Adams Rite 4590-02-04-628 Paddle Operator 4500/4900 offers an innovative solution for opening latched doors with ease. Designed for 3-1/4 inch thick doors, this flat deadlatch paddle allows users to push or pull in the direction the door swings, making access as intuitive as opening an unlatched door. Ideal for a range of Adams Rite locks, including the 4500 and 4900 series, this paddle operator enhances both functionality and aesthetics in commercial applications. Crafted from extruded aluminum with a satin aluminum finish (628), the paddle is complemented by a durable zinc alloy escutcheon, which houses a robust steel mechanism. This escutcheon is securely attached to the door using special binder posts, ensuring a solid installation that resists torque loads. The 4590 paddle operator is available in four operation modes-push or pull, left or right-allowing for flexible installation options. Individually boxed with mounting hardware, this product is built for hassle-free installation and is backed by a 5-year limited warranty. The paddle design not only enhances accessibility but also provides an ergonomic alternative to traditional knob or lever handles, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic environments.
