Adams Rite 31-0079-MP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes in the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP kit?
The 31-0079-MP is a service kit containing the paddle component and the dogging screw for Adams Rite deadlatch assemblies. It is not a complete deadlatch, so if the latch body or faceplate is what failed, this kit will not cover it. It is meant to restore paddle actuation and dogging on a deadlatch that is otherwise sound.
2) Can I use the 31-0079-MP paddle kit to repair a residential tubular latch?
No. The paddle and dogging screw are Adams Rite deadlatch parts and have nothing in common with a drive-in or tubular latch. For a residential bored door, look instead at a drive-in latch such as the Deltana DLE23875 for entry function or the DLP23875 for passage and privacy, both of which fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
3) Will the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP work as a drop-in on my existing deadlatch, or do I have to pull the door apart?
It is sold as a direct replacement for compatible Adams Rite deadlatch assemblies, so the paddle and screw go back into the existing hardware rather than requiring new door prep. Match the part number 31-0079-MP against the paddle currently on the door before ordering, since Adams Rite paddle parts are model specific.
4) My opening needs a fire rated latch - does the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP cover that?
The 31-0079-MP is a commercial replacement part that supplies the paddle and dogging screw for an existing Adams Rite deadlatch, so it is a service component rather than a rated latch assembly you would specify for a fire door prep. Where a UL rated tubular latch is what the drawing calls for, the Kwikset 83518 is an adjustable square drive latch listed UL 3 hour, and the Kwikset 83521 RCAL plain latch is also UL 3 hour for BBL, KNL, CNL and PLL trim.
5) Can a Kwikset 84290 plain latch be used in place of the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP?
No. The Adams Rite 31-0079-MP is a commercial replacement part supplying the paddle component and dogging screw for an existing Adams Rite deadlatch assembly, not a complete latch unit. The Kwikset 84290 is a square corner plainlatch with a 2-3/8 inch backset, a tubular latch intended to be installed in a bored door prep. If the Adams Rite deadlatch body is still in the door and the paddle or dogging screw is what failed, the 31-0079-MP is the part that restores it; a tubular plain latch will not mount to that assembly.
6) I need a latch for a wood door with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset - is the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP the right part?
No. The 31-0079-MP is a commercial replacement component for Adams Rite deadlatch assemblies, supplying the paddle and dogging screw rather than a bore-in latch. For a bored wood door where the backset needs to work at either dimension, the Deltana DLP23875 is a drive-in latch with an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches in a passage/privacy function, and the Deltana DLE23875 is the adjustable drive-in latch in an entry function. Both Deltana latches list a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
7) What does the dogging screw in the Adams Rite paddle kit actually do?
The dogging screw holds the latch in the retracted position, which is what gives you push-to-exit or free passage during business hours on a storefront door. If the reason you are ordering is that the door no longer stays dogged open, that screw is the piece you want.
8) I manage several buildings with Adams Rite storefront hardware. Is this the part to stock for paddle failures?
For Adams Rite deadlatch openings where the paddle or the dogging screw is the failure point, yes, the 31-0079-MP is the genuine Adams Rite service kit for that repair. It keeps the existing latch body in the door, which is what makes it practical to stock on a maintenance cart across multiple commercial doors.
9) What is the difference between ordering the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP and ordering a faceplate kit like the Emtek 83228?
Both are service parts rather than complete locks, but they serve different assemblies. The 31-0079-MP supplies the paddle component and the dogging screw that lets an Adams Rite deadlatch be held retracted for push-to-exit use. The Emtek 83228 is a faceplate and screws for a tubular pocket door privacy latch with square corners. If the trim plate on a pocket door privacy latch is what is damaged, the 83228 addresses that; if the actuating paddle or dogging hardware on an Adams Rite deadlatch is what is damaged, the 31-0079-MP is the part.
10) We want to move a door to motorized electronic operation instead of repairing the existing paddle - what is the alternative to the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP?
The 31-0079-MP keeps a mechanical Adams Rite deadlatch in service by replacing the paddle and dogging screw, so it is the choice when the opening stays manual. If the goal is to convert to powered operation, the Emtek LC9-DBLTCH is an EMPowered motorized deadbolt latch, an electrified latch in a deadbolt latch function rather than a mechanical service part.
11) Is the Adams Rite 31-0079-MP a commercial or residential part?
Commercial. It is a mechanical lock service part for Adams Rite deadlatch hardware of the kind found on aluminum storefront and commercial entry doors, not residential tubular locksets.
