Adams Rite 8801 30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Adams Rite 8800 exit device handed, or do I order left and right separately?
Non-handed. One device covers both left and right hand doors, and handing is set in the field, so you can stock a single part number across a building instead of splitting your order by swing.
2) Does the Adams Rite 8800 come with a cylinder, or do I have to buy one?
The cylinder is separate. The 8800 takes any standard 1-5/32 inch diameter rim cylinder, such as the Adams Rite 8736 rim cylinder. That means you can key it into an existing system with the keyway you already use, as long as the cylinder is a standard rim size.
3) What strike comes with the Adams Rite 8800 rim device, and will it work in a 4 inch jamb?
Both strikes ship in the box: a standard strike and a narrow version for centering doors in a 4 inch jamb. So a typical storefront jamb condition is covered without a separate strike order. If the opening is electrified access control, the device is set up to work with the Adams Rite 7800 Series electric strike.
4) What electrified options can I get on the Adams Rite 8800, and what do I have to specify?
Three electrified choices beyond the plain mechanical device: EL electric latch retraction, MLR motorized latch retraction, or an alarm version. If you take EL, you must state the voltage, 12V or 24V, on the order. Latch monitoring is a separate choice: none, a single switch, or a dual switch, which is what you want when the access control panel needs both latch and request-to-exit signals back.
5) I need an electrified exit bar on a narrow stile door for access control. Is the Adams Rite 8800 the right pick or is there another option?
The 8800 handles it directly, with EL electric latch retraction or MLR motorized latch retraction in 12V or 24V, plus optional latch monitoring. If instead you want a sensor bar that releases a maglock rather than a latch, the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar both fit narrow or wide stile. Different job: those signal a lock to release, they don't latch the door themselves.
6) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite 8800 if I need Grade 1 on an aluminum storefront door?
The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device for aluminum doors, non-handed, with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Close narrow stile Grade 1 peers include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices in 36 inch; the Falcon 19-R, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Detex 40 Advantex, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The Adams Rite is the one of that group carrying a door thickness range up to 2-1/4 inch, which matters on thicker aluminum stiles.
7) I need a rim exit device on a fire rated opening - can I use the Adams Rite 8800?
The Adams Rite 8800 Series is not carried as a fire rated device. For a fire rated opening, go to a device listed fire rated: the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim exit device, the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, and the Marks USA M9900F comes fire rated in both 36 inch and 48 inch exit only. Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device if the opening is wide stile rather than narrow.
8) What is the difference between the Adams Rite 8800 with electric latch retraction and an electrified bar like the SDC Spectra S6136 or Securitron EMB?
The Adams Rite 8800 is a mechanical Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device offered with an EL electric latch retraction or MLR motorized latch retraction option and single or dual monitoring switches, with the latching hardware on the door. The SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device built for a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than latching itself, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar - both are fitted to narrow or wide stile. If the opening is held by a maglock, the switch bar or sense bar is the device type; if the door latches into a strike, the 8800 or the S6136 is.
9) How much does the Adams Rite 8800 touchbar stick out into the opening?
Projection is 2-5/8 inches off the face of the door. That matters where the door swings into a vestibule, a corridor with a clear width requirement, or near a return wall, and it's the number to check against a push side clearance before you commit.
10) Can you dog the Adams Rite 8800 open during business hours?
Yes, and you pick how. Standard hex key dogging is included, and cylinder dogging is available as an ordered option if you want a keyed hold-open instead of an allen wrench. For a retail or office front that stays unlocked during the day, cylinder dogging keeps staff from needing a loose hex key. Cylinder dogging is a required yes or no choice when ordering.
11) Is the Adams Rite 8800 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It's ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the top commercial duty tier, and it's specified as a commercial product. That's the rating a school entrance, a hospital lobby, or a busy retail front should be carrying. Narrow stile Grade 1 alternatives we stock include the Detex 40 Advantex, the TownSteel ED8900, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
12) What do I need on hand to install the Adams Rite 8800 on an aluminum door?
Mounting is with machine screws, and both strikes come in the box, so the fastening and strike side is covered. Budget separately for a rim cylinder if the opening needs keyed outside access, and for trim or a lever if it isn't exit-only. One install note on aluminum: stile wall modifications may be needed if the stile wall isn't 1/8 inch.
13) Is a crossbar rim device like the CRL Jackson 1095 or Corbin Russwin ED3200 a substitute for the Adams Rite 8800 touchbar?
They are different bar types on different doors. The Adams Rite 8800 is a narrow stile device for aluminum doors with a stainless steel touchbar and 30 inch length. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device on a wide stile door, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for wide stile 1-3/4 inch doors. A crossbar stands off the door face rather than sitting as a flush pushbar, and neither is built to the narrow stile aluminum prep the 8800 uses. The CRL Jackson 1295 is the push pad version in that family, non-handed and wide stile.
14) I need a night latch or keyed outside trim function rather than exit only - what works alongside the Adams Rite 8800?
The Adams Rite 8800 takes any standard 1-5/32 inch diameter rim cylinder, such as the 8736 rim cylinder sold separately, so outside key access is added at the cylinder. If you want a device catalogued in the night latch function itself, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in night latch function. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim. Among narrow stile peers the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is listed exit only and accepts trim, while the Arrow 4800, Falcon 1590EO, Falcon 1790EO and Falcon 19-R are exit only.
15) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601 an alternative to the Adams Rite 8800 rim device?
They latch differently. The Adams Rite 8800 is a rim device: it latches into a strike on the jamb, and both a standard strike and a narrow strike for centering doors in a 4 inch jamb are included. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device in 36 inch, and the Hager 4501 is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad. Vertical rod devices latch into the head and sill instead of the jamb, so the door and frame prep is not interchangeable with a rim strike opening. Hager's rim equivalent is the 4701, a 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification.
16) What finishes does the Adams Rite 8800 exit device come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Seven finishes, covering the usual storefront palette: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 628 clear anodized, plus 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless and 630 satin stainless. For matching an existing aluminum storefront, 313 and 628 are the two that pair with the typical dark bronze and clear anodized frames.
17) What narrow stile rim device has hex key dogging like the Adams Rite 8800?
The Adams Rite 8800 comes with standard hex key dogging and cylinder dogging as a selectable option. Among narrow stile Grade 1 peers, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device with hex-key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is the Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device in a 36 inch size. The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the 2000R is the standard duty 33 inch version with hex key dogging on a wide stile door.
