    Arm-A-Dor: Heavy-Duty Protection for High-Risk Exit Doors

    For retail and warehouse back doors, a standard panic bar often isn't enough. Arm-A-Dor is the "Maximum Security" solution, combining a heavy-duty panic bar with an automatic relocking deadbolt and an optional 95dB alarm. At Lock Depot, we stock Arm-A-Dor for businesses that need to meet life-safety codes while stopping "internal shrinkage" and back-door break-ins.

    We carry the A101 Series, which is specifically designed to withstand the "crowbar and sledgehammer" attacks common in retail environments. Arm-A-Dor hardware is rugged, easy to install, and provides a clear visual deterrent to anyone looking for a weak point in your building's perimeter.

    PRO TIP: The "Auto-Relock" Security

    The genius of Arm-A-Dor is the Automatic Relock feature. Many employees might "prop" a back door open for a break, but Arm-A-Dor is designed to ensure that once the door closes, it is fully deadbolted and secure without needing a key. It removes the human error from your nightly security routine.

    Arm-A-Dor exit hardware ships from our warehouses across America. Retail security specialists with alarm integration support.

    Arm-A-Dor FAQ

    How does Arm-A-Dor differ from a standard panic bar?

    A standard panic bar simply latches the door. Arm-A-Dor combines a heavy-duty push bar with an automatic relocking deadbolt and an optional 95dB alarm. When the door closes, the deadbolt engages automatically without needing a key, providing significantly more security against forced re-entry.

    Is Arm-A-Dor compliant with fire and life-safety codes?

    Yes. Arm-A-Dor exit devices are designed to meet life-safety requirements. The push bar allows free egress in an emergency while the automatic relock feature secures the door after each use. Fire-rated models like the A102 are UL listed for use on fire-rated openings.

    Can the alarm be disabled on an Arm-A-Dor unit?

    Yes. The alarm is an optional add-on feature. You can order the A101-002 model which includes the deadbolt security without the alarm siren. You can also add or remove the alarm kit after installation, giving you flexibility as your security needs change.
