Ives 299AL630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does rescue hardware let a door swing the other way if a patient collapses behind it?
The 299AL uses a two way strike arrangement: depressing the center tong releases the door so it can swing in the opposite direction from its normal swing, without damaging the frame. That is the whole point in a patient room restroom, where someone falling against an inward-swinging door would otherwise block it shut. Staff push through from the corridor side rather than removing the door or breaking the frame.
2) What is the difference between the 299 -7 and -8 rescue stop models?
Frame depth. The -7 is sized for a 5-3/4 inch frame and the -8 for a 6-3/4 inch frame. Measure the jamb depth on the opening before you order, because the two are not interchangeable and the stop has to land correctly on the frame face.
3) Can I use a deadbolt or a mortise lock with a rescue emergency stop?
No, and this is the detail that gets openings built wrong. Deadbolt applications and mortise locks with deadlocking auxiliary latches cannot be used with the 299AL rescue system. Anything that positively locks the leaf into the frame defeats the reverse swing the hardware exists to provide. Specify the lock for these restroom and utility door openings accordingly.
4) The bathroom door on the patient room is inset in the frame, not flush. Will the Ives 299AL rescue stop work?
The 299AL is built for 1-3/4 inch doors in 5-3/4 inch or 6-3/4 inch frames in center or offset mounting, and it has to run with an Ives center hung pivot from the 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, or 7259 group. For an inset door, the Hager 457 is a rescue door stop and two way strike plate made specifically for 1/8 inch inset doors, also on a 1-3/4 inch door. If the leaf sits back in the opening rather than hanging center in a plain frame, the 457 is the part cut for that condition.
5) What is the equivalent of the Ives 299AL rescue emergency stop in the Hager line?
Hager's rescue door stop and two way strike plates cover the same center hung rescue application, and the frame size decides which one you take. The Hager 455 is the center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate for 5-3/4 inch, matching the Ives 299AL -7 model that fits 5-3/4 inch frames; the Hager 456 is the 6-3/4 inch version, matching the -8 model that fits 6-3/4 inch frames. All three are built around 1-3/4 inch doors, so measure the frame depth before you order rather than assuming one part covers both openings.
6) Do I order the center or offset version of the Ives 299 rescue stop?
Both mounting styles exist, center and offset, and the choice follows how the pivot and frame are laid out on the opening. Ives publishes a separate drilling template for each combination (AS-7 and ES-7 and RS-7 for center, AB-7 and EB-7 and RB-7 for offset), so pull the template that matches the style you are specifying and check it against the jamb before the frame is prepped.
7) Does the Ives 299AL come with mounting screws, or do I need to supply my own?
8-32 x 1/2 inch fasteners for hollow metal applications ship with the assembly. If the frame is something other than hollow metal, you supply the appropriate anchors yourself. Note also that this is the stop assembly only, so the center hung pivot is a separate line on the order.
8) What standard does the Ives 299AL rescue stop meet for an institutional spec?
It is listed to ANSI/BHMA A1882 and is a commercial-grade product, not residential. That is the line to cite when the rescue hardware has to be written into a healthcare or institutional hardware schedule.
9) I have inset doors and the standard rescue stop won't sit flush. What do I use?
The Ives 299AL is built around 5-3/4 and 6-3/4 inch frames and won't account for an inset leaf. For a 1/8 inch inset door, the Hager 457 rescue door stop and two way strike plate is made for that condition and also fits 1-3/4 inch doors. Check the actual inset at the opening before ordering either one.
10) Is a double door strike the same thing as a rescue strike?
No, and they get confused because both are called strikes. A rescue stop like the 299AL is a two way device for a single center hung door that has to swing both directions in an emergency. A double door strike such as the Hager 4911, a Grade 1 strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, is for the meeting stile of a pair of doors and has nothing to do with reverse swing. If the need is patient entrapment on a restroom door, the rescue stop is the part.
11) Is the Hager 4911 double door strike a substitute for the Ives 299AL rescue stop?
No. The Hager 4911 is a 4700 Series Grade 1 double door strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, so it serves a pair of doors carrying exit hardware. The Ives 299AL is a rescue emergency stop assembly whose center tong depresses to let the door swing the opposite direction so a patient cannot be trapped behind an inward swinging door, and it runs on Ives center hung pivots 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, and 7259. Both are strikes on 1-3/4 inch doors and that is where the overlap ends: the 4911 does not give you emergency reverse swing, and the 299AL does nothing for a vertical rod pair.
12) We are standardizing rescue hardware across a hospital wing with mixed frame depths. Do we need more than one part number?
Yes, and the split is by frame depth and door condition rather than by function. The Ives 299AL covers 1-3/4 inch doors with a -7 for 5-3/4 inch frames and a -8 for 6-3/4 inch frames, in center or offset mounting, in satin stainless steel 630. On the Hager side the same three conditions break out as separate part numbers: the 455 for 5-3/4 inch, the 456 for 6-3/4 inch, and the 457 for 1/8 inch inset doors, all on 1-3/4 inch doors. Survey the frames first, then decide whether one line covers every opening in the wing or you need a second number for the inset doors.
13) Our patient room restroom door has a mortise lock with a deadlocking auxiliary latch. What rescue strike should we look at?
The Ives 299AL cannot be used where a deadbolt or a mortise lock with a deadlocking auxiliary latch is present, so that opening needs its lock changed before rescue hardware goes on it, not a different strike. If the lock is coming out anyway, the 299AL is the center hung rescue assembly for 1-3/4 inch doors in 5-3/4 inch or 6-3/4 inch frames; the Hager 455 and 456 cover the same 5-3/4 inch and 6-3/4 inch center hung rescue condition on 1-3/4 inch doors. Confirm the latching hardware first, because no rescue stop in this group will free a door held by a deadlocking auxiliary latch.
14) What finish is the 299AL-630 and will it match the rest of the hardware in a hospital corridor?
630 satin stainless steel, also called US32D, over a stainless steel substrate. That is the standard institutional finish, so it lines up with the satin stainless push plates, pulls and levers already common in healthcare corridors, and stainless holds up to the cleaning chemistry used in patient areas. 630 is the only finish this assembly is built in.
15) Where is rescue hardware like this actually required or used?
Patient room restrooms are the classic application, along with hospital utility closets and other small rooms where a person could fall against an inward-swinging door and block it. It shows up in hospitals, institutional care and convalescent facilities, assisted living and medical office buildings. If a room is small enough that a body on the floor would trap the door shut, that is the opening this hardware is for.
