Adams Rite 4591M-02-628 Exit Device Paddle Switch

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 4591M-02-628 is a paddle switch assembly used in commercial exit device applications. It serves as the actuating mechanism that triggers the latch or locking hardware when pushed, allowing egress through a door equipped with an exit device. This component is sold as an individual unit and is typically installed or replaced by a licensed locksmith, door hardware technician, or commercial contractor performing service or retrofit work on exit hardware systems.

This paddle switch is suited for commercial door applications where exit devices and push-button egress hardware are specified. It fits into installations where the existing paddle or actuation switch has worn, broken, or failed and requires a like-for-like replacement. The 628 finish designation indicates a satin aluminum anodized finish, which is a common specification in commercial building hardware.
