Adams Rite 8801-30 Rim Exit Device

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8801-30 is a rim-mounted exit device designed for commercial and institutional door applications. Rim exit devices mount directly to the surface of the door and engage a strike on the frame, providing reliable one-motion egress in compliance with life safety code requirements. The 8801-30 is specified on single-door installations where a surface-mounted panic hardware solution is required. Locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and commercial contractors are the primary tradespeople who specify, supply, and install this hardware.

Rim exit devices are used in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies where building codes mandate panic or fire exit hardware on designated egress doors. The 8801-30 is suited for single-door applications where a rim-style device is preferred or specified by the authority having jurisdiction. Installation typically occurs on hollow metal or aluminum-framed doors in interior or vestibule exit pathways.

Installation Notes

Installation of exit devices should be performed by a licensed door hardware specialist or qualified commercial contractor familiar with ANSI, BHMA, and applicable local building code requirements. Verify that the door and frame are properly prepped and that the strike is correctly positioned before final mounting. Disengage all power to any electrified components and ensure the door is secured before beginning work. Do not modify the device housing or internal mechanism, as alterations may void listings and compromise code compliance.
