Why Can't You Use a Standard Commercial Lock on an Aluminum Storefront Door?
Standard commercial cylindrical locksets fit a 2-1/8 inch bore. The vertical stile of a typical aluminum storefront door is 1-3/4 to 2 inches wide. There's no room for a standard cylindrical lock body. Adams Rite designs every product around this narrow dimension constraint. The MS Series deadlatch is in virtually every commercial aluminum storefront door in North America because it's the only product built specifically for this door type and stile dimension. If the door has glass panels and an aluminum frame, Adams Rite hardware is the starting point.
What's the Difference Between Adams Rite Deadlocks and Deadlatches?
Deadlatches for Standard Storefront Operation
An Adams Rite deadlatch spring-latches when the door closes and retracts when the inside lever or outside key cylinder is operated. The 'dead' in deadlatch refers to the anti-shimming feature: once the latch extends into the strike, it locks automatically and can't be retracted by a shim or credit card without proper credentials. The MS1890 is the most widely stocked deadlatch and works with Adams Rite 4070 Series outside handle sets.
Deadlocks for Additional Security
An Adams Rite deadlock (MS1847 Series) adds a 1-inch throw deadbolt that the occupant operates with a thumb turn from inside or a key from outside. It doesn't spring-latch like the deadlatch. You use it in addition to the deadlatch on doors that need deadbolt-level security after hours, or as the only lock on doors that don't need a spring latch function.
Which Adams Rite Product Works with Access Control?
The Adams Rite 4300 Series electrified deadlatch adds an electric solenoid to the standard MS deadlatch mechanism. The access control controller sends a signal to release the solenoid, which lets the door pull open from outside. Available in fail-safe (releases on power loss) and fail-secure (stays locked on power loss) configurations, 12/24VDC operation. For glass storefront access control, this is typically cleaner than a frame-mounted electric strike because the lock body stays narrow within the stile and doesn't require a visible strike on the frame face.
