Fast, ligature-resistant solutions for doorways throughout your facility.
Now there is a simple way to make doorways safer in your hospital, correctional facility, schools or other institution. SELECT's TIPIT® hospital tips deter patients, inmates or students from handing objects from geared continuous hinges and injuring themselves. The ligature-resistant TIPIT® mounts securely to the door frame above the hinge with TORX® screws. In just minutes you will gain peace of mind for decades.
Three ways SELECT TIPITS increase safety and save money with geared continuous hinges:
- Replace worn-out hinges with SELECT's geared full surface, half surface or half mortise continuous hinges then mount a patented TIPIT® above them. You will save money by using your exisitng doors and frames. Plus, with SELECT hinges' durability, you will cut your maintance and repair costs for years, too.
- Specify patented TIPIT® for new construction. Order the ligature-resistant TIPIT® with new SELECT hinges or use with most other brands of geared continuous hinges.
- Use TIPIT® preps for doorways with geared concealed (full mortise) continuous hinges (excluding SL71). Make your doorways ligature resistant and aesthetically pleasing by eliminating exposed edges with our improved angle-cut TIPITS. They are easy-to-clean too.
