Adams Rite P8801 30 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite P8800 exit device work on an aluminum storefront door?
That's exactly what it's built for. The P8800 Series is a narrow stile rim device for aluminum doors, with extruded aluminum construction and a stainless steel touchbar. It is not for wood doors. If your opening is a wood or hollow metal door with a wide stile, look at a wide stile device such as the Von Duprin 22 Series or Corbin Russwin ED5200 instead.
2) Will the P8800 latch into my existing strike on a storefront door?
The P8800 uses a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking stainless steel Pullman latchbolt, and the strike assembly it ships with is horizontally adjustable, so you have some lateral room to line it up with the existing frame prep. If you are electrifying the opening, it pairs with the Adams Rite 7800 Series electric strike.
3) Do I have to order the Adams Rite P8800 handed?
No. Handing is field reversible on the P8800, so one device covers left and right hand openings. That matters for a property manager stocking a spare: one 30 inch unit on the shelf fits either leaf.
4) What electrified options can I order with the P8800 30 inch exit device?
Three choices on the electrification axis: none, a built-in Alarm, or MLR motorized latch retraction. MLR is what you want if the device has to release under access control so the door pushes or pulls free without operating the bar. Request-to-exit style monitoring is separate: you pick no switch, a single switch, or a dual switch.
5) What is the closest narrow stile rim exit device to the Adams Rite P8800 from another manufacturer?
For a narrow stile aluminum storefront opening, the closest peers to the Adams Rite P8800 are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in 36 inch, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices in 36 inch, and the Falcon 19-R, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 36 inch exit only. All four are narrow stile rim devices like the P8800, which is Grade 1 and built for narrow stile aluminum doors. Note the P8800 is offered in a 30 inch device length, while those peers are catalogued at 36 inch, so confirm the device length against your door width before you swap.
6) I need a rim exit device for a hollow metal wide stile door, not aluminum storefront. What should I order instead of the Adams Rite P8800?
The P8800 is a narrow stile device engineered for aluminum doors with a 3-3/4 inch stile, so a wide stile leaf is the wrong application for it. For wide stile, look at the Von Duprin 22 Series, a Grade 1 non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inch that accepts trim, or the TownSteel ED9700, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 36 inch. All three are wide stile rim devices and none of them are listed for wood doors, same as the P8800.
7) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar a substitute for the Adams Rite P8800?
No. The SDC MSB550 at 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology. Both are request-to-exit bars that signal a separate locking device, and both are catalogued for narrow or wide stile. The Adams Rite P8800 is a rim exit device with its own 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt that latches the door itself. If the door is held by a maglock, the SDC bars belong in that scheme; if the door needs a mechanical latch, the P8800 is the device.
8) What else offers built-in electrified latch retraction like the Adams Rite P8800 MLR?
The P8800 can be ordered with motorized latch retraction and with single or dual monitoring switches for access control tie-in. Comparable electrified rim devices include the Sargent 12-8810, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction, the Dormakaba E2103 electrified rim device at 36 inch with 4908A trim in classroom function, and the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Those three are wide stile builds, so on a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf the P8800 MLR stays in its own lane.
9) Can I hold the P8800 bar down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with cylinder dogging. That's a required selection on the P8800, yes or no, and it is how a retail storefront keeps the latch retracted through the trading day and then secures at close with a key. Note that dogging is generally not permitted on fire rated openings, so specify accordingly for your door.
10) Is the Adams Rite P8800 rated for heavy traffic like a school or bank entrance?
It carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 certification, the top commercial duty level for exit devices, and single-motion panic-proof egress. It's specified into retail storefronts, offices, schools, medical centers and financial institutions.
11) What other narrow stile rim exit devices could I use instead of the Adams Rite P8800?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices cover the same kind of aluminum opening. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device that accepts trim; the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are 36 inch narrow stile Grade 1 devices; Falcon's 19-R and 1590EO are narrow stile exit-only devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the P8800 stands apart is the option matrix: motorized latch retraction, built-in alarm, and single or dual monitoring switches ordered on the device itself.
12) I only need a plain mechanical exit bar, no alarm or latch retraction. What is a simpler alternative to the Adams Rite P8800?
The P8800 is built out with electrified choices including an alarm version and motorized latch retraction, plus single or dual monitoring switch options. If the opening is straight mechanical egress with nothing to wire, plainer narrow stile rim devices include the Falcon 19-R, Grade 1 narrow stile exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST 2401, a non-handed narrow stile rim device exit only, and the Marks USA M8800, a 36 inch narrow stile rim device exit only. Exit only means no outside trim, so add trim separately if you need outside access.
13) My opening is wider than the Adams Rite P8800 30 inch device covers. What narrow stile rim devices come longer?
The P8800 is offered at a 30 inch device length. For wider leaves, narrow stile rim options at longer lengths include the Falcon 1590EO and Falcon 1790EO, both Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 42 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow 4800 Series at 36 inch narrow stile exit only. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device at 36 inch. Measure the door width and match the device length to it rather than to the old device.
14) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Adams Rite P8800 rim device?
They latch differently. The P8800 is a rim device, latching into a horizontally adjustable strike on the frame or mullion with a 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolt. The Hager 4601 at 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, and the Hager 4501 at 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad; both latch top and bottom inside the door, which requires a door prepped for concealed rods. Choose by how the existing door is prepped rather than by the pushbar style.
15) What is the difference between the Adams Rite P8800 and the Cal-Royal rim exit devices?
The Adams Rite P8800 is Grade 1 and built for narrow stile aluminum doors with a 3-3/4 inch stile. The Cal-Royal 5000 at 36 inch and 5500 at 48 inch are heavy duty wide rim devices carrying a Grade 2 chassis rating, and the Cal-Royal A9800 at 36 inch and A9820 at 48 inch are heavy duty wide rim exit only devices also catalogued Grade 2. If your spec calls out ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 on a narrow stile aluminum leaf, the P8800 is the one that matches on both counts.
16) For a high abuse school or transit door, is there a heavier narrow stile rim device than the Adams Rite P8800?
The P8800 is Grade 1 with extruded aluminum construction and a stainless steel touchbar, rated for high traffic commercial openings. If you want a device catalogued above heavy duty, the Detex 40 Advantex is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device listed extra heavy duty, and the Detex 10 Advantex at 36 inch is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty device in wide stile. Both are narrow or wide stile specific, so match the Detex 40 to a narrow stile leaf and the Detex 10 to a wide one.
17) I want a night latch function narrow stile device rather than the Adams Rite P8800 with trim. What is available?
The Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim exit device in night latch function, Grade 1 and narrow stile, which gives key retraction of the latch from outside without a full lever trim set. The Adams Rite P8800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device that takes multiple trim options and levers and offers a cylinder dogging choice at order time, so the difference is whether you want outside access through a night latch cylinder or through a lever trim.
18) Can I use a crossbar style rim device instead of the Adams Rite P8800 touchbar?
Only if the door suits it. The P8800 uses a stainless steel touchbar on a narrow stile aluminum leaf. Crossbar rim devices include the CRL Jackson 1095 Series at 48 inch, a wide stile crossbar panic exit device, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are wide stile builds at 48 inch, so they will not drop onto a 3-3/4 inch narrow stile aluminum door the way the P8800 does.
19) Does the Securitron EMB exit bar do the same job as the Adams Rite P8800?
No. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar catalogued for a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. The Adams Rite P8800 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device for narrow stile aluminum doors with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking Pullman latchbolt, available with motorized latch retraction and monitoring switches when you need access control integration. If the goal is a mechanically latching storefront door with optional electrification, the P8800 is the direct answer; the EMB is an electromechanical bar on a thicker door.
20) What finishes does the Adams Rite P8800 come in?
Seven: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, 628 clear anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. The anodized finishes are the ones that match most existing aluminum storefront framing, so 313 and 628 are the usual picks when you are adding a device to an entrance that already has other hardware on it.
21) What fasteners does the Adams Rite P8800 install with?
Machine screws. Plan on drilling and tapping the aluminum door and stile per the Adams Rite template rather than using self-tappers, and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for hole locations before you commit any prep.
