Ives IVE-299AS-7M-ST – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Ives 299AS emergency stop assembly actually for?
It solves the blocked-bathroom problem in patient care. When someone collapses behind an inward-swinging door, staff can't get in. Depressing the center tong on the 299AS lets the door swing the opposite way so the opening clears, and it does that without tearing up the frame. Typical spots are patient room restrooms, utility closets, and small rooms in convalescent and institutional buildings. It's stainless steel and commercial-rated.
2) Do I need special pivots to use the Ives 299AS rescue stop?
Yes, and this is the part that trips people up. The 299AS only works on a center hung pivot door, and Ives ties it to pivot models 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, and 7259. If the opening is on butt hinges or offset pivots, this assembly won't function. Confirm the pivot model on the door before you order the stop.
3) Which Ives 299 size do I order, the 7 or the 8?
You pick by frame width, not door width. The 7 model measures 6-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and goes on a 5-3/4 inch frame; the 8 model measures 7-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and goes on a 6-3/4 inch frame. Both come in 630 satin stainless. Measure the frame face before ordering, because the wrong one won't line up with the pivot.
4) Can I use a rescue stop on a door with a deadbolt?
Not this one. The 299AS is not compatible with deadbolt applications, or with mortise locks that have a deadlocking auxiliary latch. A deadbolt defeats the whole point anyway, since the door can't reverse if a bolt is thrown into the frame. Patient room restrooms using this hardware should be on privacy or passage function only.
5) What else can I use besides the Ives 299AS for a hospital rescue stop?
Hager builds direct counterparts in the same sizes. The Hager 455 is the center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate for 5-3/4 inch frames, matching the Ives 7 model, and the Hager 456 is the 6-3/4 inch version matching the 8 model. Both are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, same as the Ives. If your doors are inset rather than flush, the Hager 457 is the one built for 1/8 inch inset doors, which the Ives 299AS does not cover.
6) What rescue door stop works with a 6-3/4 inch frame instead of the Ives 299AS?
The Hager 456 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate sized for 6-3/4 inch frames, and it is rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Ives 299AS covers the same frame with its 8 model, a 7-3/4 x 2-3/4 inch plate. Measure the frame face before choosing, because the 455 at 5-3/4 inches and the 456 at 6-3/4 inches are not interchangeable in the same opening.
7) What's the difference between the center mount and offset versions of the Ives 299 rescue stop?
The AS designation is the center mount, which is what the 299AS is. Ives also builds offset-mount versions in the 299 family, and the mounting style has to match how the pivot sits in the opening. Ives publishes separate drill templates for the center and offset variants, so use the template that matches the exact model you bought rather than assuming the hole pattern carries over.
8) Does the Ives 299AS come with mounting screws, or do I need to buy fasteners?
Fasteners are in the box: 8-32 x 1/2 inch screws sized for hollow metal doors. If you're mounting to anything other than hollow metal, plan on sourcing your own anchors. You'll also need the Ives drill template to lay out the holes, and the pivot set if the door isn't already center hung.
9) Does the Ives 299AS meet the standard our spec calls out for rescue hardware?
The 299AS is built to ANSI/BHMA A1882 and is a commercial-grade assembly, stainless steel throughout. That's the reference to put on a submittal for institutional and healthcare work.
10) Is a rescue door stop the same thing as a double door strike for exit devices?
No, and they get confused because both are strike plates on a frame. The Ives 299AS is emergency hardware for a single center hung patient room door, letting the swing reverse when someone is down behind it. A double door strike like the Hager 4911, made for surface vertical rod exit devices on a pair of doors, is a latching strike and does nothing for rescue access. If your problem is a blocked bathroom door, you want the rescue stop.
11) Which rescue stop should I standardize on across a hospital wing with mixed frame sizes?
Rescue stops are frame-specific, so a mixed wing takes more than one part number regardless of brand. On the Ives side the 299AS covers it with the 7 model for 5-3/4 inch frames and the 8 model for 6-3/4 inch frames, both in 630 satin stainless steel and meeting ANSI/BHMA A1882. The Hager equivalents split the same way, 455 for 5-3/4 inch and 456 for 6-3/4 inch, with the 457 for 1/8 inch inset doors. Staying within one family keeps the templates and the fastener pattern consistent across the wing.
12) How much frame face do I need for an Ives 299 rescue stop to fit?
The assembly itself runs 2-3/4 inches across, with overall length from 6-3/4 to 7-3/4 inches depending on which model you take. It mounts to the frame, so the governing number is frame width: 5-3/4 inch frames take the 7, 6-3/4 inch frames take the 8. Drill from the Ives template rather than scaling off those figures.
13) Do the Hager rescue stops and the Ives 299AS require the same door thickness?
Yes. The Ives 299AS is designed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 455, 456 and 457 rescue stops all list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Thickness will not be the deciding factor between them; frame width and whether the door is flush or inset will be. Ives offers custom sizes through factory consultation if the opening falls outside 1-3/4 inch.
