Ives RL32 US26D Roller Latch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES RL32 US26D is a roller latch finished in satin chrome, designed to hold interior doors in a latched position without a keyed or thumbturn mechanism. Roller latches use a spring-loaded roller that engages a strike plate to keep a door closed under light pressure. This type of hardware is common in commercial and residential interior applications where positive latching is needed but a traditional bolt latch is not required. Installation is handled by carpenters, finish hardware contractors, and general contractors during door-frame rough-in or finish trim phases.

The RL32 US26D is suited for interior door applications including cabinet doors, passage doors, and light commercial interior doors where a low-profile, surface-mounted or edge-mounted latch is appropriate. The satin chrome finish coordinates with standard commercial and residential hardware finishes. It is typically specified in office, hospitality, and multi-unit residential environments alongside matching door hardware sets.

Key Features

• Spring-loaded roller mechanism holds door closed without a key or thumbturn
• Satin chrome (US26D) finish for a clean, low-glare appearance
• Low-profile design suited for interior door edges
• Intended for light-duty interior passage and cabinet door applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation roller latch for standard interior door edge applications where a roller-style latch and compatible strike are required.

Installation Notes

Roller latches are installed by carpenters or finish hardware contractors and typically require a chisel, drill, and appropriate hole saw or mortise template for door-edge preparation. Disengage any door closer and ensure the door is stable before drilling or mortising. Verify that the strike plate alignment allows the roller to engage fully without binding. Follow local building codes for hardware installation on fire-rated or accessibility-compliant door assemblies.
