Adams Rite 4781-041-313 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle

Adams Rite 4781-041-313 Two Point DeadLatch W/Paddle offers a robust locking solution designed specifically for paired outswinging narrow stile doors, while also accommodating single doors. This deadlatch features a paddle that can be dogged down by simply turning the hex screw in the paddle escutcheon, allowing for free-swinging operation when needed. One of its standout features is the U-shaped top bolt, which functions similarly to automotive and aircraft door latches. This innovative design ensures a secure deadlock position, effectively locking the bottom bolt through a gear train located at the center of the rod assembly. The header strike is flanged, providing generous location adjustments to account for door misalignment and sagging, enhancing the security against forced entry. Crafted for versatility, the standard unit supports doors up to 66 inches tall, with options for taller installations available via the 8655 Tall Door Kit. Users can choose between exit-only operation or key access from the outside by incorporating the 8650 Cylinder Escutcheon. Each unit comes individually boxed with all necessary mounting screws and installation instructions, making it an ideal choice for commercial applications.

Two Point DeadLatch W/Paddle

Designed for paired outswinging narrow stile doors, but is also suitable for single doors.

• Paddle Dogging: Turning hex screw in paddle escutcheon holds paddle down, leaving door free-swinging.
• Top Bolt: Similar to door latches on some automobiles and aircraft, the U-shaped bolt wraps around the strike post to deadlock position, which also deadlocks the bottom bolt through a gear train at the center of the rod assembly.
• Header Strike: A flanged post installed on the header has generous location adjustment to allow for door misalignment, sag, bumpers, etc. Designed to prevent forced entry by bowing the door.
