Adams Rite MS2180-10-130 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite MS2180 flushbolt work on a pair of narrow stile aluminum doors?
That is exactly what the MS2180 two-point flushbolt is built for. It mounts in the inactive leaf of a pair of narrow stile aluminum doors and throws hexagonal 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts into the header and threshold, so the inactive leaf is secured top and bottom without a mullion. Hollow metal and wood door versions are offered as well.
2) Does the MS2180 flushbolt need an MS deadlock, or can it be used on its own?
It is not a standalone bolt. The MS2180 works in conjunction with an Adams Rite MS pivoting deadlock in the active leaf, and the auto-release function is what ties them together: retract the MS deadlock and the whole opening releases in one operation, both leaves. Order the MS deadlock for the active door as part of the same job.
3) What door height do I order the Adams Rite MS2180 flushbolt for?
Rod length is set by the door height you pick: 7, 8, 9, or 10 foot. Measure the inactive leaf, not the frame opening. Getting this wrong is the most common reordering mistake on tall storefront and entrance doors, since a 7 foot set will not reach the head on an 8 foot leaf.
4) What prep do I need in the header and threshold for an Adams Rite MS2180?
For metal installations, drill 1/2 inch diameter holes for the bolt guides in the header and threshold. On wood applications you use separate 4005 Strikes instead of drilled holes. The bolts throw 23/32 inch, so the guide holes need that depth of clear engagement top and bottom.
5) I need automatic flush bolts on a fire rated pair of hollow metal doors - can I use the Adams Rite MS2180?
For a fire rated hollow metal pair, look at the ABH 1860P/1862P automatic flush bolt pair, which is fire rated 3-hour with a thermal lock. The Adams Rite MS2180 is engineered for narrow stile aluminum doors and is designed to work with an MS pivoting deadlock, with UL Listed models available; its release is driven by retracting that deadlock rather than by the closing sequence of the doors. The ABH 1860P pair operates automatically off the door itself, which is the arrangement fire rated hollow metal pairs are normally detailed with.
6) What is the difference between the Adams Rite MS2180 flushbolt and a manual flush bolt like the Ives FB457?
They solve the paired-door problem in two different ways. The MS2180 is an auto-release two-point flushbolt for narrow stile aluminum doors: it throws top and bottom 3/8 inch stainless bolts with a 23/32 inch throw from a single turn, and the whole opening releases with one operation when the MS pivoting deadlock is retracted. The Ives FB457 is a manual flush bolt with a 12 inch rod length for metal doors, so each bolt is thrown and retracted by hand at the bolt itself. If the inactive leaf of a narrow stile pair has to be released quickly and coordinated with an MS deadlock, the MS2180 does that; if a hollow metal inactive leaf just needs to be pinned in place and rarely opened, a manual bolt like the FB457 covers it.
7) Is a 6 inch corner mount flushbolt like the Trimco 3999 the same thing as the Adams Rite MS2180?
No. The Trimco 3999 is a 6 inch corner mount flushbolt with a rounded end, and the 3999SE is the same 6 inch corner mount with a square end - single bolts mortised into the edge of the inactive leaf, one at the top and one at the bottom if both are wanted. The Adams Rite MS2180 is a two-point unit: one turn throws both the top and bottom 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts, its turn height adjusts from 34 inches to 48 inches to line up with the MS deadlock cylinder, and it carries a Smartlock mechanism and auto-release. They both go in the inactive leaf, but the Trimco parts are two independent bolts and the MS2180 is one linked mechanism.
8) What turn shape options come on the MS2180 flushbolt and does it matter?
Three operators: hourglass, teardrop, and a flush operator. Hourglass and teardrop are thumbturns you grip and rotate; the flush operator sits flat in the stile where a projecting turn would foul a push bar, a door pull, or a tight jamb condition. All three are available in every door height and finish offered.
9) What finishes does the Adams Rite MS2180 come in to match my storefront?
Three anodized finishes that track standard aluminum entrance systems: 628 clear anodized, 313 dark bronze anodized, and 335 black anodized. Each is available across all four door heights and all three turn shapes, so you can standardize a finish across a building and still order the right rod length per opening.
10) How is a two-point auto-release flushbolt different from a standard manual flush bolt?
A manual flush bolt is thrown and retracted by hand at each bolt, which means someone has to walk to the inactive leaf to open the full opening. The MS2180 throws both bolts from one turn (120 degrees counterclockwise) and releases the whole opening when the MS deadlock is retracted. Manual sets like the Ives FB358 or the Trimco 3999 6 inch corner mount are the simpler, cheaper route when the inactive leaf stays shut most of the time and no coordinated release is needed.
11) What cylinder does the Adams Rite MS2180 flushbolt take?
It accepts standard Adams Rite MS cam mortise cylinders, so a locksmith can key the flushbolt into the same system as the MS deadlock on the active leaf rather than sourcing a special cylinder. Keyway and keying are specified with the cylinder, not with the bolt.
12) Can the Adams Rite MS2180 be used on an opening with access control?
Yes, it works alongside Adams Rite electric strikes for access control. The flushbolt handles the inactive leaf mechanically while the strike controls the active leaf, and the Smartlock mechanism keeps the inactive leaf from being pulled open without the deadlock being retracted first.
13) What is the difference between the MS2180 and a small 6 or 7 inch mortise flush bolt?
Length and job. Short mortise bolts like the Delaney 7 inch slide type, the Delaney 6 inch square end solid brass, or the Orca 6 inch with radius corners are hand-operated bolts mortised near the top and bottom of a leaf, typically on residential and light commercial doors. The MS2180 is a full-height two-point system for narrow stile aluminum: one turn at 34 to 48 inches drives 3/8 inch stainless bolts to both the header and the threshold and releases with the MS deadlock.
14) What is a simpler alternative to the Adams Rite MS2180 for a wood door pair?
For wood doors, the Ives FB41 is an automatic flush bolt set for wood doors with a 3/4 inch throw and a 90 minute fire rating, and the Ives FB42 is a top automatic flush bolt for wood doors with an auxiliary fire latch. The Adams Rite MS2180 is built around narrow stile aluminum construction and coordination with an MS pivoting deadlock, with hollow metal and wood door options available and 4005 Strikes used for wood applications. When the pair is ordinary wood and there is no MS deadlock in the active leaf, the Ives wood-door sets are the more direct fit.
15) I only need to secure the bottom of the inactive leaf - what should I use instead of the Adams Rite MS2180?
For a single bolt, the ABH 1855S is a manual flush bolt single for metal doors with a 3/4 inch throw, and the ABH 1858 is a universal bottom fire bolt with manual operation. The Adams Rite MS2180 is a two-point unit that throws top and bottom bolts together from one turn, so it is more mechanism than a single bottom point needs. Ordering a single bolt also means preparing only one bolt location instead of routing the leaf for a linked top-and-bottom assembly.
16) Which flushbolt gives the deepest bolt engagement, the Adams Rite MS2180 or an ABH or Ives manual bolt?
The Adams Rite MS2180 uses hexagonal 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts with a 23/32 inch throw, and its bolt guides go into 1/2 inch diameter holes in the header and threshold for metal installations. The ABH 1855S manual flush bolt single for metal doors and the Ives FB358 manual flush bolt both carry a 3/4 inch throw, and the FB358 uses a 1/2 inch bolt diameter. The International Door Closers FB-1202 flush bolt has a 5/8 inch throw with a 1/8 inch offset and 7/8 inch backset. Match the throw to the depth of prep you have at the header and threshold before you commit.
17) What flushbolt matches a decorative residential-style door pair rather than a commercial aluminum entrance?
The Delaney 4108 is a 6 inch square end solid brass flush bolt, the Delaney 4101 is a 7 inch slide type mortise-in flush bolt, and Emtek also offers flush bolts - those are the ones detailed for finished residential and decorative openings. The Adams Rite MS2180 is a commercial part engineered for narrow stile aluminum doors, offered in 335 black anodized, 313 dark bronze anodized, and 628 clear anodized to match aluminum storefront framing rather than a brass or bronze decorative suite.
18) My pair of doors is taller than standard - do the flush bolt alternatives cover a 10 foot door?
The Adams Rite MS2180 is ordered by door height in 7 FT, 8 FT, 9 FT, and 10 FT, so the rod length is built into the part number you select, in any of the three anodized finishes and with hourglass, teardrop, or flush operator turns. Among the manual alternatives, the Ives FB457 is specified by rod length - the FB457 12 is the 12 inch rod version for metal doors - and the Delaney 4363 is a 7 inch mortise extension flush bolt. On a tall opening, check the rod length of a manual bolt against the actual header height before substituting.
19) For a fire rated metal door pair where the inactive leaf is opened by staff, is there a manual alternative to an automatic flushbolt?
The ABH 1854 is a manual flush bolt set with a fire bolt for metal doors, which gives a hand-operated top and bottom set with the fire bolt provision, and the Ives FB358 manual flush bolt with 3/4 inch throw and 1/2 inch bolt diameter also carries a fire rating. The Adams Rite MS2180 releases the whole opening in one operation when the MS pivoting deadlock is retracted, which suits an aluminum entrance where staff need both leaves fast; a manual set like the ABH 1854 keeps the inactive leaf deliberate to open, which is what some facilities want on a back-of-house metal pair.
20) Will a standard 6 inch edge-mounted flush bolt fit the narrow stile of an aluminum storefront door?
Check the stile before you order one. Parts like the Orca Hardware 6 inch flush bolt with radius corners and the Trimco 3999SE 6 inch corner mount square end are laid out for the edge of a conventional door leaf. The Adams Rite MS2180 is engineered specifically for narrow stile aluminum doors, measures 1 1/2 by 6 7/8 by 1 1/4 inches, and mounts with its turn set to match the MS deadlock cylinder height anywhere from 34 to 48 inches. On a narrow stile aluminum pair, the stile width is the governing dimension and needs verifying against whichever bolt you choose.
21) Is the Adams Rite MS2180 flushbolt suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a commercial product, with hexagonal 3/8 inch stainless steel bolts on a 23/32 inch throw. Stainless at the bolt is what holds up where an entrance sees constant cycling and weather at the threshold. Typical uses are office building paired entries, schools, healthcare, retail, and government buildings.
