Don-Jo 1700-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a roller latch like the Don-Jo 1700 used for, and when should I use one instead of a real latch?
A roller latch holds a door closed with spring tension on a nylon roller instead of a latchbolt, so the door pushes open from either side with no knob or lever turn. The Don-Jo 1700 is the right pick on closet, vestibule, corridor and office doors that need to stay shut but never need to lock, and on pull-only doors where you want a positive catch without a bore. It gives you no security and no keying, so anywhere the opening has to lock, or is a fire-rated opening needing positive latching, you need a mechanical latch or lockset instead, not a roller catch.
2) Will the Don-Jo 1700 roller latch stay closed on a door that gets bumped or has HVAC pressure on it?
Tension on the 1700 is field adjustable, so you set how hard the roller has to be pushed past the strike. On a stack-pressure corridor door or a door people brush against, back the roller out for more holding force; on a light closet door in a healthcare or office setting, dial it down so it opens easily. That adjustment is also how you deal with a frame that has racked or a door that has settled, which is the usual reason a fixed catch stops holding.
3) Does the Don-Jo 1700 come with a strike, or do I have to order one separately?
The full lip strike is included, measuring 1-11/16 by 2-1/4 inches. That is a complete latch and strike assembly out of the box, nothing else to add on the order. The full lip is the version you want when the roller has to ride over the strike edge onto the frame face, which is the common condition on a wood frame where the stop is shallow.
4) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 1700 roller latch and the Emtek 8803 roller latch?
They are sized for different door preps. The Don-Jo 1700 has a 3-3/8 inch by 1 inch latch body and ships with a full lip strike measuring 1-11/16 inch by 2-1/4 inch, in cast brass. The Emtek 8803 is a heavy duty roller latch with a 7/8 inch by 6 inch face. If the door edge is already mortised for a 3-3/8 inch faceplate, the 1700 drops into that cutout; the 6 inch face on the 8803 needs a longer mortise, so swapping between the two is a prep change, not a straight exchange.
5) Which finishes does the Don-Jo 1700 roller latch come in, and how do I match the hinges and levers already on my doors?
Five finishes: 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black and 626 satin chrome. Those are the standard BHMA finish numbers, so if the existing hinges or levers on the opening are stamped 626, order the 1700 in 626 and it coordinates across the fleet. For a property manager standardizing a building, 626 satin chrome and 613 oil rubbed bronze are the two that cover most existing commercial trim.
6) Is the Don-Jo 1700 roller latch quiet enough for a hospital or an office corridor?
The roller is solid nylon, so the door closes with a soft roll rather than the metallic snap of a spring latch. That is the reason roller catches get specified on patient room doors, exam rooms, libraries and open office areas. The 1700 is a commercial-rated product, so it takes the traffic those buildings put on it.
7) What does the ANSI E19091 designation on the Don-Jo 1700 mean when I am writing a hardware spec?
E19091 is the ANSI/BHMA function number carried by the 1700 roller latch. If the hardware schedule on the drawing calls for a roller latch to E19091, this part answers that line item directly, which is what an institutional or government spec writer needs to see before approving a substitution.
8) What else could I use instead of the Don-Jo 1700 roller latch?
The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is the other roller catch to look at, in a 7/8 by 6 inch size. That is a longer, narrower body than the 1700's 3-3/8 by 1 inch footprint, so the two are not drop-in swaps for each other, the door edge prep is different. Choose on the mortise you already have: if you are replacing an existing catch, measure the pocket in the door edge first and match the body to it rather than the brand.
9) Does the Emtek 8803 come with a strike like the Don-Jo 1700 does?
The Don-Jo 1700 is sold as a latch and strike assembly - the full lip strike at 1-11/16 inch by 2-1/4 inch is included, so the frame side is covered in one order. The Emtek 8803 is catalogued as a roller catch by series, so confirm the frame side separately when you order it. If you want one part number that covers both leaves of the job, the 1700 is the one that includes it.
10) Is a roller catch the same thing as a roller latch when I am cross-referencing parts?
They describe the same hardware family - a spring-loaded roller that holds a door closed without a deadlatch. The Emtek 8803 is listed under the Roller Catch series and the Don-Jo 1700 is a roller latch, and neither is a locking latch, so a roller unit is not a substitute where the opening needs a latchbolt that keys or throws. Cross-reference on the face dimension and the strike, not on the catch-versus-latch wording: the 1700 is 3-3/8 inch by 1 inch and the 8803 is 7/8 inch by 6 inch.
11) Is a cast brass roller latch worth it over a stamped one for high traffic doors?
The 1700 body is cast brass, not stamped steel. Cast brass holds thread and spring tension better over years of adjustment and resists corrosion in humid areas, which is why it survives on hotel, school and multi-tenant corridor doors that cycle all day. On a low-use interior closet the difference matters less, but on a door being cycled hundreds of times a day the cast body is the reason the tension setting stays where you put it.
12) For a quiet opening in a medical office, does the Don-Jo 1700 or the Emtek 8803 latch more quietly?
The Don-Jo 1700 uses a solid nylon roller for quiet latching and is field-adjustable, so tension can be tuned to the door and frame after hanging - useful in exam rooms and offices. The Emtek 8803 is a heavy duty roller latch at 7/8 inch by 6 inch, built around the larger face. Pick the 1700 where the prep is short and the roller tension needs dialing in on site.
