ABH 6811 Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset | Satin Stainless Steel  

The ABH 6811 is an architectural-grade low profile push/pull latchset designed for high-frequency use in healthcare, institutional, and commercial settings. Often utilized as the primary solution for door restoration in hospitals and clinics, this latchset features a specialized Push Down / Pull Up handle orientation that allows for effortless, hands-free operation. Crafted from heavy-duty stainless steel, the 6811 model provides a sleek, modern aesthetic while serving as a robust solution for commercial door convenience and universal accessibility.

Specialized Design for Healthcare & High-Traffic Access

The ABH 6811 is engineered to simplify door transitions for staff, patients, and visitors, making it an essential component for facility-wide hardware upgrades:

• Ergonomic Push Down / Pull Up Action: This specific configuration is optimized for Left Hand (LH) doors (though field-reversible), allowing users to easily open the door with an elbow or hip—a vital solution for door surface repair and superior hygiene protocols in sterile environments.
• Low Profile Architectural Trim: With a minimal cover projection of only 7/8", the 6811 significantly reduces the footprint on the door face. This prevents the hardware from catching on passing hospital stretchers, equipment carts, or pedestrians in narrow corridors.
  
• ADA Compliant Operation: Requires less than 5 lbs of force to activate, ensuring the opening remains fully accessible and compliant with all ADA requirements.
  
• Patented Linear Acting Cam: Features a high-efficiency internal cam (Patent #7,258,374) that provides a smoother, more fluid motion compared to traditional pivot-style latches, reducing mechanical friction and user effort.
  

Heavy-Duty Structural Stability

The ABH 6811 is a Grade 1 component built to withstand the constant stress of 24/7 institutional use. It serves as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement through its superior mounting architecture:

• Four Thru-Bolt Security: To ensure the unit remains rigid and aligned, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a high-strength "sandwich" connection that prevents the hardware from sagging or pulling loose, even in high-abuse environments.
  
• Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the 6811 is naturally resistant to oxidation and aggressive medical-grade disinfectants, ensuring a long-lasting architectural appearance.
  
• Field-Reversible Handing: The internal cam holder assembly can be easily reversed in the field, providing a flexible solution for door restoration if room functions or door swings change post-installation.
  
• UL Fire Rated Protection: Listed in the U.S. and Canada for use on fire-rated doors (up to 90 minutes), ensuring safety compliance is maintained in critical life-safety openings.
