Adams Rite Storefront Locks

Adams Rite Storefront Locks

Adams Rite Storefront Locks are found in most aluminum-style storefront doors. They all come with very similar problems, most of which are very easy to solve. For instance, when the cylinders just suddenly start rejecting keys or not releasing the keys  There are only a few different styles of Adams Rite locks and they come in similar back sets.

Firstly the deadbolt

To clarify here are a few of the problems with storefront locks:

  • The mortise cylinder spins freely
  • The lock cylinder doesn’t turn far enough to engage the lock
  • Mortise cylinder falls out
  • Bolt drops after locked
  • Keys get stuck in these locks
