Adams Rite P8701 42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt on the P8700 do that a standard rim latch does not?
A Pullman latch swings rather than sliding like a common bevel latch, and the P8700's version is stainless steel with a 3/4 inch throw and a deadlocking feature, so once the door closes the bolt cannot be pushed back with a card or shim. Fully extended, it projects 2-15/16 inches. That deeper engagement is the reason this device gets specified on retail storefronts and bank entries where the glass door is the only barrier.
2) What electrified options can I get on the 42 inch Adams Rite P8700?
Three choices on the electrified axis: none, an alarm version, or MLR motorized latch retraction for access control integration. Separately you can add a monitoring switch, either single or dual, for request-to-exit or latch status reporting back to the panel. The device also works with the Adams Rite 7800 electric strike if you would rather control the opening at the frame than at the device.
3) Does the P8700 exit device come with dogging?
Dogging is a choice you make at order time. Cylinder dogging is a required selection, yes or no, so the device is configured either way. The mechanical dogging operates with a 3/16 inch hex key. Cylinder dogging is the one to pick if you want a keyed dog-down that staff cannot defeat with a common Allen wrench.
4) Is the Adams Rite P8700 Grade 1?
Yes, the P8700 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 certification, which is the top durability and strength classification for exit devices and what most institutional and government specs call for. If you are standardizing a campus on Grade 1 narrow stile rim hardware, the Detex 40 Advantex and Corbin Russwin ED4200 are other Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
5) Can the P8700 secure a pair of narrow stile doors without a mullion?
No. The P8700 is a rim device, meaning it latches into a strike on the frame or jamb, so on a pair of doors you need a mullion between them to give the latch something to catch. If you want a pair to open clear with no mullion in the way, you need vertical rod hardware instead, such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
6) How does the Adams Rite P8700 differ from a wide stile rim device like the Von Duprin 22 or Dorma 9300?
It comes down to the door. The P8700 is a narrow stile device sized for aluminum storefront stiles down to 2 inches, with a Pullman latch throwing 3/4 inch. The Von Duprin 22 is a wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dorma 9300 is a wide stile unit covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. Wide stile hardware will not fit a narrow aluminum stile, and narrow stile hardware on a wide hollow metal door leaves an odd-looking short bar. Match the device family to the door you actually have.
7) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite P8700 at 42 inches?
The Falcon 1590EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device built for 42 inch openings, exit only, with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Falcon 1790EO is also a 42 inch narrow stile Grade 1 rim device, exit only, at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Both match the P8700 on 42 inch length, narrow stile aluminum door application and Grade 1 certification. The difference to weigh is door thickness: the P8700 covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, so on a thicker storefront leaf the Adams Rite is the one that still fits.
8) The Adams Rite P8700 is not fire rated - what rim exit device should I use on a fire door?
The P8700 carries a Fire Rating value of No, so for a labeled opening look to a fire rated rim device. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Marks USA M9900F is offered fire rated in both 36 inch and 48 inch exit only versions, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device, and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only. Note that fire rated devices do not dog, so the hex key dogging workflow on the P8700 does not carry over.
9) Can I put a wide stile rim device like the Von Duprin 22 on the same aluminum storefront door as an Adams Rite P8700?
They are not interchangeable prep. The P8700 is built for narrow stile aluminum doors with a minimum 2 inch stile and is listed at a 3-3/4 inch stile width. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches on 1-3/4 inch doors, and peers such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the DORMA 9300, the TownSteel ED9700 and the Sargent 2828 are likewise wide stile. Wide stile chassis need the broader rail face a narrow aluminum stile does not provide, so confirm the stile dimension before substituting.
10) What else handles a 2-1/4 inch thick door besides the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Among comparable rim hardware, the DORMA 9300 is also rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, in a 48 inch wide stile exit only configuration, and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar lists a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. Most other rim devices in the class, including the Von Duprin 22, Corbin ED4200 and Falcon 1590EO, are listed at 1-3/4 inch only.
11) I need electric latch retraction on a narrow stile aluminum door - what are my options besides the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 is offered with MLR motorized latch retraction, plus alarm and single or dual monitoring switch options. If the access control scheme calls for a different approach, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device, though it is a wide stile chassis on 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The SDC SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar and MSB550 mechanical switch bar are both 36 inch and suit narrow or wide stile, but they release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latchbolt, so they are not a swap for a latching rim device. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function.
12) Do I have to order the P8700 handed, or can it be reversed in the field?
Handing is not an order decision here. The P8700 is field reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. That is useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
13) What is included for mounting the P8700, and what prep does the frame need?
Mounting hardware is machine screws with rivnuts for the door side. The strike is a horizontally adjustable assembly that goes into a 4 inch jamb and gives 1/4 inch of horizontal adjustment, which is what lets you dial in latchbolt alignment if the door is not perfectly centered in the opening. Adams Rite supplies a Pullman Rim Exit Template for the door holes and a separate strike template for the frame, so both surfaces get laid out before any drilling.
14) Does the P8700 allow single-motion egress for code compliance in a school or medical building?
Egress is single-motion and panic proof, so one push on the stainless steel touchbar retracts the latch and releases the door with no second operation. That is the behavior specified for assembly, educational, and healthcare egress doors. Commercial use only.
15) Which narrow stile rim device gives me night latch key access instead of exit only?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in night latch function, where an outside cylinder retracts the latch. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches that is offered exit only or set up to accept trim. The Adams Rite P8700 takes multiple trim options and levers and can be ordered with cylinder dogging.
16) Is a Grade 2 rim exit device like the Cal-Royal 5000 an acceptable substitute for the Adams Rite P8700?
They sit at different certification levels. The P8700 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch touch bar rim device with a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device, also Grade 2 and heavy duty. If the door schedule or facility standard calls out Grade 1, stay with a Grade 1 device such as the P8700, the Detex 40 narrow stile, or the Stanley QED200 narrow stile heavy duty.
17) What is the difference between the Adams Rite P8700 and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601?
The P8700 is a rim device: the latchbolt throws horizontally into a strike at the jamb, with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt and an adjustable strike set in a 4 inch jamb. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod wide stile pushpad version, both 36 inch. Vertical rod devices latch top and bottom inside the door rather than at the jamb, which changes the door prep entirely and is the usual choice for pairs without a mullion.
18) I need a 48 inch rim exit device, not 42 inch - what should I look at?
The Adams Rite P8700 is built at 42 inches. For a wider leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 is a 48 inch wide stile rim device exit only for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Marks USA M9900F is a 48 inch fire rated rim device exit only, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile. All of those are wide stile or crossbar styles, so verify the stile face on an aluminum storefront before ordering.
19) Does the Adams Rite P8700 work on wood doors, and what if my peer option does not?
The P8700 is listed as wood door compatible, alongside its narrow stile aluminum application. Most comparable rim devices are not, including the Von Duprin 22, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200, the TownSteel ED3700, the Falcon 1590EO and the Detex 40. If the job mixes aluminum storefront and wood leaves, the P8700 covers both substrates where those devices do not.
20) What finishes does the Adams Rite P8700 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Seven finishes: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 628 clear anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. For matching typical aluminum storefront, 313 and 628 are the two that line up with standard dark bronze and clear anodized frames.
21) If I only need a matching inactive leaf or push-side appearance, is there a dummy version instead of the Adams Rite P8700?
The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty dummy exit device, Grade 1, in a wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device in dummy function with RX and MELR. Those provide the bar appearance without a latching panic function. The Adams Rite P8700 is a working Grade 1 rim device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt and single-motion panic egress, so it is the choice for any leaf that is part of the egress path.
22) Crossbar versus touchbar - which rim devices give a crossbar look instead of the Adams Rite P8700 pushbar?
The P8700 uses a stainless steel touchbar / crossbar with single-motion panic egress. If a traditional crossbar profile is what the elevation calls for, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only. For a paddle instead, the CRL Jackson 1095P is a paddle rim panic device, also wide stile exit only.
