BEST A101-013 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 fit my door, or do I need a different model?
The A101-013 is built for 3 foot doors with jamb dimensions of 5-1/4 to 5-3/4 inches. Measure the jamb before ordering, because the locking bar throws onto the frame rather than into a strike pocket, so the jamb depth is what decides whether the device works. Outside that jamb range, this is the wrong part number in the Arm-A-Dor family.
2) Is the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 handed, or does one unit cover both left and right hand doors?
Non-handed. The A101-013 ships pre-assembled and one unit covers either hand, so there is no left or right version to specify on the order and no field reversal step during install.
3) How does a maximum security exit device like the Arm-A-Dor differ from a standard rim exit device?
A standard rim device latches a pallet into a strike on the frame. The Arm-A-Dor A101-013 instead drives two-point solid steel deadbolts into a locking bar that extends onto the door frame, and it mounts with four thru-bolts through the door rather than surface screws. That combination is aimed at back doors and dock doors where the threat is forced entry or internal theft, not just code-required egress. If all you need is push-to-exit on an interior or lower-risk opening, a conventional rim device is the simpler choice.
4) Does the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 lock itself again after someone pushes out, or does staff have to reset it?
It relocks automatically. The A101-013 is the automatic relock version with a built-in alarm, so after an exit the deadbolts re-engage on their own and the door is secure again without anyone walking back to reset it. That is the behavior you want on a retail back door or warehouse exit that gets used unpredictably.
5) Do I need to run wiring or a panel for the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 alarm?
The alarm is built into the device itself, not a separate panel. The A101-013 arrives factory pre-assembled as an all-in-one unit, so the install work is drilling the thru-bolt holes to the template, bolting it on, and then configuring the alarm and relock settings per the installation instructions.
6) What door prep does the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 need? Can I put it on a door that already has an exit device?
Prep is four thru-bolt holes drilled through the door to the manufacturer template, plus the frame-mounted locking bar. Because it thru-bolts rather than reusing an existing rim device's mounting pattern, plan on drilling fresh holes rather than picking up old ones. The full hole pattern and torque values are in the Arm-A-Dor installation instructions supplied with the device.
7) I have several back doors to standardize. Can I order the same Arm-A-Dor A101-013 for all of them?
Yes, provided every opening is a 3 foot door with a 5-1/4 to 5-3/4 inch jamb. The A101-013 is a single non-handed model with no finish or hand options to track, so one part number covers a fleet of matching openings and every unit behaves the same way: push to exit, alarm sounds, deadbolts relock on their own.
8) Is the Arm-A-Dor A101-013 suitable for a house or garage, or is it commercial only?
Commercial. The A101-013 is specified for commercial door hardware use, and the applications it is built around are retail back doors, warehouse and distribution exits, industrial emergency exits, and commercial rear entrances where the door takes heavy use and abuse.
