ABH 6813Q Low Profile Quiet Push/Pull Latchset – Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH Manufacturing 6813Q is a commercial-grade, low profile quiet push/pull latchset finished in satin stainless steel. Engineered for high-traffic institutional and commercial openings where noise reduction, clean aesthetics, and long-term durability are priorities, the 6813Q delivers a reliable latching solution with a reduced projection profile — keeping the hardware unobtrusive while maintaining the robust performance demanded by contractors, facility managers, and architects alike.

ABH Manufacturing is a recognized name in architectural door hardware, widely specified on schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and institutional projects. The 6813Q push/pull latchset is designed to work in tandem — offering a push function on one side and a pull latch function on the other — making it ideal for doors that require controlled one-way or two-way traffic flow without a keyed or lever lockset.

Key Features & Benefits

• Low Profile Design: Reduced projection from the door face keeps the hardware trim and minimizes snag or impact hazards in busy corridors and institutional environments.
• Quiet Operation: The ‘Q’ designation indicates engineered quiet latch mechanics, reducing noise — a valued feature in healthcare, education, and office settings.
• Satin Stainless Steel Finish: Corrosion-resistant and easy to clean; ideal for high-contact surfaces in healthcare, food service, and institutional applications. Satin stainless maintains appearance over time and can be restored to original finish if needed.
• Push/Pull Latchset Configuration: Combines a push function (no hardware grip required on the push side) with a pull latch mechanism on the opposite side — supporting ADA-accessible design goals where appropriate.
• Commercial-Grade Construction: Built to ABH Manufacturing standards for durability in high-frequency commercial openings including schools, offices, hospitals, and government facilities.

Typical Applications

• Interior commercial doors in office buildings, schools, and universities
• Healthcare and hospital corridor doors requiring quiet, hygienic hardware
• Government and institutional facilities specifying low-profile architectural hardware
• Retail and hospitality environments where aesthetics and function must coexist
• Replacement push/pull latchset on existing commercial openings

The ABH 6813Q represents the pinnacle of silent door hardware, serving as the premier solution for commercial door convenience in environments where noise control is a clinical or professional necessity. Specifically engineered for healthcare facilities, quiet zones, and high-end commercial offices, this low profile quiet push/pull latchset features a specialized Push Up / Pull Up handle orientation. By utilizing a patented linear acting cam, the 6813Q eliminates the disruptive mechanical "clack" of traditional hardware, achieving zero decibel ambient noise gain for a truly silent opening.

The Ultimate Silent Solution for Hospitals & Executive Suites

In high-performance facilities, the sound of a door latching shouldn't disturb a patient's rest or an executive's focus. The ABH 6813Q provides a sophisticated, whisper-quiet experience:

• Zero-Decibel Quiet Technology: The "Q" series is the industry benchmark for noise-sensitive zones. It provides a definitive solution for door restoration by replacing noisy, standard latches with a dampened mechanism that prevents acoustic disturbance.
• Specialized Push Up / Pull Up Action: The 6813Q configuration is often selected for specific ergonomic workflows or specialized facility requirements, allowing for effortless, hands-free operation via an elbow or arm—a vital solution for door surface repair and superior hygiene.
• Patented Linear Acting Cam: Unlike standard pivoting latches that can feel "sticky" or loud, the internal linear cam (Patent #7,258,374) ensures a fluid, frictionless motion that extends the life of the hardware.
  
• ADA Compliant Accessibility: This latchset requires less than 5 lbs of force to operate, ensuring your facility remains fully accessible and compliant with all ADA requirements.

Heavy-Duty Stability with Thru-Bolt Engineering

The ABH 6813Q is a Grade 1 architectural component designed for extreme duty cycles. It serves as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement through its high-strength mounting architecture:

• Four Thru-Bolt Security: To ensure the unit never sags or pulls loose under heavy use, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a secure "sandwich" on the door, offering significantly more durability than hardware held by simple surface screws.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the 6813Q is naturally corrosion-resistant, easy to sanitize, and maintains a premium look in luxury office interiors or sterile medical environments.
• Field-Reversible Handing: While typically specified during the ordering process, the internal cam holder is field-reversible, providing a versatile solution for door restoration if room functions or door swings change.
• UL Fire Rated: Listed for use on fire doors rated up to 90 minutes, ensuring the highest standards of life safety are maintained.
