ABH 6812 Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset | Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 6812 is a professional-grade low profile push/pull latchset specifically engineered for high-traffic healthcare, institutional, and commercial environments. Designed with a specialized Push Up / Pull Down handle orientation, the 6812 model is a premier solution for door restoration in facilities that prioritize ergonomic access and modern aesthetics. Crafted from high-durability stainless steel, this latchset provides a sleek architectural look while serving as a heavy-duty solution for commercial door convenience and universal accessibility.

Specialized Ergonomics for Healthcare & Clean Rooms

The ABH 6812 is optimized for hands-free operation, making it a critical component for hospitals, surgical suites, and laboratories:

• Intuitive Push Up / Pull Down Action: This configuration is typically utilized for Left Hand (LH) door applications, allowing staff to activate the latch effortlessly with an elbow, arm, or hip—a vital solution for door surface repair and superior hygiene maintenance.
  
• Low Profile Architectural Footprint: With a compact cover projection of only 7/8" and a handle projection of 2-5/8", the 6812 minimizes the risk of the hardware catching on passing stretchers, equipment carts, or pedestrians.
  
• ADA Compliant Accessibility: Engineered to require less than 5 lbs of force for operation, ensuring the opening remains fully accessible and in total compliance with ADA requirements.
• Patented Linear Acting Cam: Features a high-efficiency internal cam (Patent #7,258,374) that ensures a smoother, more fluid motion than traditional pivot-style latches, significantly reducing mechanical friction.
  

Industrial Stability with Thru-Bolt Engineering

The ABH 6812 is a Grade 1 architectural latchset built to withstand millions of cycles in the most demanding 24/7 institutions:

• Four Thru-Bolt Mounting: To prevent sagging, wobbling, or loosening, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a high-strength "sandwich" connection that distributes force across the door face, serving as a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), this unit is naturally corrosion-resistant and withstands the aggressive disinfectants used in medical environments while maintaining its premium appearance.
  
• Field-Reversible Flexibility: While typically handed for precision at the time of order, the internal cam holder assembly is field-reversible, offering a flexible solution for door restoration if door swings are modified on-site.
  
• UL Fire Rated Protection: UL Listed for use on fire-rated doors (up to 90 minutes), ensuring your facility meets the highest standards for life safety and fire code compliance.
