ABH 6818Q Low Profile Quiet Push/Pull Latchset | Satin Stainless Steel

The ABH 6818Q is a high-performance low profile quiet push/pull latchset designed specifically for Right Hand (RH) door applications in environments where silent operation is a clinical or professional requirement. Engineered as a premier solution for commercial door convenience, this "Quiet Hospital Latch" features a specialized Push Up / Pull Up handle orientation. By incorporating a patented linear acting cam, the 6818Q achieves zero decibel ambient noise gain, making it the definitive choice for healthcare facilities, quiet zones, and luxury office suites.

The Silent Standard for Healthcare & High-End Offices

In high-performance facilities, hardware should be felt, not heard. The ABH 6818Q is designed to provide a seamless, whisper-quiet experience that supports both patient healing and workplace productivity:

• Zero-Decibel Quiet Technology: The "Q" series is the industry benchmark for noise-sensitive zones. It provides a permanent solution for door restoration by replacing standard, clacking hardware with a dampened mechanism that eliminates mechanical noise during latching and unlatching.
• Ergonomic Push Up / Pull Up Action: This specific 6818Q configuration is optimized for Right Hand doors, featuring an upward handle motion on both sides. This allows for effortless, hands-free operation—a critical solution for door surface repair and superior hygiene maintenance in medical settings.
  
• Patented Linear Acting Cam: Built with an advanced internal cam (Patent #7,258,374), this latchset provides a fluid, frictionless motion that is significantly smoother than traditional pivoting mechanisms, extending the life of the hardware.
  
• ADA Compliant Accessibility: Engineered to require less than 5 lbs of force for activation, ensuring your facility remains fully accessible and in compliance with all ADA requirements.
  

Industrial Stability with Thru-Bolt Engineering

The ABH 6818Q is a Grade 1 architectural component designed for high-abuse, high-frequency environments. It acts as a robust solution for door edge reinforcement through its superior mounting architecture:

• Four Thru-Bolt Mounting: To ensure the unit never sags, wobbles, or pulls loose, the trim is mounted using four thru bolts. This creates a secure, reinforced "sandwich" connection that is significantly more durable than standard hardware held only by surface screws.
  
• Architectural Satin Stainless Steel: Finished in US32D (630), the 6818Q is naturally corrosion-resistant and easy to sanitize, maintaining a premium look in luxury office interiors or sterile hospital patient rooms.
  
• Field-Reversible Handing: While specifically handed for Right Hand openings, the internal cam holder assembly is field-reversible, providing a versatile solution for door restoration if project requirements change on-site.
  
• UL Fire Rated: Listed for use on fire doors rated up to 90 minutes, ensuring your facility meets the highest life safety and fire code standards.
