HOLLOW

WOOD
GRADE 1
E8231
4920AN Heavy Duty Deadlatch provides flexible traffic
control and easy installation for wood or hollow metal doors.
Function
For hollow metal or wood doors prepared for hardware according to the
specifications of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 4920AN
Heavy Duty Deadlatches provide precise traffic control. A key-controlled bolt
hold-back feature allows a door to free-swing part of the day and exit-only
when the bolt is free to latch. This allows a “locked” entrance to be used as an
exit by customers or visitors already in the building. Interchangeable, without
door modification, with any MS1850SN Deadlock of same faceplate shape
and backset. Replaces 4520 and 4720 ANSI Deadlatches. 1-3/4" minimum
door thickness required.

Narrow stile doors require a trim ring to fill the gap remaining between the cylinder
shoulder and stile when a standard mortise cylinder is used. If the security of the
hardened steel Adams Rite MS4043 Cylinder Guard is not required, this ring may be
simply a length of 1.171 I.D. tubing. Its length varies depending on door thickness or
cylinder make and number of pins. The specific length required can be quickly
determined by the following formula:
