Adams Rite 4781-021-335 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle

Adams Rite 4781-021-335 Two Point DeadLatch W/Paddle is engineered for paired outswinging narrow stile doors, making it a versatile choice for both commercial and residential applications. This deadlatch features a paddle design that allows for easy engagement; simply turning the hex screw in the paddle escutcheon keeps the paddle down, enabling free-swinging door operation. The top bolt operates similarly to latches found on automobiles and aircraft, utilizing a U-shaped mechanism that wraps around the strike post to create a secure deadlock, while also locking the bottom bolt through a central gear train. This system is complemented by a header strike that allows for generous location adjustments, accommodating door misalignment and sagging, while enhancing security by resisting forced entry. Constructed with a stainless hexagonal steel bottom bolt, it requires only a ½" diameter hole in the threshold for installation. Designed to fit standard doors up to 66" above the paddle height, it can accommodate taller doors with an optional kit. This reliable unit comes individually boxed with all necessary mounting screws and installation instructions, ensuring an efficient setup process. With a shipping weight of 3 lbs, the Adams Rite 4781-021-335 is a robust solution for enhanced door security.
