ABH 6500 Series Push/Pull Privacy Latchset | Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 6500 Series is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 push/pull privacy latchset engineered specifically for patient bathrooms and commercial spaces where accessible privacy is essential. As a premier solution for commercial door security, this latchset features a specialized Push Side Locking configuration. With a locking thumbturn on the push side and an emergency override knob on the pull side, the 6500 Series is the definitive solution for door restoration in modern healthcare facilities.

Specialized Privacy for Clinical & Patient Environments

The ABH 6500 is designed to provide reliable privacy while maintaining critical emergency access. It is the architectural standard for high-traffic patient rooms and private clinical restrooms:

• Integrated Push-Side Locking: Unlike the 6400 series, the 6500 places the locking thumbturn on the push side of the door. This allows patients to easily secure the door from the inside, while the emergency override knob remains accessible on the pull side—a vital safety solution for door restoration.
  
• Intuitive Hands-Free Accessibility: Featuring large, ergonomic paddles, the 6500 series meets ADA requirements for effortless operation. It can be easily activated with an elbow or arm, providing a sanitary solution for door surface repair by minimizing direct hand contact.
  
• Smooth Continuous Spring Action: Utilizing a patented internal spring design, this latchset provides a superior tactile feel and ensures the handles return to center every time, reducing mechanical fatigue and extending the life of the unit.
  
• Non-Handed Versatility: The hardware is field-reversible and non-handed, making installation straightforward on both left and right-hand doors and simplifying inventory for facility maintenance teams.
  

Industrial-Grade Stability with Thru-Bolt Security

The ABH 6500 Series is built to withstand the extreme duty cycles of 24/7 hospital environments. It acts as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement through its high-strength mounting architecture:

• Four Thru-Bolt Mounting: To ensure the unit remains rigid and never pulls loose from the door face, the trim is secured using four thru bolts. This heavy-duty "sandwich" installation distributes force evenly, providing a permanent solution for door restoration that prevents the hardware from sagging or wobbling.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), this latchset is naturally corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize, standing up to the aggressive medical-grade disinfectants used in sterile environments.
  
• UL Fire Rated Protection: UL Listed for use on fire doors rated up to 90 minutes, ensuring your facility remains fully compliant with all life safety and fire codes.
  
• Universal Door Prep: Designed to fit standard government #161 door cutouts, allowing for a seamless solution for commercial door security when upgrading existing hardware.
