Adams Rite 4591-04-02-313 Paddle Operator 4500/4900 offers a modern solution for accessing latched doors with ease. Designed for 2-1/4" to 2-1/2" thick doors, this curved deadlatch paddle features a sleek dark bronze anodized aluminum finish that complements various architectural styles.

Compatible with Adams Rite's 4500 and 4900 series locks, the paddle includes a cam plug for added security and is constructed with a durable zinc alloy escutcheon that houses a robust steel mechanism. The escutcheon is securely mounted to the door stile with special binder posts, ensuring resilience against torque loads. The paddle can be handed in the field for both left-hand reverse and right-hand installations. Additionally, the 4591 paddle is available with a monitor switch option, providing functionality to activate low-voltage circuits or request exit signals. The paddle also features a dogging device that allows the door to remain free-swinging when needed. Individually boxed for easy installation, this product is a reliable choice for both commercial and residential applications.
