Adams Rite: The Standard for Aluminum Storefront Hardware

If you're working on a glass entrance for a retail shop, office complex, or restaurant, you're likely working with Adams Rite. Known for the legendary MS1850S Maximum Security Deadlock and the 4510 series deadlatches, Adams Rite is the hardware that secures the world's aluminum storefronts. At Lock Depot, we don't just sell the locks; we stock the cylinders, faceplates, and strikes needed for a complete install.

We specialize in the electrified solutions that pros need for modern access control, including the 7400 Series electric strikes and the Steel Hawk 4300 electrified deadlatch, which allows you to upgrade a mechanical door to electronic access without cutting a new strike prep. We carry multiple finishes, including 628 (Satin Aluminum) and 313 (Dark Bronze), to match any storefront extrusion.

PRO TIP: Measuring Backset on Storefronts

Storefront backsets are unforgiving. Unlike residential locks, Adams Rite hardware usually comes in 31/32", 1-1/8", or 1-1/2" backsets. A 1/8" mistake means the lock won't clear the glass or the strike won't line up. Always measure from the center of the cylinder hole to the edge of the door before ordering your MS Deadlock replacement.

All Adams Rite products are brand new with the full factory warranty. Order by 2 PM EST for same-day shipping.

Adams Rite FAQ

Can I replace an MS188+ deadbolt with a 4510 deadlatch?

Yes, they share the same door prep. This is a common swap when a business wants to move from a manual "flip-turn" bolt to a latch that works with a paddle or handle.

What does 'Maximum Security' mean in the MS Series?

The MS deadbolt uses a laminated steel bolt that can withstand massive pry-force, specifically designed to bridge the gap between the door and the jamb on aluminum stiles.

Do Adams Rite strikes come with the faceplates?

Most of our 7400 series strikes include a universal faceplate kit, but always check the listing to ensure it matches your jamb (Radius, Flat, or 4-point).

Is the Steel Hawk 4300 a direct replacement for the 4510?

Yes. It is designed to be a "no-cut" electrified solution for doors already prepped for a 4510 or 4900 series latch.

How do I choose the right cam for my mortise cylinder?

Adams Rite hardware requires an 8500-Series MS Cam on the back of your mortise cylinder to operate the drive mechanism.
