Adams Rite 5017-00-630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I have a wood framed sliding door with a recessed jamb - is the Adams Rite 5017 the right deadlock for it?
That recessed jamb is exactly why the 5017 exists. Wood sliding door systems set the jamb back, and a shallow backset lock cannot reach far enough to throw its bolt into it. The 5017 runs a deeper 1-1/4 inch backset to clear it. Measure from the face of the door edge to the centerline of the cylinder hole on your prep; if it lands at 1-1/4 inches, this is the lock. If your sliding door is metal framed instead of wood, the MS1847 is the counterpart for metal applications.
2) Will the Adams Rite 5017 deadlock fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 5017 is prepped for 1-3/4 inch doors, and that is the only thickness it covers. 1-3/4 inches is the standard commercial door thickness, so most storefront and commercial sliding panels are fine, but a thinner 1-3/8 inch residential-weight door will leave the case and through-bolts short. Confirm the panel thickness before you cut the door, because the mortise and through-bolt prep is not something you can undo.
3) Does the Adams Rite 5017 come with a cylinder, or do I have to buy that separately?
No cylinder in the box. The 5017 takes a mortise cylinder, and it accepts the standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinder, so the cam has to be the MS type rather than a generic mortise cam. Two more pieces are ordered separately depending on how you want to operate it: the 1015 turn for the inside and the 4026 cylinder pull. Budget for the lock body plus cylinder plus whichever trim you need, or the job stops halfway.
4) What is the difference between the standard and self latching versions of the Adams Rite 5017?
Two latch configurations are offered on the 5017: standard and self latching. Standard behaves as a deadlock, meaning the bolt only moves when somebody turns the cylinder or the inside turn, so the door is left unlocked until a person locks it. Self latching is the deadlatch behavior, where the bolt secures on closing without anyone keying it. For a retail or tenant door that should never sit open by accident, the self latching version is the one to order. For a door people slide back and forth all day and lock at close of business, standard is less aggravation.
5) How far does the bolt on the Adams Rite 5017 throw, and can I adjust it to hit my existing strike?
Half an inch of throw, and it is adjustable. There is a screw in the faceplate that lets you set the bolt projection, so if your strike is a hair out of position from the original lock you can dial the engagement in rather than re-cutting the jamb. The bolt itself is three-ply laminated stainless steel and self-protecting, so it will not chew itself up if the door is slid shut against a misaligned keeper while you are setting it.
6) What size pocket do I need to mortise into the door for the Adams Rite 5017 case?
The 5017 case measures 1/2 x 4 x 1-19/32 inches, so lay your prep out from those three numbers against the manufacturer template rather than eyeballing it. On top of the case pocket you need the cylinder hole at a 1-1/4 inch backset and the through-bolt holes, since the lock is secured with through-bolts rather than wood screws into the stile. Cut the case pocket, the cylinder hole, and the through-bolts in one setup and the install goes in clean.
7) Can I key an Adams Rite 5017 into the master key system already running in my building?
Yes, because the cylinder is bought separately, you pick the keyway. Order a mortise cylinder in the same keyway as the rest of the building and have your locksmith key it to the existing system, then fit it to the 5017. The one constraint is the cam: the lock takes the standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinder, so specify that cam when the cylinder is ordered. A correctly keyed cylinder with the wrong cam will not operate the bolt.
8) Can the Adams Rite 5017 deadlock be tied into an access control system?
It works with Adams Rite electric strikes, which is how the 5017 gets into a card or fob controlled opening. The lock body itself is mechanical, keyed from a mortise cylinder you supply, so the release side of the job is the strike and the credential reader, not the lock. Plan the power run and the strike prep in the jamb at the same time as the door prep.
9) What finish does the Adams Rite 5017 come in for matching aluminum storefront hardware?
628 satin aluminum, the US28 equivalent, is the finish the 5017 is supplied in. That is the standard clear anodized look most aluminum storefront and commercial sliding door hardware carries, so it will sit alongside existing pulls and closers on that kind of opening without standing out. If the rest of your doors are dark bronze or brass, the visible trim is where you would notice the difference, since the case is buried in the door.
