BEST A101-014 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arm-A-Dor A101-014 fit my door opening?
The A101-014 is built for 4 foot wide doors with jamb dimensions of 5-1/4 to 5-3/4 inches. If your jamb depth falls outside that range, or the door leaf is wider or narrower than 4 feet, this is the wrong model in the Arm-A-Dor line. Measure the jamb before ordering, because the locking bar has to land on the frame correctly for the deadbolts to engage.
2) Does the Arm-A-Dor A101-014 need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The A101-014 ships pre-assembled and non-handed, so one unit covers either swing direction. That is what makes it straightforward on retrofit work where you may not know the handing until you are at the door.
3) How does the Arm-A-Dor latch differ from a standard rim exit device with a latch and strike?
Instead of a latchbolt dropping into a strike, the Arm-A-Dor uses two-point solid steel deadbolt latching with a locking bar that extends onto the door frame. That spreads the holding force across the frame rather than concentrating it at a single strike, which is why these get specified on back doors that get pried. A conventional rim device is the cheaper, code-simple choice on interior egress; the Arm-A-Dor is for exterior doors where forced entry is the actual threat.
4) Does the A101-014 relock by itself after someone exits?
Yes. The A101-014 is the automatic relock version, so the deadbolts re-engage after each use with no staff action. On a retail or warehouse back door that matters, because a manual-relock device left propped is a door standing unlocked until someone notices.
5) Is the Arm-A-Dor mounted with screws or thru-bolts?
Four-point thru-bolt mounting. The device bolts through the door rather than relying on surface screws into the door skin, so an attacker cannot strip or pull the fasteners from the exterior. You will be drilling the door for thru-bolts, so use the manufacturer template to lay out the holes.
6) Do I need a separate alarm or door contact with the Arm-A-Dor A101-014?
The alarm is built into the device, so you get local annunciation on an unauthorized exit or a forced entry attempt without adding a standalone door alarm. It is a self-contained local alarm; if you want the door reported back to a monitored panel, that is a separate integration on your security system.
7) What prep work does the Arm-A-Dor A101-014 install take?
Because the unit arrives pre-assembled, the work is door prep and adjustment rather than build-up. Lay out the four thru-bolt holes from the manufacturer template, drill the door, mount the unit in alignment with the frame, then adjust the deadbolt latching so it engages the frame cleanly and test the exit function, the automatic relock, and the alarm. BEST publishes Arm-A-Dor installation instructions as a PDF for the full sequence.
8) Is the Arm-A-Dor A101-014 suitable for residential use?
It is a commercial device. BEST classifies the Arm-A-Dor as commercial only, and the typical applications are retail back doors, warehouse and distribution exits, industrial secured exits, and multi-tenant commercial property doors. For a house you would be looking at residential locksets instead.
