Adams Rite 8802EL48-12 Rim Exit Device 48 Inch 12V

Product Description

The ADAMS RITE 8802EL48-12 is a rim exit device designed for 48-inch door applications requiring electric latch retraction at 12 volts DC. Rim exit devices mount directly to the face of a door and allow occupants to exit quickly by pushing on the crossbar, making them a standard component in commercial and institutional egress systems. This unit features a dark bronze finish suited for applications where the hardware finish must coordinate with door and frame hardware. It is typically installed by licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or commercial general contractors working to code-compliant egress requirements.

The 8802EL48-12 is intended for commercial door applications where electric latch retraction is required for access control integration. The 12-volt DC operation allows this device to be tied into low-voltage access control panels, electric strikes, or building security systems. The dark bronze finish makes it appropriate for facilities where aesthetic consistency with other hardware is required, such as schools, office buildings, retail locations, and institutional facilities.

• Sized for 48-inch door width for wide single-door or narrow double-door applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation rim exit device for 48-inch commercial doors requiring 12-volt DC electric latch retraction in access-controlled egress applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with ANSI and IBC egress requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control system before wiring the electric latch retraction function. Verify door prep, backset, and strike compatibility before mounting. Consult local building codes and the Authority Having Jurisdiction to confirm the device meets egress compliance requirements for the specific occupancy type.
