BEST A101-F01 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arm-A-Dor A101-F01 fit my door width and jamb?
The A101-F01 is built for doors 3 feet to 4 feet wide with a 6-3/4 inch jamb. Door thickness range is 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, so it covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors as well as thicker hollow metal leaves. If your jamb is not 6-3/4 inches, this is the wrong unit for the opening.
2) Do I need to order the Arm-A-Dor A101-F01 left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The A101-F01 ships pre-assembled and non-handed, so one unit works on either swing. That is what makes it quick on retrofit work where you are matching an existing opening without re-prepping the door for hand.
3) How does the Arm-A-Dor latch differ from a normal rim exit device with a strike?
Instead of a latchbolt dropping into a strike, the A101-F01 throws two solid steel deadbolts as a locking bar that extends onto the door frame. That is the reason it is classed as a maximum security device: there is no conventional latch and strike to pry or shim. A standard rim device is the better choice when you need a keyed outside trim and normal latching; the Arm-A-Dor is for back doors and service exits where forced entry and internal theft are the problem.
4) Is the A101-F01 fire rated?
Yes, the A101-F01 is the fire rated version of the Arm-A-Dor, which is what lets it go on a labeled opening where a non-rated maximum security device could not be used. It keeps the same four-point thru-bolt mounting and two-point deadbolt latching as the standard model.
5) Does the Arm-A-Dor A101-F01 relock by itself after someone pushes out?
It does. The device relocks automatically once the door closes after an authorized exit, so nobody has to walk back and reset it. On a retail or warehouse back door that is the difference between a door that is secure at close of business and one that got propped by accident.
6) Does the A101-F01 include an alarm, or do I have to add one?
The alarm is built into the unit, not a separate accessory. It signals unauthorized exit attempts at the door itself, so you get local notification without tying into a panel. Configuration of the alarm is covered in the manufacturer's Arm-A-Dor installation instructions.
7) What prep does the door need for the four-point thru-bolt mounting?
Four thru-bolt holes are drilled through the door leaf using the manufacturer's template, then the pre-assembled unit is bolted through to the mounting torque given in the instructions. Thru-bolting rather than surface screws is what resists a prying attack on the device itself. Plan on being able to reach both faces of the door.
8) Is an Arm-A-Dor the right choice for a back door that keeps getting broken into?
That is exactly the application. The Arm-A-Dor line was designed around back door break-ins and internal theft, and it is installed on back doors by many large national retailers. Typical uses are retail rear exits, warehouse and distribution center emergency exits, industrial secured exits, multi-tenant service entrances, and restricted-access exits in healthcare and schools. Where you need keyed entry from outside and regular traffic in both directions, a conventional rim exit device with trim suits better.
9) Can one person retrofit an Arm-A-Dor onto an existing exit door?
It arrives pre-assembled and non-handed, which cuts field assembly and makes retrofit straightforward: template, drill the four thru-bolt holes, bolt it on, adjust the two-point deadbolt for frame alignment, then cycle-test the exit, alarm, and relock. Full details are in the Arm-A-Dor installation instructions supplied with the device.
