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

1) What does the Ives 299ES emergency stop strike actually do when a patient collapses behind a bathroom door?
That's the whole reason the 299ES exists. On an inward swinging patient restroom door hung on center pivots, a person down on the floor blocks the door from opening. The 299ES has a center tong that depresses under force, releasing the door so it swings the opposite way, out into the room, without tearing up the frame. Staff get in without removing the door or breaking the jamb. It only works this way as part of a center hung pivot setup, not on a butt hinged door.
2) Which Ives pivots do I need to order with the 299ES rescue strike?
The 299ES has to be paired with an Ives center hung pivot: models 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, or 7259. The strike is only the frame side half of the rescue function, so the pivot set is a separate line on the order. Install per the parent pivot's instructions, not as a standalone strike.
3) Do I order the 299ES-7 or the 299ES-8? How do I tell which frame size I have?
Measure the frame face. The 299ES-7 measures 6-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and goes on a 5-3/4 inch frame; the 299ES-8 measures 7-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and goes on a 6-3/4 inch frame. The strike plate is larger than the frame dimension it is named for, so going by the plate size alone is how people order the wrong one. Both ship in US32D.
4) Will the Ives 299ES work with a deadbolt or a mortise lock on the patient restroom door?
No. The 299ES cannot be used with deadbolt applications, and it cannot be used with a mortise lock that has a deadlocking auxiliary latch. A deadbolt or a deadlatched auxiliary defeats the release, the tong will not let the door reverse, and you lose the rescue function entirely. Spec a privacy or passage function without a deadlocking auxiliary on any opening getting this strike.
5) What else is out there besides the Ives 299ES for a center hung rescue stop, and how do they differ?
Hager makes the direct cross: the Hager 455 covers the 5-3/4 inch frame and the Hager 456 the 6-3/4 inch, both center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plates rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, same as the Ives. If your doors sit inset in the frame rather than flush, the Hager 457 is the version built for a 1/8 inch inset door, which neither the Ives 299ES nor the 455/456 addresses. One thing to keep straight: the Hager 4911 double door strike is for surface vertical rod exit devices on a pair, not rescue hardware. It sounds adjacent and does something completely different.
6) What should I use for a rescue strike on a 1/8 inch inset door instead of the 299ES?
The Hager 457 is a rescue door stop and two way strike plate made for 1/8 inch inset doors, on 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Ives 299ES is a center hung emergency stop strike used with center hung pivots such as the 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, and 7259, and it is sized to the frame at 5-3/4 or 6-3/4 inches rather than to an inset condition. Where the door sits inset in the frame, the 457 is the one built for that geometry.
7) What is the equivalent of the Ives 299ES-7 for a 5-3/4 inch frame from another manufacturer?
The Hager 455 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate for a 5-3/4 inch frame, and it fits 1-3/4 inch doors. The Ives 299ES-7 measures 6-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and is the model used with a 5-3/4 inch frame, also on 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are center hung rescue strikes, so the frame size is the number to match when cross-referencing.
8) Can a Hager 4911 double door strike be used in place of an Ives 299ES rescue strike?
No. The Hager 4911 is a 4700 Series Grade 1 double door strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, for 1-3/4 inch doors. That is a pair of doors with exit hardware, not a rescue application. The Ives 299ES is an emergency stop strike whose center tong depresses so a door blocked by an incapacitated patient can swing the opposite way, and it works with center hung pivots. The two solve different problems and are not interchangeable.
9) Center mounting or offset mounting on a rescue stop strike, which one do I need?
It depends on where the pivot sets the door in the frame. The 299ES is offered in both center and offset mounting styles for the 5-3/4 inch and 6-3/4 inch frames. Match the mounting to the pivot already specified for the opening rather than choosing it on its own, and pull the matching drilling template before you prep the frame. Ives publishes separate center and offset templates for the 299 series, including center templates for the AS-7 and ES-7 and offset templates for the AB-7, EB-7 and RB-7.
10) Will the Ives 299ES hold up in a behavioral health or high traffic hospital restroom?
The 299ES uses a stainless steel substrate, which is what you want on a patient restroom door that gets cleaned with hospital chemicals and cycled all day. It meets ANSI/BHMA A1882 and is specified as commercial hardware. Typical placements are patient room restrooms, utility closets and small spaces, convalescent and assisted living rooms, and mental health treatment areas, anywhere a door could get blocked by someone on the floor.
11) I'm standardizing rescue hardware across a facility with mixed frame depths. Can I use one 299ES part number everywhere?
No, and this is where fleet standardization breaks down on rescue strikes. The 299ES is frame specific: the -7 serves 5-3/4 inch frames and the -8 serves 6-3/4 inch frames. Survey the openings and split the count by frame depth. What you can standardize is the finish, US32D on both, and the pivot family, since the same 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256 or 7259 pivots work behind either strike size.
12) If I am standardizing rescue hardware across a hospital, how do the Ives 299ES and the Hager 455 and 456 line up?
They line up by frame size. The Hager 455 covers the 5-3/4 inch frame and the Hager 456 covers the 6-3/4 inch frame, both center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plates for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Ives 299ES covers the same two frame sizes across its 299ES-7 and 299ES-8 models, is stainless steel, and meets ANSI/BHMA A1882. A facility survey that records frame width per opening will map cleanly onto either line.
13) Does a rescue stop strike work on a door with a deadbolt or a mortise lock with a deadlocking auxiliary latch?
Not with the Ives 299ES. It cannot be used with deadbolt applications or with mortise locks that have deadlocking auxiliary latches, because the door has to be able to release and swing the other way. Among the rescue plates, the Hager 455, 456, and 457 are all center hung or inset rescue door stop and two way strike plates for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the same latching question applies to the opening before any of them is specified. Where a deadbolt is required, the opening needs a different hardware approach altogether.
14) Do I need to buy screws for the Ives 299ES, and will they suit a hollow metal frame?
Fasteners are in the box. The 299ES is packed with 8-32 x 1/2 inch screws sized for hollow metal frames, which covers the typical institutional opening. Nothing else to source on the strike side; the pivots come with their own hardware.
