ABH 6811Q2 T US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABH 6800Q hospital latch fit my existing door prep, and what backsets does it come in?
The 6800Q is offered in four backsets: 2-3/4 inch, 3-3/4 inch, 5 inch, and 7 inch. The 2-3/4 inch is the standard cylindrical lock backset most commercial doors are already bored for, so that one drops into an existing prep. The longer 3-3/4, 5, and 7 inch backsets push the paddle further off the edge of the door, which is what you want when a pull side needs more knuckle clearance or the door has a wide stile or applied trim. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing cross bore before you pick.
2) How do I order the right handing and paddle direction on an ABH 6800Q push/pull latch?
Handing and paddle action are picked together as the model number. Left hand: 6811Q push down/pull up, 6812Q push up/pull down, 6813Q push up/pull up, 6814Q push down/pull down. Right hand: 6816Q push down/pull up, 6817Q push up/pull down, 6818Q push up/pull up, 6819Q push down/pull down. Handing is field reversible, so if you order the wrong hand you can flip it on site, with one exception: engraved handles lock you into the hand you ordered.
3) Which strike do I order with an ABH 6800Q, T-strike or ASA?
Two strikes are offered on the 6800Q: a 2-3/4 inch T-strike and a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. Match the strike to what the frame is already prepped for. Hollow metal frames with the standard ASA lip cutout take the 4-7/8 inch ASA strike and need no new frame work. The 2-3/4 inch T-strike is the smaller surface-style prep used on wood frames and on retrofits where you do not want to open up the jamb.
4) Is the ABH 6800Q hospital latch keyed or lockable?
No. The 6800Q is a passage latch, not keyed and with no locking function. Paddles operate the latch from both sides and there is no cylinder. If the opening needs to lock, a push/pull paddle is the wrong device. For a patient room that needs privacy, the Schlage ALX44 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed hospital privacy lock. For a room that needs to stay locked, look at a mortise storeroom lock such as the Schlage L9080BDC.
5) Is the ABH 6800Q a cylindrical or mortise hospital latch, and which should I use?
The 6800Q is cylindrical, a bored lockset that goes into a round cross bore in the door. That is the easier install and the usual choice when you are replacing a knob or lever on an existing bored door. If the doors in your building are already mortise prepped, you would be filling a mortise pocket to use this, and a mortise-body paddle set is the cleaner answer. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is a hospital push/pull mortise latch supplied as paddles only, less the mortise lock, for exactly that case.
6) What is the closest equivalent to an ABH 6800Q hospital push/pull latch from another manufacturer?
The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series Push/Pull Latch is the nearest peer. It is a tubular push/pull latch in a passage function with levers down, rated heavy duty. The ABH 6800Q is a low profile cylindrical push/pull latch with a 7/8 inch cover projection and 2-5/8 inch handle projection, offered in 2-3/4, 3-3/4, 5, and 7 inch backsets. Where the Trimco 1562A fixes the paddle direction as levers down, the 6800Q is ordered by model for the push and pull direction you want - 6811Q push down/pull up left hand through 6819Q push down/pull down right hand - and is field reversible for handing unless engraved handles are specified.
7) Can I use a Schlage HL6-9000RK instead of an ABH 6800Q on a patient room door?
Only if the door already carries a mortise lock. The Schlage HL6-9000RK is supplied as paddles only, less mortise lock, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and rated heavy duty - it is the trim half of a mortise assembly and needs a mortise lock body behind it. The ABH 6800Q is a self-contained cylindrical push/pull latch prepped for a bored opening, ordered with either a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike and in 2-3/4, 3-3/4, 5, or 7 inch backsets. On a bored door the 6800Q is the direct fit; on a mortise-prepped door the HL6-9000RK plus its lock body is the path.
8) What should I use instead of an ABH 6800Q if the patient room needs privacy locking?
The Schlage ALX44 hospital privacy lock covers that opening. It is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed lever lock in a hospital privacy function, rated medium duty. The ABH 6800Q is a push/pull latch with no keying at all - it latches and releases by pushing or pulling the paddle - so a door that has to be secured for privacy is an ALX44 opening rather than a 6800Q opening. Keep the 6800Q for corridor, treatment, and patient room doors that only need hands-free latching.
9) What makes the 6800Q different from a standard ABH 6800 hospital latch?
The Q is the quiet version. It is built for zero level ambient noise gain, meaning the latch does not add operating noise to the room when a paddle is worked. On a patient room door cycled dozens of times a night, that is the whole reason to specify it over a standard hospital latch. Everything else, the low profile cover and the paddle operation, works the same way.
10) How far does the ABH 6800Q stick out from the door face?
Cover projection is 7/8 inch and handle projection is 2-5/8 inch. That matters in a corridor where a door swings into a required clear width, and it matters where a gurney or bed rail passes close to the face of the door. Compared with a lever, the paddle carries no hook to catch a sleeve or an IV line.
11) Can I get an ABH 6800Q with a roller latch instead of a latchbolt?
Yes. A roller latch conversion kit is available as part number 601B. A roller latch lets the door be pushed open without operating the paddle at all, which is what you want on a door that staff go through with both hands full. If the opening is exit only and does not need a pull side function, the 6840 Series covers that.
12) Can an ABH 6800Q be lead lined for an X-ray or imaging room door?
Yes. Lead lining is an available option on the 6800Q, along with custom engraving and animal print finishes. Lead lined hardware is what keeps the cross bore from being a gap in the shielding on a radiology or imaging suite door, so specify it at order time rather than trying to add it later.
13) Is the ABH 6800Q hospital latch UL Listed, and does it qualify for a federally funded project?
The 6800Q is UL Listed, and it is BAA qualified, meaning it meets Buy American Act sourcing requirements. That combination is what a government, VA, or federally funded healthcare project needs on the submittal.
14) What is the difference between the ABH 6800Q and the Trimco 1562A hospital push/pull latch?
Both are hospital push/pull latches. The 6800Q is a cylindrical unit built for quiet operation, offered in four backsets from 2-3/4 to 7 inches and in eight finishes, with handing selected by model number. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular heavy duty passage latch with levers down. If you are matching an existing Trimco opening, the 1562A is the like-for-like; if the specification calls out quiet operation for patient rooms, that is the 6800Q.
15) Is the Kaba Ilco 459 push/pull paddle a substitute for an ABH 6800Q?
They are not the same class of part. The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle - the actuating trim - while the ABH 6800Q is a complete push/pull latch including the latching mechanism, supplied with either a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. If the existing latch stays in the door and only the paddle is being replaced, the 459 Series is the paddle-level part; if the whole latching function is being installed or replaced, the 6800Q carries it.
16) For a medication or supply room off a patient corridor, should I specify the ABH 6800Q or a storeroom lock?
A supply or medication room wants a keyed storeroom function, which the ABH 6800Q does not provide - it is a non-keyed push/pull latch. The Schlage L9080BDC is a mortise storeroom lock, single cylinder non-deadbolt function with a disposable SFIC, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Schlage L9070BDC is the classroom-function counterpart in the same heavy duty 1-3/4 inch mortise family. Many healthcare projects run the 6800Q on the patient room and treatment doors, where hands-free operation matters, and the L9080BDC on the secured rooms behind them.
17) Which hospital push/pull latch should I pick when the door is already prepped for a deep backset?
The ABH 6800Q is ordered in 2-3/4, 3-3/4, 5, and 7 inch backsets, so a door prepped beyond the standard 2-3/4 inch is still a stock configuration. Among the push/pull peers, the Trimco 1562A is a tubular passage latch with levers down and the Schlage HL6-9000RK is a paddles-only mortise trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, so on a bored door with a deep backset prep the 6800Q is the one selected by backset. Confirm the strike prep at the same time - the 6800Q takes a 2-3/4 inch T-strike or a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike.
18) Does the ABH 6800Q or the Schlage HL6-9000RK make more sense for a retrofit where I am keeping the existing lock body?
If the existing lock body is a mortise lock and it stays in the door, the Schlage HL6-9000RK is the part that fits that scenario - it is supplied as paddles only, less mortise lock, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The ABH 6800Q replaces the latching mechanism itself, so it is the choice when the whole unit is coming out or when the opening is bored rather than mortised. ABH also publishes a roller latch conversion kit, part number 601B, and exit-only models in the 6840 Series for openings that need a different configuration.
19) What finishes does the ABH 6800Q hospital push/pull latch come in?
Eight finishes are available on the 6800Q: bright brass, bright bronze, bright stainless steel, oil rubbed bronze, satin brass, satin bronze, satin chrome, and satin stainless steel. For a healthcare facility standardizing across a wing, satin stainless steel is the usual pick because it hides wear and cleaning chemical marks better than a bright plated finish. Note that finish and backset are ordered separately, so confirm the combination you need when you place the order.
20) Is the ABH 6800Q rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential latch?
Commercial. The 6800Q is built for hospital patient rooms, treatment areas, nursing homes, rehab centers, and outpatient surgery centers, which are among the highest cycle openings in any building. It is not a residential product and there is no residential version of it.
21) I need to match the finish across a floor of patient room doors - how does the ABH 6800Q compare to the other hospital latches on finish range?
The ABH 6800Q is offered in Bright Brass, Bright Bronze, Bright Stainless Steel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Brass, Satin Bronze, Satin Chrome, and Satin Stainless Steel, so a floor standardizing on one finish can carry it across every backset and handing in the series. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular passage push/pull latch with levers down and the Schlage ALX44 is a Grade 2 hospital privacy lever, both of which fill a different role on the door; if the corridor mixes push/pull doors with privacy doors, the finish decision has to be made across those two families rather than within one.
