Adams Rite 4781T-021-628 Two-Point Deadlatch with Paddle

Adams Rite 4781T-021-628 Two Point DeadLatch W/Paddle offers a robust locking solution designed specifically for paired outswinging narrow stile doors, with versatility for single doors as well. This deadlatch features a unique paddle mechanism, allowing for paddle dogging-simply turn the hex screw in the paddle escutcheon to hold the paddle down, enabling free-swinging access. The top bolt is engineered for enhanced security, utilizing a U-shaped design that wraps around the strike post to deadlock the door, while simultaneously locking the bottom bolt through a gear train within the rod assembly. The header strike includes generous location adjustments to accommodate door misalignments, ensuring reliable performance even under stress. Constructed with a stainless hexagonal steel bolt, the bottom bolt only requires a ½" diameter hole in the threshold for installation. This standard unit is suitable for doors up to 66" above the paddle height, with options available for taller installations using the 8655 Tall Door Kit. The Adams Rite 4781T-021-628 comes packaged with mounting screws and installation instructions, making setup straightforward. With a sleek aluminum finish (628/US28), this deadlatch is an ideal choice for commercial applications, ensuring security and functionality in one elegant design.

• Paddle Dogging: Turning hex screw in paddle escutcheon holds paddle down, leaving door free-swinging.
