ABH 6812Q Low Profile Quiet Push/Pull Latchset – Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 6812Q is a commercial-grade, low profile quiet push/pull latchset finished in satin stainless steel. Designed for high-traffic institutional and commercial openings where noise reduction and a streamlined profile matter, the 6812Q delivers smooth, quiet latching action in a durable stainless steel construction. ABH Manufacturing is a respected name in architectural door hardware accessories, and this latchset reflects their commitment to functional, specification-ready hardware for demanding environments.

Push/pull latchsets of this type are a standard hardware schedule item for interior commercial openings — particularly in healthcare facilities, educational buildings, government offices, and corporate interiors — where a traditional knob or lever lockset is unnecessary and a clean, low-projection pull/push trim is preferred. The quiet operation makes the 6812Q well-suited for libraries, patient care corridors, conference areas, and any space where latch noise is a concern.

Key Benefits

• Low profile design — minimizes door projection for high-traffic corridors and ADA-friendly clearances
• Quiet latch mechanism — engineered to reduce noise on each open/close cycle, ideal for noise-sensitive environments
• Satin stainless steel finish — corrosion-resistant, durable, and easy to clean; well-suited for healthcare, institutional, and commercial settings
• Push/pull function — allows free passage without a rotating handle, appropriate for openings that do not require keyed or privacy security
• ABH Manufacturing quality — a preferred brand for commercial door hardware accessories with a stable product line

Typical Applications

• Hospital and healthcare corridor doors
• School and university interior doors
• Office and corporate interior openings
• Library and conference room doors
• Government and institutional facilities
• Any commercial interior opening requiring quiet, low-profile latching

The Premier Silent Solution for Healthcare & Quiet Zones

In high-traffic professional settings, hardware must perform without becoming a source of noise pollution. The ABH 6812Q is engineered to provide a seamless, whisper-quiet experience:

• Zero-Decibel Quiet Technology: The "Q" series is the industry standard for noise-sensitive areas. It eliminates the disruptive metallic "clack" of traditional latches, providing a definitive solution for door restoration where acoustic comfort is a priority.
• Intuitive Push Up / Pull Down Action: Unlike the standard push-down models, the 6812Q configuration is specifically requested for specialized workflows, allowing for effortless, hands-free operation—a vital solution for door surface repair and hygiene maintenance.
• Patented Linear Acting Cam: Built with a high-efficiency internal cam (Patent #7,258,374), this latchset provides a smoother, more consistent feel than traditional pivoting mechanisms, significantly reducing user effort and mechanical wear.
  
• ADA Compliant & Accessible: Requires less than 5 lbs of force to activate, ensuring your facility remains fully accessible and compliant with all ADA requirements.
  

Heavy-Duty Stability with Thru-Bolt Security

The ABH 6812Q is a Grade 1 architectural component designed for a lifetime of frequent use. It serves as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement through its superior mounting design:

• Four Thru-Bolt Mounting: This latchset is secured using four thru bolts for maximum stability. This "clamping" installation ensures the trim never sags, wobbles, or pulls loose from the door, even in high-abuse hospital environments.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the 6812Q is naturally corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize, making it ideal for sterile environments and luxury office interiors.
  
• Field-Reversible Handing: While typically specified at the time of order, the internal cam holder is field-reversible, offering a flexible solution for door restoration if project requirements change on-site.
  
• UL Fire Rated: Listed for use on fire doors rated up to 90 minutes, ensuring your safety compliance is never compromised.
