Adams Rite Hookbolt

This is one of the three most common mortise locks found in an aluminum storefront door.  Similar functionally to a deadbolt, the only difference is the tip of the hookbolt engages behind the aluminum frame.  Used in aluminum sliding doors to lock them together, as a regular deadbolt does not have a hook to accomplish this functionality.  These locks can also be found in swinging aluminum doors.

Adams Rite Deadbolt

This is one of the three most common mortise locks found in an aluminum door.  Similar functionally to a hookbolt, the only difference is the lack of the cutout in the bolt.  Used exclusively in swinging doors.

Adams Rite Deadlatch

This is one of the three most common mortise locks found in an aluminum door.  Commonly used in conjunction with an electric strike (referred to as a ‘buzzer lock/system’ by lay people), this locks every time the door is closed.

Adams Rite Lever Handle

Used in conjunction with an Adams Rite Deadlatch,  this is what is installed on the inside of the door and is used to retract the latch and push or pull the door open.

Adams Rite Push/Pull Paddle

Used in conjunction with an Adams Rite Deadlatch, this is what is installed on the inside of the door and is used to retract the latch and push or pull the door open.  The uses a more secure installation method than the lever
handle and generally speaking lasts longer.

Electric Strike

Used in conjunction with locks that use a latch type mechanism.  Electric strikes can be connected to an access control system or to a door release.  They are used to electrically lock and unlock a door.  Electric strikes can be used with mortise locks, leversets, knobsets, panic devices, and Adams Rite Deadlatches.

Magnetic (Mag) Lock

It can be installed on nearly any type of door.  Similar to electric strikes, they can be connected to an access control system or to a door release button.  They are used to electrically lock and unlock a door.  Mag locks only remain
locked when power is applied.  In the event of a power outage, the mag lock will not keep the door locked.  Also, many municipalities, cities, and states, have specific rules and regulations regarding the use of mag locks under specific circumstances.

Electrified Exit Device Trim

Used in conjunction with an exit/panic device, this allows remote unlocking (or via access control) of the device from the outside of the door.

Door Closer

Available in a variety of finishes, strengths, sizes, and styles, door closers are used to ensure the closure of a door. The speed at which the door closes can be adjusted.

Alarmed Exit Device

Typically found on exterior doors in retail environments, when the paddle of the device is depressed to unlock it and open the door, an alarm will sound from the device indicating the door has been opened. Helpful in the
prevention of theft, these devices are applied to doors that are not opened on a regular basis.

Exit Device

Used to always allow free egress from the ‘in’ side of a door. Exit devices are often the only fire/life safety device approved for installing on an exterior door in a commercial space. Exit devices are available in a variety of qualities,
finishes and designs.

Rim Mount Exit Device

This exit device is used in a single door application.

case.

Vertical Rod Exit Devices

Available in either surface mount (applied to the surface of the door) or concealed (installed inside the door). These devices are most commonly used on double doors. The devices lock into the top of the frame and a
strike installed on the saddle or floor.

Leverset

Used on commercial doors, a lever, as opposed to a knob, complies with ADA regulations. Leversets are available in a variety of finishes and lock functions. Some lock functions are the entrance, storeroom, classroom, privacy, passage, communicating, and asylum.

Deadbolt
