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

The ABH 6811Q is an architectural-grade low profile quiet push/pull latchset specifically designed for environments where noise control and ease of access are top priorities. Frequently referred to as the "Quiet Hospital Latch," the 6811Q model is engineered with a patented linear acting cam that provides a nearly silent operation, making it the premier solution for push/pull latchsets in healthcare facilities, quiet zones, and high-end commercial offices.

Zero-Decibel Performance for Healing Environments

The "Q" designation in the ABH 6811Q stands for "Quiet." This hardware is uniquely built to eliminate the sharp mechanical clicking noises common in standard latches, promoting a more peaceful environment for patient recovery:

• Ambient Noise Reduction: Engineered for a fluid, muffled movement that achieves virtually zero decibel noise gain, ensuring it won't disturb occupants in sensitive areas.
  
• ADA Compliant Operation: With a light touch required to activate the push/pull motion, this latchset meets ADA requirements for effortless, hands-free operation using an elbow or arm—a vital solution for commercial door security and hygiene.
  
• Patented Linear Cam: The internal mechanism utilizes a linear acting cam (Patent #7,258,374) that provides a much smoother feel and longer service life than traditional pivoting latches.
  
• Satin Stainless Steel Finish: The US32D (630) finish is not only aesthetically modern but also highly resistant to the harsh cleaning chemicals used in medical facilities.

Heavy-Duty Structural Stability

The ABH 6811Q isn't just quiet; it’s built for the high-abuse cycles of a busy 24/7 facility:

• Thru-Bolt Mounting: Unlike inferior latches that rely on surface screws, this unit is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a "sandwich" effect on the door, providing maximum stability and serving as a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement.
  
• Field-Reversible Handing: While the unit is typically handed upon order, the cam holder assembly is designed to be easily reversible in the field, offering a flexible solution for door surface repair if site conditions change.
• Standard Door Compatibility: Fits standard 1-3/4” thick doors and comes with a 2-3/4” backset, making it an easy drop-in replacement for existing commercial hardware.
  
• UL Fire Rated: Listed in the U.S. and Canada for use on fire-rated doors (up to 90 minutes), supporting openings up to 4’0” x 8’0”.

Why Choose the ABH 6811Q?

In a modern facility, hardware should be felt, not heard. The ABH 6811Q is the definitive choice for hospitals, libraries, and laboratories that demand heavy-duty durability without the acoustic penalty. Its low profile design prevents it from catching on passing carts or equipment, further protecting the door from impact. By utilizing thru bolts for installation, ABH ensures that even under the stress of thousands of cycles, the latchset remains tight and perfectly aligned.
