ABH 6817 Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset | Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 6817 is a professional-grade low profile push/pull latchset designed specifically for Right Hand (RH) door applications in high-traffic commercial and institutional environments. Often specified as the premier solution for door restoration in healthcare facilities, this latchset features a specialized Push Up / Pull Down handle orientation. Crafted from heavy-duty stainless steel, the 6817 model provides a sleek architectural look while serving as a robust solution for commercial door convenience and universal accessibility.

Specialized Ergonomics for Healthcare & High-Traffic Access

The ABH 6817 is engineered to facilitate effortless door transitions in fast-paced environments where hands-free access is a necessity:

• Intuitive Push Up / Pull Down Action: This specific configuration is optimized for Right Hand doors, allowing staff to activate the latch effortlessly with an elbow, arm, or hip—a vital solution for door surface repair and superior hygiene maintenance in sterile medical settings.
  
• Low Profile Architectural Footprint: With a slim cover projection of only 7/8" and a handle projection of 2-5/8", the 6817 significantly reduces the footprint on the door face. This prevents the hardware from catching on passing hospital stretchers or equipment carts.
  
• 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 provides a smoother, more fluid motion than traditional pivot-style latches, reducing mechanical friction and user effort.
  

Industrial Stability with Thru-Bolt Engineering

The ABH 6817 is a Grade 1 architectural component built to withstand the rigorous duty cycles of 24/7 institutions:

• Four Thru-Bolt Security: To ensure the unit remains rigid and perfectly aligned over time, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This heavy-duty "sandwich" installation provides maximum stability and serves as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the 6817 is naturally corrosion-resistant, easy to sanitize, and maintains a premium appearance in both clinical and executive environments.
  
• Field-Reversible Flexibility: While specifically handed for Right Hand openings, the internal cam holder assembly is field-reversible, offering a versatile solution for door restoration should door functions change during a renovation.
  
• 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.
