Adams Rite 4300-3M-202-335 Steel Hawk Deadlatch

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 4300-3M-202-335 is a Steel Hawk deadlatch designed for commercial door applications. A deadlatch provides positive latching with anti-shim security, preventing the latch bolt from being retracted by sliding a tool between the door and frame. This hardware is typically installed in aluminum stile doors and frames common in commercial and light-industrial settings. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and general contractors are the primary trades who work with this product.

The Steel Hawk 4300 series deadlatch is a widely recognized solution for narrow-stile aluminum door applications found in storefronts, office buildings, and similar commercial construction. It is suited for use where a reliable, self-latching mechanism is required without the need for a full deadbolt assembly. This unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial door hardware codes and standards.

Disengage any electric strike or access control power to the door before beginning work. Follow the manufacturer installation template and local building code requirements for proper mortise cutout dimensions and fastener placement.
