Hospital Push and Pull Latches

Push-pull trim turns a Sargent mortise lock into hardware you can operate with a forearm, an elbow, or a hip. Shop Sargent hospital push-pull latches for patient rooms, clean areas, soiled utility, and cart routes, in stainless and chrome finishes.

Trim on a Mortise Lock, Not a Separate Product

Worth being clear about what this is, because it changes how you order it.

A Sargent hospital push pull latch is a trim configuration on a mortise lock, commonly the 8200 Series, rather than a standalone device. The lock case, the latch, the function and the keying all work as they would with lever trim. What changes is what you touch.

That means the order needs the lock specification, not just "push pull trim." Function, handing, door thickness, backset, keying and finish all still apply. Our Sargent 8200 Series and mortise lock collections cover the lock side; the general category explanation is in our Hospital Push Pull Latches collection.

Accessibility

Hands-free operation aligns well with accessibility principles, requiring no tight grasping, pinching or wrist rotation.

Accessibility is a property of the installed opening, not the trim alone. Hands-free trim on a door with an overtightened closer can still be unusable. Measure opening force on the installed assembly with the closer adjusted, rather than treating the hardware specification as settling it. Applicable requirements vary by jurisdiction.

Available Finishes

• 630 satin stainless dominates healthcare because it tolerates repeated disinfection, resists corrosion, and doesn't wear through the way plating does.

• Plated finishes wear through under constant hand, forearm and cart contact plus chemical cleaning. On a patient room door, stainless is the durable choice rather than the aesthetic one.

• Satin hides scratches and marks better than bright in a heavily used corridor.

• Confirm compatibility with your facility's cleaning chemistry.

• Match adjacent hardware where the trim sits alongside push plates, pulls or kick plates.

• Availability varies by configuration; confirm on the product page.

Why Order Sargent Push Pull Latches from Commercial Door Hardware

Commercial Door Hardware supplies door hardware for schools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail and institutional buildings, carrying Sargent mortise locks, trim, exit devices, closers, cylinders and cores alongside Von Duprin, Corbin Russwin, Accentra, LCN and Norton.

Healthcare openings carry more constraints at once than almost any other: infection control, accessibility, fire rating, cart traffic and sometimes clinical risk, all on one door. Because this is trim on a mortise lock, the order needs the lock specification too: function, handing, prep, keying, and that's easier to settle in a conversation than from a part number.
