Adams Rite P8701 30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite P8700 rim exit device fit a 2 inch thick aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The P8700 covers door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches with the appropriate trim, so a 2 inch leaf is within range. It is built for narrow stile aluminum doors and mounts with machine screws.
2) Do I need to order the Adams Rite P8700 left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The P8700 is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers either swing and a stocked spare works on any opening in the building.
3) Will the P8700 latch into a standard rim strike, or do I need a specific one?
The Pullman latchbolt on the P8700 throws 3/4 inch and deadlocks, so the strike has to be prepped for that throw. Adams Rite calls out the 7800 Series electric strike as the compatible electric option, and the 74R1 electric strike for a fully preload capable setup. If you are keeping an existing strike, confirm it accepts a 3/4 inch Pullman bolt before you order.
4) What do I have to specify when ordering an Adams Rite P8700 exit device?
Four decisions. Cylinder dogging, yes or no. Electrified option: none, Alarm, or MLR motorized latch retraction. Monitoring switch: none, single, or dual. And finish, from 313 Dark Bronze Anodized, 335 Black Anodized, 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 628 Clear Anodized, 629 Bright Stainless Steel, or 630 Satin Stainless Steel. Size is 30 inches.
5) Can I tie the P8700 into an access control system for remote unlock and door status?
Yes. Order it with MLR motorized latch retraction to pull the latch back electrically for card reader or scheduled unlock, and add a single or dual monitoring switch if the head end needs latch or request to exit status. Adams Rite also lists an Alarm version for openings where local annunciation on the device itself is what you want instead.
6) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite P8700 from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, the closest peers to the Adams Rite P8700 are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a 36 inch size, the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device at 36 inches, and the Falcon 19-R, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in exit only. All three share the P8700's Grade 1 certification and narrow stile designation. The difference to weigh is that the P8700 is built specifically around Adams Rite narrow stile aluminum door prep with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt, so if the door is already prepped for Adams Rite the P8700 drops in, while the others carry their own template and strike.
7) I have a wide stile hollow metal door, not an aluminum storefront. What should I use instead of the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 is designed for narrow stile aluminum doors with a minimum 2 inch stile, so a wide stile opening calls for a wide stile device. Grade 1 wide stile rim options include the Von Duprin 22 series in a 36 inch non-handed pushpad, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches, the Dormakaba 9300 series, and the TownSteel ED9700 at 36 inches. Pick by the trim and function the opening needs; all four are wide stile rim devices rather than narrow stile.
8) The Adams Rite P8700 is not fire rated in our record. What narrow or comparable rim device should I quote for a fire rated opening?
For a labeled opening, choose a device carried as fire rated. The Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated exit only versions, the Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim device, and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device. Fire rated devices omit mechanical dogging, so if you were counting on the P8700 cylinder dogging option for daytime free egress, that function will not carry over.
9) What looks like an alternative to the Adams Rite P8700 but will not actually latch a door?
Two items come up in rim exit searches that are not latching panic devices. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latchbolt, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar. The Detex Advantex 00 series is a dummy exit device. None of those provide the 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt the P8700 uses to secure the opening; the SDC bars require a separate maglock and power supply to make the opening secure.
10) How far does the P8700 touchbar stick out into the opening?
The P8700 projects 2-15/16 inches when fully projected and 1-15/16 inches when dogged down. That matters where a vestibule, a second leaf, or a return wall is tight to the door face, so measure your clear swing path against the 2-15/16 inch figure rather than the dogged one.
11) Is a narrow stile rim device like the P8700 the right choice, or should I be looking at vertical rod hardware?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame jamb, which is what you want on a single aluminum storefront leaf or on a pair with a center mullion. It is the simplest install and the least to go out of adjustment. If you have a pair with no mullion and need a clear opening, a rim device will not work there and you want vertical rod hardware instead, such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device. For wide stile hollow metal, a wide stile rim device like the Von Duprin 22 or Corbin Russwin ED5200 is the match.
12) What are the closest alternatives to the Adams Rite P8700 for narrow stile aluminum doors?
Several Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices cover the same application. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device that accepts trim, on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon 19-R exit only and the Falcon 1790EO are narrow stile Grade 1 devices, also 1-3/4 inch. TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches, and Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty narrow stile option. Where the P8700 differs is the 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range and the 3/4 inch deadlocking Pullman bolt; those peers are listed at 1-3/4 inch only.
13) Is the Adams Rite P8700 heavy duty enough for a high traffic retail entrance?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, the top commercial rating for exit devices, with an extruded aluminum chassis and a stainless steel touchbar. Grade 1 is the level a school, medical center, or storefront entry should be specified at for standardization across a facility.
14) Can the P8700 be used on a wood door, or is it aluminum storefront only?
Wood doors are supported as well as narrow stile aluminum, provided the leaf falls in the 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range and the stile is wide enough to take the device. Most of the narrow stile rim devices from other brands are aluminum door only, so this is one of the places the P8700 differs.
15) What does cylinder dogging do on the P8700 and do I need it?
Cylinder dogging lets you hold the touchbar depressed and the latch retracted with a key, so the door pushes free during business hours and relatches when you undog it at close. Retail and office entries usually want it. Note the device sits at 1-15/16 inches of projection when dogged versus 2-15/16 inches projected. It is a required choice at order time, yes or no.
16) Do I need the Adams Rite P8700 or is a simpler exit only device enough?
If the opening only needs egress and no outside operation, the simpler route is a device catalogued as exit only, such as the Falcon 19-R in 36 inch narrow stile, the Arrow 4800 series 36 inch narrow stile, or the Marks USA M8800, a 36 inch narrow stile rim device in exit only. The P8700 is worth the step up when you need the electrified side of the opening, since it is ordered with alarm or motorized latch retraction and with a single or dual monitoring switch for access control reporting.
17) We need concealed vertical rod instead of a rim device on the aluminum pair. What replaces the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 is a rim device, which latches into a strike on the frame or mullion. If the opening calls for top and bottom latching on a pair without a mullion, the Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device in 36 inch, and the Hager 4501 is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version with a wide stile pushpad. Vertical rod devices require door prep for the rods, so they are not a swap onto a door already routed for rim hardware.
18) How does the Adams Rite P8700 compare to the Sargent 8504 for a storefront door?
Both are narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function device, meaning outside key access retracts the latch. The Adams Rite P8700 is supplied as the device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt and is ordered with a choice of trim and levers, plus optional cylinder dogging. If the spec is specifically night latch trim, the 8504 arrives in that function; with the P8700 you select the trim to suit.
19) We are standardizing a campus on one narrow stile rim device. Which options let us cover both narrow and wide stile openings from fewer part numbers?
The Adams Rite P8700 covers narrow stile aluminum openings with a 2 inch minimum stile and carries Grade 1 certification with seven finishes including dark bronze anodized, black anodized, clear anodized, and satin stainless. For mixed door types, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal rim device, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device at 36 inches with a matching Stanley QED211 narrow stile Grade 1 hex-key dogging version. A campus with both aluminum storefront and hollow metal will still typically need a narrow stile line and a wide stile line rather than one device everywhere.
20) Can I use a crossbar device instead of the touchbar on the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 uses a stainless steel touchbar or crossbar style actuator on a narrow stile aluminum door. If the building's existing hardware is crossbar and you want to match it, the CRL Jackson 1095 series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, also wide stile. Both are wide stile products, so they suit hollow metal or wide aluminum rails rather than a 2 inch narrow stile opening.
