BEST A101-F02 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02 fit my door size and frame?
The A101-F02 comes pre-assembled for doors 3 feet to 4 feet wide with a 6-3/4 inch jamb. Door thickness needs to be between 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 inches. If your opening is outside that width or your jamb depth is different, this pre-assembled configuration is not the one to order.
2) Does the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02 need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The A101-F02 is non-handed, so one part number covers both swings. That is useful if you are stocking spares across a portfolio of buildings instead of carrying a left and a right.
3) Can I use the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02 on a fire rated exit door?
Yes. The A101-F02 is the fire rated version of the Arm-A-Dor, so it suits egress openings where the door assembly has to hold a rating and still stay secure against break-ins.
4) How does the Arm-A-Dor latch differ from a normal rim exit device with a latch and strike?
Instead of a latchbolt dropping into a strike, the Arm-A-Dor throws two solid steel deadbolts that extend onto the door frame itself, at two points. Combined with four-point thru-bolt mounting through the door, that gives you far more resistance to prying and forced entry than a conventional rim device. The trade-off is that it is a security-first device for back-of-house and emergency exits, not a main entrance you want people walking in and out of.
5) What happens after someone pushes the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02 bar and exits?
The device relocks automatically once the door closes, so the opening does not sit unsecured after an exit. A built-in alarm sounds on the push, which is what makes it common on retail back doors and stockroom exits where you want to know the moment someone goes out.
6) Does the A101-F02 need a mortise prep or cut-outs in the door?
No mortising. The unit ships pre-assembled and mounts with four thru-bolts, so door prep is drilling the thru-bolt holes from the manufacturer's template. That keeps install time down and is one reason it works well as a retrofit on existing steel doors.
7) Is the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02 a commercial or residential exit device?
Strictly commercial. It is built for high-abuse traffic in warehouses, distribution centers, industrial facilities, multi-tenant commercial property and government buildings, where standard exit hardware gets beaten up.
8) Where do I get the install template and alarm setup instructions for the Arm-A-Dor A101-F02?
BEST publishes Arm-A-Dor installation instructions as a PDF that covers the thru-bolt hole layout, deadbolt alignment and alarm function testing. Work from that document for hole locations rather than measuring off the device.
