Don-Jo 4500-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset prep?
That's exactly the prep the 4500 is built for. It uses a 2-3/4 inch backset and is sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness. If your existing bore is on a 2-3/8 inch backset (common on older interior and residential doors), the 4500 will not line up and you'd need a different latch.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch?
No handing to specify. The 4500 is fully non-handed, and the paddles can be mounted up/down or horizontal without modification. That means one part number covers left and right hand openings, which is why it works well when you're stocking a maintenance shop for a whole building.
3) Is a hospital push/pull latch the right choice instead of a lever lockset for a patient room door?
A push/pull latch like the Don-Jo 4500 is for openings you want operated with a forearm, elbow or hip when both hands are full, and it does not lock. If the room needs privacy that can be secured from inside, that's a different product: the Schlage ALX44 is a Grade 2 cylindrical hospital privacy lever lock, and the Schlage L9080BDC is a heavy duty mortise storeroom lock for doors that need to stay secured. Pick the paddle latch for clinical corridors and treatment room doors, the privacy or storeroom lock where the door has to hold people out.
4) What else could I use instead of a Don-Jo 4500 push/pull hospital latch?
Several, and they split by how the door is prepped. The Don-Jo 4500 is a bored latch on a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your door is prepped for a mortise lock, the ABH 6600 Series is a mortise hospital push/pull latch on the same 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Schlage HL6-9000RK gives you paddles only, less the mortise lock, for 1-3/4 inch doors when the mortise body is already in the door. For a lower-profile look, the ABH 6800 Series is the low profile push/pull, and the 6800Q adds a round cover for quieter operation. The Trimco 1562A is a tubular heavy duty passage push/pull with levers down, and the Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle set.
5) The door already has a mortise lock body in it. Do I still need the Don-Jo 4500 or just the paddles?
If the mortise lock is staying in the door, the Schlage HL6-9000RK is supplied as paddles only, less mortise lock, and is a heavy duty unit for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Don-Jo 4500 is a complete bored lockset hospital latch for 1-3/4 inch doors on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it is the choice when you are working a bored prep rather than adding paddles to an existing mortise body. The ABH 6600 Series is the mortise lock version if you need both the body and the paddles together.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch from another brand?
The Don-Jo 4500 is a non-handed push/pull hospital latch with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The ABH 6600 Series is also a hospital push/pull latch built on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it lines up on the same door prep, with the difference that the 6600 Series is a mortise lock body while the 4500 is a bored lockset. The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch is the closer match on lock body type, since it is a tubular passage latch. Confirm which body type your existing door prep carries before swapping.
7) Which hospital push/pull latch should I use if the opening needs ADA compliance called out on the drawing?
The ABH 6000 Series push/pull hospital latch and the ABH 6800 Series low profile hospital push/pull latch are both specified as ADA compliant. The 6800 Series is the low profile version of the two if the door face or an adjacent wall limits projection. The Don-Jo 4500 carries a 3-1/4 inch lever projection, which is the figure to check against your clearance if you are weighing it against the low profile route.
8) What do I use instead of the Don-Jo 4500 if the room needs to lock for privacy?
The Don-Jo 4500 is a push/pull hospital latch, so it releases from either side rather than securing the room. For a patient room or exam room that must lock, the Schlage ALX44 is a hospital privacy lock, a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed lever lock rated medium duty. It keeps the hospital-style operation while adding the privacy function the 4500 does not perform.
9) How far does the Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch paddle stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3-1/4 inches, on a body measuring 2-3/4 x 4-1/2 inches. That projection matters in a corridor where a gurney or cart passes close to the door face, and it's the number to check against clearance for an adjacent wall or a door in a recessed opening.
10) Can I mount the Don-Jo 4500 paddles horizontally instead of pointing down?
Both orientations work off the same part. The paddles mount up/down or horizontal with no modification to the latch, so you can match whatever orientation the rest of the floor already uses. Compare that with the Trimco 1562A, which is specified levers down.
11) I need a hospital latch that operates quietly in a patient room corridor. What are my options?
The ABH 6800Q is the quiet low profile hospital push/pull latch, and it uses a round cover. The standard ABH 6800 Series is the low profile hospital push/pull latch without the quiet designation. The Don-Jo 4500 is a push/pull latch in brass with a satin stainless finish and is not designated as a quiet model, so if noise at night is the deciding factor in a patient care area, the 6800Q is the one specified for it.
12) Is a Schlage L9080BDC or L9070BDC a substitute for the Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch?
No. The Schlage L9080BDC and L9070BDC are heavy duty mortise locks in closet/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, both single cylinder non-deadbolt with a disposable SFIC. They are keyed mortise locks meant to control access to a room. The Don-Jo 4500 is a non-handed push/pull hospital latch on a 2-3/4 inch backset, operated by pushing or pulling the paddle rather than by key. They share the 1-3/4 inch door but not the function or the prep.
13) What is the difference between a push/pull paddle like the Kaba Ilco 459 and the Don-Jo 4500?
The Kaba Ilco 459 Series is a push/pull paddle, the operating trim alone. The Don-Jo 4500 is a complete hospital latch, non-handed, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 3-1/4 inch lever projection for 1-3/4 inch doors, and its handles can be mounted up/down or horizontal without modification. If you are replacing only a damaged or worn paddle on existing hardware, the 459 Series is the paddle-level part; if you are latching the door, the 4500 is the full unit.
14) I need the levers to point down on a hospital latch. Which one is specified that way?
The Trimco 1562A Hospital Series push/pull latch is a tubular passage latch specified with levers down and rated heavy duty. The Don-Jo 4500 does not commit to one orientation: it is non-handed and the handles mount up/down or horizontal without any modification, so it can be set levers down at install and reoriented later if the room changes use.
15) If I am standardizing hospital latches across a facility, what finishes and comparable models should I be looking at together?
The Don-Jo 4500 comes in 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel, which lets you match either of the two common institutional trim families across a corridor. On the comparable side, the ABH 6000, 6800 and 6800Q Series are all hospital push/pull latches, with 6800 being the low profile version and 6800Q the quiet low profile with a round cover, and the ABH 6600 Series covering mortise openings. Standardizing usually means choosing one lock body type first, bored or mortise, then holding the finish constant across it.
16) What finishes does the Don-Jo 4500 hospital latch come in?
Two: 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. If you're matching existing hardware in a healthcare corridor, 630 is the usual institutional standard and 626 is the common match for older brass-base satin chrome trim on the same floor.
17) Will a brass hospital latch hold up in a high-traffic healthcare corridor?
The 4500 body is brass with a 630 Satin Stainless or 626 Satin Chrome finish, and it's built as commercial-grade hardware for institutional use. Brass resists corrosion in wash-down and high-humidity areas, which is why it turns up on patient room, treatment room and restroom doors. For a heavy duty rating specifically called out on the spec, the Trimco 1562A and the ABH mortise options are listed as heavy duty.
