Hospitals and behavioral health facilities require unique solutions. Staff needs include unimpeded access to patient rooms for quick response. Ives also offers rescue hardware designed to address a blocked doorway caused by an incapacitated patient. Used in conjunction with center hung pivots, rescue hardware allows a bi-directional door swing in emergency situations. 

Patient safety may also mean preventing self harm. To improve patient safety, Ives offers ligature-resistant hospital tip option (HT) for architectural hinges and 700 Series pin and barrel continuous hinges includes an angle machined channel cover and bearing to provide a flush angled surface. Must be ordered in exact lengths.

A fire door in a health care facility helps deter the spread of smoke, flames, and toxic gases during a fire by compartmentalizing the building. The code requirements for fire doors focus on keeping the door closed and latched during a fire. Ives offers a range of solutions for hanging fire-rated doors, including architectural hinges, continuous hinges, and pivots. One of the cardinal rules of fire doors is that they are required to be positive-latching – there must be an active latchbolt that automatically latches the door when it comes to a close. Ives offers solutions that aid in proper latching, including flush bolts, surface bolts, and coordinators, ensuring compliance with NFPA 80 standards for fire doors and other opening protectives. Consult your local authority having jurisdiction for specific fire codes relating to fire-rated doors.

One of the easiest ways to reduce touches to door handles, thereby decreasing the spread of germs, is to use hands-free pulls instead of levers. Not only can this provide a healthier environment for your health care facility, but many styles meet ADA requirements.

Ives offers hands-free pulls in a variety of styles and designs that enable pedestrians to operate doors with their arm, elbow, or wrist, avoiding contact with their hands. These hands-free pulls are suitable for wood and metal doors and are made from durable, rust-free brass or stainless steel.

Ives offers antimicrobial coated door pulls designed to improve the cleanliness of frequently touched surfaces, such as entries in health care facilities or areas where regular cleaning may be less frequent. The antimicrobial coating is specifically formulated to inhibit the growth of bacteria by interrupting cell multiplication. Silver ions in the coating surround bacterial cells, blocking food sources and slowing the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew. These antimicrobial finishes maintain the product's standard warranty, ensuring long-lasting protection. Ideal for high-traffic public areas, Ives antimicrobial coated door hardware enhances safety by reducing bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces. For highly corrosive environments, we recommend using the 630-AM Antimicrobial finish to ensure optimal durability and protection.
