Adams Rite 3701 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What electrified options can I get on the Adams Rite 3700 exit device?
Three electrified choices plus a mechanical version: alarm, EL electric latch retraction, or MLR motorized latch retraction. If you pick EL you also have to specify 12V or 24V on the order. Request-to-exit style monitoring is a separate choice, single switch or dual switch, or none at all.
2) What electric strike works with the Adams Rite 3700 rim device?
The Adams Rite 7800 Series electric strike is the matched strike for the 3700 rim device. Pair it with the 3700 when you want access control on the pull side while keeping free mechanical egress.
3) Do I need a mullion to put the Adams Rite 3700 on a pair of doors?
Yes. A rim device latches into a strike at the strike jamb, so on a pair you need a mullion between the leaves to give the latch something to catch. If you don't want a mullion in the opening, use a vertical rod device instead, for example the Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device.
4) I have a narrow stile aluminum storefront door that is not fire rated. What rim device can I use instead of the Adams Rite 3700?
For a non-rated narrow stile aluminum opening, the narrow stile rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 in 36 inch, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 in 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R exit only in 36 inch, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO at 42 inch, the BEST Precision 2401, the Detex 40 Advantex, and the Sargent 8504 night latch. All are narrow stile rim devices; the Corbin, TownSteel, Falcon and Detex entries are Grade 1. The Adams Rite 3700 stays the choice when the opening needs a fire rating.
5) What is the closest fire-rated narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite 3700 Series?
Within narrow stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series carries both a fire rating and ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. If the opening tolerates a wide stile device, the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F is offered as a fire-rated rim device in both 36 inch and 48 inch lengths. Dexter's ED1000-R-F-EO is a fire-rated Grade 1 rim device as well. The narrow stile alternatives such as the TownSteel ED3700 and Corbin Russwin ED4200 are Grade 1 narrow stile but are not fire rated, so they do not cover a fire-rated opening.
6) What size opening will the Adams Rite 3700 cover?
Single doors up to 4 ft by 10 ft, and pairs up to 8 ft by 10 ft. The 48 inch device length is the one to use on wider leaves.
7) Do I have to order the Adams Rite 3700 handed?
No. Handing is field reversible on the 3700, so one device covers left or right hand openings. That matters for a property manager stocking spares across a building, one part number covers every door.
8) Can the Adams Rite 3700 be locked or unlocked from outside, or is it exit only?
The 3700 accepts trim. Multiple trim and lever options are offered, plus cylinder-controlled functions, so you can set it up for outside access rather than exit only. Egress from inside is always single motion panic proof regardless of the outside trim.
9) Is the TownSteel ED3700 the same thing as the Adams Rite 3700 Series since the series number matches?
No. The matching series number is a coincidence between two manufacturers. Both are narrow stile rim exit devices and both are Grade 1, but the TownSteel ED3700 is offered as a 36 inch heavy duty device and is not fire rated, while the Adams Rite 3700 Series is fire rated and offered here at 48 inch with electrified options including electric latch retraction and motorized latch retraction plus single or dual monitoring switches. Order by manufacturer part number, not by the number 3700 alone.
10) Can I use a Cal-Royal A9820 in place of the Adams Rite 3700 Series on a fire door?
No. The Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim exit device, exit only, listed as Grade 2 heavy duty and not fire rated, as is the Cal-Royal A9800 at 36 inch. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated, so the two are not interchangeable on a fire-rated opening or where a Grade 1 device is specified. Use the A9820 only where a non-rated exit-only device is acceptable.
11) What are my options if I need electrified latch retraction and I am comparing against the Adams Rite 3700 Series?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is offered with electric latch retraction or motorized latch retraction, an alarm option, and single or dual monitoring switches, with 12V or 24V specified when the electric latch option is chosen. Comparable electrified rim products include the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A classroom trim, the SDC S6136 Spectra electrified architectural rim device on a 4 inch wide stile, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is offered with RX and MELR. Of these, only the Adams Rite is a fire-rated narrow stile device.
12) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Adams Rite 3700 rim exit device?
They are different devices. The SDC PSB560 SureExit pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar are 36 inch bars that release an electromagnetic lock rather than operating a latch, and neither is fire rated. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a mechanical rim exit device with its own latch, is fire rated, and pairs with the 7800 Series electric strike. Choose the SDC bars only on a mag-lock opening; choose the 3700 when the door needs latching hardware.
13) I need a fire-rated rim device but the door is narrower than 48 inches. What else is available?
Fire-rated rim devices in shorter lengths include the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inch, the Orca OED85 at 36 inch, and the Marks USA M9900F at 36 inch, all exit-only style rim devices. The Adams Rite 3700 Series in 48 inch suits wider leaves, covering single doors up to 4 feet by 10 feet and pairs up to 8 feet by 10 feet. Confirm the stile type on your door, since the Adams Rite is the narrow stile aluminum option.
14) Does the Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod device do the same job as the Adams Rite 3700 rim device?
No, they latch differently. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device and the Hager 4501 is the wide stile pushpad version, both 36 inch and not fire rated; vertical rod devices latch into the head and sill and require door prep for concealed rods. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame, is fire rated, and works with the 7800 Series electric strike. Match the device type to the prep already in the door.
15) What finishes does the Adams Rite 3700 come in to match my other storefront hardware?
Seven: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 628 clear anodized, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. On aluminum storefront, 313 and 628 are the usual matches to existing door finish. The touchbar itself is stainless steel.
16) What fasteners are used to mount the Adams Rite 3700 exit device?
Standard machine screws. The device body is extruded aluminum and mounts to the door face with machine screws per the Adams Rite template, so plan the door prep for tapped holes rather than self-drillers.
17) I want to standardize finishes across a building. How does the Adams Rite 3700 finish range compare to other rim devices?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is offered in 313 Dark Bronze Anodized, 335 Black Anodized, 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 628 Clear Anodized, 629 Bright Stainless Steel and 630 Satin Stainless Steel, which covers both the anodized aluminum finishes typical of storefront and the brass and stainless BHMA numbers used elsewhere in a facility. That range lets one device family carry both the aluminum entrances and the fire-rated interior openings, with the touchbar in stainless steel.
