Installation & Operation

  1. Review manufacturer specifications and verify door preparation requirements including door thickness (1" to 1-1/4") and wood frame construction compatibility.
  2. Use manufacturer-provided templates to mark mounting hole locations accurately on door and frame surfaces for through-bolt installation.
  3. Prepare door and frame by drilling required holes for the 1/2" x 4" x 1-19/32" case and routing as specified in manufacturer instructions.
  4. Install through-bolts to secure the case, inside 1004 Turn Lever, and outside 1016 Blank Plate escutcheon per manufacturer torque specifications.
  5. Adjust hookbolt throw using the screw in the faceplate to achieve proper engagement with the 4810 Box Strike for wood.
  6. Test 45° rotation of 1004 Turn Lever to verify proper bolt projection and retraction, and confirm self-protecting operation when door closes with bolt extended. Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete installation details and troubleshooting.

Adams Rite 5500-20-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the Adams Rite 5500 deadlock need in the door edge?
1-1/4 inch backset, measured including the faceplate. The lock case itself is 1/2 x 4 x 1-19/32 inches, so the pocket routed into the stile has to clear those dimensions. On a narrow sliding panel that 1-1/4 inch backset is what keeps the cylinder and turn hardware inside the stile instead of running off the edge of the glass or panel.
2) What comes in the Adams Rite 5500 deadlock set, and do I need to buy anything else?
The set covers the 5017 Deadlock/Deadlatch with the adjustable hookbolt, the 1004 Turn Lever for the interior, and the 1016 Blank Plate escutcheon for the exterior with emergency override access. The 4810 Box Strike is what it locks into. Note the exterior side is a blank plate, so if you want key access from outside you need a standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinder, which the lock accepts.
3) Is the Adams Rite 5500 deadlock rated for a commercial building or is it residential grade?
Grade 1 and specified as commercial. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier, the one written into most institutional and commercial hardware schedules, so it will pass a spec calling for Grade 1 on a sliding opening. Stainless steel case construction with the 1000 lb strength rating behind it.
4) How is the Adams Rite 5500 deadlock fastened to the door?
Through-bolted. The case, the 1004 Turn Lever inside, and the 1016 Blank Plate escutcheon outside all pull together through the panel, which is why the door thickness has to fall in the 1 to 1-1/4 inch range for the bolts to land right. Prep is a routed pocket for the 1/2 x 4 x 1-19/32 inch case plus the marked mounting holes off the manufacturer template. Faceplate is 5/8 inch.
5) How does the interior side of the Adams Rite 5500 operate, and can someone get locked out?
Inside, the 1004 Turn Lever throws and retracts the hookbolt with a 45 degree rotation, no key needed. Outside is the 1016 Blank Plate, which carries emergency override access rather than everyday key operation. The bolt is self protecting if the door closes with the bolt extended, so a tenant who slides the panel shut on a thrown bolt will not damage the lock.
6) Can I add key or card access to an Adams Rite 5500 deadlock later?
Yes on the key side. The lock takes standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinders, so a cylinder can be added or rekeyed into the existing prep without changing the lock case. The 5500 is also compatible with Adams Rite electric strikes if you are running the opening onto access control. Keep in mind this is a mechanical hookbolt deadlock, not a motorized lock.
