Adams Rite 8801EL36-24 Electric Exit Device 36in 628 24V

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8801EL36-24 is an electric exit device designed for commercial door applications requiring both panic egress and electrified access control. Built for a 36-inch door, this unit operates on 24 volts and ships in a 628 finish (satin aluminum). Exit devices in this class allow a door to be held secure from the outside while permitting free egress from the inside via a push bar or touchpad. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and access control technicians are the typical installers. The 24-volt input integrates with standard low-voltage access control panels, electric strikes, and magnetic lock systems found in commercial facilities.

This exit device is suited for commercial and institutional buildings where code-compliant panic egress is required alongside electrified entry control. Typical applications include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces where the door must allow free exit at all times while permitting controlled or monitored entry. The 628 satin aluminum finish is a common specification in commercial hardware schedules and coordinates with standard aluminum storefront and hollow metal door frames.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or access control professional familiar with ANSI door prep standards and local building codes. Disconnect all power to the access control panel before making low-voltage wiring connections. Verify door prep dimensions and backset requirements before mounting. Consult applicable fire and life safety codes to confirm that the egress function remains unobstructed at all times after installation.
