Adams Rite 3701 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Adams Rite 3700 rim device cover?
1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches. That upper end matters: standard commercial doors are 1-3/4 inch, and most rim devices stop there, so if you have a thicker entrance door or an insulated aluminum unit up to 2-1/4 inches, the 3700 covers it where a 1-3/4 inch only device won't. Cylinder length follows the door: mortise cylinders run 1 inch to 1-1/4 inch.
2) Do I have to order the Adams Rite 3700 rim device left or right handed?
No handing to specify. The 3700 is field reversible, so one device covers both swings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single part number on the shelf instead of a left and a right.
3) What electrified options can I get on the Adams Rite 3700, and what voltage do I need to specify?
Four choices on the electrified axis: none, Alarm, EL electric latch retraction, and MLR motorized latch retraction. If you pick EL, you have to specify voltage, 12V or 24V, at the time of order. EL and MLR both pull the latch back electrically so the door can be released from an access control system or a card reader with no one touching the bar; Alarm is a local sounder on the device instead. Choose none if the opening is straight mechanical egress.
4) Which electric strike works with the Adams Rite 3700 rim exit device?
The Adams Rite 7800 Series electric strike is the stated match for the 3700. Pairing the rim device with the 7800 gets you remote release from the outside while egress stays mechanical through the touchbar. If you go that route on a fire door, the strike has to be a fire rated model as well.
5) What is the alternative to the Adams Rite 3700 if my door has a wide stile?
The 3700 is sized to a 3-3/4 inch narrow stile and is the wrong device for a wide stile door. For wide stile, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch rim device that accepts trim, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 36 inch non-handed pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither of those is listed as fire rated; if the opening is a fire door, the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch is a fire rated rim device.
6) What is the closest fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite 3700 Series at 36 inches?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a 36-inch narrow stile rim exit device with a UL 10C fire listing and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 construction, and it is compatible with wood doors as well as narrow stile aluminum. Among comparable fire-rated rim devices, the Orca Hardware OED85 Series is a 36-inch fire-rated rim exit device in an exit-only function, and the Marks USA M9900F is a 36-inch fire-rated rim device, also exit only. The Adams Rite differs from both in that it carries trim options and levers, electric latch retraction, and monitoring switch configurations rather than a fixed exit-only function.
7) Which narrow stile rim exit device works on a 36 inch opening that does not need a fire rating?
If the opening is not a fire door, several narrow stile rim devices cover 36 inches. The TownSteel ED3700 is a 36-inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, heavy duty, with no fire rating; the TownSteel ED8900 is the same 36-inch narrow stile Grade 1 arrangement in a different series. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36-inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-R is a 36-inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in exit only. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is the one to carry forward when the door is fire rated, since it is UL 10C listed.
8) Can a wide stile rim exit device be used in place of the Adams Rite 3700 Series?
Not on a narrow stile aluminum door. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is built for narrow stile aluminum construction with a minimum 2 inch stile width. Wide stile rim devices such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches, the Von Duprin 22-3FT at 36 inches, the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches, and the Detex 10 Advantex at 36 inches are all Grade 1 rim devices, but they are specified as wide stile and need the wider rail to land on. Confirm the stile the door actually has before swapping either direction.
9) What narrow stile exit device should be used on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which covers thicker leaves. Most comparable narrow stile rim devices are specified at 1-3/4 inch only, including the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R, and the Falcon 1790EO. Measure the leaf at the lock stile before ordering, because a device built for 1-3/4 inch will not make up the difference on a 2 inch door.
10) What finishes does the Adams Rite 3700 exit device come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Seven finishes: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 628 clear anodized, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. For matching aluminum storefront, 313 dark bronze and 628 clear anodized are the two that line up with standard anodized door framing. 630 satin stainless is the usual pick where the rest of the building's hardware is brushed stainless.
11) Rim device or vertical rod for a narrow stile aluminum door?
A rim device like the Adams Rite 3700 latches into a strike on the frame at the lock stile, which is the simpler install and the fewer moving parts. It needs a frame or a mullion to latch into, so on a pair of doors with no center mullion it has nothing to catch. That's the case for a vertical rod device, which latches at the head and the threshold instead. We carry the Hager 4601 as a narrow stile concealed vertical rod option for that pair-of-doors situation.
12) I need a fire rated rim exit device for a 36 inch door. What are my choices besides the Adams Rite 3700?
Three other fire rated rim devices we carry: the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch exit only, the Orca Hardware OED85 36 inch, and the Dexter ED1000-R-F Grade 1 fire rated rim device. The Arrow FS1250 is fire rated but only 32 inches. What separates the Adams Rite 3700 from all of them is the narrow stile build at 3-3/4 inches, so it's the one that goes on an aluminum storefront door where the others need more rail.
13) What else do I need to order to finish an Adams Rite 3700 install?
The device mounts with standard machine screws and Adams Rite supplies templates for the door and frame prep. Beyond the device you'll need to settle the cylinder, a mortise cylinder in 1 inch to 1-1/4 inch length or a rim cylinder depending on the keying function you want, and outside trim or lever if the opening is anything other than exit only. If you're going electrified, add the 7800 electric strike and specify 12V or 24V for an EL device.
14) Is the Adams Rite 3700 exit device rated for a school or hospital egress door?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the highest durability grade in the standard, and UL 10C fire door listed. It's a commercial-rated device with single-motion panic-proof egress, which is what life safety code asks for on an exit: one push on the bar releases the latch with no prior knowledge or separate motion. That combination is what specifiers want on educational and healthcare egress openings.
15) Does the Adams Rite 3700 accept outside levers and trim, or is it exit only?
Multiple trim options and levers are available for the 3700, so it isn't limited to exit only. That's the split to watch when cross-shopping: the Falcon 19-R and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 we carry are exit only devices with no outside operation at all. If the door needs keyed or lever entry from outside, the 3700 handles it with the appropriate trim and cylinder.
16) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 3700 Series and an electrified exit bar like the SDC MSB550 or PSB560?
They solve different problems. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a mechanical rim latch device with panic-proof single-motion egress, offered with electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, or alarm as an electrified option and single or dual monitoring switches. The SDC MSB550 Series 36-inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36-inch pressure sense bar works the same way through a pressure sensor with tri-failsafe technology; both are switch bars for maglock openings and are not fire rated. If the door is a fire door needing a latching device, the switch bars are not a substitute.
17) Which narrow stile device covers a 48 inch opening instead of 36 inches?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series covers a 36-inch opening. For wider leaves, the Cal-Royal A9820 Series is a 48-inch rim exit device in exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48-inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F is available as a 48-inch fire-rated rim device. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for a 48-inch minimum door width. Note that those are wide stile devices apart from the Marks, so verify the stile before specifying.
18) Is a concealed vertical rod device an equivalent to the Adams Rite 3700 Series?
No. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a rim device that latches to a strike on the frame and pairs with the 7800 Series electric strike. The Hager 4601 Series is a 36-inch Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, and the Hager 4501 is the wide stile version of the same arrangement; those latch top and bottom through rods concealed in the door and need a door prepared for that, not a rim strike. A rim device and a concealed vertical rod device are not interchangeable in an existing prep.
19) What narrow stile rim device is available with a night latch function rather than exit only?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series takes multiple trim options and levers, so the outside function is set by the trim ordered with it. Among comparable narrow stile devices, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device supplied in a night latch function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that accepts trim. Devices listed as exit only, such as the Falcon 1590EO and the Marks USA M8800 at 36 inches, have no outside operation at all.
20) Which Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices standardize across a facility alongside the Adams Rite 3700 Series?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with field-reversible handing, so one part number covers both hands. Comparable Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices include the Detex 40 Advantex Series, rated extra heavy duty; the Dormakaba QED200 and the Stanley Security QED200 Series, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow devices; and the BEST 2401 Series, a non-handed narrow stile rim device in exit only. Where the facility has fire doors in the mix, the 3700 Series is the one in this group carrying a UL 10C listing.
21) What is the touchbar on the Adams Rite 3700 made of?
Stainless steel touchbar, on an extruded aluminum device body. On a high traffic exit, the touchbar is the part that takes the abuse, and stainless holds up to it better than a painted or plated bar that shows wear. Worth knowing if you're spec'ing for a school corridor or a retail exit that cycles all day.
22) What is the difference between a touchbar rim device and a crossbar rim device?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series uses a stainless steel touchbar or crossbar actuator across the door face with single-motion panic-proof egress. Among comparables, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48-inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48-inch crossbar rim panic device in a wide stile exit-only arrangement, while the CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of the same series. The actuator style changes the look and the reach across the leaf, not whether the device latches to a rim strike.
