BEST PRE-A101-002 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arm-A-Dor A101-002 fit a 4 foot wide door?
Yes. The Arm-A-Dor A101-002 covers doors from 3 to 4 feet wide, with a door thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches and jambs from 5-3/4 to 12-3/4 inches. If your opening is wider than 4 feet or the leaf is thinner than 1-3/4 inches, this is the wrong device for it.
2) Can I put an alarmed maximum security exit device on a fire rated back door?
The Arm-A-Dor A101-002 is UL/cUL 10C 3-hour Fire Listed and also UL/cUL 305 Listed as a panic device, so it goes on a fire rated opening. It is offered fire-rated or non-fire-rated, and with or without the alarm, so specify the fire-rated build when the door assembly is rated.
3) What does automatic relock mean on an Arm-A-Dor exit device, and does it still let people out?
The A101-002 uses a heavy-duty locking bar that secures the door from the outside and relocks itself once the door closes, so an employee pushing out a back door does not leave it unsecured behind them. Egress is unaffected: it is a life-safety panic device, UL/cUL 305 Listed, so one push on the bar releases the door from the inside every time.
4) What do I need to order with the A101-002 to tie it into access control?
Three electrified options are offered on the Arm-A-Dor A101-002: the exit alarm, a request-to-exit switch, and an A/C adapter kit. The REX switch is what your integrator lands on the access control panel to shunt the alarm on authorized exits, and the A/C adapter kit is what you add if you do not want to live on batteries. Order those at the same time as the device.
5) Does the A101-002 meet ADA requirements for accessible egress?
Yes. The Arm-A-Dor A101-002 is built to the ANSI A117.1 Accessibility Code, so it can be used on accessible egress doors in commercial and institutional buildings. It also carries California State Fire Marshal (California Title 24) compliance, which matters if you are specifying into a California facility.
6) Is there an exit device that works in a Florida hurricane zone?
The Arm-A-Dor A101-002 is Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade County hurricane compliant, so it can go on exterior openings in the high velocity hurricane zone. That plus the 3-hour fire listing is why it turns up on coastal retail and warehouse back doors.
7) Do I need to buy a separate strike or trim for the Arm-A-Dor A101-002?
No outside trim to specify. The A101-002 ships pre-assembled as a complete rim-style maximum security device, and there is no exterior lever or pull to select, which is the point of it: the back door has no outside operation at all. Installation is drilling and routing the door and frame to the supplied template, mounting the device, then adjusting for latching.
8) Will the A101-002 stop employees from propping the back door open?
That is what it is built for. The Arm-A-Dor A101-002 pairs an automatic relocking bar with a built-in alarm that sounds on unauthorized egress, so a door propped or pushed open announces itself instead of quietly staying open. Retail loss prevention is the main use case, along with warehouse and distribution back doors.
9) What finish does the BEST Precision A101-002 come in?
One finish only: 628 Satin Aluminum, clear anodized. That is the standard aluminum-door match, so it blends on a storefront or a hollow metal service door without a special order. If your other openings are painted or brass, this device will not match them.
10) Is the Arm-A-Dor A101-002 rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Commercial. The A101-002 is a heavy-duty maximum security exit device specified into retail, offices, warehouses, schools, healthcare, industrial plants, and government buildings. It is not a residential product and there is no light-duty version of it.
