Aluminum doors and frames are used in many commercial applications.Usually they are exterior doors, but sometimes they are also used in interior space.They are made of aluminum tubes and glass.
Typically, these doors are the \"standard\" ordered from the manufacturer \".MS the bolt (as shown in the right picture), also known as the flip Bolt, because 1-The 1/2 Bolt is flipped from the lock to the slot on the aluminum frame.It\'s a very safe lock but it\'s hard to power on.
Therefore, the electrified door of the aluminum storefront usually needs to bypass this lock or replace it.This article will deal with this and other issues regarding the electric locking of aluminum storefront doors.There are narrow doors, medium doors and wide doors in the aluminum storefront.
\"Stile\" means the aluminum pipe with the lock installed.This tube is usually 1-3/4 thick.Narrow, medium and wide means the width of the pipe.The narrow stile is usually 1-3/4 to 2 inch wide;Medium size is usually 3-1/2 wide;It is usually about 5 inch wide.
You should know what width you have before you continue to be electrified.In the past, the only way to power up the aluminum storefront was to replace the MS latch with the Adams Rite latch, or install the latch in another position and keep the latch, and cut an electric shock on the frame.These are still the best and/or the cheapest options.
It is possible to release the MS1850S Bolt with an electric shock, but it is not advisable because it will cause outlet and other problems.To replace the MS latch with the latch, you need to know the backtrack group.The inverse group is the distance from the edge of the door to the center line of the cylindrical hole.
A ms anchor bolt will have a 31/32 inch back plate, 1-1/8 inches, 1-1/2, or very rarely 7/8.You also need to know the thickness of the door, the finish, the width of the door, and whether the door is single or pair.The aluminum door pair is usually Radian-That is to say, each of them has a circular edge where they meet.
The radius surface aluminum door is locked and shocked by the radius panel.The Adams Rite 4900 deadlocks are designed to be installed in the same preparation as the MS1850S.The Adams Rite 4591 paddle will perfectly combine with the inside barrel hole cut by MS1850S (provided you have selected the correct rear latch ).
You can reuse the cylinder that comes with MS1850S if you want, and keep the same key.All in all, there is no problem converting the MS latch to the lock side of the latch.Strike is another matter.The following figure shows the door frame on the left, which is prepared to accept the MS1850S latch with a slot, and the door frame on the right is covered with the same preparation as the electric shock cut.
As you can see, there is a lot to do.
6-series electric strike or similar7/8 panel.Since the 4900 latch is above the bolts of the MS1850, the strike installation must be offset upwards, as shown in the figure.That\'s why a panel is at least 6-It takes 7/8 long.
In many cases, it is necessary to make electric shock modifications to the existing Adams Rite latch.The normal strike used by the Adams bolt lock is twice.FPK45-The panel kit with the Adams 7100 series electric strike mechanism requires minimal modified cutting, or you can use the Trine 3458 electric strike to precisely install a very small amount of cutting.
Several manufacturers, to name two -Install router templates are provided to help make cutouts on aluminum doors and frames..Although much more expensive than the classic, the installation is much easier and saves valuable manpower and time.My experience with Adams Rite 4200 is that this is a reliable option.
It has the same paddle and cylinder as the Adams Rite 4510, 4710 and 4900 series inserts.Many technicians choose to use an induction lock sometimes called a magnetic lock.Maglocks are easy to install, simple and not expensive.
They are inherently fail-safe.
When the power runs out and the battery backup runs out, they unlock.They are usually installed at the top of the door.Because only the top is locked, the bottom pulls out a bit when someone tries to open the door, giving an unsafe, sloppy feeling.
Maglocks locks lock people inside and outside.That\'s why some inspectors hate magic.Special care must be taken so that the means of export comply not only with local, state and national regulations, but also with local authorities with jurisdiction..If you have an aluminum storefront door with an outlet device on it, you can easily replace it with a compatible electric latch-back model, or retrofit the electric latch-back Kit to an existing device.
These are very good options because they retain the functionality of the opening design.Here is a partial list of devices with drop-Adams Rite -drop-Corbin -drop-Doromatic -some drop-Jackson -Sargent -Some refills, some dropsVon Duprin -You can also power on the outside of the decoration instead of electric retracting the latch.Compared with the electric plug-in recovery, the advantage of the live decoration is that the current consumption is small and the installation is convenient.
Latch reset devices typically require special power supplies, as their influx current is too large depending on the manufacturer, typically running 12 am ps to 16 am ps at 24 v dc.Adams Rite 8800EL series is a notable narrow Steele aluminum door outlet unit that requires less than 1 amp at 24 v dc.It is relatively cheap and can be installed in a matter of minutes, especially if the application does not require emergency key coverage.
On a single door, when handling Adams Rite MS1850S in the case of renovation, this outlet device is a very good alternative to electric strike.In most cases, you can keep the MS locked and add an exit device.The existing aluminum doors may be challenging to power on, unless you have a hidden vertical rod outlet device that can be converted into an electrified.
If you have an MS1850S Adams dead bolt on one side and flush bolt on the other, the architect\'s intention is most likely to unlock the latch and flush bolt when the building is occupied.If we use flush bolts to make the affected leaves inactive leaves so that we can install electric shocks in them and latch them on the active leaves, we will change the double open to single open.The fire captain may not like this.In this case, we can install a double induction lock to handle its inherent outlet and safety issues, or we can install a surface vertical rod outlet device with an electric pin retracement or an electric trim.
There is a problem with the surface vertical rod set, because the exposed rods will beat and then they will not work properly.If there is a hidden vertical rod device, but there is no electrified kit available for renovation, they can be released by electric shock.However, the result is a door that feels weak even when locked.
Between the swingsDuring the strike, the room and the fact that only the top of the door is locked, a person who tries to open the door may be able to pull the bottom of the door out of 6 or 8 inch.Results not goodtomr@rubecom.Aluminum doors and frames are manufactured by many manufacturers.When installing and transforming hardware, be prepared for surprises.
Sometimes there will be an extra rib inside the frame, occupying the space for the electric shock.When installing the induction lock, be careful with the aluminum door that is combined with the threaded rod inside the horizontal top rail, just where the sex nut of the mag locking sub should go.It is best to be good at observation and walk slowly and carefully.
