Adams Rite MS1950-215-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite MS1950 deadlock work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
That's exactly what the MS1950 is built for. It's a maximum security straightbolt deadlock engineered for narrow stile aluminum doors, with a case measuring 1 x 6 x depth inches so it fits inside a narrow stile without eating the glass pocket. Hollow metal and wood door versions are offered as well. Pick the backset that matches your stile: 31/32, 1-1/8, or 1-1/2 inch.
2) What else do I need to order to install an Adams Rite MS1950 deadlock?
Budget for the mortise cylinder, it isn't in the box, and it has to be an Adams Rite MS cam cylinder. The armored strike assembly with trimplate, mounting plate, and dustbox goes in the frame. On the door side you'll route the pocket for the 1 x 6 inch case and drill the cylinder hole at your chosen backset (31/32, 1-1/8, or 1-1/2 inch). Adams Rite templates cover the hole locations.
3) Does the Adams Rite MS1950 come with a cylinder?
No cylinder is included. The MS1950 takes a standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinder, ordered separately, so you can key it into whatever system the building already runs. If you're standardizing a property, that's a plus: same lock body across the openings, cylinders keyed to your existing master.
4) Is the Adams Rite MS1950 handed, and how do I order the right hand?
Handing matters here. The MS1950 is offered as LH or RHR, RH or LHR, and Non-Handed. Stand outside the door: if the hinges or pivots are on your left and it swings away from you, that's left hand. The non-handed option removes the decision entirely, which is the safer pick when you're buying for multiple openings you haven't surveyed.
5) How much bolt throw does the MS1950 give, and will it hold in a metal jamb?
The straightbolt throws 1-3/8 inches, and the bolt itself is nearly 3 inches long, eight-ply laminated stainless steel with an alumina-ceramic core to stop a hacksaw. It lands in an armored strike, which mounts to the jamb with a satin stainless trimplate, steel mounting plate, and dustbox. That's a routed slot in the metal jamb, not a surface strike, so plan the frame prep.
6) Is the Adams Rite MS1950 a Grade 1 lock for a commercial building?
Grade 1, and rated commercial. That's the heaviest ANSI/BHMA duty tier, the one specified for high-traffic and high-abuse openings, which is why the MS1950 shows up on office buildings, schools, hospitals, warehouses, and government facilities. For an institutional standardization program it's the grade that normally satisfies the spec on the drawing.
7) Which faceplate should I choose for an MS1950 deadlock on an aluminum door?
Five faceplate choices: Bevel, Flat, Radius, Radius With Weatherstrip, and Without faceplate. Match the profile of the stile edge, radius for a rounded stile, flat for a square one. Radius With Weatherstrip is the one to order on an exterior opening where the weatherstrip runs down the lock edge. Without faceplate is for prep where a separate faceplate or a manufacturer's edge is already in place.
8) What finishes does the MS1950 deadlock come in, and will it match my existing storefront?
Three anodized finishes are stocked on the MS1950: 313 Dark Bronze Anodized, 335 Black Anodized, and 628 Clear Anodized. Those are the standard storefront finishes, so 628 matches mill/clear aluminum framing and 313 matches dark bronze framing. If you're matching a run of doors, pull the finish code off one existing faceplate rather than eyeballing bronze against black.
9) Can I put the MS1950 deadlock on an access control system with an electric strike?
Yes. The MS1950 works with Adams Rite electric strikes for access control, so a card reader or intercom release can be added at the frame without changing the lock body. The deadlock itself stays a key-operated straightbolt, the electric strike is what does the remote release. Note the strike prep is a routed slot in the jamb for the armored strike.
10) What's the difference between a maximum security deadlock like the MS1950 and a standard MS deadlock?
It's the bolt. A standard narrow stile deadlock gives you a plain steel bolt; the MS1950's is eight-ply laminated stainless with an alumina-ceramic core specifically to defeat hacksaw attack, nearly 3 inches long, throwing 1-3/8 inches into an armored strike. Case and internals are stainless throughout. If the opening is a jewelry store, pharmacy, cash room, or anything with a real forced-entry exposure, that's what you're paying for. On a low-risk interior aluminum door it's more lock than the job needs.
11) Can the key be removed with the MS1950 deadlock partly thrown?
No. The MS1950 uses a counterbalanced pivot mechanism with 360 degree cylinder operation, and the key only comes out in the fully locked or fully unlocked position. That's deliberate, it prevents somebody leaving an opening half-secured with the bolt short of the strike. Worth testing at install: throw it, pull the key, then check bolt projection.
