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

1) What does the Ives 299RS rescue strike actually do on a patient room door?
The 299RS is a center-mounted strike that lets an inward-swinging door be pushed the other way in an emergency. If a patient collapses behind the door and blocks it, staff depress the center tong and the door swings in the opposite direction, so nobody has to break the frame to get in. It works with center hung pivots, not butt hinges, and it is a commercial healthcare part rather than a general-purpose stop.
2) Which Ives pivots do I need to order with the 299RS rescue strike?
The 299RS only performs its rescue function on a center hung pivot set: Ives 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256, or 7259. The strike itself does not carry the door, so the pivots are a separate line on the order. If the opening is hung on butt hinges, the door cannot reverse swing and the strike will not do what you bought it for.
3) Will the Ives 299RS work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 299RS is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial leaf thickness. On a thinner door the geometry is wrong and the reverse-swing action will not set up properly. Custom sizes are handled through the factory rather than as a stock option.
4) What else can I use instead of the Ives 299RS if I am standardizing rescue strikes across a building?
Hager builds the same style of part: the Hager 455 center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate covers the 5-3/4 inch frame, and the Hager 456 covers 6-3/4 inch, matching the 299RS-7 and 299RS-8 respectively. Both Hager plates are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, same as the Ives. Sizing by frame depth is the thing to get right regardless of brand.
5) What rescue strike should I use on a door set into a 1/8 inch inset rather than flush?
The Hager 457 is a rescue door stop and two way strike plate built specifically for 1/8 inch inset doors, and it also serves a 1-3/4 inch door. The Ives 299RS is a center-mounted strike specified by frame width - a 7 model for a 5-3/4 inch frame and an 8 model for a 6-3/4 inch frame - and works with center hung pivots, so the inset condition is what points you to the 457 instead.
6) Can I use the Hager 4911 double door strike in place of an Ives 299RS?
No - they solve different problems despite both being strikes for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 4911 is a 4700 Series Grade 1 double door strike for surface vertical rod exit devices, which is a pair-of-doors application on panic hardware. The Ives 299RS is a center rescue strike whose tong depresses so a patient room or restroom door can swing the opposite direction in an emergency without frame damage, and it works with center hung pivots.
7) What is the equivalent of the Ives 299RS rescue strike for a 5-3/4 inch frame from another maker?
The Hager 455 is a center hung rescue door stop and two way strike plate sized for a 5-3/4 inch frame, the same frame width the Ives 299RS-7 model serves. Both are built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Ives 299RS uses a center tong that depresses to let the door swing the opposite direction in an emergency, and it must be paired with an Ives center hung pivot - 7253, 7255, 7255J, 7256 or 7259 - for that function to work.
8) What fasteners come with the Ives 299RS and will they work in a hollow metal frame?
The 299RS is packed with 8-32 x 1/2 inch machine screws, which is hollow metal prep. If you are going into wood or an aluminum frame, plan on sourcing your own fasteners. Ives publishes mounting templates for the 299 family, including a center template for the RS-7, so lay out the holes from the template rather than off the plate.
9) What is the difference between a center and an offset rescue strike, and which one is the 299RS?
The 299RS is the center version, meaning it suits a center hung pivot arrangement where the door pivots on the frame centerline. Ives publishes the 299 family in both center and offset mounting styles, and the offset variants carry different templates. Pick by how the door is hung: center hung pivot openings take the center strike; an offset pivot arrangement needs the offset pattern instead.
10) Is the Ives 299RS rescue strike compliant with ANSI/BHMA?
The 299RS is stated as meeting ANSI/BHMA A1882 for commercial door hardware. For a facilities or MRO submittal on a healthcare project, that plus the stainless construction and the 1-3/4 inch door thickness is normally what the reviewer is checking.
11) If I standardize rescue hardware across a hospital, do the Ives and Hager options cover the same door thicknesses?
Yes on thickness - the Ives 299RS is designed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 455, 456 and 457 rescue strikes all list a 1-3/4 inch door thickness as well. Where they differ is the opening condition each addresses: the Hager 455 covers a 5-3/4 inch frame, the 456 a 6-3/4 inch frame, and the 457 doors with a 1/8 inch inset. The Ives 299RS covers both frame widths through its 7 and 8 models and is ANSI/BHMA A1882 compliant with a stainless steel substrate.
12) What is the Ives 299RS made of and will it hold up in a hospital restroom?
Stainless steel substrate with a 630 US32D satin stainless finish, which is the usual specification for wet, high-traffic institutional spaces like patient restrooms and utility closets. Satin stainless does not show wear the way a plated brass finish does, and it takes routine hospital cleaning chemicals.
