Adams Rite 24-0140 Radius with weatherstrip seal Faceplate (1-1/8" x 6-7/8"), For 4900 Heavy Duty Deadlatch

The Adams Rite 24-0140 is a radius faceplate with integrated non-removable weatherstrip seal, sized 1-1/8 inch by 6-7/8 inch, for use with the Adams Rite 4900 Heavy Duty Deadlatch on aluminum swinging doors. If you searched "adams rite faceplate with weatherstrip" or "weather stripping" in the context of a deadlatch faceplate-this is the component you need. The 24-0140 replaces or upgrades the standard flat faceplate on a 4900 deadlatch installation with a radius profile that includes a built-in weatherstrip seal running the full length of the faceplate face.

What the Weatherstrip Seal on a Faceplate Does

A standard deadlatch faceplate is flat metal-it covers the lock case opening in the door stile edge, but it doesn't seal against air, water, dust, or noise transmission through the gap between the faceplate face and the door frame edge. On aluminum storefront doors and glass doors in exterior applications, that gap matters. Wind-driven rain, air infiltration, and weather exposure can push past an unsealed faceplate and into the lock case or the interior of the building.

The 24-0140 faceplate has a non-removable weatherstrip seal integrated directly into the faceplate face. When the door closes, the seal compresses against the door frame stop, creating a barrier against air and moisture at the latch edge of the door. This is the faceplate specified when the 4900 deadlatch is installed on an exterior aluminum door where weather resistance is a functional requirement.

Radius vs Flat vs Beveled: Which Shape You Need

Adams Rite makes the 4900 faceplate in three profiles. Radius is a curved profile that matches the rounded stile edge of standard aluminum storefront door sections-the faceplate curves to conform to the door edge shape rather than sitting flat across it. Flat is for hollow metal doors and wood doors with square stile edges. Beveled is for doors with a slight angle on the stile face.

For most aluminum storefront and aluminum swinging commercial doors, radius is the correct faceplate profile. If you're replacing a faceplate on an existing 4900 deadlatch installation, match the profile of the faceplate you're removing. Installing a flat faceplate on a radius stile leaves visible gaps and can cause alignment problems with the strike.

When You Order a Faceplate Separately

The 4900 deadlatch ships complete with a faceplate and strike. You order the 24-0140 faceplate separately when you're retrofitting an existing 4900 to add weatherstripping that wasn't there originally, when a faceplate has been damaged and needs replacement, or when the project spec calls for the weatherstrip seal version but the lock was ordered with the standard faceplate. The 24-0140 installs directly onto any 4900 deadlatch body-no body modification required.

4900 Deadlatch Compatibility and Interchangeability

The 4900 is Adams Rite's heavy-duty deadlatch for aluminum swinging doors. It's a key-controlled spring latch with bolt hold-back-key or handle/paddle retracts the latchbolt, and a reverse turn of the key holds the bolt retracted for free traffic during business hours. The 4900 is also interchangeable, without stile modification, with the MS1850S deadbolt of the same backset and faceplate shape. That interchangeability means the 24-0140 radius weatherstrip faceplate works across both the 4900 deadlatch and the MS1850S deadbolt when the backset and faceplate shape match.
