Adams Rite 7160-510-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Adams Rite 7160 electric strike work in an aluminum storefront jamb, or do I need a different model?
The 7160 is the aluminum-jamb version. Narrow stile aluminum doors with mortise or cylindrical locksets are exactly what it's cut for, using a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch faceplate and a compact 1 x 3-3/8 x 1-7/8 inch deep case so it fits the shallow pocket you get in a storefront tube jamb. If your frame is hollow metal or wood, order the 7170 instead, which is the same strike in that prep.
2) Will the Adams Rite 7160 accept the 3/4 inch latchbolt on my existing lock?
Yes, up to 3/4 inch [19.1 mm] latch projection is what the 7160 keeper handles, and it works with either a mortise or a cylindrical lock. One limit to know: it takes the latchbolt only, no deadbolt. If the door is secured by a deadbolt as well, that bolt has to be retracted by other means, the strike won't release it.
3) Is the Adams Rite 7160 fire rated for a labeled door opening?
No. The 7160 carries a UL 1034 burglary-resistant listing, not a fire label. For a labeled opening, pick a fire rated strike instead: the Von Duprin 6400 lists a 3-Hour UL 10C rating in fail-secure, the Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks, and the Camden CX-ED1410/CX-ED1420 universal strikes are fire rated as well.
4) Do I have to decide fail-safe or fail-secure when I order the 7160, or can I change it in the field?
Both. Fail-safe/fail-secure on the 7160 is field selectable at installation, so an installer can set it either way on the door. The order form still asks you to pick one of four configurations: Fail-Safe, Fail-Secure, Fail-Safe/Monitored, or Fail-Secure/Monitored. Practical read: choose the monitored configuration if you need the switches, and don't lose sleep over the safe/secure half of the choice, since that one is settable on site. Fail-safe unlocks when power drops, which is what an egress-controlled opening usually wants; fail-secure stays locked, which is what a perimeter door usually wants.
5) What voltage do I need for the Adams Rite 7160 and how much current does it draw?
The 7160 comes in 12, 16, or 24 volt, AC or DC, and the voltage is an ordering choice, not a field setting, so it has to match the power supply you already have. Draw by configuration: 0.33A at 12 VDC, 1.42A at 12 VAC, 0.22A at 16 VDC, 0.63A at 16 VAC, 0.17A at 24 VDC, 0.74A at 24 VAC. The AC versions pull several times the current of the DC ones at the same voltage, so if you're sizing a supply for a bank of doors, the 24 VDC option at 0.17A is the lightest load of the six.
6) What do I need to order besides the 7160 strike body to get a complete unit?
The 7160 ships as modular packaging, so a complete strike is a strike body kit plus a matching faceplate kit. Order both. If the door centerline to jamb dimension on your opening doesn't line up, lip extension kits are offered to cover various centerline-to-jamb dimensions. Measure that dimension on the actual frame before you order, because it's the detail that most often stops a storefront strike install on the day.
7) I'm replacing a strike in an ANSI 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch prep. Is the Adams Rite 7160 the right one, or is there another option?
The 7160 uses a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, which is the standard ANSI strike prep size, so in a jamb already cut that way it's a like-for-like faceplate footprint. Where it differs from a general purpose strike is the case: it's built for the shallow narrow stile aluminum jamb pocket. Two others we carry in the same 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch faceplate are the Dortronics 3300 Series with latch bolt sensing and 12/24 VDC, and the Trine EN430 at 12 VDC with field selectable fail safe or fail secure and up to 7/8 inch throw, which is the one to look at if your latch projection exceeds 3/4 inch.
8) My latch throw is only 5/8 inch. Do I need the Adams Rite 7160 or will a smaller strike do?
The 7160 accepts latch projection up to 3/4 inch, so a 5/8 inch latch falls well inside its range. If you would rather match the strike to the shorter throw, the Hager 2925 is built around a 5/8 inch latch with field reversible fail safe/secure operation, the SDC 15 Series covers 5/8 inch latchbolts on 12/24 VDC, the SDC 45F is fire-rated for 5/8 inch latchbolts with a radius corner faceplate, and the Trine 2001 handles up to 5/8 inch on a 5-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in faceplate. For 1/2 inch latches the SDC 25 Series applies. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) strike body spans 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, and 3/4 inch throws in one part.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Adams Rite 7160 but will not work on a narrow stile aluminum door with a latchbolt?
Several strikes sit in the same aisle and solve a different opening. The SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt, and the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac for surface vertical rods - both are exit device strikes, not latchbolt strikes for a lockset. The Hager 2945 is a rim exit strike. The Camden CX-ED1959 Series is outdoor rated for gate applications. The Rockwood ESK-DBL is built for double doors with a 3/4 keeper. The 7160 is intended for aluminum doors carrying a mortise or cylindrical lockset with up to 3/4 inch latch projection and no deadbolt, so confirm what is actually latching into the jamb before swapping.
10) What electric strike can replace the Adams Rite 7160 on a hollow metal or wood frame instead of aluminum?
The 7160 is built for aluminum door applications, with the 7170 covering hollow metal or wood. If you want a different brand for a hollow metal opening, the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular electric strike that works with mortise or cylindrical locks in a fail-secure configuration, and the Hager 2930 is a Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/secure operation. Both handle the same mortise-or-cylindrical lock type the 7160 serves, so the lock in the door does not have to change.
11) The 7160 is not fire rated. What electric strike should I use on a fire rated opening with a mortise or cylindrical lock?
The Adams Rite 7160 carries a fire rating of No, so a labeled opening needs a different strike. The Von Duprin 4211 32D is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation. The Von Duprin 6210 is a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty strike for mortise locks, 24 VDC fail-secure, UL 10C. The Von Duprin 6400 32D carries a 3-Hour UL 10C rating in its fail-secure configuration and covers mortise or cylindrical locks. The Securitron MUNL is a fire rated Grade 1 mortise unlatch strike. Match the choice to whether the door carries a mortise or cylindrical lock.
12) I need a Grade 1 electric strike. Which comparable strikes carry a stated Grade 1 rating?
Specifiers writing to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 have several options in the same mortise-and-cylindrical space the Adams Rite 7160 serves. The Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike in the AES Series. The Von Duprin 4211 32D, 6210, and 6400 32D are all Grade 1 heavy duty. The HES Folger Adam 310-1(X) is a Grade 1 strike body for 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, or 3/4 inch throw latchbolts, which spans the same up-to-3/4-inch projection the 7160 accepts. The Securitron MUNL is Grade 1 for mortise locks, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 dual monitor strike shipping with 8 faceplates.
13) I am standardizing strikes across a building with mixed aluminum, hollow metal, and wood frames. What covers all of them?
The Adams Rite 7160 covers the aluminum openings, with the 7170 taking hollow metal and wood, so a facility can stay on one series across frame types. If you would rather carry a single universal part number, the Camden CX-ED1410 and CX-ED1420 Series are universal Grade 1 ANSI fire-rated strikes, the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated universal low profile strike supplied with 4 faceplates, and the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 ships with 8 faceplates. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a modular Grade 1 strike for mortise or cylindrical locks. Keep in mind the 7160 is not fire rated, so labeled openings in the same building need one of the fire rated choices.
14) The Adams Rite 7160 needs a faceplate cutout in the jamb. What if I cannot cut the frame?
The 7160 mounts into a prepared jamb with a 4-7/8 inch faceplate and a 1 in x 3-3/8 in x 1-7/8 in deep case. On a retrofit where cutting the frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike in the NC Series. For a retrofit that keeps a heavy duty strike, the Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are both heavy duty, as is the Locknetics CS450. Confirm the latch throw in the door either way, since the 7160 accepts up to 3/4 inch projection with no deadbolt.
15) Can I get door position and latch status monitoring on the Adams Rite 7160 strike?
Yes, through the optional monitoring package: two Form C switches, one reporting latchbolt status and one reporting jaw position. That's what lets an access control panel or head-end see whether the latch is actually in the keeper and whether the strike jaw has relocked, rather than just whether you sent a release signal. Monitoring is an ordering decision, so specify one of the Monitored configurations up front, either Fail-Safe/Monitored or Fail-Secure/Monitored.
16) Will the 7160 finish match my dark bronze aluminum storefront?
Yes. Three anodized finishes are offered on the 7160, matched to standard aluminum storefront colors: 313 dark bronze anodized, 335 black anodized, and 628 clear anodized. For a property manager standardizing across a building, 313 and 628 are the two that pair with the overwhelming majority of existing storefront framing.
17) Should I use an electric strike like the 7160 or a magnetic lock on my aluminum entry door?
An electric strike keeps the mechanical lock in the door and just controls the keeper, so the door still locks and keys the way it does today, and mechanical egress by turning the lever is unaffected. That's why it suits a narrow stile aluminum door with a mortise or cylindrical lockset already in it. The tradeoff is that a strike depends on the existing latch: the 7160 handles up to 3/4 inch of latchbolt and no deadbolt, so a door secured by a deadbolt is the wrong candidate. A mag lock has no latch dependency but requires its own egress hardware and releases the door entirely when power drops.
18) How many 7160 strikes can I run off one power supply, and does it matter whether I spec AC or DC?
It matters a lot. Per strike, the draw runs from 0.17A at 24 VDC up to 1.42A at 12 VAC, a factor of more than eight between the lightest and heaviest option. Spec'ing 24 VDC across a job keeps the per-door load at 0.17A, so a given supply carries far more openings than it would at 12 VAC. Sum the per-door figure across every strike that could be energized at once, then size the supply above that. Voltage is fixed at order time on the 7160, so this gets decided before the parts ship, not on site.
19) Is there a simpler electric strike than the Adams Rite 7160 if I only need fail-secure and no monitoring?
The 7160 is field selectable between fail-safe and fail-secure and can be ordered with two Form C monitor switches. If the opening only needs a fixed fail-secure strike with no monitoring, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for a special offset latch entry. The SDC 25 Series covers 1/2 inch latchbolts and the SDC 15 Series covers 5/8 inch latchbolts on 12/24 VDC. Note the 7160 takes latch projection up to 3/4 inch, so confirm your latch throw falls inside whichever of these you pick.
20) What electric strike gives me latchbolt monitoring if I am not using the Adams Rite 7160 monitored option?
The 7160 takes two optional Form C monitor switches reporting latchbolt status and jaw position, and is ordered as a monitored or non-monitored part. For monitoring from another maker, the Dortronics 3300 Series includes a latch bolt sensing switch and an ANSI 4-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in strike plate. The Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a Grade 1 dual monitor fire rated strike supplied with 8 faceplates. The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with a latchbolt monitor, for an opening with an exit device rather than a lockset.
