Adams Rite 4512-36-201-313 Dead Latch Bevel Face

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 4512-36-201-313 is a dead latch with a bevel face, designed for commercial door applications where positive latching and security are required. Dead latches use a plunger mechanism that automatically deadlocks the latch bolt when the door closes, preventing the bolt from being pushed back without turning the handle or knob. This type of hardware is commonly installed in aluminum-frame storefront doors and hollow metal doors by commercial locksmiths and door hardware installers.

This dead latch bevel face is suited for commercial and light industrial door installations where a bevel-face latch configuration is required. The bevel face profile allows the latch to engage smoothly with the strike plate as the door swings closed, making it appropriate for doors with a slight angle or bevel on the latch-side edge. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Dead latch mechanism automatically deadlocks on door closure to resist unauthorized bolt manipulation
• Bevel face profile for smooth strike engagement on angled door edges
• Designed for commercial door hardware applications including storefront and hollow metal doors
• Sold individually as a single unit replacement component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement dead latch for commercial door hardware assemblies requiring a bevel face configuration. Confirm door preparation, backset, and face dimensions match existing hardware before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial latching mechanisms. Ensure the door is secured in a stable position and all tension is relieved before removing existing hardware. Verify that the latch backset, face dimensions, and hand of the door are correct before final installation. Local building codes may govern hardware requirements for commercial egress doors.
