Pemko PDLAA26D/15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Pemko PDLAA privacy latch be installed on a labeled fire door?
The PDLAA is UL Classified as a fire door accessory and meets NFPA 80-2016, so it can be added to a labeled fire door assembly without interfering with how that door is meant to perform. That is the situation on most hotel and dormitory corridor openings, where the guest room door is part of the rated assembly and anything screwed to it has to be classified. The silicone bumpers also keep the latch from holding the door open, which is the behavior a rated self-closing opening cannot tolerate.
2) Can I swap Pemko PDLAA latches onto doors that have older Pemko PDL privacy latches?
Upgrading from the older latch is exactly the case the PDLAA was built for. It is the redesigned version of the PDL and Pemko states it retrofits legacy Pemko PDL latch systems and stays compatible with existing Pemko accessories, so a property already standardized on PDL can change latches out door by door instead of re-specifying the opening. The visible difference is the silicone bumpers, which take the contact between latch, door and frame.
3) Does the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch meet ADA requirements for guest room and dorm doors?
Operation and reach range are both covered: the PDLAA is stated to meet ADAAG-2010 and ANSI A117.1-2017 when it is installed properly. Reach range is the half that depends on the installer, since it comes down to where on the door face the latch is mounted. Set that height from the accessibility requirement for your facility rather than copying the height of whatever latch is coming off the door.
4) Do I need a hospital-style privacy latch like the Pemko PDLAA if the lockset already has a privacy function?
They solve different problems. A privacy function lockset locks the door from the inside and that is all it does. The PDLAA is a separate privacy latch that lets the occupant open the door far enough to identify a visitor while the opening stays secured, which is why it goes on hotel, dormitory, military housing, condominium and apartment corridor doors on top of the lock that is already there. Its own function is listed as Privacy/Bed/Bath. If all you need is a bathroom or bedroom door that locks from inside, a privacy lockset covers it and this latch is not required.
5) What comes in the box with the Pemko PDLAA latch, and what do I have to specify when I order it?
Mounting screws are included: #12 x 1-3/4 inch Phillips flat head. The only thing to choose on the order is finish, and there are three: Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, and Satin Bronze Oil Rubbed. There is no handing or function to call out, since the latch is a single Privacy/Bed/Bath configuration.
6) I need the privacy latch to match the lever trim and hinges already on my guest room doors. What finishes does the Pemko PDLAA come in?
Three finishes: Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, and Satin Bronze Oil Rubbed. In BHMA terms that is 625, 626 and 613, which is the quickest way to check it against the finish code already written on your lock or hinge spec. Satin Chrome (626) is the usual match for brushed commercial trim, and Satin Bronze Oil Rubbed (613) for dark bronze hardware.
7) Is the Pemko PDLAA a commercial-duty latch or a residential one?
Commercial. The body is zinc alloy, and the latch is specified for hospitality and institutional housing: hotels, dormitories and student housing, military housing, condominiums, and apartment buildings. The silicone bumpers absorb the contact so the latch is not marking up the door face and frame every time it is used, which is the failure a property manager sees first on a corridor door.
