Adams Rite 8233LR36 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8233LR36 is a surface-mounted vertical rod exit device with electric latch retraction, designed for controlled egress on commercial and institutional doors. Surface vertical rod exit devices secure both the top and bottom of a door leaf, engaging strikes at the head and floor simultaneously when the crossbar is depressed. The electric latch retraction feature allows the latch to be held in the retracted position via an electrical signal, enabling remote access control integration without a separate electric strike. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed door hardware professionals or commercial locksmiths.

Surface vertical rod exit devices with electric latch retraction are typically installed on metal or wood commercial doors in applications requiring life-safety egress compliance, such as stairwells, corridors, and assembly occupancy exits. The electric latch retraction function makes this device well suited for access-controlled openings where the latch must release on command from a control panel, card reader, or timer-based system. This is a single-door device sold as one unit per package.
