1) What are Adams Rite 8600 series exit devices used for?
Adams Rite 8600 series are surface-mounted vertical rod exit devices for life safety applications. They provide code-compliant egress on double doors in commercial buildings. The vertical rods engage top and bottom strike plates to secure the door.

The 8600 series fits hollow metal, wood, and aluminum doors. Door thickness typically ranges from 1-3/4" to 2-1/4". Verify door preparation requirements and weight capacity with manufacturer specifications before installation.
3) How do I determine left hand vs right hand configuration?
Stand on the secure side facing the door. If hinges are on your left, it's left hand. If hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Specify inactive leaf vs active leaf when ordering for double door applications.
4) What finish options are available for the 8600 series?
Standard finishes include aluminum, dark bronze, and painted options. Some models offer stainless steel. Coordinate finish with existing door hardware for consistent appearance. Check current availability for specific finish codes.

7) What accessories are needed for installation?
Required accessories include top and bottom strike plates, mounting screws, and rod guides. Optional accessories include weather seals, cylinder dogging, and coordinating trim. Strike plates must match the door frame material and preparation.
8) What are the basic installation requirements?
Installation requires proper door preparation, frame strikes, and rod alignment. Follow manufacturer templates for drilling and cutouts. Ensure vertical rods operate smoothly and engage strikes fully. Test panic function and adjust as needed.
9) How do I maintain and adjust these exit devices?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning mechanisms, lubricating pivot points, and checking rod alignment. Adjust top and bottom rods for proper strike engagement. Test panic function monthly and verify smooth operation throughout the cycle.

11) What field conditions affect performance?
Weather exposure, temperature extremes, and high-traffic use affect device performance. Consider environmental factors when selecting finishes and sealing options. Ensure proper door alignment to prevent binding or premature wear.

Measure door height, thickness, and stile width. Note frame head and sill conditions for strike placement. Record door swing direction and active/inactive leaf designation. Verify clearances for rod travel and device operation.
