Three-Mode Security Control

The MS+1893 provides three distinct modes of door control for maximum operational flexibility: both lock and latchbolts retracted for unrestricted entry during business hours, handle-operated latch for exit-only traffic after closing, and maximum security MS hookbolt for overnight lockup. When using trim (available separately), handle or paddle operates latchbolt only for controlled access management.

Why Choose Adams Rite Quality?

Adams Rite deadlock products deliver professional-grade security with eight-ply laminated stainless steel construction and alumina-ceramic core protection rated to defeat hacksaw attacks. The steel case with corrosion-resistant plating and hook-shaped bolt design provide maximum security for demanding commercial applications where dependable protection is essential.

Adams Rite MS+1893-46-IB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset do I need for an Adams Rite MS+1893 deadlock/deadlatch body?
The MS+1893 body is made in two backsets, 1-1/8 inch and 1-1/2 inch, and you have to pick the one that matches your stile. Measure from the face of the stile to the centerline of the cylinder hole on the door you are working on. On narrow stile aluminum entrances the 1-1/8 inch backset is the common one; the 1-1/2 inch is used where the stile is deeper. Order the wrong backset and the case will not line up with the existing cylinder prep.
2) Does the Adams Rite MS+1893 come with a cylinder?
No cylinder ships with the MS+1893. It's a body-only unit and it takes a standard 1 inch length, 1-5/32 inch diameter mortise cylinder with the Adams Rite MS cam. Order the cylinder separately in your keyway, and order trim separately too if you want a handle or paddle to work the latchbolt.
3) Will the MS+1893 fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That is exactly what it's built for. The MS+1893 case is 1 inch by 7-3/8 inch, sized to drop into the pocket of a narrow stile aluminum door, and it's offered in 1-1/8 and 1-1/2 inch backsets to suit the stile depth. Hollow metal and wood door versions of the MS deadlock family exist as well if the opening isn't aluminum.
4) What is the difference between a plain MS deadlock and the MS+1893 deadlock/deadlatch?
A straight MS deadlock only throws and retracts the hookbolt, so somebody has to key it every time. The MS+1893 adds a latchbolt alongside the deadbolt, which gives you three positions: both bolts retracted for free entry during business hours, latchbolt only so a handle or paddle lets people out and keeps the door secured behind them, and the MS hookbolt thrown for overnight lockup. If the door needs to be usable during the day and hard-locked at night without swapping hardware, the deadlatch version is the one.
5) How far does the bolt on the Adams Rite MS+1893 throw, and will it reach my existing strike?
The hookbolt measures 5/8 by 1-3/8 inch and throws 13/16 inch. That throw is what has to cross the gap into your jamb or the mating stile, so measure the existing keeper pocket before you commit. It's a hook-shaped bolt rather than a straight deadbolt, so it engages by rotating into the keeper and resists the door being pried or spread apart under load.
6) I'm replacing an Adams Rite MS deadlock in a storefront door. Will the MS+1893 body drop into the same prep?
It depends on two things you can check on the door itself. The backset has to match, 1-1/8 or 1-1/2 inch, and the pocket has to take a 1 inch by 7-3/8 inch case. If the old lock was a plain MS deadlock in the same backset, the cylinder is likely reusable too, since the MS+1893 takes the same standard 1 inch length, 1-5/32 inch diameter MS cam mortise cylinder. What changes is the keeper: the deadlatch throws a latchbolt as well as the hookbolt, so the jamb side has to accept both.
7) Can I use an Adams Rite MS+1893 with an electric strike for card access?
Yes. The MS+1893 is built to work with Adams Rite electric strikes, so you can run it on an access control system and release the latchbolt electrically. The MS hookbolt is the after-hours mechanical lock and is not what the strike releases, so plan the schedule around the latch mode being the access-controlled state.
8) How many turns of the key does it take to operate an MS+1893?
A full 360 degree turn throws or retracts the deadlock hookbolt, and carrying the key another 120 degrees pulls the latchbolt back as well. That extra rotation is how you get from a locked door to a fully open one in one motion. On the trim side, a handle or paddle only ever operates the latchbolt, never the deadbolt.
9) Is the Adams Rite MS+1893 tough enough for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It's rated commercial, and the bolt is the reason. Eight-ply laminated stainless steel with an alumina-ceramic core inside it is what defeats a hacksaw attack, and the case is steel with corrosion-resistant plating. That combination is what puts it on bank, retail, school, and government entrances rather than residential doors.
10) What door thickness is the MS+1893 prepped for?
Standard 1-3/4 inch door thickness is the prep to work from, along with whichever backset you ordered, 1-1/8 or 1-1/2 inch. Use the Adams Rite template to lay out the pocket and mounting holes rather than transferring from the old lock, since the case footprint is 1 inch by 7-3/8 inch and the bolt location is fixed by the backset.
