Bobrick 983 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Bobrick B-983 clothes hook safe for a psychiatric or detention environment?
The B-983 is a break-away style hook: it snaps down for safety if excessively loaded, which is the behavior specified for rooms where a fixed hook is a ligature concern. It is also vandal resistant and secured from the front with tamper-resistant mounting screws, so it cannot be removed with a standard driver.
2) How far does the Bobrick B-983 hook stick out from the wall, and does that meet ADA projection limits?
The hook projects 1-1/4 inches (30mm) from the back plate, and the back plate itself is 7/8 inch (20mm) deep. Bobrick lists the B-983 as ADA compliant. Wall-mounted objects projecting 4 inches or less from the wall are not treated as protruding objects under ADA, and this one is well inside that.
3) Can the Bobrick B-983 be mounted on a toilet partition door instead of a wall?
It is a surface-mounted hook fastened through the back plate from the front, so it goes onto a flat surface, a wall or a partition door face. Because all fastening is done from the front, you do not need access to the back side of the panel to install it.
4) What material and finish is the Bobrick B-983 hook, and will it hold up in a high-traffic public restroom?
Type 304 stainless steel with a satin finish, and the back plate is 14-gauge (2mm) stock. Type 304 handles the moisture and cleaning chemicals of a public washroom, and the satin finish hides wear and fingerprints better than polished. Bobrick classes it as vandal resistant.
5) Do I need to buy anchors or screws separately for the Bobrick B-983 clothes hook?
Tamper-resistant mounting screws come with the hook. What you may still need is the correct anchor for your substrate, since the supplied fasteners are the security screws themselves, not a wall anchor system for hollow drywall or block.
6) Is the Bobrick B-983 a single hook or a double hook?
Single hook on a square back plate, projecting 1-1/4 inches. If you need two garment points per stall or per door, you would plan on two units rather than expecting an upper and lower prong on one plate.
