Ives 482B26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Ives 482 door guard and how does it work?
The 482 is a swing bar door guard: a solid brass bar mounted on the door that interlocks with a ball on a frame-mounted strike, so the door can be cracked open to see and speak to whoever is outside without unlatching it fully. The bar is hinged and swings a full 180 degrees clear of the door when you are not using it. It is not a latch or a lock and does not replace one; it is a secondary restraint used on top of whatever locks the opening.
2) How much frame face do I need for the Ives 482 strike plate?
The 482 strike measures 2-5/8 by 1-1/32 inches, so you need a flat run of frame face at least that tall and just over an inch wide, clear of the stop, to land it. On a narrow hollow metal frame with a wide stop that can be tight, so check the flat before you drill. The door-side pieces are smaller: the edge guard is 1-1/8 by 1-1/32 inches and the holder 1-3/4 by 1-1/16 inches.
3) Does the Ives 482 door guard meet ANSI/BHMA standards for a spec job?
The 482 is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, the standard covering auxiliary hardware, and it is a commercial-rated product rather than a residential one. If your spec section calls out A156.16 auxiliary door guards, this answers it. No fire rating or UL listing applies to a door guard of this kind, so do not expect one on the submittal.
4) What is another swing bar door guard besides the Ives 482?
The Delaney Safety Door Guard, Ball Bearing is a comparable safety door guard from Delaney Hardware. The Ives 482 is a brass swing bar guard whose solid bar interlocks with a ball on the strike plate so the door can be opened slightly for viewing, with the hinged bar swinging 180 degrees clear of the door when not in use, and it is specified for commercial use to ANSI/BHMA A156.16. Both are surface-applied guards for an in-swinging door, so the deciding factors are the finish you need to match on the opening and whether the A156.16 commercial specification is called out on your drawing or purchase spec.
5) Will the Ives 482 guard scratch my door or frame when it swings?
Two parts of the 482 exist for exactly that. A cast brass edge protection plate, 1-1/8 by 1-1/32 inches, takes the wear where the bar crosses the door edge, and the strike is shaped so the solid bar cannot chew up the inside face of the door as it engages. That matters on painted hollow metal and on wood doors in guest rooms and patient rooms where marring shows up fast.
6) What finishes does the Ives 482 door guard come in for matching existing hardware?
Nine finishes cover the 482: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so a property manager standardizing a floor can order the guard in the same number already on the lever and hinges. Satin chrome 626 is the usual commercial default; 613 and 643E are the ones to pick against dark bronze trim.
7) What fasteners come with the Ives 482, and do I need anything else to install it?
The 482 ships with sheet metal screws, which is what you want into a wood door or into a hollow metal door and frame face. Nothing else is required for a standard flush door: no through-bolting, no mortising, no cylinder. On a hollow metal frame you may want to pre-drill and use a machine screw into a tapped hole if the frame face is heavy gauge, but the supplied screws handle typical work.
8) Should I use a swing bar door guard or a chain-type guard on my apartment doors?
A swing bar like the Ives 482 uses a solid brass bar into a ball strike rather than a chain and slide, so there is no link to stretch or slot to pull through, and the whole assembly folds 180 degrees flat against the door when the tenant is not using it. That is why swing bars are what goes on multi-tenant residential and hotel doors. Chain guards are the lighter, cheaper answer for interior residential doors that see little traffic.
9) Can maintenance staff open a door secured by the Ives 482 from outside?
No. The 482 engages from inside the unit and there is no cylinder, key override, or emergency release in the guard, so once the bar is set on the strike ball nobody gets past it from the corridor without defeating it. Buildings that need staff entry over an engaged restraint use a purpose-built privacy latch with an emergency release instead. Plan your entry procedure around that before standardizing the 482 across occupied units.
10) If I am standardizing door guards across a building, which one gives me the widest finish match?
The Ives 482 is produced in nine finishes - 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 643E aged bronze - so a facility that already runs satin chrome lever trim in the corridors and oil-rubbed bronze in guest areas can carry one model number across both. The Delaney Safety Door Guard, Ball Bearing is the alternative safety door guard in the same application. For a multi-tenant or hospitality property where the guard has to disappear into existing hardware, matching the BHMA finish code you already specify is usually what settles it.
11) Is brass a good choice for a door guard in a coastal or high-humidity building?
Brass is the substrate on the 482, and it resists corrosion rather than rusting the way a plated steel guard does, which is why it holds up in hotel corridors, healthcare wings, and buildings near salt air. The finish over it decides the look: bright brass 605 and satin brass 606 are the bare-metal-family options, while chrome, nickel, and black plated finishes give a harder-wearing surface for high-touch guest room doors.
