Ives RL1152 Forged Brass Roller Latch with Angle Stop

The RL1152 builds on the RL30 roller latch body by adding an integrated angle stop for positive door control in high-traffic commercial openings. The forged brass body accepts a nylon roller and ships with wood screws for a complete installation. Projection adjusts up to 3/8" maximum via face-mounted screws, letting the installer dial in engagement to match actual door clearance without shimming or rework.

Key Features

  • Adjustable projection: Up to 3/8" maximum, set with face-mounted adjusting screws.
  • Forged brass construction: Rated for high-traffic commercial use; meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16, E19111.
  • Integrated angle stop: Combines roller latch and angle stop in one unit for door control without a separate component.
  • Automatic engagement: Roller seats into the strike depression on door close; no manual operation required.
  • Includes: Nylon roller and wood screws.

Ives RL1152-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Ives RL1152 roller latch hold a door closed without a knob or lever latch?
The RL1152 holds by friction, not by a latchbolt. A nylon roller sits in the door edge and drops into the depression in the strike as the door closes; pushing or pulling the door rolls it back out. Nothing retracts it, there is no key and no deadlocking, so it keeps a door shut against drafts, air pressure and traffic but it does not secure the opening. Use it on push/pull doors, corridor and closet doors, and doors that only need to stay put. Where the door has to lock, it needs a lockset or latch in addition. How firmly it holds is set by the roller projection, adjustable up to 3/8 inch.
2) Can I use an Ives RL1152 roller latch on a fire-rated door?
No. A roller latch releases under pressure by design, so it is not positive latching hardware, and a fire-rated door assembly has to hold shut with a latch that stays engaged. The RL1152 is a commercial-duty forged brass roller latch for non-rated openings: offices, corridors, closets, cross-corridor doors that are not part of a rated assembly. On a rated opening you need a latching lockset, mortise lock or fire exit device with an active latchbolt, plus a closer.
3) How much gap or clearance can the Ives RL1152 roller latch take up between the door and frame?
Projection is adjustable to a maximum of 3/8 inch, and it is set with adjusting screws on the face of the latch after the unit is mounted. That means you dial in the engagement at the door instead of shimming the strike or re-cutting the frame, which is what makes it workable on older openings where the gap varies top to bottom. If the door sits far enough off the stop that more than 3/8 inch of roller travel is needed to reach the strike, the frame or the strike position has to be corrected first.
4) What size mortise do I cut in the door for an Ives RL1152 roller latch, and what does the strike need?
The latch body measures 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches and the strike measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 5/32 inches. Ives publishes a template for the RL1152 that gives the hole locations for both the door edge and the frame, and the prep should be marked from it rather than from the outside dimensions alone. Cut the pocket in the door edge for the latch body, mount the strike on the frame opposite it, then set the roller projection once both are in.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Ives RL1152 roller latch?
The nearest peer is the Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch, a roller catch series unit measuring 7/8 inch by 6 inch. Both hold a door closed by a spring-loaded roller riding into a strike depression rather than by a deadlatching bolt, so functionally they cover the same job on a door with no lock. The footprints are not the same: the Ives RL1152 body measures 1-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch by 1-3/4 inch and takes a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 5/32 inch strike, so a mortise and frame prep cut for one will not receive the other without rework. The RL1152 is a forged brass unit carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.16, E19111.
6) The opening already has a wall stop - which roller latch makes sense there?
The Ives RL1152 combines the RL30 roller latch function with an integrated angle stop, so it handles both the latching and the door stop at a single prep. Where the stop is already covered by a wall or floor stop, the Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is the cross-brand option that covers only the roller catch side, in a 7/8 inch by 6 inch format. Decide on what the opening still needs: if the stop is already in place, the angle stop on the RL1152 is redundant hardware at that door; if the door is swinging into a wall with nothing to catch it, the RL1152 does both in one unit.
7) Does the Ives RL1152 roller latch come with a strike and mounting screws, or do I order those separately?
It ships complete: the nylon roller, the strike (1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 5/32 inches) and wood screws for mounting. Nothing else is required for a wood door in a wood frame. On a hollow metal door or frame the supplied wood screws are the wrong fastener, so plan on machine screws into tapped holes, which you supply.
8) Does the Ives RL1152 roller latch meet an ANSI/BHMA standard I can put on a school or hospital spec?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, product code E19111. A156.16 is the auxiliary hardware standard, the one that covers roller latches, catches, door stops and similar trim, so E19111 is the line a spec writer cites for this part. The body is forged brass and the unit is classed for commercial use, which is what carries it through institutional purchasing where residential-grade catches get rejected.
9) Can I get an Ives RL1152 roller latch in a finish that matches the satin chrome or oil-rubbed bronze hardware already on my doors?
Both, and seven more. The RL1152 is stocked in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze. Order by the BHMA finish number rather than the colour name, since satin bronze (612) and satin bronze oil-rubbed (613) read very differently on the door.
10) Is the Ives RL1152 roller latch handed, or is it the same part for a left and right hand door?
One part either way. The RL1152 is ordered by finish only, with no left or right hand option, because the roller rides over the strike lip the same on either swing. What you do have to get right is which piece goes where: the latch body mortises into the door edge, the strike mounts on the frame, and the roller projection is adjusted afterward to suit the gap.
11) How does the Ives RL1152 differ from the Emtek 8803 heavy duty roller catch?
Mostly footprint and what the spec carries. The Emtek 8803 is a roller catch measuring 7/8 x 6 inches, so it wants a longer, narrower pocket. The Ives RL1152 body is 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches in forged brass, with roller projection adjustable to 3/8 inch and certification to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, E19111. If you are swapping one for the other in an existing door, the mortise lengths do not line up, so expect to re-cut or fill. Where a job spec calls out an A156.16 auxiliary hardware listing, the RL1152 is the one that carries it.
12) Can I drop an Ives RL1152 into a door already mortised for an Emtek 8803 roller latch?
Plan on re-prepping the door. The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is a 7/8 inch by 6 inch unit - narrow and long. The Ives RL1152 measures 1-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch by 1-3/4 inch, so it is wider and shorter than the existing pocket in both directions, and its 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 5/32 inch strike will not match the frame cutout left behind either. Verify the door edge and frame against the RL1152 template before ordering for a retrofit, and confirm the stile has the width to take the 1-1/2 inch dimension: https://zensupply.com/content/pdf/ives/Ives_RL1152_Angle_Roller_Latch_Template_101917.pdf
13) Our facility spec calls out ANSI/BHMA A156.16 for auxiliary latching hardware - how does that narrow the roller latch choice?
The Ives RL1152 is designated ANSI/BHMA A156.16, E19111 and is classified for commercial use, so a submittal that cites A156.16 with the E19111 type can be answered directly with the RL1152 line. The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is the cross-brand roller catch to weigh alongside it, and at 7/8 inch by 6 inch it carries a different faceplate footprint, which matters if you are standardizing one door prep across a building. For a facility standardizing on a single roller latch, settle the ANSI type called for on the drawing first, then match the prep dimension across the doors.
14) Is the RL1152 the same thing as an Ives RL30 roller latch?
The RL1152 uses the RL30 roller latch design with an angle stop built into the same unit, so the door gets both the roller hold and the stop from one piece of hardware and one prep. The roller action is identical: it engages on its own as the door closes and is adjusted at the face to a maximum 3/8 inch projection. If you already have a separate stop on the opening and only need the roller hold, the added angle stop is redundant.
