Adams Rite EX89-R628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 3/4 inch Pullman latch on the Adams Rite EX89 do differently from a standard exit device latch?
The EX89 uses a 3/4 inch Pullman latch bolt with an interlocking design rather than a plain beveled latch. The interlock resists the door being pried or forced apart at the lock edge, which is the weak point on a narrow stile aluminum door. Egress is still single motion and panic proof, and the device releases under 20 lbs preload.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Adams Rite EX89?
No handing to specify. The EX89 is field reversible, so one device covers either swing and a property manager can stock a single spare for a run of storefront doors. Order by length, finish, and whether you want the monitoring switch.
3) Can I use an electric strike with the Adams Rite EX89 rim device for card access?
Yes. The EX89 is compatible with the Adams Rite 74R1 electric strike and with the 7800 Series electric strike. Electric latch retraction is also available on the device itself if you would rather retract the latch than release a strike, which is the usual choice when you want free entry during business hours.
4) I need a 42 inch narrow stile rim device - what else comes in that length besides the Adams Rite EX89?
The EX89 is offered in a 42 inch bar length in dark bronze, black and clear anodized. For the same length in another brand, the Falcon 1590EO is a 42 inch narrow stile Grade 1 rim device, exit only, and the Falcon 1790EO is also a 42 inch narrow stile Grade 1 rim device, exit only. Both Falcon devices are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors; the EX89 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-3/4 inch thickness and is field reversible.
5) The Adams Rite EX89 will not work on my door because the stile is too wide - what should I use instead?
The EX89 is built for narrow stile aluminum doors and is not intended for wood doors. On a wide stile opening, Grade 1 wide stile rim devices in the same class include the Von Duprin 22 series 36 inch non-handed pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch wide stile rim device that accepts trim, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch extra heavy duty wide stile device, and the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty wide stile device.
6) Which narrow stile exit devices look like substitutes for the Adams Rite EX89 but are not?
Two categories to watch. First, concealed vertical rod devices: the Hager 4601 is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile device, but it is concealed vertical rod, not rim, so it needs top and bottom door prep the EX89 rim mounting does not. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied with a 7 ft rod for the same reason. Second, the SDC MSB550 and SDC PSB560 36 inch bars fit narrow or wide stile but are a mechanical switch bar and a pressure sense bar respectively, meant to release an electromagnetic lock rather than throw a latch bolt like the EX89 Pullman latch.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - will the Adams Rite EX89 still work or do I need another device?
The EX89 accommodates door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inch to 2-3/4 inch, which is the widest range among comparable rim devices. Most peers are listed at 1-3/4 inch only, including the Von Duprin 22 series, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and the Falcon 19-R. The DORMA 9300A covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, both wide stile. For a thick narrow stile aluminum door the EX89 is the one that spans the range.
8) What lengths and finishes does the Adams Rite EX89 exit device come in?
Three bar lengths, 36, 42, and 48 inches, each in 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, or 628 clear anodized. Every one of those nine combinations is offered with or without the monitoring switch. The 628 clear anodized is the usual match for mill finish aluminum storefront; 313 dark bronze matches most tinted bronze fronts.
9) What is the monitoring switch option on the EX89 for, and should I order it?
The monitoring switch version sends a signal when the touchbar is depressed, so an access control panel or alarm system knows the door was pushed open from the inside rather than forced. Integrators tying a storefront door into a card access system generally want it; a straight mechanical exit-only opening does not. It's a factory option on every length and finish of the EX89, so pick it at the time of order.
10) Is the Adams Rite EX89 Grade 1, and what does that mean for a high traffic entrance?
The EX89 carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the top commercial rating, and it's built for commercial rather than residential use. Grade 1 is the cycle and strength tier specifiers normally require on school, healthcare, and government entrances. The touchbar is stainless steel and the device body is aluminum extrusion.
11) What is needed to mount the Adams Rite EX89, and will the fasteners show from the other side of the door?
The EX89 installs with a universal hardware kit using type F self-tapping screws and machine screws, and when it's mounted correctly the hardware is not visible from the back of the door. Adhesive templates come from the manufacturer for marking hole locations. The strike plate has up to 1/4 inch of horizontal adjustment to center the door in a 4 inch jamb, which is what you use to dial in bolt engagement after the first fit.
12) Can the Adams Rite EX89 be mounted somewhere other than the rim of the door?
Yes. Beyond standard rim mounting, the EX89 works in top-of-door mounted configurations, covering 8300/8400 rim and 8800/8700/EX88 top-of-door setups. That matters on storefront openings where the header hardware is already prepped and you do not want to cut a new rim strike into the jamb.
13) What is a simpler narrow stile rim device than the Adams Rite EX89 if I do not need the monitoring switch or electric latch retraction?
The EX89 is offered with or without a monitoring switch and is available with electric latch retraction. For a straight mechanical narrow stile rim device, the BEST Precision 2401 is a narrow stile rim device, exit only and non-handed, and the Arrow 4800 series 36 inch is a narrow stile rim device, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device, exit only. Each of these is a device-only exit function without the switch and retraction options the EX89 carries.
14) I need night latch or keyed trim function on a narrow stile aluminum door - does the Adams Rite EX89 cover that or is there a better fit?
The EX89 supports multiple trim options and levers on narrow stile aluminum doors. If you want a device catalogued specifically for that function, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with night latch function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as exit only, accepts trim. Both are narrow stile peers to the EX89.
15) For a 48 inch opening, what compares to the Adams Rite EX89 48 inch device?
The EX89 comes in a 48 inch bar in dark bronze, black and clear anodized, with or without a monitoring switch. Other 48 inch rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, the DORMA 9300 series 48 inch wide stile heavy duty Grade 1 exit only device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 series 48 inch crossbar wide stile exit only device. Those are wide stile builds, while the EX89 is the narrow stile aluminum option at that length.
16) Do I have to buy Grade 1 like the Adams Rite EX89, or is there a lighter duty rim device?
The EX89 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. If the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch heavy duty rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch heavy duty push bar rim device at Grade 2. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. None of those are narrow stile aluminum devices, so verify your stile width before substituting away from the EX89.
17) What narrow stile alternative to the Adams Rite EX89 is rated for the heaviest traffic?
The EX89 is a Grade 1 device with a stainless steel touchbar, rated for commercial use. If you want a higher stated duty level on a narrow stile door, the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, and the TownSteel ED8900 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The Stanley QED211 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, matching the EX89 hex key dogging approach.
18) How do I dog the Adams Rite EX89 open during business hours?
Hex key dogging, using a 3/16 inch hex key, holds the touchbar depressed and the latch retracted so the door pushes free. That's the standard way a retail or office tenant leaves the entrance on free egress during open hours and re-secures it at close.
