Adams Rite 4781 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle

Adams Rite 4781 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle, Standard Rod

The 4781 Two-Point Deadlatch latches to header and threshold allowing both door leaves to remain active. It is designed for paired out-swinging narrow stile doors, but is also suitable for single doors.

Function
Designed for paired out-swinging narrow stile doors, but also suitable for single doors. Instead of operating a conventional horizontal-throw latchbolt, the 4781Two-Point Deadlatch latches to header and threshold. This allows both door leaves to be “active”. There is no need to pin one door with flushbolts or other devices.The paddle is a modified version of the 4591 Deadlatch Paddle and the concealed vertical rod mechanism is the same as used in Adams Rite’s 8600 SeriesExit Devices. Note however, that the 4781 Two-Point Deadlatch isnot intended to substitute for an exit device, which must have a door-spanning bar.

Operation
Inside: Push paddle to unblock top bolt and withdraw bottom bolt. Continuing to push will open the door in a very natural, ergonomically-friendly motion. Paddle strokeis approximately 1-1/2" [38.1 mm] at extreme end. Rod adjustment allows paddle (centerline) to be mounted at any height from 30 to 44 inches above the finished floor.
Outside: If key entry operation is required, any standard mortise cylinder with MS® cam can be installed through an 8650 Cylinder Escutcheon. 3080 Entry Trim compatiblewith Adams Rite exit devices can be specified in the version used for CVR devices.

Features

Paddle Dogging: Turning hex screw in paddle escutcheon holds paddle down, leaving door free-swinging.

Strike: A flanged post installed on the header has generous location adjustment to allow for door misalignment, sag, bumpers, etc. Designed to prevent forced entry by bowing the door.

Top Bolt: Similar to door latches on some automobiles and aircraft, the U-shaped bolt wraps around the strike post to deadlock position, which also deadlocks the bottom bolt through a gear train at the center of the rod assembly.

Threshold Bolt: Stainless hexagonal steel bolt requires only a 1/2" [12.7 mm] diamete rhole in threshold for a strike.

Door Size: Standard unit will fit doors up to 66" [1676.4mm] above the paddle height. 110" [2794 mm]door if paddle is at max 44" [1117.6 mm] height.

Standard Package: Individually boxed with mounting screws and installation instructions.
