Select Hinges TIPIT-CM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are anti-ligature hinge tips and how do they work?
Anti-ligature hinge tips are specialized caps that cover exposed hinge pins and barrel ends. They eliminate potential attachment points for cords or fabric. The rounded, smooth design prevents ligature risks in behavioral health facilities.
2) Which hinges are compatible with TipIt anti-ligature hinge tips?
TipIt tips work with most standard butt hinges including Select Hinges models. Check your hinge barrel diameter and pin configuration. Most 4.5" and 5" hinges with standard barrel sizes accept these tips. Verify fit with manufacturer specifications.
3) Can these tips be used on both left and right hand doors?
Yes, TipIt anti-ligature tips are universal and work on any door handing. The design fits standard hinge configurations regardless of whether the door swings left or right. No separate left or right hand versions needed.
4) What finishes are available for anti-ligature hinge tips?
Most anti-ligature tips come in satin stainless steel or painted finishes to match common hinge colors. Check product specifications for exact finish options. Choose finishes that coordinate with your existing hardware for consistent appearance.
5) Do these tips affect hinge performance or door operation?
Properly installed tips do not interfere with door swing or hinge function. They add minimal weight and maintain proper clearances. The tips cover only the exposed pin ends without affecting the bearing surfaces or pivot points.
6) Are anti-ligature hinge tips required by building codes?
Requirements vary by facility type and local codes. Behavioral health facilities often mandate anti-ligature hardware. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction and facility guidelines. Many healthcare codes reference anti-ligature standards for patient safety areas.
7) What tools are needed to install TipIt hinge tips?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools. Most tips either snap on or use simple fasteners. Check the installation instructions for specific tool requirements. Installation should not require hinge removal or door adjustment.
8) How are anti-ligature hinge tips secured to prevent removal?
Tips use tamper-resistant attachment methods such as security screws or snap-fit designs that require special tools for removal. The attachment method prevents casual removal while allowing maintenance access with proper tools. Check specifications for security features.
9) Can these tips be retrofitted to existing hinge installations?
Yes, anti-ligature tips are designed for retrofit applications. They install over existing hinge pins without requiring hinge replacement. Verify compatibility with your current hinge model and barrel dimensions before ordering.
10) What other Select Hinges anti-ligature products are available?
Select Hinges offers complete anti-ligature hinge systems beyond just tips. Browse our Select Hinges collection for full anti-ligature hinges and related behavioral health hardware solutions.
11) How do you clean and maintain anti-ligature hinge tips?
Clean with standard disinfectants approved for healthcare use. The smooth surfaces resist buildup and clean easily. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage finishes. Regular inspection ensures tips remain secure and undamaged. Replace if any damage occurs.
12) What door weight limits apply when using hinge tips?
Hinge tips do not significantly change the door weight capacity of your hinges. Follow the original hinge manufacturer's weight ratings. The minimal added weight of the tips does not impact structural performance when properly installed.
