Adams Rite 4781-041-628 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle

Adams Rite 4781-041-628 Two Point DeadLatch W/Paddle offers a robust and reliable locking solution ideal for paired outswinging narrow stile doors, while also being compatible with single doors. This innovative deadlatch features paddle dogging, which allows users to secure the paddle in a down position, ensuring the door remains free-swinging for ease of access. The top bolt employs a U-shaped design that wraps around the strike post, providing a deadlock position that simultaneously locks the bottom bolt through a gear train in the rod assembly. This design enhances security by preventing forced entry. The header strike is adjustable, accommodating door misalignment or sagging, which is crucial for maintaining a secure fit. Installation is straightforward, with the bottom bolt requiring only a 1/2" diameter hole in the threshold. The standard unit is suitable for doors up to 66" in height, with an option for taller doors using the 8655 Tall Door Kit. For flexibility, the deadlatch can be configured for exit-only use or include key access from the outside with the addition of the 8650 Cylinder Escutcheon. This commercial-grade deadlatch comes individually boxed with mounting screws and installation instructions, ensuring a smooth setup.

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.
