that mounts on the wall, has a rubber stop and a hook that will swing to the small catch mounted on the back of the door.
Have you heard anything that would contradict this placement?
Hi Jean –
The 10-inch requirement only applies to the push-side face of manual doors. The door stop you are describing is on the pull side and mounted on the wall so it would not interfere with the 10-inch flush area on the push side.
