Adams Rite P8701 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Pullman latch on the Adams Rite P8700 differ from a standard rim device latch?
The P8700 uses a stainless steel Pullman latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw that deadlocks when the door closes. A Pullman pivots into the strike rather than sliding like a beveled springlatch, and the deadlocking action resists being pushed back, which is the reason it is specified on storefronts and other glass front openings where the latch is reachable.
2) Do I have to order the P8700 in a specific hand?
No. Handing on the P8700 is field reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a portfolio, that means a single part number instead of two.
3) What electrified options can I specify on the Adams Rite P8700, and do I need to order them with the device?
Three choices are made at order time: None, Alarm, or MLR motorized latch retraction. MLR is the one to pick when the device has to release on an access control signal or stay retracted during business hours. These are built into the device, so decide before ordering rather than adding later.
4) Can the P8700 be dogged down to keep a storefront door on free entry during business hours?
Cylinder dogging is a required selection on the P8700, ordered as Yes or No. With cylinder dogging you hold the touchbar down with a key so the door pushes open freely, then re-latch it at close. Pick No only if the opening must latch at all times or your access control is handling the unlocked period.
5) Which electric strike works with the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 is specified with the Adams Rite 74R1 electric strike for a fully preload capable installation, and it is also compatible with the 7800 Series electric strike. Pairing with the matched strike is what keeps the 3/4 inch Pullman latch releasing reliably under door preload.
6) If I need a 48 inch rim device but the doors are wide stile, what should I use instead of the P8700?
The P8700 is a narrow stile device and will not suit a wide stile leaf. For 48 inch wide stile openings, ZenSupply carries the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim device.
7) I need a 48 inch rim exit device but my doors are wide stile hollow metal, not aluminum storefront. What should I use instead of the Adams Rite P8700?
The P8700 is built for narrow stile aluminum doors with a 3-3/4 inch stile, so a wide stile opening calls for a different device. In 48 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices sized for a 48 inch minimum door width, the Dormakaba 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device in 48 inch for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device.
8) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Adams Rite P8700 48 inch from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, the nearest peers are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a 36 inch size, the TownSteel ED8900, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device in 36 inch, and the Detex 40 Advantex, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The Adams Rite P8700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device built for a 3-3/4 inch stile in extruded aluminum, and it carries options the others do not list here, including motorized latch retraction, alarm, and single or dual monitoring switches. If the opening is a true 48 inch leaf, the P8700 is offered in that 48 inch size directly.
9) The P8700 is not fire rated. What 48 inch rim exit device can I put on a fire rated opening?
The Adams Rite P8700 48 inch is supplied non fire rated. For a labeled opening in the same 48 inch width, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch is a fire rated rim panic device, exit only with a panic protector end cap. In other sizes, the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device, and the Orca OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device.
10) Can I use an SDC switch bar or the Securitron EMB in place of the Adams Rite P8700?
Not as a direct swap. The P8700 is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt that latches the door itself. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, both for narrow or wide stile doors. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. Those bars signal or power a separate locking device rather than providing their own latch, so they suit maglock or electric lock openings, not an opening that needs a latchbolt and strike.
11) I need an electrified rim exit device with latch retraction. How does the P8700 MLR compare to other electrified devices?
The Adams Rite P8700 can be ordered with MLR motorized latch retraction, with an alarm, and with a single or dual monitoring switch, on a Grade 1 narrow stile device for aluminum doors. Among electrified peers, the Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and MELR, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in a classroom function. The wide stile devices need a broader stile than the 3-3/4 inch the P8700 is built for.
12) Is the P8700 only for aluminum doors, or can it go on a wood door?
Both. The P8700 is listed as wood door compatible in addition to its primary use on narrow stile aluminum doors. Most rim devices in this class are aluminum-door only, so if you have a mix of aluminum storefront and wood openings in one building, this device can cover both.
13) What size door opening does the 48 inch P8700 cover?
The 48 inch size is the only length offered in this configuration, and it is intended for 48 inch wide door leaves. Device length has to suit the leaf, so for a 36 inch leaf you would look at a 36 inch narrow stile rim device such as the TownSteel ED3700 or the Corbin Russwin ED4200 instead.
14) Can I get door position or latch monitoring on the P8700 for an access control tie-in?
Yes. Monitoring switch is an ordering choice of None, Single Switch, or Dual Switch. A single switch gives one signal back to the panel; dual gives you two independent contacts when the head end needs separate monitoring points. Security integrators should settle this along with the electrified option.
15) Is the P8700 rated for high traffic commercial use?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 certification, the top durability and strength grade for exit devices, and is classified as commercial rather than residential hardware. That is the level institutional buyers specify for schools, medical centers, and financial institutions where the opening cycles all day.
16) What else should I plan on ordering to finish a P8700 installation?
The device mounts with machine screws and installs to the manufacturer template, so plan on door and frame prep before anything goes on. Beyond the device itself, the pieces that get ordered separately are exterior trim or a lever, a cylinder if you selected cylinder dogging, and the matched electric strike if the opening is on access control. Multiple trim and lever options are offered for the P8700.
17) What is a good narrow stile alternative to the Adams Rite P8700 if I need a different length or a push pad?
Among narrow stile rim devices, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches that accepts trim, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices at 42 inches, and the Detex Advantex 40 Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The P8700 differs in its aluminum body, its deadlocking Pullman latch, and its factory electrified and monitoring options.
18) Does the P8700 give code compliant egress for a retail or school exit?
Egress is single motion and panic proof, meaning one push on the touchbar releases the latch regardless of any locking or access control on the outside. That is the behavior required at a panic opening, and it holds whether the device is dogged, alarmed, or fitted with motorized latch retraction.
19) Is there a simpler exit only narrow stile device if I do not need the electrified options the P8700 offers?
Yes. The P8700 is ordered with electrified choices including motorized latch retraction, alarm, and single or dual monitoring switches, plus cylinder dogging. If the door only needs mechanical egress, the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices in 42 inch, and the BEST 2401 is a non handed narrow stile rim device, exit only. None of these carry trim or access control functions on the device itself.
20) My storefront doors have no top or bottom rod prep. Is a Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod an alternative to the P8700?
Only if the door is prepped for rods. The Adams Rite P8700 is a rim device, so it latches to a strike at the jamb and needs no vertical rod prep. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device in 36 inch, which requires a door built for concealed rods; the Hager 4501 is the wide stile pushpad version of that concealed vertical rod device. For a rim to rim replacement on an existing storefront, stay with a rim device such as the TownSteel ED3700 Grade 1 narrow stile or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
21) How does the Adams Rite P8700 compare to Cal-Royal A9820 for a 48 inch opening?
Both cover a 48 inch opening. The Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch exit only rim device listed as heavy duty with a Grade 2 spec, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2 heavy duty. The Adams Rite P8700 at 48 inch is Grade 1 and built for narrow stile aluminum doors with a 3-3/4 inch stile, and it is offered with alarm, motorized latch retraction, and monitoring switch options. The Cal-Royal devices are configured exit only.
22) I need a narrow stile device with night latch trim rather than the exit only setup. What are my options next to the P8700?
The Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim exit device in the Grade 1 8500 series with a night latch function, which retracts the latch from the outside with a key. The Adams Rite P8700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device and takes multiple trim options and levers, so an outside trim can be specified with it as well. On wide stile doors, the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim.
23) Which narrow stile rim devices besides the Adams Rite P8700 offer hex key dogging?
The Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in a 36 inch size. The Adams Rite P8700 is ordered with cylinder dogging as a yes or no choice, which uses a keyed cylinder to hold the bar down rather than a hex key. On wide stile openings, the Design Hardware 2000R offers hex key dogging in a standard duty 33 inch rim device.
24) Is the Marks USA M8800 a substitute for the Adams Rite P8700 on a narrow stile door?
They serve the same door type but are not equivalent configurations. The Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim exit device, exit only, with panic protector end caps, and it is non fire rated. The Adams Rite P8700 is offered at 48 inch, is Grade 1 certified, takes trim and lever options, and can be specified with motorized latch retraction, alarm, and monitoring switches. If the opening is 36 inch and needs nothing more than mechanical egress, the M8800 covers it; a 48 inch leaf or an access controlled door points back to the P8700.
25) What finishes does the Adams Rite P8700 come in for matching existing storefront hardware?
Seven finishes: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 628 clear anodized, 629 bright stainless steel, and 630 satin stainless steel. Dark bronze and clear anodized are the usual matches to aluminum storefront framing, while 630 satin stainless pairs with the stainless touchbar on adjacent openings.
