Frequently Asked Questions
What is Adams Rite?
Adams Rite is the recognized leader in narrow-stile aluminum door hardware and part of ASSA ABLOY. It is best known for narrow-stile and aluminum door hardware.
What products does Adams Rite make?
Adams Rite's product range includes deadlatches, deadbolts, exit devices, and electric strikes built for aluminum doors.
What makes Adams Rite hardware different from standard door locks?
Adams Rite specializes in narrow-stile hardware sized for the slim vertical rails of aluminum storefront and glass doors, where a standard mortise or bored lock will not fit. Its deadlatches and deadbolts are engineered for the tight backsets these doors require.
Where is Adams Rite hardware typically used?
Adams Rite hardware is specified for aluminum storefront and glass entrance doors.
Is Adams Rite hardware suitable for commercial and code-regulated openings?
Yes. Adams Rite products are made for commercial use and, where applicable, carry ANSI/BHMA A156.2 for bored locks and A156.13 for mortise locks. Confirm the specific model's listings against the opening's fire, smoke, accessibility, or security requirements.
How do I choose the right Adams Rite deadlatch or strike?
Match the door stile width, backset, hand, and whether the opening is electrified. Storefront doors typically use a specific backset (often 31/32 inch or 1-1/8 inch), so confirm the existing prep before ordering. Our team can cross-reference an existing Adams Rite number for replacements.
