Adams Rite P8801 42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a 42 inch Adams Rite P8800 latch into my existing strike?
The P8800 throws a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless steel Pullman latchbolt into its own strike assembly, and that strike adjusts horizontally up to 1/4 inch to take up misalignment in the frame. A Pullman latch is a pivoting hook style latch, not a standard beveled rim latch, so it needs the Pullman rim strike prepped from the manufacturer's strike template. Plan on replacing the frame strike rather than reusing whatever is there now.
2) What electrified and monitoring options come on the Adams Rite P8800 exit device?
Three electrified builds: none, alarm, or MLR motorized latch retraction. Monitoring is separate, ordered as no switch, a single switch, or a dual switch. Cylinder dogging is its own yes/no choice at order time. If you are tying the door into an access control system, MLR plus a request-to-exit style monitoring switch is the combination that lets the head end both release the latch and see the door state.
3) What else could I use instead of an Adams Rite P8800 on a narrow stile aluminum door?
Other Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices we carry include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 (36 inch, 1-3/4 inch doors, accepts trim), the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO in 42 inch exit only, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 36 inch, and the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty. The main difference to weigh: the P8800 uses a Pullman hook latch and takes doors up to 2-1/4 inches thick, while the Falcon and Corbin Russwin narrow stile devices are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only.
4) I have a 2 inch thick aluminum door, will a standard rim exit device work?
Most rim devices we carry are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only, including the Von Duprin 22, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 and ED5200, and the Arrow ED910. The P8800 covers 1-3/4 through 2-1/4 inches, so it handles the thicker aluminum entrance. On the wide stile side the DORMA 9300 Series is also listed 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches.
5) Will a rim exit device like the P8800 work on a pair of aluminum doors with no mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on the adjacent door, so a pair without a center mullion needs either a removable mullion added or a vertical rod device. For a pair, look at concealed vertical rod options such as the Hager 4601 Series narrow stile CVR or the Hager 4501 wide stile CVR, which latch at the head and threshold instead. The P8800 is the right choice on a single door or on a pair that has a mullion.
6) I need a fire rated rim exit device for an aluminum opening - can I use the Adams Rite P8800?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is carried as non fire rated. For an opening that requires a fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim exit device, the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, the Orca OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, and Marks USA offers the M9900F in both 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated rim exit only configurations. Fire rated rim devices omit dogging, so the door latches on every cycle rather than being held retracted during business hours.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Adams Rite P8800 narrow stile rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is a narrow stile rim exit device carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 rating. The nearest cross-brand matches in narrow stile rim are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, the Falcon 1590EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in a 42 inch exit only configuration, and the TownSteel ED8900, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The Falcon 1590EO matches the P8800 on size at 42 inches, while the ED4200 and ED8900 are catalogued at 36 inches. Match the stile type first: a wide stile device will not fit the narrow stile aluminum door the P8800 is built for.
8) What should I order instead of the Adams Rite P8800 if the door is a wide stile hollow metal or storefront with a 4 inch stile?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is built for narrow stile aluminum doors with a 3-3/4 inch stile. On a wide stile door, the Von Duprin 22 is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim, the Detex 10 Advantex is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty wide stile rim device at 36 inches, and the DORMA 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device at 48 inches carrying a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Wide stile chassis are wider than the P8800 rail and will overhang a narrow aluminum stile.
9) The Adams Rite P8800 is 42 inches - what narrow stile rim device do I use on a 36 inch door leaf?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is stocked in a 42 inch size. For a shorter narrow stile leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches, the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit only device at 36 inches, and the Marks USA M8800 is a narrow stile rim exit only device at 36 inches. Device length is measured to the door width it serves, so confirm the leaf before ordering rather than trimming a longer rail.
10) What is the difference between the Adams Rite P8800 and an SDC exit bar like the PSB560 or MSB550?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is a mechanical rim exit device with a latchbolt that secures the door, available with motorized latch retraction and single or dual monitoring switches. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, both catalogued for narrow or wide stile. Those bars signal a separate electromagnetic lock to release rather than carrying a latch themselves, so they are not a drop in for a device that latches the door on its own.
11) Can I swap the Adams Rite P8800 rim device for a concealed vertical rod device on the same aluminum door?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is a rim device, latching into a strike on the frame at the lock stile. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device at 36 inches and the Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad at 36 inches. Vertical rod devices latch at the head and sill through rods routed inside the door, which requires a door prepped for that hardware, so the swap is a door change and not just a device change.
12) Which narrow stile rim exit devices accept a night latch or keyed trim like the Adams Rite P8800?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is offered with multiple trim options and levers and with cylinder dogging. Among narrow stile peers, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in a night latch function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device catalogued as exit only and accepting trim. By contrast the Falcon 1590EO, Falcon 1790EO and Falcon 19-R narrow stile devices are exit only, which is the configuration to avoid if the opening needs key entry from outside.
13) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Adams Rite P8800?
No handing to call out. The P8800 is field reversible, so one device covers left hand and right hand openings and you can flip it on site. What you do have to decide up front is the electrified option, the monitoring switch, cylinder dogging, and finish.
14) Should I use cylinder dogging or an electric strike with the P8800 on a storefront door?
Two different jobs. Cylinder dogging is a key-operated mechanical hold of the pushbar so the door stays in free push-pull during business hours, and it is a yes/no option when you order the P8800. An electric strike gives you remote or credentialed entry from the outside while the device stays latched. The P8800 is stated compatible with the Adams Rite 7800 Series electric strike, so you can order dogging and still run access control on the same opening.
15) What hardware do I need to mount an Adams Rite P8800, and does it come with it?
The P8800 mounts with machine screws, and installation runs off two Adams Rite templates: the Pullman Rim Exit Template for the door and the Pullman Rim Exit Strike Template for the frame. The door gets drilled and routed to that prep. Order the outside trim or lever separately if the opening needs entry from outside; the device itself handles egress only until trim is added.
16) Can I standardize one exit device across storefront entrances and interior wood doors?
Not with the P8800. It is an aluminum-door device and is not compatible with wood doors, so a mixed facility needs a second device for the wood and hollow metal openings. Grade 1 wide stile rim devices we carry for those doors include the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the Von Duprin 22, the Detex 10 Advantex, and the TownSteel ED9700. Keeping the same finish family across both, such as 630 satin stainless, is usually how facilities keep the look consistent when the devices have to differ.
17) How wide a door does the 42 inch P8800 exit device suit?
The 42 inch size is the only length offered in this configuration, and it is the common fit for a wider aluminum entrance leaf. On narrower storefront leaves a 36 inch device is the usual call, and narrow stile 36 inch options we stock include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the TownSteel ED3700, and the Falcon 19-R. Measure the door leaf before ordering; the device bar should not overhang the stiles.
18) Is there a lower cost alternative to the Adams Rite P8800 for a low traffic aluminum door?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is Grade 1 certified for commercial duty. Where a lighter chassis suits the opening, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a Grade 2 rim exit device with a touch bar at 36 inches and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a Grade 2 rim device with a push bar at 48 inches, both heavy duty. The Hager 4701 is a standard duty rim exit device with Grade 1 BHMA certification. Grade 2 chassis are tested to a lower cycle count than Grade 1, which matters on a main entrance but less on a rear service door.
19) I need electric latch retraction on a narrow stile aluminum door - what are my options besides the Adams Rite P8800?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series offers a motorized latch retraction option along with an alarm option. Cross brand, the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod, the Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar carried for a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. Motorized retraction draws inrush current, so size the power supply to the device before specifying.
20) The Adams Rite P8800 uses a touchbar - which comparable rim devices use a crossbar instead?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series uses a stainless steel touchbar. Where a crossbar style is wanted, the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic exit device in wide stile and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device in wide stile with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Both are wide stile, so they suit a wider door leaf rather than the narrow aluminum stile the P8800 serves.
21) Will the Adams Rite P8800 work on a wood door, and what rim devices are rated for one?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is built for aluminum doors and is not wood door compatible. The rim exit devices in the comparable set share that limitation, including the Von Duprin 22, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200, the Detex 10 Advantex and the TownSteel ED8900, all catalogued as not wood door compatible. For a wood leaf, verify the device against the door manufacturer's prep before specifying any of these.
22) What device matches the Adams Rite P8800 look on an adjacent door that does not need a working latch?
The Adams Rite P8800 Series is a functioning rim exit device with a deadlocking latchbolt. For an inactive leaf or a door that needs the same bar appearance without exit function, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 super heavy duty dummy exit device with a wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device in a dummy function with RX and MELR. Both are wide stile, so plan the pairing on a wide stile leaf rather than the narrow aluminum stile.
23) What finishes does the Adams Rite P8800 narrow stile exit device come in?
Seven, and they split between anodized aluminum and plated: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, and 628 clear anodized to match standard storefront framing, plus 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. On a retrofit into an existing aluminum entrance, 313 and 628 are the two that usually match the door frame already on the building.
