Ives IVE-RL32A-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Ives RL32A roller latch hold a door shut without a lock, or do I still need a latchbolt?
The RL32A is a closure device, not a security device. Closing the door pushes the nylon roller into a depression in the strike and friction holds the door shut, so it keeps a cabinet, closet or storage door from drifting open. There is no bolt, no keying, and nothing to resist someone pulling the door. Ives lists it as light duty. If the opening needs to be secured, or it is a fire door, you need a latching lockset instead.
2) Can I put an Ives RL32A roller latch into an existing knob or lever bore in a door?
Yes. The RL32A body fits a heavy-duty cylindrical lock cutout, so it drops into a door already prepped for a cylindrical lockset. The latch body measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches. That makes it a straightforward swap where a lockset was pulled off a closet or storage door and nobody wants it locking anymore, without repairing the face bore.
3) Does the Ives RL32A roller latch come with a strike, and what size is the strike prep?
An ASA strike ships with the RL32A along with wood screws, so nothing else has to be ordered to install it. The strike measures 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inches. Wood screws mean the frame side is set up for a wood jamb out of the box; a hollow metal frame needs machine screws and tapped holes, which are not in the package.
4) Can I use the Ives RL32A on a fire-rated door?
No. A fire door has to positively latch, and a roller latch only holds the door with friction from the nylon roller in the strike depression. The RL32A is a light-duty closure for cabinets, closets and storage doors. On a rated opening, use a latching lockset or exit device with the appropriate label.
5) Do I have to order an Ives RL32A roller latch left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The roller latch is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right swing, inswing and outswing. For a property manager stocking a maintenance shop or a facility standardizing across many closet doors, that means one shelf item instead of two.
6) Roller latch or a roller catch, which one do I want for a cabinet door?
The difference is the prep. The RL32A is a mortise-style unit sized for a heavy-duty cylindrical lock cutout, 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches, so it belongs on a door that is already bored or that you are willing to bore. For a light cabinet door with no bore, a surface-applied roller catch like the Emtek 8803 heavy duty roller latch mounts without cutting a lock prep. Choose by what the door is prepped for, not by the door type.
7) Is the Ives RL32A roller latch ANSI/BHMA rated?
Yes. The RL32A carries ANSI/BHMA A156.16 with the E19091 designation, which is the auxiliary hardware standard covering items like roller latches. Ives classes it as commercial hardware. If your facility spec calls out A156.16 auxiliary hardware, this meets it as written on the submittal.
8) What finishes does the Ives RL32A roller latch come in, and can I match the other hardware in the building?
Six finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. Those are the standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome matches the satin chrome on most commercial levers and closers, and 613 matches oil-rubbed bronze trim. Order by finish suffix, for example RL32A-US26D for 626.
9) Which roller latch comes with the strike included?
The Ives RL32A ships with an ASA strike measuring 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" x 3/32" plus wood screws, so the frame side is covered in the same order. The Emtek 8803 is catalogued as a Roller Catch in a 7/8" x 6" size; verify the strike arrangement for that one separately when you spec it. If your frame is already prepped for a standard ASA strike lip, the RL32A strike matches that cutout and no additional frame work is needed.
10) Is a roller catch the same thing as a roller latch for a commercial closet door?
They work on the same principle - a spring-loaded roller drops into a depression in the strike to hold the door shut without a latch bolt - but the mounting differs. The Ives RL32A is a brass, non-handed unit built to ANSI/BHMA A156.16 for commercial use, with roller projection adjustable to a maximum of 1/2" via a knurled knob on the back of the latch, which lets you dial in the hold on doors with inconsistent clearance. The Emtek 8803 is a Roller Catch in a 7/8" x 6" size. Both hold a door closed rather than secure it, so neither substitutes for a latching lockset where the opening needs to stay shut against force.
11) Is the Ives RL32A roller latch brass all the way through or just brass plated?
Brass is the substrate, not a coating over steel, which is why it holds up in damp closets, kitchens and mechanical spaces where a plated steel catch will rust at the screw holes. The roller itself is nylon, which is the part that takes the wear each time the door closes and keeps it from chewing up the strike.
12) What is the difference between the Ives RL32A and the plain RL32 roller latch?
The A suffix is the strike package. RL32A comes with the ASA strike, 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 3/32 inches, plus wood screws. If you are ordering for a frame that already has an ASA strike prep, that is the one you want, and it saves buying the strike separately.
