Adams Rite 8801 42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door types is the Adams Rite 8800 Life Safety designed for?
This device is specifically engineered for aluminum narrow stile doors. The 42-inch width accommodates most standard commercial aluminum door applications. Verify door stile width and mounting surface before ordering.
2) What is the starwheel mechanism and how does it work?
The starwheel mechanism provides precise adjustment for proper latch engagement. It allows fine-tuning of the device position to ensure reliable operation with varying door tolerances. This adjustability is critical for proper life safety function.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this exit device?
Handing is determined from the egress side of the door. Stand on the side people exit from and observe which way the door swings. Right hand if it swings away to the right, left hand if it swings away to the left.
4) What finish options are available for the 8800 series?
Adams Rite typically offers multiple finishes including aluminum, dark bronze, and other architectural finishes. Check the specific product listing or contact our team to confirm available finishes for this model.
5) What is the life safety grade of this exit device?
This is a life safety rated device designed for emergency egress applications. It meets commercial building code requirements for panic hardware. Verify local code compliance and AHJ requirements for your specific application.
6) Does this device meet ADA and accessibility requirements?
Exit devices must operate with maximum 15 pounds of force to meet ADA requirements. The Adams Rite 8800 is designed for commercial applications but verify force specifications and local accessibility code compliance.
7) What strike and mounting hardware is needed?
This rim exit device requires compatible Adams Rite strikes and mounting hardware. The specific strike depends on frame type and configuration. Review manufacturer templates and hardware schedules for complete installation requirements.
8) What are the basic installation requirements?
Installation requires proper door preparation, accurate strike alignment, and starwheel adjustment. Follow Adams Rite installation templates exactly. Ensure door is properly hung and adjusted before installing exit device hardware.
9) How do I adjust the starwheel mechanism properly?
Use the adjustment tool to turn the starwheel incrementally. Test latch engagement after each adjustment. The device should fully retract when activated and securely engage when released. Make small adjustments to avoid over-correction.
10) What regular maintenance does this device require?
Check operation monthly by pressing the push rail and verifying smooth operation. Clean debris from latch area and lubricate pivot points annually. Inspect mounting screws and hardware for tightness during routine maintenance.
11) Are there other Adams Rite models similar to the 8800?
Adams Rite offers various exit device models for different door types and applications. The 8800 series is specifically for aluminum doors. Consider other Adams Rite models for different door materials or configurations.
