About this item
The Adams Rite 24-0384 is the replacement faceplate for the MS1850S and MS1950 series MS deadlocks- the heavy-duty laminated stainless steel bolt deadlocks used on narrow-stile aluminum commercial glass doors across North America. If you searched "adams rite faceplates" or "adams rite faceplate"- this is the part. It is a straightforward replacement or upgrade component covering the lock mechanism edge on the door stile in all faceplate shape and bolt configuration combinations.
What the 24-0384 Faceplate Fits
The 24-0384 fits two Adams Rite deadlock series:
MS1850S Series: The standard aluminum stile MS deadlock for single-leaf swinging narrow-stile aluminum doors. Eight-ply laminated stainless steel bolt, nearly 3 inches long, activated by a pivot mechanism. The standard bolt extends 1-3/8 inch from the door edge into the strike. The MS1850S-X5X uses a hookbolt for sliding doors- 13/16-inch throw, hook shaped to resist prying attempts that try to spread the door from the jamb or lift it off its track. The short bolt variant (MS1850S-X2X) has a 2-3/8-inch bolt for jambs too narrow for the full-length bolt.
MS1950 Series: Functionally identical mechanism to the MS1850S but different model designation used in specific markets and replacement applications. Same bolt dimensions, same faceplate size, same cylinder requirements, same backset options.
Both locks accept any standard 1-inch length, 1-5/32-inch diameter mortise cylinder with MS cam for key operation, and the 4066 thumbturn for interior operation.
The 24-0384 Full Option Matrix: Every Variant Decoded
The 24-0384 is not a single faceplate- it is a product family covering five shapes and two bolt configurations, creating ten distinct part numbers at order. The live page option codes spell this out; no competitor page explains them:
Standard Bolt variants (for MS1850S standard straight bolt and MS1950):
010- Flat for standard bolt: Square edge, no bevel. Used when the door stile has a completely square edge. The most common configuration on standard aluminum storefront doors.
110- Radius for standard bolt: The faceplate has a rounded profile along the top and bottom edges rather than sharp corners. Used on doors with rounded stile corners or for a cleaner finished appearance when sharp faceplate corners are undesirable.
210- Left hand bevel for standard bolt: The faceplate is pre-beveled toward the left for doors where the lock stile edge is cut at an angle toward the left. Select when the door swings such that the hinge side is on the right and the bevel runs left.
310- Right hand bevel for standard bolt: Mirror of the 210. For doors with a right-hand bevel on the lock stile edge.
410- Radius with weatherstrip for standard bolt (+$1.65): The radius faceplate includes an integrated weatherstrip- a seal along the faceplate edge that closes the gap between faceplate and door edge seal on weatherstripped aluminum storefront systems. Required on thermally broken or weatherstripped aluminum door assemblies where air or water infiltration at the lock edge is a concern.
Hookbolt and Short Bolt variants (for MS1850S-X5X hookbolt and X2X short bolt):
020- Flat for hookbolt and short bolt: Square edge, used with the hookbolt or short bolt configuration on sliding or pry-resistant applications.
120- Radius for hookbolt and short bolt: Rounded faceplate profile for hookbolt and short bolt.
220- Left hand bevel for hookbolt and short bolt
320- Right hand bevel for hookbolt and short bolt
420- Radius with weatherstrip for hookbolt and short bolt (+$1.65)
The standard bolt faceplate (010 through 410) and the hookbolt/short bolt faceplate (020 through 420) are not interchangeable. The bolt opening geometry differs between a straight bolt and a hookbolt. Order the correct configuration for your lock type.
Why the Faceplate Shape Matters: Bevel, Flat, and Radius Selection
This is the question no competitor page answers for the Adams Rite MS series faceplate:
Flat (010/020): Door edge is square, 90 degrees to the door face. Most aluminum storefront stiles are square edge. When in doubt on a new installation, flat is the default.
Bevel (210/310 and 220/320): The door stile edge is cut at a slight angle- typically because the door is designed to swing tight against the frame stop without binding. The bevel on the faceplate matches the bevel on the stile edge so the faceplate sits flush. Left bevel (210/220) and right bevel (310/320) refer to the direction of the bevel as viewed from outside. Confirm bevel direction before ordering- a left-bevel faceplate will rock on a right-bevel door edge.
Radius (110/410 and 120/420): The plate corners are radiused rather than square. Purely aesthetic on most applications- used when the surrounding door hardware or trim has radiused edges and square faceplate corners would look inconsistent. The radius with weatherstrip (410/420) adds the functional seal.
Finish Options and Pricing
The 24-0384 ships in three standard finishes at base price: 628 (clear anodized aluminum, the most common match for aluminum storefront), 313 (dark bronze, matching dark anodized aluminum stile doors), and 335 (black anodized). Premium finishes- US4 satin brass, US26D satin chrome, US3 polished brass, US26 polished chrome- are available at a premium for applications where the deadlock faceplate must match an architectural finish on non-aluminum door systems.
The MS1850S Bolt: Why This Deadlock Is the Industry Standard
Understanding what this faceplate covers is important when ordering. The MS1850S uses an eight-ply laminated stainless steel bolt with an alumina-ceramic core in the center ply. The ceramic core defeats hacksaw attacks, including rod-type hacksaws- a standard cutting tool used in forced entry attempts. Cutting through the ceramic layer generates severe tool wear without penetrating the bolt. The lamination means the individual plies deform independently, resisting drilling and sawing attacks that would split a solid bolt.
The faceplate covers this bolt mechanism at the door edge. A damaged, corroded, or missing faceplate exposes the bolt case to weather intrusion and mechanical damage. Replacing the 24-0384 restores the weathertight, flush-mounted appearance and protects the bolt mechanism from environmental exposure.
