Ives Offset Emergency Stop Assembly with Bi-Directional Door Swing for Healthcare Applications

Professional Rescue Hardware Solution for Emergency Door Access

The Ives Offset Emergency Stop Assembly is engineered specifically for healthcare environments where patient safety and emergency access are critical. This rescue hardware system works in conjunction with center hung pivots to enable bi-directional door swing in emergency situations, allowing doors to swing in the opposite direction when patients become trapped behind inward swinging doors. Designed for 1-3/4" door thickness with offset mounting configuration, this assembly fits 6-3/4" to 7-3/4" frames and includes 8-32 x 1/2" fasteners for hollow metal applications.

Installation & Operation

  1. Verify door thickness is 1-3/4" and frame dimensions are compatible with 6-3/4" to 7-3/4" frame requirements for offset mounting.
  2. Ensure compatible Ives center hung pivot models (7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, or 7259) are installed and properly functioning before rescue hardware installation.
  3. Use manufacturer-provided templates to mark precise mounting locations for the emergency stop assembly on the door frame.
  4. Prepare frame by drilling required holes according to template specifications and manufacturer installation guidelines.
  5. Install the emergency stop assembly using provided 8-32 x 1/2" fasteners, ensuring proper alignment with center hung pivot mechanism.
  6. Test emergency operation by depressing center tong to verify bi-directional door swing function and confirm door returns to normal operation when released.
  7. Verify installation does not interfere with deadbolt applications or mortise locks with deadlocking auxiliary latches as these are incompatible with this rescue hardware system.

Professional Applications

  • Hospital Patient Room Restrooms
  • Healthcare Facility Utility Closets

Emergency Access Design

This rescue hardware system addresses the critical safety challenge of blocked doorways in healthcare environments. When a patient becomes incapacitated behind an inward swinging door, the center tong depression mechanism enables immediate access by allowing the door to swing in the opposite direction without frame damage. This life-saving functionality is essential in patient restrooms, utility closets, and confined spaces where emergency access may be required.

Engineered specifically for emergency access situations, this system provides the dependable performance healthcare professionals require when patient safety is at stake. The precision-manufactured components ensure consistent operation and long-term durability in critical care environments.

Ives IVE-299AB-7 US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does an Ives 299AB rescue stop actually do in an emergency?
It lets a door that normally swings into a room be pushed the other way. If a patient collapses behind an inward swinging restroom or closet door and blocks it, staff depress the center tong on the 299AB and the door swings in the opposite direction, without tearing up the frame. Once released, the door goes back to normal operation. That is the whole reason it exists in patient rooms, utility closets, and other small spaces.
2) Do I need special pivots to use the Ives 299AB, or will it work with my existing hinges?
Pivots, not hinges. The 299AB has to be used with a compatible Ives center hung pivot, specifically models 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, or 7259, and those pivots need to be installed and working before the rescue stop goes on. On a butt hinged door there is nothing for the assembly to work against, so budget the pivot set into the job if the opening does not already have one.
3) Can I use a deadbolt or a mortise lock with an Ives 299AB rescue stop?
No. Deadbolt applications and mortise locks with a deadlocking auxiliary latch are incompatible with the 299AB. Either one defeats the rescue function, because the door can no longer break the other way when the tong is depressed. Plan the opening around a lock that does not deadlock, or the rescue hardware buys you nothing when it matters.
4) Which Ives 299AB model do I order, the -7 or the -8?
Measure the frame. The 299AB-7 is the 6-3/4 x 2-3/4 inch unit for a 5-3/4 inch frame; the 299AB-8 is the 7-3/4 x 2-3/4 inch unit for a 6-3/4 inch frame. Both ship in US32D satin stainless. Ives publishes a DBL 299 AB-7 offset template, so on the -7 you can mark and drill the frame straight off the manufacturer sheet instead of measuring by hand.
5) My hospital doors are center hung, not offset. What rescue stop should I use instead of the Ives 299AB?
The 299AB is the offset hung version, so a center hung opening needs a center hung unit. Hager makes two: the 455 center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate at 5-3/4 inches, and the 456 at 6-3/4 inches. Both are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the 299AB works on, so you match on frame size rather than door.
6) What is the equivalent to the Ives 299AB emergency stop assembly for a center hung door rather than an offset hung one?
The 299AB is built for offset hung applications, so on a center hung opening the Hager 455 Center Hung Rescue Door Stop and Two Way Strike Plate 5-3/4 inch and the Hager 456 Center Hung Rescue Door Stop and Two Way Strike Plate 6-3/4 inch are the parts that match the hanging condition. The 455 covers a 5-3/4 inch frame and the 456 a 6-3/4 inch frame, and both are rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the 299AB is designed around. Confirm how the door is hung before ordering: an offset hung stop and a center hung stop are not interchangeable on the same opening.
7) The patient restroom door is inset into the frame. Will the Ives 299AB work, or is there a rescue stop made for that?
An inset door is a different frame condition than the 299AB is dimensioned for. The Hager 457 Rescue Door Stop and Two Way Strike Plate is made specifically for 1/8 inch inset doors and carries the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness as the 299AB, so it is the part to specify when the door sits back into the frame. The 299AB is dimensioned 6.75 inch to 7.75 inch by 2.75 inch for offset hung frames, and it should be matched to that condition rather than forced onto an inset opening.
8) Can the Hager 4911 double door strike be used in place of an Ives 299AB rescue stop?
No. The Hager 4911 is a 4700 Series Grade 1 double door strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, which is a strike for a pair of doors carrying exit hardware. The 299AB is rescue hardware, an emergency stop assembly whose center tong is depressed to let the door swing the opposite direction when someone is down behind an inward swinging door. Both are frame-mounted stainless parts sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, and that surface resemblance is where the overlap ends. For a hospital patient restroom or utility closet, specify the rescue stop; for a vertical rod pair, specify the 4911.
9) Does the Ives 299AB come with mounting screws, or do I need to supply my own?
Fasteners are in the box: 8-32 x 1/2 inch screws sized for hollow metal frames. If you are going into something other than hollow metal, that is a fastener you will need to source separately. Everything else on the install is frame prep, drilled to the Ives template.
10) Is the Ives 299AB rescue stop rated for commercial healthcare use?
It is a commercial-grade unit built to ANSI/BHMA A1882, with a stainless steel substrate for wet, high-traffic areas like patient restrooms and long-term care rooms. Stainless matters here as much as the rating does: these go on doors that get cleaned constantly.
11) Can I standardize one Ives 299AB part number across a whole floor of patient rooms?
Only if the frames match. The two models split by frame width, 5-3/4 inch frames take the 299AB-7 and 6-3/4 inch frames take the 299AB-8, so survey the openings before you commit to a single part number. Where a building mixes offset hung and center hung doors, you will be carrying two different assemblies regardless, since the 299AB covers the offset hung side only.
12) We are standardizing rescue hardware across a long-term care facility with a mix of door conditions. What do we need to carry besides the Ives 299AB?
The 299AB covers offset hung openings on 1-3/4 inch doors, in the 6-3/4 by 2-3/4 inch 299AB-7 for a 5-3/4 inch frame and the 7-3/4 by 2-3/4 inch 299AB-8 for a 6-3/4 inch frame. Openings that are hung differently need their own part. Center hung doors take the Hager 455 for a 5-3/4 inch frame or the Hager 456 for a 6-3/4 inch frame, and doors set back into the frame take the Hager 457, made for 1/8 inch inset doors. All three Hager parts are rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, so a facility survey that records hang type and frame width for each opening is enough to build the buy list.
