Adams Rite Manufacturing Co. Steel Hawk 4300

The Steel Hawk 4300 from Adams Rite Manufacturing Co. allows electric locks to be installed in any aluminum entrance door, even those not electrified. Its two-way design allows it to adapt to any door without modifications, and the Steel Hawk retrofits to 4900/4500/4700 Adams Rite deadlatches (using the same strike). It is compatible with existing handles, paddles, and levers, adapts to 12V, 16V, and 24V DC, and exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 requirements. A locked-unlocked status monitor switch is optional, and the latch is made of steel with stainless steel latchbolts. steel-hawk.com
