PDQ 572626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a roller latch like the PDQ 572 used for on a commercial door?
A roller latch holds a door closed by friction instead of a latchbolt. The spring loaded roller rides over the strike lip and keeps the door shut until someone pushes or pulls it open, so there is no knob or lever latching action involved. The PDQ 572 is a commercial grade accessory, typically used on closet, cupboard, or pull-handle doors where you want the door to stay shut but do not need a latch you have to operate.
2) What kind of strike comes with the PDQ 572 roller latch?
The 572 ships with an ASA strike, which is the rectangular strike with the standard ASA cutout footprint used in most hollow metal commercial frames. If your frame is prepped for an ASA strike, this is the version to order. PDQ also builds the same roller latch with a T strike, a full lip strike, and an angle stop strike, so pick the model that matches the prep already in your frame.
3) Can I use a PDQ 572 roller latch on a fire rated door?
No. A roller latch provides friction hold only, not positive latching, so it is not the right hardware for a fire rated opening. If you need a latch on a rated door, use a listed latchset or lock. Within the PDQ general hardware line, the privacy door latch is the model called out as ADA compliant and meeting NFPA 80 Sections 5.2.4.2 and 5.2.13.3.
4) What finishes does the PDQ 572 roller latch come in, and how do I order the right one?
Three finishes: 605 bright brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, and 626 satin chrome. The finish code goes on the end of the part number, so you order 572605, 572613E, or 572626. Satin chrome (626) is the usual match for commercial openings running satin chrome or brushed stainless trim.
5) Should I use a roller latch or a ball catch to keep a door closed?
Both hold a door shut by friction. A roller latch such as the PDQ 572 mortises into the door edge and works against a frame strike, so it suits a door that gets regular use and wants a consistent pull. A ball catch mounts in the top or edge of the door against a small strike and is a lighter duty hold, usually for a cabinet or closet leaf. PDQ offers an adjustable ball catch in the same general hardware line if you want to set the holding tension.
6) Do I need a door stop as well if I install a roller latch?
Usually yes. A roller latch keeps the door closed but does nothing to limit how far it swings open, so most openings still need a wall stop or floor stop. PDQ covers both in the same accessory line: convex, concave, and adhesive backed bumper wall stops, an angled wall stop, floor stops in low dome, high dome, riser and offset styles, plus kick down stops in 4 inch and 5 inch lengths and a 5 inch hinge stop.
7) I manage a building and need the same roller latch across a lot of doors. Can I standardize on the PDQ 572?
Yes, and it is a sensible item to standardize. The 572 is a single model with one strike type (ASA) and three finish choices, so once you have confirmed your frames are ASA prepped you reorder the one part number, for example 572626 in satin chrome, for every opening. The rest of the PDQ general hardware line (stops, holders, silencers, hooks, latch protectors) is available in matching architectural finishes to keep the whole building consistent.
8) Can I replace just the strike on an existing PDQ roller latch?
Yes. PDQ catalogues replacement roller latch strikes separately in its general hardware line, so a bent or wrong-prep strike can be swapped without buying a new latch body. Match the replacement to the prep in your frame, ASA in the case of the 572.
