ABH 6814 Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset – Satin Stainless Steel (US32D)

The ABH Manufacturing 6814 Low Profile Push/Pull Latchset in Satin Stainless Steel (US32D / 630) is a commercial-grade door pull and latch assembly engineered for high-traffic institutional and commercial openings. ABH Manufacturing is a preferred DoorwaysPlus hardware line known for stable, service-friendly product designs. This latchset delivers the clean, low-projection profile required on corridor doors, office entries, healthcare facilities, schools, and government buildings where a traditional knob or lever set is not appropriate and a sleek push/pull format is specified.

The US32D satin stainless steel finish (equivalent to finish code 630) resists corrosion and fingerprinting, making it well suited for high-touch environments such as hospitals, laboratories, and institutional corridors. Stainless steel hardware can be refinished to its original appearance throughout the life of the building, reducing long-term replacement costs.

Key Benefits

• Low profile design — minimal projection from door face for ADA-friendly, clean architectural appearance
• Satin Stainless Steel (US32D) — corrosion-resistant finish ideal for healthcare, education, and institutional applications

The ABH 6814 is a high-performance low profile push/pull latchset designed specifically for the rigorous demands of healthcare facilities, laboratories, and high-traffic commercial environments. Featuring a specialized Push Down / Pull Down handle orientation, the 6814 is a premier solution for door restoration that optimizes ergonomics and accessibility. 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.

Specialized Ergonomics for Healthcare & High-Traffic Access

The ABH 6814 is engineered to facilitate effortless door transitions in fast-paced environments where hands-free access is a necessity:

• Intuitive Push Down / Pull Down Action: This specific configuration allows users to activate the latch with a natural downward motion on both sides of the door. This is an ideal solution for door surface repair in medical environments where staff frequently use elbows or hips to open doors while transporting equipment or maintaining sterile protocols.
• Low Profile Architectural Footprint: With a slim cover projection of only 7/8" and a handle projection of 2-5/8", the 6814 minimizes the footprint on the door face. This significantly reduces the risk of the hardware catching on passing hospital stretchers, equipment carts, or pedestrians in narrow corridors.
  
• 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 6814 is a Grade 1 architectural component built to withstand millions of cycles in the most demanding 24/7 institutions:

• Four Thru-Bolt Mounting: To prevent sagging, wobbling, or hardware failure over time, 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.
