Command Access MLRK1-JAC12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Command Access MLRK1-JAC12 kit fit my Jackson 1285 exit device?
Yes. The MLRK1-JAC12 motorized latch retraction kit is built as a retrofit for Jackson 1275, 1285 and 1295 exit devices, and it also fits Kawneer 1686/1786 and AHT 8/9 series devices. The motor assembly is sized to sit inside the exit device pushpad, so you are electrifying the device you already have on the door rather than replacing it. If your device is a different series or brand, this is not the kit for it.
2) Do I need the REX version of the MLRK1 latch retraction kit, or the standard one?
Two versions are offered: standard, and with REX (request-to-exit). Take the REX version when your access control system needs to know someone pushed the pad from the inside, to shunt the door alarm or log the egress. If the door is only being unlocked remotely and nothing needs a signal back from the pushpad, the standard kit covers it. This is an order-time choice, so settle it with whoever is programming the panel before you buy.
3) Do I have to replace my exit devices to add card access to a Jackson or Kawneer storefront door?
No, and that is the point of this kit. The MLRK1-JAC12 is a field-installable electrification kit that converts an existing Jackson 1275/1285/1295, Kawneer 1686/1786 or AHT 8/9 mechanical exit device into an access-controlled opening. You keep the device, the door prep and the trim; you add the motor inside the pushpad and run 24VDC to it. That is a considerably smaller job than swapping in a factory-electrified device and redoing the prep.
4) Can I use motorized latch retraction for electric dogging on a high-traffic storefront door?
Yes, that is one of its main uses. The MLRK1-JAC12 is rated for continuous duty in the retracted (dogged) state, so you can hold the latch back through business hours and re-lock on a schedule. If someone pulls the push pad while it is dogged, the kit automatically re-engages rather than staying stuck out of position.
5) How do you adjust latch engagement after installing a Command Access MLRK1 kit without pulling the device apart again?
The kit uses Command Access 1 TOUCH "Push to Set" adjustment, which gives roughly 1/4 inch of range to fine-tune how far the latch pulls back after the device is reassembled on the door. That matters on a retrofit, where the existing device and strike are rarely perfect, and it saves the usual cycle of taking the pushpad back off to shim the throw.
6) Will a motorized latch retraction kit work on a tall vertical rod door or a narrow stile aluminum frame?
Yes. The MM5 smart module included with the kit has Low Torque and High Torque modes, so it can pull the extra load of a vertical rod device on a tall door or the tighter mechanics of a narrow stile frame while keeping current draw down on easier openings. The module also gives audible feedback on adjustment and power delivery, which is how you confirm the mode you have set is actually pulling the latch clear.
7) What connections come with the Command Access MLRK1-JAC12 kit for hooking up to the power supply?
An 8 inch Molex cable is included and mates directly to the MM5 control module, so the motor-to-module connection is plug-in rather than field-terminated. From the module out to the supply you are landing standard 18 AWG for runs up to 300 feet.
8) Is the Command Access MLRK1-JAC12 a commercial-duty part or is it meant for residential use?
Commercial. It is classified as commercial door hardware and is aimed at storefront and institutional retrofits, schools, hospitals, retail and multi-tenant buildings, where the device is cycled hard and the opening is tied into an access control system.
