Don-Jo 1702-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a roller latch like the Don-Jo 1702 used for instead of a regular latch?
A roller latch holds a door closed by friction rather than by a latchbolt engaging a keeper. The Don-Jo 1702 uses a nylon roller that rides into a T strike, so the door pushes open from either side with no knob or lever turn and no latch click. That makes it the right choice for closet doors, passage doors, and openings in offices, healthcare corridors, and schools where quiet operation matters more than security. What it is not is a security latch, there is no deadlocking and no keying, so on any door that needs to stay locked or that carries a fire rating you want a conventional latch or lockset instead.
2) How much of a mortise does the Don-Jo 1702 roller latch need in the door edge?
The 1702 latch body is 3-3/8 inches long by 1 inch wide, so the face plate mortise in the door edge is cut to those dimensions and the body pocket goes behind it. On a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door the 1 inch body width leaves material either side of the pocket. There is no bore or backset to worry about, a roller latch mortises into the edge only and does not need a cross bore through the face of the door.
3) Can you adjust a Don-Jo 1702 roller latch if the door does not hold shut or is too hard to push open?
Yes, the roller is field adjustable. The mechanism lets you tune the roller projection and spring tension after the latch is mounted, which is how you deal with a door that pops open on its own or one that takes too much shoulder to push. That adjustment is the reason a roller latch survives doors that have settled or frames that are slightly out of plumb, you dial the engagement in rather than re-mortising.
4) Can I use a Don-Jo 1702 roller latch on a fire rated door?
Use a fire rated latch instead. A roller latch holds by friction and does not positively latch, which is not what a labelled opening needs, so on a fire door you want a conventional latchbolt lockset or a fire rated exit device carrying its own label. The 1702 belongs on the non-labelled openings in the same building, closets, passage doors, and offices where the point is silent operation.
5) What finishes does the Don-Jo 1702 roller latch come in, and will it match my existing door hardware?
Five finishes: 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so a building already standardized on 626 satin chrome levers or 613 oil rubbed bronze trim gets an exact match on the latch face plate and strike. Worth noting for property managers with mixed stock, the visible parts of a roller latch are just the face plate and the strike, so a near match reads far less than a mismatched lever would.
6) Is the Don-Jo 1702 roller latch brass or steel, and will it hold up in a high traffic building?
Cast brass body, rated by the manufacturer as commercial grade. Cast brass resists corrosion better than plated steel, which matters on exterior vestibules, pool and locker room doors, and coastal buildings where a steel latch would bloom rust at the face plate. The wear part is the nylon roller, and nylon against a brass strike is what keeps it quiet through repeated cycles rather than developing the metallic rattle a spring latch gets.
7) What is the difference between the Don-Jo 1702 roller latch and the Emtek 8803 heavy duty roller catch?
Both are roller catches doing the same job, holding a door shut by friction with no keying. The Don-Jo 1702 is a 3-3/8 by 1 inch cast brass body with a 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch T strike, offered in five BHMA commercial finishes and packed ten to a box, which suits volume work across a building. The Emtek 8803 is a heavy duty roller latch with a 7/8 by 6 inch footprint, so it is a longer and narrower body, check which one matches the mortise already cut in your door edge before choosing. A 6 inch pocket will not be filled by the 1702 face plate, and a door prepped for the 1702 is too short for the 8803.
8) Does the Don-Jo 1702 roller latch work on both left hand and right hand doors?
Handing is not a factor. The roller in the 1702 projects straight out of the door edge and rolls in either direction into the T strike, so the same latch works on a left hand or right hand swing and on either an inswing or outswing door. That is one less thing to specify on the order, and it is why a single shelf pack covers a whole corridor of doors regardless of which way each one swings.
9) Does the Don-Jo 1702 come with a strike, or do I order one separately like with the Emtek 8803?
The Don-Jo 1702 ships with its matching T strike, 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch, so the latch and strike arrive as one matched set and the frame prep is a known size before the crew gets to the opening. The Emtek 8803 is catalogued as a Roller Catch and its name covers the latch body at 7/8 inch by 6 inches. For a property manager replacing roller latches across a run of doors, the 1702 removes the step of matching a strike to the latch.
10) Is a roller catch the same thing as a roller latch when I am cross-shopping?
They describe the same class of hardware: a spring-loaded roller that holds a door closed against the strike without a latchbolt, released by pulling the door rather than turning a knob. The Emtek 8803 is sold under the Roller Catch series and the Don-Jo 1702 is a roller latch; both hold a door shut by roller pressure, and neither provides a locking latchbolt. What separates them for ordering is the body size and whether a strike is included - the 1702 is 3-3/8 inch by 1 inch in cast brass and comes with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch T strike, and the 8803 body is 7/8 inch by 6 inches. If the opening needs a locking function, a roller latch of either kind is not the substitute.
11) How many Don-Jo 1702 roller latches come in a pack?
The 1702 is packed in a shelf pack of 10 latches, each with its T strike. That is worth knowing before you order for a single door repair, and it is why this one turns up on multifamily and school retrofit jobs where a contractor is doing a floor of closet or passage doors at once rather than a single opening.
12) For a quiet corridor in a healthcare or office building, which roller latch should I specify?
The Don-Jo 1702 uses a solid nylon roller specifically for silent operation, and the mechanism is field adjustable so the tension can be tuned to the door and frame instead of slamming or failing to hold. It is a commercial cast brass body at 3-3/8 inch by 1 inch and comes in 605 polished brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome to match the rest of the corridor hardware. The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is the larger-face option at 7/8 inch by 6 inches where the door edge prep calls for it.
