Adams Rite 3701 30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite 3700 rim exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes, that's what the 3700 Series is built for. It's a narrow stile device on an aluminum substrate, and the door needs a minimum 2 inch stile width. The stile width spec on the device itself is 3-3/4 inches. Door thickness can run from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches, which is wider than most rim devices allow, so it also covers thicker storefront and hollow metal doors.
2) My door opening is a pair with no mullion. Is a rim device like the Adams Rite 3700 the right choice?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves, or you go to a vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold instead. If a mullion isn't acceptable on your opening, look at a concealed vertical rod unit such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile CVR. The 3700 is the right pick on single doors and on pairs where a mullion is in the opening.
3) Can I get the Adams Rite 3700 with electric latch retraction, and what voltage do I specify?
Three electrified choices are offered besides the plain mechanical device: Alarm, EL electric latch retraction, and MLR motorized latch retraction. If you pick EL, you have to call out the voltage, either 12V or 24V. That's a required call on the order, not a default.
4) Our door is 2-1/4 inches thick. Which rim exit devices cover that?
The Adams Rite 3700 accommodates door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Most rim devices in the same class are listed for 1-3/4 inch only, including the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT. The Dormakaba 9300 is listed at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch but is a 48 inch wide stile device, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is listed at 2-1/4 inch. For a thick narrow stile leaf, the 3700 is the one that spans the range on a narrow stile chassis.
5) We need electrified latch retraction on a narrow stile door. How do the Adams Rite 3700 and other electrified rim devices compare?
The Adams Rite 3700 is ordered with an electrified option of EL electric latch retraction, MLR motorized latch retraction, alarm, or none, with 12V or 24V specified for EL, plus an optional single or dual monitoring switch, all on a narrow stile fire-rated chassis. Among other electrified rim options, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim device but is listed as wide stile with a 4 inch stile and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is an electrified 36 inch rim device in an 08 classroom function. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR. Where the door is narrow stile aluminum, the 3700 is the one of these that matches the stile.
6) Can I use the Adams Rite 3700 on a wood door, and what else in the category is wood door compatible?
The Adams Rite 3700 is listed as wood door compatible, and the description covers hollow metal and wood door applications as well as narrow stile aluminum. That is unusual in this class: the Corbin Russwin ED4200, Falcon 19-R, TownSteel ED3700, Von Duprin 22-3FT, Marks USA M9900F and Orca OED85 are all listed as not wood door compatible. If the opening is a wood fire door, the 3700 is the device that carries both the wood door compatibility and the fire rating.
7) Does the Adams Rite 3700 have to be ordered handed?
No. Handing is field reversible on the 3700, so one device covers left and right hand openings. Useful if you're stocking spares for a building instead of ordering per door.
8) Can I monitor the Adams Rite 3700 exit device for door status at my access control panel?
Yes. Monitoring switches are an option on the device: single switch or dual switch, or none if you don't need it. Pick the dual switch when the panel wants separate signals, for example request-to-exit plus latch monitoring. For a door that also needs remote release, the device works with the Adams Rite 7800 electric strike.
9) What finishes does the Adams Rite 3700 exit device come in to match the rest of my storefront?
Seven: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 628 clear anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. The anodized finishes are the ones that match typical aluminum storefront framing; 313 and 628 are the usual pairings on bronze and clear frames. The touchbar itself is stainless steel.
10) Can the Adams Rite 3700 be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, with hex key dogging standard and cylinder dogging available as an option. Worth knowing: dogging is normally disabled on fire rated openings, since a fire door has to latch. If you need the door held unlatched during the day on a labeled opening, you'd handle that with the electric latch retraction option tied to your fire alarm instead.
11) Is 30 inches the right device length for my door, or do I need a 36 inch bar?
The Adams Rite 3700 covered here is the 30 inch device, sized for narrower leaves, which is common on storefront pairs and smaller single openings. If your leaf is a full 36 inch door and you want the bar to run most of the width, a 36 inch device is the usual call, such as the TownSteel ED3700 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches. Measure the clear stile-to-stile width before you pick the length.
12) Is the Adams Rite 3700 rated for high traffic institutional use?
It's ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the highest commercial grade, and is a commercial-only device. Grade 1 is what school, healthcare, and government specs normally call for on an egress opening. Mounting is with machine screws, and it uses single motion panic proof egress, meaning one push on the bar releases the latch regardless of any other locking.
13) Can I add a lever or pull on the outside of the door with the Adams Rite 3700?
Yes, multiple trim options and levers are offered for the 3700, so the door can be pulled or unlocked from the outside while the touchbar handles egress. Trim is ordered separately from the device. Mounting configurations cover rim (8300/8400) and top-of-door mounted (8800/8700/EX88) setups.
14) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 3700 and an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar?
The Adams Rite 3700 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with a latch and a UL 10C fire listing, providing single-motion panic-proof egress on its own. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar; both are listed as non fire rated and for narrow or wide stile. Those bars signal a separate locking device rather than latching the door themselves, so they are not a substitute where a latching, fire-labeled exit device is required.
15) Our opening is wider than 30 inches. What longer rim devices are available besides the Adams Rite 3700?
The Adams Rite 3700 covered here is the 30 inch device, sized for single doors up to 4'0" wide and pairs up to 8'0". For wider leaves, 36 inch rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile, the TownSteel ED8900 narrow stile Grade 1, and the Marks USA M9900F fire rated exit only device; 48 inch options include the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated device and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar. Where the fire label drives the choice, the M9900F in either 36 or 48 inch is the fire rated option among those.
16) What is a Grade 1 narrow stile device I can standardize on for non-rated exterior storefront doors alongside the Adams Rite 3700 on the rated openings?
For non-rated narrow stile storefront leaves, the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device with a 36 inch bar, and the Stanley QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Adams Rite 3700 is likewise Grade 1 and is the one carrying the fire rating and hex key or optional cylinder dogging, so a facility can hold the 3700 for labeled openings and one of those for the rest.
17) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 3700 and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601?
The Adams Rite 3700 is a rim device, latching into a strike on the frame and compatible with the 7800 Series electric strike. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device and the Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad; both are listed as non fire rated and latch top and bottom rather than at the frame strike. Choose the rim 3700 when the frame can take a strike and the door prep is for rim; choose a concealed vertical rod when the pair has no mullion and you need top and bottom latching.
18) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 an equivalent to the Adams Rite 3700?
Not for a rated narrow stile opening. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis and the A9800 is a 36 inch heavy duty rim device also listed Grade 2; both are listed as non fire rated. The Adams Rite 3700 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, UL 10C fire listed, and built for narrow stile aluminum doors. The Cal-Royal units suit non-rated openings where a Grade 2 heavy duty rim device meets the spec.
19) I need a night latch function on a narrow stile door. Does the Adams Rite 3700 cover that or is there another device?
The Adams Rite 3700 is offered with multiple trim options and levers, with field-reversible handing, on a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile chassis. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device supplied specifically in a night latch function. If the requirement is a factory night latch narrow design device, the Sargent 8504 is the direct match; if the requirement is a fire rated narrow stile device with trim selected to suit, the 3700 is the base.
