ABH 6813 Stainless Steel Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset

The ABH Manufacturing 6813 is a commercial-grade low profile push/pull latchset finished in satin stainless steel — purpose-built for high-traffic openings where clean aesthetics, durability, and reliable latching performance are all required. ABH Manufacturing is a recognized name in architectural door hardware, and the 6813 latchset reflects that heritage with a streamlined, low-projection design suited to institutional, healthcare, education, and commercial office applications.

The low profile configuration keeps hardware projection minimal against the door face, reducing snag points in corridors, patient rooms, and public spaces. The satin stainless steel construction resists corrosion and surface wear, making it an appropriate choice for demanding environments including hospitals, schools, government facilities, and retail interiors where hardware must maintain appearance over years of use.

Key Benefits

• Low Profile Design: Reduced projection from the door face minimizes snag risk and delivers a clean, contemporary appearance consistent with modern architectural specifications.
• Satin Stainless Steel Finish: Corrosion-resistant finish well-suited for institutional and healthcare environments; maintains appearance under frequent cleaning and high contact.
• Push/Pull Latchset Configuration: Provides secure latching with easy push-side and pull-side operation — no lever or knob manipulation required, simplifying passage in high-traffic or hands-free priority areas.
• Commercial-Grade Construction: Engineered by ABH Manufacturing for durability in demanding commercial and institutional applications.
• Architectural Compatibility: Designed to complement hollow metal doors and frames as well as wood commercial doors in standard commercial openings.

Typical Applications

• Hospital corridors, patient rooms, and clinical spaces
• School and university interior openings
• Government and municipal buildings
• Office interiors and commercial tenant spaces
• Retail storefronts and service corridors
• Any commercial opening where push/pull operation is preferred over lever or knob hardware

The ABH 6813 is a high-performance low profile push/pull latchset engineered for the rigorous demands of healthcare facilities, clean rooms, and institutional settings. Featuring a specialized Push Up / Pull Up handle orientation, the 6813 is a premier solution for door restoration that optimizes ergonomics for medical staff and maintenance personnel. Crafted from Grade 1 architectural stainless steel, this latchset provides a sleek, modern aesthetic while serving as a heavy-duty solution for commercial door convenience and universal accessibility.

Specialized Ergonomics for Healthcare & High-Traffic Use

The ABH 6813 is designed to facilitate effortless door transitions in fast-paced environments where hands-free access is a necessity:

• Intuitive Push Up / Pull Up Action: This unique configuration allows users to activate the latch with an upward motion on both sides of the door. This is an ideal solution for door surface repair in environments where staff frequently use elbows or hips to open doors while transporting equipment.
  
• Low Profile Architectural Footprint: With a slim cover projection of 7/8" and a handle projection of 2-5/8", the 6811 series minimizes the footprint on the door face, significantly reducing the risk of the hardware 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 extending the life of the hardware.
  

Industrial Stability with Thru-Bolt Engineering

The ABH 6813 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 hardware failure, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a high-strength "sandwich" connection through the door, 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 room functions change.
• 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.
