Adams Rite 7170-510-626-00 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite 7170 electric strike work in a hollow metal frame, or do I need a different model for aluminum?
The 7170 is the hollow metal and wood jamb version. If the opening is an aluminum frame, the 7160 is the model built for aluminum applications instead. Same family, different jamb material, so pick by what the frame is made of before anything else.
2) Will the 7170 electric strike accept a mortise lock, or is it only for cylindrical locksets?
Both. The 7170 is built to release either a mortise or a cylindrical lockset, and it takes latchbolt projection up to 3/4 inch (19.1 mm). The one limit that catches people out: it handles the latchbolt only, with no deadbolt. If the mortise lock on the door throws a deadbolt into the same frame prep, this strike will not release it.
3) What size frame cutout does the Adams Rite 7170 electric strike need?
The faceplate is 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches, and the strike body case is 1 x 3-3/8 x 1-7/8 inches deep. That 4-7/8 inch faceplate is the standard ANSI strike prep size, so on a frame already prepped for a 4-7/8 inch strike it drops in without cutting new metal. Check the jamb has the depth behind the prep for the case.
4) Do I have to decide fail-safe or fail-secure when I order the Adams Rite 7170?
Fail-safe and fail-secure are field selectable on the 7170, set at installation. That said, the ordering options do break out into Fail-Safe, Fail-Safe/Monitored, Fail-Secure and Fail-Secure/Monitored, so specify the configuration you want. Practically: fail-safe unlocks on power loss, which is what an egress-path or stair door usually needs; fail-secure stays locked when power drops, which is what most exterior and tenant doors want.
5) What voltage power supply do I need for an Adams Rite 7170 electric strike, and how much current does it pull?
The 7170 is offered in 12, 16 or 24 volt, AC or DC, so you order to match the supply you already have on the job. Current draw runs 0.33A at 12 VDC, 1.42A at 12 VAC, 0.22A at 16 VDC, 0.63A at 16 VAC, 0.17A at 24 VDC and 0.74A at 24 VAC. If you are running several strikes off one supply, 24 VDC is the lightest load on it by a wide margin, and the AC figures are what will size your transformer if you go that route.
6) Can I use the Adams Rite 7170 electric strike on a rim exit device or surface vertical rod door?
No. The 7170 releases a mortise or cylindrical lockset latchbolt and is not made for exit device hardware. For a rim exit device use a rim strike such as the Hager 2945, which is fire rated with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor, or the SDC 30-4 rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac built for that application.
7) The opening is a fire rated door - what electric strike should be used instead of the Adams Rite 7170?
The Adams Rite 7170 carries a fire rating of No, so a fire rated opening calls for a different strike. For a cylindrical or mortise lockset there is the Hager 2930, a fire rated Grade 1 electric strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/secure operation. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular electric strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel, fail-secure, with a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating. The Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is a fire rated Grade 1 strike in the MUNL series for mortise locks.
8) Which electric strike carries an ANSI Grade 1 rating as an alternative to the Adams Rite 7170?
For a facility standard that calls out ANSI Grade 1 on the strike, several peers state that grade directly. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable voltage and a fire rating. The Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike for mortise locks, 24 VDC fail-secure, UL 10C fire rated. The Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike in the AES series. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 fire rated strike body that accepts 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts, which covers the same 3/4 inch maximum latch projection the Adams Rite 7170 handles.
9) Which electric strikes look like an Adams Rite 7170 substitute but will not work in a hollow metal or wood jamb behind a mortise or cylindrical lock?
The Adams Rite 7170 mounts in a hollow metal or wood jamb behind a mortise or cylindrical lockset and accepts latch projection up to 3/4 inch with no deadbolt; the 7160 is the aluminum door version of the same design. Several peers are electric strikes but built for a different opening. The SDC 30-4 is a rim mount strike for 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolts, and the Hager 2945 is a rim exit strike, both of which serve exit device rims rather than a lockset latch. The HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac for surface vertical rods. The Camden CX-ED1959 series is an outdoor rated gate strike. The Rockwood ESK-DBL is a double door strike with a 3/4 keeper in the 310-1 series. The HES 1500 and 1600 listings are accessories for those strike series rather than strike bodies.
10) The jamb prep does not match the strike faceplate - what electric strike works without recutting?
The Adams Rite 7170 is modular: a strike body kit is matched with a faceplate kit, and lip extension kits cover different door centerline-to-jamb dimensions. Where a single faceplate will not cover an existing prep, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with 4 faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with 8 faceplates. The Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire rated strikes. The Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike in the NC series.
11) The available power supply is AC, not DC - which electric strikes accept it besides the Adams Rite 7170?
The Adams Rite 7170 runs on 12, 16 or 24 volts AC or DC and is ordered by the specific voltage, including 12 VAC, 16 VAC and 24 VAC. Among peers, the Trine 004 runs on 8-16VAC, is fail secure and fire rated, with a 6-1/4 in x 1-3/8 in faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw. The Trine 2001 runs on 16-24VAC/DC, is fail secure and fire rated, with a 5-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw. Strikes such as the Von Duprin 4211 at 12/24 VDC, the Von Duprin 6210 at 24 VDC, the Hager 2930 at 12/24VDC, the Dortronics 3300 at 12/24VDC and the SDC 15 at 12/24 VDC state DC operation.
12) The lock has a 5/8 inch or 1/2 inch latchbolt rather than 3/4 inch - which electric strike suits it?
The Adams Rite 7170 accepts latch projection up to 3/4 inch with no deadbolt, so a shorter latch still falls within it. Where a strike sized to the shorter throw is wanted, the Hager 2925 is built around a 5/8 inch latch with field reversible fail safe/secure operation, the SDC 15 Series is a 5/8 inch latchbolt strike with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with a radius corner faceplate. For a 1/2 inch latch there is the SDC 25 Series. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body spans the range, accepting 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts.
13) Can I monitor whether the door is latched with the 7170 strike, or do I need a separate door contact?
Two optional Form C monitoring switches are available on the 7170, one reporting latchbolt status and one reporting jaw position. Together they tell your access control panel whether the latch is actually thrown into the keeper and whether the strike jaw has relocked, which is more than a door position contact gives you. They are an ordering option, so specify one of the Monitored configurations if you want them.
14) My door centerline does not line up with the jamb. Can the Adams Rite 7170 still catch the latch?
Lip extension kits are made for the 7170 to cover various door centerline-to-jamb dimensions, so an offset opening can still be caught without moving the frame prep. Measure the centerline-to-jamb dimension on the existing opening and size the lip to it.
15) Do I order the 7170 strike as one part, or is the faceplate separate?
Modular packaging: the 7170 goes together as a strike body kit plus a matching faceplate kit. So the order is two matched pieces, not one boxed assembly. Pair the faceplate to the body, and pick the finish at the same time, 313 Dark Bronze Anodized, 335 Black Anodized, 626 Satin Chrome or 628 Clear Anodized.
16) I need a Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike. Is the Adams Rite 7170 one, or should I look at something else?
For a spec that calls out Grade 1 heavy duty by name, look at the Von Duprin 4211 for cylindrical locks (Grade 1, heavy duty, fire rated, 12/24 VDC field-selectable), the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks (Grade 1, heavy duty, UL 10C fire rated, 24 VDC fail-secure), or the Alarm Controls AES-100, a Grade 1 heavy duty unit. The Adams Rite 7170 carries UL 1034 and UL 294 6th Edition listings, which is what an access control spec usually asks for, but a Grade 1 line item is better matched by those.
17) What is a simpler electric strike than the Adams Rite 7170 for a light commercial opening?
The Adams Rite 7170 is a commercial unit with field-selectable fail-safe/fail-secure operation, optional dual Form C monitor switches, and six voltage choices across 12, 16 and 24 volts AC and DC. Where an opening does not need that range, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in faceplate. The RCI 15BS is an economy strike for special offset latch entry with fail-secure operation. The SDC 15 Series is a value strike for 5/8 inch latchbolts with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 25 Series is a value strike for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility. Note that the Trine 001, the RCI 15BS and the Adams Rite 7170 are all fire rating No.
18) Which electric strike provides latchbolt monitoring if the Adams Rite 7170 is not used?
The Adams Rite 7170 offers two optional Form C monitor switches reporting latchbolt status and jaw position, and is ordered in monitored or unmonitored fail-safe and fail-secure configurations. Peers that state monitoring include the Dortronics 3300 Series, which has a latch bolt sensing switch and runs on 12/24VDC; the Hager 2945, a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor; and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8, a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with 8 faceplates.
19) Which heavy duty electric strikes compare with the Adams Rite 7170 for a high traffic entrance?
For an opening cycled hard, several peers state a heavy duty rating. The Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike in the AES series. The Locknetics MDS100 US32D and Locknetics MS100 US32D are both heavy duty strikes, in the MDS and MS series respectively. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel. The Adams Rite 7170 is a commercial unit with stainless steel construction, serving mortise or cylindrical locks in hollow metal or wood jambs.
20) What finishes does the Adams Rite 7170 electric strike come in, and will one match the aluminum storefront doors elsewhere in my building?
Four finishes on the 7170: 313 Dark Bronze Anodized, 335 Black Anodized, 626 Satin Chrome and 628 Clear Anodized. The anodized options are the ones that match typical storefront frame finishes. Worth flagging for a fleet of doors though, the 7170 is the hollow metal and wood jamb model. If the storefront frames themselves are aluminum, the 7160 is the model for those openings.
21) Is the Adams Rite 7170 electric strike suitable for an exterior gate or an outdoor opening?
The 7170 is a commercial strike for hollow metal and wood jambs, with no outdoor rating stated for it. For a gate or a weather-exposed opening, the Camden CX-ED1959 Series is the outdoor rated gate strike to look at instead.
22) Does an alternative electric strike come in a satin chrome or stainless look to match the Adams Rite 7170?
The Adams Rite 7170 is finished in 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 626 satin chrome, or 628 clear anodized. Among peers in a matching satin stainless family, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel, the Von Duprin 4211 is supplied in 32D, and the Locknetics CS450, MDS100, MS100 and NC450 are all 32D or US32D. The Rockwood double door strike carries a 3/4 keeper.
