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

1) What does the Ives 299RB rescue strike actually do in a patient room?
The 299RB is the strike half of a rescue setup: if someone collapses against an inward-swinging door, pressing the center tong releases the door so it swings the opposite way instead of having to be forced or the frame broken. It's meant for hospital and convalescent-home restrooms, patient rooms and small utility spaces where a body on the floor can block the only way in.
2) Which Ives pivots do I need to order with the 299RB strike?
The 299RB only works with a center hung pivot, and Ives specifies models 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256 and 7259. The strike is not a standalone item, so the pivot set has to be on the order too, and it will not perform on a butt-hinged or offset-pivoted door running other hardware.
3) How do I pick between the 299RB-7 and the 299RB-8?
Measure the frame face. The 7 model is 6-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches and goes on a 5-3/4 inch frame; the 8 model is 7-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches for a 6-3/4 inch frame. Both are supplied in US32D satin stainless. Get the frame dimension off the opening before ordering, because the two are not interchangeable on the same jamb.
4) What else can I use if the Ives 299RB doesn't match my frame size?
Hager builds the same class of part: the 455 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate for a 5-3/4 inch frame and the 456 is the 6-3/4 inch version, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a door with a 1/8 inch inset, Hager's 457 is the one made for that condition. All three are center hung parts, so match them against your pivot arrangement rather than assuming they drop into an offset prep.
5) What is the difference between the Ives 299RB rescue strike and the Hager 455 rescue door stop?
Both are rescue strikes that let a door reverse its swing so a person collapsed behind an inward-swinging door does not block access, and both suit 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference is the hung condition. The 299RB is an offset hung strike with a 6.75 inch to 7.75 inch by 2.75 inch body, ordered as the 7 model for a 5-3/4 inch frame or the 8 model for a 6-3/4 inch frame. The Hager 455 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate sized 5-3/4 inch. Match the part to how the door is actually hung: an offset pivot opening takes the 299RB, a center hung opening takes the center hung plate.
6) Which rescue strike do I use on a center hung door instead of the Ives 299RB?
Use a center hung rescue plate. The Hager 455 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate at 5-3/4 inch, and the Hager 456 is the same part at 6-3/4 inch; both are for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Ives 299RB is an offset hung strike and is intended for use with Ives center hung pivot models 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256 and 7259 in an offset pocket configuration, so it is not the part to spec when the plate itself has to sit in a center hung condition. Pick the Hager size to match the frame dimension you measured.
7) My door is inset in the frame. Will the Ives 299RB work, or do I need something else?
An inset door is a different preparation. The Hager 457 is a rescue door stop and two way strike plate built specifically for 1/8 inch inset doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Ives 299RB is an offset hung strike whose body measures 6.75 inch to 7.75 inch by 2.75 inch and is ordered against the frame size, with the 7 model used with a 5-3/4 inch frame and the 8 model used with a 6-3/4 inch frame. Confirm the inset before ordering, because the two parts prep the opening differently.
8) What's the difference between the offset rescue strike and the center version?
Offset versus center describes where the strike pocket sits relative to the frame. The 299RB is the offset-hung configuration, and Ives publishes the offset prep drawings (DBL 299 RB-7 offset template) separately from the center prep (DBL 299 RS-7 center template). Pick offset when the door and pivot are set off the frame centerline; take the center version when the pivot runs on centerline. Using the wrong prep means routing the jamb twice.
9) Does the Ives 299RB come with screws, and will they work in a hollow metal door?
Fasteners are included: 8-32 x 1/2 inch screws sized for hollow metal applications, which is what most institutional restroom and patient-room openings are. Nothing else in the way of mounting hardware needs to be sourced for the strike itself, though the center hung pivots are a separate order.
10) Does the Ives 299RB meet an ANSI/BHMA standard for facility specs?
Yes, the 299RB is stated to ANSI/BHMA A1882. If your spec section calls out a rescue stop and strike to that standard, the 299RB answers it, and the pivot models it pairs with should be listed alongside it on the hardware schedule.
11) Is a double door strike the same thing as a rescue strike?
No, and they get confused on order forms. A part like the Hager 4911 is a Grade 1 double door strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, which is about latching a pair of doors at the mullion-less meeting stile. The 299RB does the opposite job: it lets a single center hung door reverse its swing so a collapsed occupant can be reached. If the opening is an egress pair with vertical rods, the rescue strike is the wrong part.
12) Can I standardize the 299RB across every patient bathroom in the building?
You can, provided the openings are consistent: 1-3/4 inch doors on Ives center hung pivots, with the jamb prepped offset. Where frame widths vary you'll be buying both the 7 (5-3/4 inch frame) and the 8 (6-3/4 inch frame) under the same model, which keeps one part number family and one US32D finish across the floor. Openings on offset or butt hinges are the ones that will break the standard.
13) I am standardizing rescue strikes across a hospital with both center hung and offset hung doors. What do I order?
You will need two families, not one part. For offset hung openings, the Ives 299RB covers them in two sizes: the 7 model at 6-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches for a 5-3/4 inch frame and the 8 model at 7-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches for a 6-3/4 inch frame, in stainless steel to ANSI/BHMA A1882. For center hung openings, the Hager 455 covers 5-3/4 inch and the Hager 456 covers 6-3/4 inch. All of these are for 1-3/4 inch doors, so a facility survey that records hung type and frame dimension per opening is enough to build the whole order.
14) Do the Hager rescue strikes and the Ives 299RB fit the same door thickness?
Yes. The Ives 299RB is engineered for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Hager 455, 456 and 457 rescue door stop and two way strike plates are all listed for 1-3/4 inch doors as well. Door thickness is therefore not the deciding factor between them. What decides it is the hung condition and frame size: the 299RB is offset hung and ordered at 6-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches or 7-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches, the Hager 455 and 456 are center hung at 5-3/4 inch and 6-3/4 inch, and the Hager 457 is built for 1/8 inch inset doors.
15) Is the Ives 299RB rescue strike corrosion resistant enough for a hospital restroom?
The strike is stainless steel and finished US32D satin stainless, which holds up to the wet-clean and disinfectant regimen in patient bathrooms better than a plated steel part. It is specified as commercial-grade hardware, not residential.
