Adams Rite 7440-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How much room do I need in the jamb for the Adams Rite 7440 Ultraline strike?
The 7440 case measures 1-13/32 x 3-3/8 x 1-1/16 inches deep, which is why it's called Ultraline: it fits narrow aluminum stile jambs where a full-size strike body won't go. Cut your pocket to at least the 1-1/16 inch depth and leave access for the plug-in connector behind it.
2) Do I have to order the Adams Rite 7440 as fail-safe or fail-secure?
Neither, you pick it in the field. Fail-safe/fail-secure on the 7440 is selectable at install, so one part number covers an egress door that must release on power loss and a stairwell or storeroom door that must stay locked. Worth knowing: the 1,500 lbs holding force figure applies in fail-secure mode.
3) What power supply do I need for an Adams Rite 7440 electric strike, and how much current does it draw?
Voltage is field-selectable 12/24 VDC, and the strike also runs at 16 VDC. Size the supply from these draws: 0.44A at 12 VDC, 0.46A at 16 VDC, 0.23A at 24 VDC. Running it at 24 volts roughly halves the current, which matters when several strikes share one supply or you have a long wire run. Wiring lands on a quick connect plug-in connector.
4) I have a surface vertical rod exit device on a pair of doors. Can I use the Adams Rite 7440?
No. The 7440 works with deadlatches and cylindrical locksets throwing 1/2 to 5/8 inch, not with vertical rod hardware. For surface vertical rods, look at the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 complete strike pac, which is built for that application. For a rim exit device latch, the SDC 30-4 handles a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt. Ordering the 7440 for a rod device means the keeper never captures the bolt.
5) My door has a mortise lock, not a cylindrical lockset. What electric strike should I use instead of the Adams Rite 7440?
The 7440 Ultraline is built for Adams Rite deadlatches and cylindrical locksets with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, so a mortise lock calls for a different body. The Von Duprin 6210 is a heavy duty Grade 1 strike for mortise locks, 24 VDC fail-secure and UL 10C fire rated. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that handles mortise or cylindrical locks in fail-secure with a 3-hour UL 10C rating in satin stainless steel, and the Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is a fire rated Grade 1 mortise strike.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Adams Rite 7440 electric strike if I need a fire rated opening?
The 7440 Ultraline is not fire rated, so a fire door needs a different strike. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, which matches the 7440 on cylindrical lock compatibility and dual voltage. The Hager 2930 is another fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24 VDC dual voltage, and it is field reversible fail safe/fail secure the way the 7440 is field selectable.
7) Can the Adams Rite 7440 be used with a rim exit device or vertical rod exit hardware?
The 7440 Ultraline is made for Adams Rite deadlatches and cylindrical locksets with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, so exit device hardware is a different family of strike. For a rim exit device, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and latchbolt monitor, and the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete Grade 1 electric strike pac.
8) I do not know the exact jamb prep. Is there an electric strike more forgiving than the Adams Rite 7440 for a retrofit?
The 7440 Ultraline uses a compact case measuring 1-13/32 inch by 3-3/8 inch by 1-1/16 inch deep, and the related 7430/7431 carries a 6-7/8 inch faceplate that covers an MS Deadlock strike prep conversion. Where the existing prep is unknown, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with four faceplates, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike with eight faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire rated strikes. The Locknetics NC450 is a no cut strike.
9) The Adams Rite 7440 needs DC power. What electric strike works on an AC transformer?
The 7440 Ultraline is field-selectable 12/24 VDC with a quick connect plug-in connector and draws 0.44A at 12 VDC, 0.46A at 16 VDC, and 0.23A at 24 VDC. On an AC supply, the Trine 004 is a fail secure strike running 8-16VAC with a 6-1/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw, and the Trine 4300CC at 16-24VAC/DC is fail secure with a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw. Both are fire rated.
10) What finishes does the Adams Rite 7440 Ultraline strike come in for matching aluminum storefront?
Seven finishes: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 628 clear anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. The three anodized options are the ones that match standard aluminum storefront framing, dark bronze and clear being the two most common on commercial entrances. All seven are available with or without the monitoring switch.
11) My jamb centerline to door doesn't line up with the strike. Is there a fix for the Adams Rite 7440?
Lip extension kits are available for the 7440 to cover various door centerline-to-jamb dimensions. That's the standard fix when the frame sits back from the door face and a stock lip won't reach the latch. Also useful on the 7430/7431 in the same family: their 6-7/8 inch faceplate covers an MS Deadlock strike prep, which lets you convert an existing Adams Rite MS prep without patching the jamb.
12) What's the difference between the Adams Rite 7440 and a universal or modular electric strike?
The 7440 is a narrow, application-specific strike: one compact case sized for aluminum stile jambs, working with 1/2 to 5/8 inch latchbolts. A universal or modular strike ships with multiple faceplates so one part covers several frame types and preps. If you're standardizing across a mixed building, ZenSupply carries the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 with four faceplates, the CX-ED1799L-8 dual monitor Grade 1 with eight, and the Von Duprin 6400, a Grade 1 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks. For a narrow aluminum entrance specifically, the 7440's small case is the reason to pick it.
13) What's an equivalent electric strike to the Adams Rite 7440 with field selectable fail safe/fail secure?
Closest equivalents on the field-selectable function are the Hager 2925, which handles a 5/8 inch latch with field reversible fail safe/secure operation, and the Hager 2928. If you also need the latchbolt monitor the 7440 offers as an option, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and latchbolt monitor. The SDC 15 Series runs 12/24 VDC on a 5/8 inch latchbolt, and the SDC 25 Series covers 1/2 inch latchbolts. None of those share the 7440's compact Ultraline case, so check your jamb pocket before substituting.
14) How strong is the Adams Rite 7440 strike against someone pulling on the door?
Over 1,500 lbs of holding force in fail secure mode, through adjustable stainless steel keepers. That's the figure that matters on a storefront entrance or a tenant suite door where the strike, not the lock body, is the weak point in a pull attack. In fail-safe mode the strike releases on power loss by design, so the holding number applies to the fail-secure configuration.
15) Which electric strike gives latchbolt monitoring if I do not order the Adams Rite 7440 with the monitor switch option?
The 7440 Ultraline offers optional 2x Form C monitoring switches reporting latchbolt status and solenoid status, ordered as a monitoring signal switch option. If a strike with monitoring built into the model is preferred, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch with 12/24VDC and a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated dual monitor Grade 1 strike supplied with eight faceplates, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor.
16) What is a simpler electric strike than the Adams Rite 7440 for a 5/8 inch latchbolt?
The 7440 Ultraline carries field selectable fail-safe/fail-secure, optional Form C monitoring switches, and adjustable jaw inserts. Where that configurability is not needed, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for a 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 25 Series is a value strike for a 1/2 inch latchbolt. The Trine 001 Series is a light commercial fail-secure strike on a 5-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for a special offset latch entry.
17) Which electric strikes carry a Grade 1 rating if I am standardizing a facility around the Adams Rite 7440?
The 7440 Ultraline is stated as ANSI/BHMA A156.31 Grade 1 and UL 1034. Peers holding a Grade 1 rating include the Alarm Controls AES-100 heavy duty strike, the HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) body for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts, the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks, the Von Duprin 6210 for mortise locks, the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike, and the Securitron MUNL mortise strike. The Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are heavy duty strikes as well.
18) Are the HES 1500 and 1600 items a substitute for the Adams Rite 7440 electric strike?
No. The HES 1500 and HES 1600 items are electric strike accessories for those Grade 1 series, not complete strike bodies, so they do not replace a 7440 Ultraline on an opening. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 electric strike body for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts and covers the 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latchbolt projection the 7440 is designed around.
19) Is there a fire rated electric strike with a radius corner faceplate as an alternative to the Adams Rite 7440?
The 7440 Ultraline is not fire rated. The SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated electric strike with 5/8 inch latchbolt compatibility and a radius corner faceplate, which suits a jamb prepped with radius corners; the 7440 covers 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, so a 5/8 inch latch carries across.
20) Does the Adams Rite 7440 tie into ElectroLynx wiring?
Yes, ELX-ElectroLynx accessories are available for the 7440, which lets the strike plug into an ElectroLynx harness run rather than being hard-wired at the jamb. Combined with the strike's own quick connect plug-in connector, that keeps the door termination to a plug on both ends, which is what you want when the same electrician is trimming out a run of openings.
