Ives RL32 Brass Roller Latch with Adjustable Projection for Light Duty Applications

Professional Light Duty Door Closure Solution

The Ives RL32 Brass Roller Latch provides reliable door closure for light duty cabinet and closet applications. This non-handed roller latch features simple actuation where closing the door causes the roller to fall into the strike depression, holding the door securely closed. The maximum projection of 1/2" allows for variance in door clearance, and the projection is easily adjusted using the knurled knob on the back of the latch. Constructed with brass substrate and featuring a nylon roller standard, this latch fits heavy-duty cylindrical lock cutouts and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16 standards.

Professional Features & Benefits

Ives RL32 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Ives RL32 roller latch hold a passage door closed without a lockset?
The RL32 is a light duty roller latch, not a lock. A spring-loaded roller drops into a depression in the strike when the door swings shut and holds it there until you pull it open. There is no bolt, no keying, and no security function. Use it on cabinets, closets, and interior doors where you just want the leaf to stay shut. If the opening needs to actually secure, you want a cylindrical or mortise lockset instead.
2) Does the Ives RL32 fit a standard 161 cylindrical lock prep?
The RL32 body drops into a heavy-duty cylindrical lock cutout, so on a door already bored for a cylindrical lockset the prep is there. The latch body measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches, and it ships with wood screws. It is non-handed, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door without reordering.
3) My closet door has a gap and won't stay shut. Can the RL32 be adjusted to take it up?
That's what the adjustment is for. The roller projects up to 1/2 inch maximum and you set it with a knurled knob on the back of the latch, so you can dial the roller out to meet the strike where the door sits loose, or back it off if the door is binding. No shimming and no re-prepping the jamb.
4) Is the Ives RL32 heavy duty enough for a high-traffic door?
No. The RL32 is a light duty latch with a nylon roller, sized for cabinets, closets, storage rooms and interior doors. On a door that gets pushed through all day, or a heavier leaf, step up to a heavy duty roller catch such as the Emtek 8803 Heavy Duty Roller Latch. Brass body or not, the RL32's holding force is light by design so the door opens with a pull.
5) What is the alternative to the Ives RL32 roller latch when the door edge takes a long face plate instead of a cylindrical lock bore?
The Ives RL32 is built to drop into a heavy-duty cylindrical lock cutout, with a latch body measuring 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch. Where the door is prepped for a long edge face plate rather than a lock bore, the Emtek 8803 heavy duty roller latch carries a 7/8 inch by 6 inch face. Both are roller catches that hold the door by a spring-loaded roller dropping into a strike depression, so the choice comes down to what the door is already prepped for.
6) Is the Emtek 8803 roller latch a drop-in replacement for an Ives RL32?
No. The Emtek 8803 is a roller catch in a 7/8 inch by 6 inch format, while the RL32 body is 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch and pairs with a 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 3/32 inch strike. Swapping one for the other means new door and jamb prep, not a straight exchange. If you are matching existing openings across a building, stay with the RL32 and change only the finish, which runs from bright brass 605 through satin chrome 626, aged bronze 643E and matte black 622.
7) What size strike does the Ives RL32 roller latch need in the jamb?
The strike is 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inches. If you're replacing an existing roller latch, measure the strike mortise in the frame against those numbers before you order, because the depression in the strike is what the roller rides into. The RL32A version is the one packed with an ASA strike.
8) Does the Ives RL32 meet ANSI/BHMA standards for a spec job?
The RL32 is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16, product code E19091, which is the auxiliary hardware standard that covers roller latches. It is a commercial-rated part with a brass substrate and a nylon roller. That's the citation to put on the submittal if the drawing calls for A156.16 auxiliary hardware.
9) What finishes does the Ives RL32 roller latch come in, and can I match the other hardware in the 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. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so if you know what your levers or hinges are specified as (626 and 613 are the two most common in commercial work), order the roller latch in the same number and it will match.
10) Roller latch or ball catch for a closet door?
A roller latch like the RL32 mounts in the door edge in a cylindrical lock cutout and engages a depression in a jamb strike, so it works where the door already has a lock bore and you want a flush edge-mounted holder. A ball catch is a smaller edge-bored fitting that suits a lighter door with no lock prep. If your door is already prepped for a cylindrical lockset and you're removing the lock, the roller latch reuses that hole rather than leaving you to fill it.
11) Do I need to order a strike separately with the Ives RL32?
The RL32 comes packed with wood screws for the latch body. The RL32A is the variation that includes an ASA strike, so if you're working on new door prep with no strike already in the frame, that's the one to specify. On a replacement where a roller latch strike is already mortised into the jamb and measures 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches, you can reuse it.
12) Can I use one Ives RL32 part number for every door regardless of swing?
Yes, the RL32 is non-handed, so one part number covers left hand, right hand, and reverse bevel openings. For a property manager standardizing across a building that means one SKU per finish on the shelf instead of a handed pair, and an installer can't get it wrong on site.
13) Which roller latch should be specified when the closure has to meet a written ANSI/BHMA requirement?
The Ives RL32 is the one to cite: it is a brass-substrate roller latch that meets ANSI/BHMA A156.16 and carries the E19091 product code, and it is designated for commercial use. The Emtek 8803 is described as a heavy duty roller latch in a 7/8 inch by 6 inch size. For a facility standard, spec sheet, or submittal that names an ANSI/BHMA number, the RL32 is the part that answers it directly.
14) Will a brass roller latch hold up in a humid or coastal building?
The RL32 uses a brass substrate rather than steel, so the body doesn't rust the way a plated steel catch does, and the roller itself is nylon, which doesn't corrode either. Finish is what wears first in that environment, so a plated chrome finish like 626 satin chrome will hold better against handling than an oil-rubbed living finish like 613, which is meant to change over time.
