    Rescue Hardware

    Rescue hardware is essential in environments like hospitals and nursing homes, where quick access is crucial in emergencies. It allows doors to swing in both directions, ensuring easy access when someone is incapacitated behind an inward-swinging door.


    Overview

    Ives rescue hardware is designed to address a blocked doorway caused by an incapacitated patient, which is a problem often encountered by health care professionals. Used in conjunction with center hung pivots, rescue hardware allows a bi-directional door swing in emergency situations. When a patient becomes trapped behind an inward swinging door, the center tong depresses, allowing the door to swing in the opposite direction without causing frame damage.

    As a valuable element in patient room restrooms, utility closets, and small spaces in hospitals, institutions, and convalescent homes, rescue hardware consists of a strike and an emergency release.
