Ives IVE-RL30-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does an Ives RL30 roller latch actually lock the door, or just hold it shut?
It only holds. The RL30 is a roller latch: closing the door pushes the spring-loaded roller into a depression in the strike, and it stays there until someone pushes or pulls the door hard enough to roll it back out. There is no bolt, no keyway, and nothing to operate it with. Use it where you want a door to stay put without a knob or lever action, closet and cabinet-style doors, cross-corridor doors, or the inactive leaf of a pair. If the opening needs security, latching against forced entry, or a fire-rated latch, this is the wrong part and you need a lock or a latch with a real bolt.
2) My door gap varies along the frame. How much adjustment does the Ives RL30 roller latch give me?
Up to 3/8 inch of roller projection, and it is set in the field. Screws on the face of the unit back the roller in or run it out, so you can dial in the amount the roller stands proud until the door pulls up tight against the stop without slamming or bouncing. That covers the usual variance in door-to-frame clearance on an existing opening. If your gap is wider than what 3/8 inch of projection can reach, the roller will not engage the strike depression and the door will not stay closed.
3) What size mortise do I need to cut in the door edge for an Ives RL30 roller latch?
The RL30 body measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches, so prep the door edge to take a case that size. The matching strike that goes in the frame measures 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inches. Work from the Ives template rather than scaling off those figures for the screw holes, but the case and strike numbers tell you up front whether the pocket will fit the stile you are cutting and whether an existing roller latch cutout is close enough to reuse.
4) Does the Ives RL30 come with a strike and screws, or do I have to order those separately?
Both come in the box. Each RL30 is packed with its 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inch door strike, plus wood screws and machine screws so the same unit installs in a wood frame or a hollow metal one without a second trip. Nothing else is required to hang it beyond the door and frame prep itself. If your frame is prepped for an ASA strike, order the RL30A instead, which comes with the ASA strike.
5) What other roller latch can be used in place of the Ives RL30?
The closest cross-brand counterpart is the Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch, and the detail that decides the swap is the footprint. The Ives RL30 is a brass roller latch measuring 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch, supplied with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 3/32 inch strike, and built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, E19091. The Emtek 8803 measures 7/8 inch by 6 inch, a narrower and much taller body. Measure the cutout the door or frame already carries before choosing between them, because the two do not share a prep.
6) The doors already have a long narrow roller latch cutout about 6 inches tall. Which roller latch fits that prep?
For a tall, narrow prep of roughly that size, the Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is the one to look at: it measures 7/8 inch by 6 inch, so the body runs the length of that cutout. The Ives RL30 will not fill it, because the RL30 body measures 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch and mounts with its own 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 3/32 inch strike. Going the other direction, a door already prepped for the compact RL30 pattern would need the cutout lengthened to take the 8803.
7) RL30 or RL30A: which Ives roller latch do I order for my frame?
It comes down to the frame prep you already have. The standard RL30 ships with a flat 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inch strike. The RL30A is the same latch supplied with an ASA strike instead, which is what you want when the hollow metal frame is already cut for an ASA lock strike and you would otherwise be patching or re-cutting it. Look at the existing cutout in the frame before you order, because the latch body is identical either way and the strike is the only thing that changes.
8) Do I need to specify handing on the Ives RL30 roller latch?
No handing to call out. The roller rolls in either direction, so the same RL30 works on a left-hand or right-hand door and on either leaf of a pair. What you do need to get right is which side the case goes in and which side the strike goes in, and that the roller lines up vertically with the strike depression. Order by finish only.
9) What finishes does the Ives RL30 roller latch come in, and can I match the other hardware in my building?
Nine finishes: 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. That covers the standard commercial finishes, so if your doors are standardized on 626 satin chrome or 613 oil-rubbed bronze you can order the roller latch to match rather than settling for whatever is closest. Most of the latch sits inside the door edge, so the exposed face and the strike are what a finish call actually affects.
10) Is the Ives RL30 roller latch rated for commercial door hardware specs?
It meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16 and carries the product code E19091, and Ives lists it as commercial rather than residential. A156.16 is the BHMA standard covering auxiliary hardware, which is the category a roller latch falls under, so if your spec or purchase order calls for A156.16 auxiliary hardware you can cite E19091 against it. The body is forged brass.
11) Can I use a roller latch to keep a pair of doors from drifting open without adding a closer or a lock?
Yes, that is a standard use for the RL30. Mount the latch in the edge of the leaf and the strike in the frame or the opposing leaf, and the door holds itself shut once the roller drops into the strike depression. No handle action is needed to release it, you just push or pull. On a pair, it is common to run one on the inactive leaf so it stays put while the active leaf gets used. The 3/8 inch adjustable projection is what lets you take up the gap so the leaf pulls in flush rather than sitting proud.
12) Is the Emtek 8803 roller latch a drop-in replacement for the Ives RL30?
No, the two are not interchangeable in an existing prep. The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch is a 7/8 inch by 6 inch unit, while the Ives RL30 is a compact 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch brass body that comes with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 3/32 inch strike. They perform the same job of holding a door closed on a roller, but each needs its own mortise and its own strike location, so a straight swap means reworking the door edge or the frame. If the goal is to keep the existing prep untouched, replace like for like.
13) Will a roller latch hold up on a door that gets used all day, or will it wear out?
The RL30 is the heavier-duty end of the roller latch line, which is why it is built as a forged brass unit rather than a stamped one. The roller itself is nylon as standard, so it rolls quietly against the strike instead of grinding metal on metal and it does not need lubrication. Ives puts it in higher traffic service specifically. It is still a friction hold, though, so on a door that gets yanked open constantly, expect to re-set the projection screws occasionally as the roller beds in.
14) Is a roller catch the same thing as a roller latch when sourcing hardware like the Ives RL30?
The two names describe the same kind of hardware, and both terms show up in the same aisle. The Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch belongs to that maker's Roller Catch series, while the Ives RL30 is sold as a roller latch. Both hold a door shut by letting a spring-loaded roller drop into a depression in the strike as the door closes, with no key, knob, or lever action involved. Search on either word, then match on the physical size: the 8803 body is 7/8 inch by 6 inch and the RL30 body is 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch.
