ABH 68112 T US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I pick the right ABH 6800 model number for my door handing and push/pull direction?
Handing and paddle action are both in the model number. Left hand: 6811 push down/pull up, 6812 push up/pull down, 6813 push up/pull up, 6814 push down/pull down. Right hand: 6816 push down/pull up, 6817 push up/pull down, 6818 push up/pull up, 6819 push down/pull down. Pick the handing of the door first, then the paddle motion your facility standardizes on. The handing is field reversible by flipping the cam holder assembly on the backside, so one unit covers either swing if you get the direction wrong on site.
2) What latch backset do I order for an ABH 6800 push/pull latch?
Four backsets are offered on the 6800: 2-3/4 inch, 3-3/4 inch, 5 inch and 7 inch. 2-3/4 is the standard commercial bored backset and covers most existing prepped doors. The longer 3-3/4, 5 and 7 inch backsets are for doors with wide stiles or glass lites where the bore has to sit further off the edge. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing cross bore before ordering.
3) Will the ABH 6800 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It depends which strike your frame is prepped for. The 6800 ships with either a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, so match the option to the existing frame cutout. The latch bolt throws 1/2 inch, which is a standard cylindrical latch throw, so an existing bored-lock frame prep in either of those two patterns will take it without new frame work.
4) Should I use a push/pull hospital latch or a lever handle on patient room doors?
A hospital push/pull latch like the ABH 6800 is a passage device operated with a forearm, hip or elbow, which is why it shows up on patient rooms, treatment areas and corridors where staff have their hands full and infection control matters. It does not lock. If the door needs privacy for a patient toilet or exam room, a lever lock such as the Schlage ALX44 hospital privacy lock is the right call instead. If the room needs to be secured, that is a keyed function and neither of those covers it.
5) Is the ABH 6800 hospital latch ADA compliant for a healthcare facility?
Yes, the 6800 Series is ADA compliant, and it is a commercial-duty device. Push/pull paddle operation requires no tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist, which is the operable-hardware requirement that drives ADA on patient room and corridor doors.
6) What is the difference between the ABH 6800 and a Schlage HL6 hospital push/pull latch?
The ABH 6800 is a cylindrical (bored) latch, so it goes into a standard bored door prep with a 2-3/4 to 7 inch backset. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is a mortise-based set supplied as paddles only, less the mortise lock, for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it needs a mortise pocket in the door and a separate mortise lock body. Trimco's 1562A Hospital Series is another tubular passage push/pull with levers down. If your doors are already bored, the 6800 or the Trimco go in; the Schlage does not without mortising.
7) Which push/pull hospital latch should I specify for a 90 minute fire-rated healthcare door?
The ABH 6800 Series is UL Listed in the U.S.A. and Canada for fire-rated doors up to 90 minutes and 4'0" x 8'0", and is ADA compliant, which makes it the one to specify when the drawing calls out both a fire rating and accessible hardware. Among the push/pull peers, the Schlage HL6-9000RK is a heavy duty hospital push/pull mortise latch supplied as paddles only, and the Trimco 1562A is a heavy duty tubular passage push/pull latch - both are trim and latch decisions made against whatever the door's existing prep and lock body require. For a facility standardizing across a fire-rated corridor, the 6800 also carries BAA qualification, which matters on federally funded healthcare work.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the ABH 6800 hospital push/pull latch from another brand?
The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series Push/Pull Latch is the nearest peer in the same format: a tubular hospital push/pull latch in passage function, levers down, rated heavy duty. The ABH 6800 is a low profile cylindrical push/pull latch, field-reversible by reversing the cam holder assembly on the backside, trim mounted with four thru-bolts. The 1562A comes as a fixed levers-down configuration, where the 6800 is ordered by model to set the paddle action - 6811 push down/pull up LH, 6812 push up/pull down LH, 6813 push up/pull up LH, 6814 push down/pull down LH, and the 6816 through 6819 right-hand equivalents. If the opening needs a specific push and pull direction pairing, the 6800 model list is where that choice is made.
9) I need push/pull paddles on a door that already has a mortise lock body - is the ABH 6800 the right part?
No. The ABH 6800 is a complete low profile cylindrical push/pull latch, supplied with its own 1/2 inch throw latch bolt and ordered with a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. For a door where the mortise lock body stays in place and only the trim changes, the Schlage HL6-9000RK is the part built for that job: it is a hospital push/pull mortise latch supplied as paddles only, less mortise lock, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 6800 is also built for 1-3/4 inch standard door thickness, so the deciding factor is not the door - it is whether you are replacing the whole latch or just the trim on an existing mortise lock.
10) The patient room door needs privacy, not passage - what do I order instead of the ABH 6800?
The ABH 6800 is a passage latch: it has no keyed function and no locking, so it will not secure a patient toilet or exam room. For hospital privacy on a cylindrical prep, the Schlage ALX44 is the direct answer - a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed lever lock in hospital privacy function, medium duty. Trade-off to know going in: the ALX44 is a lever, so you give up the hands-free paddle operation the 6800 provides. Where the door needs privacy at the toilet and push/pull at the corridor, those are two different openings and two different parts.
11) Can I use the ABH 6800 on a medication or supply room door that has to lock?
No - the ABH 6800 is a passage push/pull latch with no keyed function, so it latches but does not lock. For a secured supply, med, or storage room, the Schlage L9080BDC is a mortise storeroom lock, single cylinder non-deadbolt function with disposable SFIC, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the room is a classroom-function opening instead - locked and unlocked from the outside by key while the inside always egresses - the Schlage L9070BDC is the same mortise platform in classroom function. Both are mortise prep; the 6800 is a cylindrical bored prep, so this is a door prep decision as much as a function one.
12) Does the ABH 6800 hospital latch qualify for a federally funded project under Buy American?
BAA qualified, yes. That matters on VA hospitals, military medical facilities and other federally funded healthcare work where domestic sourcing is written into the spec. Government and institutional buyers standardizing a facility can carry the 6800 on those jobs.
13) What finishes does the ABH 6800 push/pull latch come in to match the rest of my building?
Eight finishes: bright brass, bright bronze, bright stainless steel, oil rubbed bronze, satin brass, satin bronze, satin chrome and satin stainless steel. Satin stainless is the usual pick in healthcare corridors because it hides wear and cleans well; satin chrome matches most existing commercial lever trim.
14) Does the ABH 6800 hospital latch take a key or lock the room?
No. The 6800 is passage function only, with no keyed cylinder and no locking function. Push one paddle, pull the other, the door opens from both sides at all times. If a door on your job needs to lock, you need a different device on that opening, such as a Schlage L9080BDC mortise storeroom lock for a supply or utility room.
15) Where do I get the drilling template for an ABH 6800 hospital latch install?
ABH publishes a 6800 Series template for the standard install plus a separate 6800 vertical backset template for the longer offsets, and a cut sheet with the full dimensional detail. Get the template before you drill, especially on a 5 or 7 inch backset where the bore sits well off the door edge and there is no recovering a mislocated hole in a fire rated door.
16) Is a push/pull paddle the same thing as the ABH 6800 latch?
Not necessarily - the term covers two different parts. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle, meaning the operating trim itself. The ABH 6800 is a complete low profile cylindrical push/pull latch: paddle trim plus the latch mechanism, ordered with the backset and strike the door is prepped for and mounted with four thru-bolts. If you order paddle trim expecting a working latch, you will be short the latching hardware. Confirm what the door already holds before choosing between the two.
17) My door has a deep backset that a standard hospital latch will not reach - what are my options?
The ABH 6800 covers 2-3/4 inch, 3-3/4 inch, 5 inch, and 7 inch latch backsets, so the deeper preps common on wide healthcare stiles are handled within the same series rather than by switching platforms. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular hospital push/pull latch in passage function, and the Schlage HL6-9000RK is a mortise-format hospital push/pull supplied as paddles only for 1-3/4 inch doors - different prep families, so measure the existing bore and backset first. The 6800 is also available with either a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike to match the frame prep already in the jamb.
18) I am standardizing hospital door hardware across a facility - how do the ABH 6800 and the Schlage ALX44 differ in duty?
The Schlage ALX44 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed lever lock in hospital privacy function, rated medium duty. The ABH 6800 is a commercial low profile cylindrical push/pull latch built for hospital patient rooms, treatment areas, corridors, and long-term care, with a linear acting cam and one continuous spring for extended service life, UL Listed for 90 minute fire doors and ADA compliant. They answer different needs on a floor plan: the ALX44 where a room requires privacy, the 6800 where hands-free push/pull operation on a passage opening is the requirement. Facilities commonly carry both and assign them by opening type.
19) Can I get ABH 6800 hospital paddles engraved for patient room or department labeling?
Yes. ABH publishes a push/pull latch engraving options sheet covering what can be marked on the paddles, and a separate hospital push/pull latch options sheet for the other add-ons on the 6800. Facilities standardizing signage across a wing usually settle the engraving text before the order goes in, since it is not a field change.
