Adams Rite 8800EL48-US32D-24 Rim Exit Device

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8800EL48-US32D-24 is a rim exit device designed for controlled egress on commercial and institutional doors. Rim exit devices mount directly to the face of the door and allow occupants to exit quickly by pressing a crossbar or touchpad, while also supporting access control integration through electric latch retraction. The 24-volt designation indicates 24-volt electrical operation for the latch retraction function. The US32D finish denotes a satin stainless steel appearance, a standard commercial specification finish. This device is installed by commercial door hardware technicians and locksmiths in facilities where life-safety egress compliance is required.

Rim exit devices in this category are used on single doors in commercial, institutional, and light industrial settings. Typical applications include offices, schools, hospitals, retail facilities, and any occupancy where building codes require panic or fire exit hardware on egress doors. The electric latch retraction feature supports integration with access control panels, door controllers, and security systems operating on 24-volt low-voltage circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed commercial door hardware technician or qualified locksmith familiar with life-safety egress requirements. Disconnect power to the access control system and verify the door is secure before mounting. Verify local building and fire codes, including IBC and NFPA 101 requirements, for panic and fire exit hardware compliance before installation. Do not modify the device housing or electrical components, as doing so may void listings and violate egress code requirements.
