Description
Seamless Access Control for Commercial Aluminium Doors
Managing footfall while maintaining robust building security presents a constant challenge for modern commercial properties. Standard mechanical latching provides physical protection, but it creates logistical hurdles when you need to grant immediate entry to authorised staff or scheduled visitors. Fitting the Adams Rite 7100-310-628 Electric Release Alum Door 12V Dc allows property managers, facilities teams, and locksmiths to introduce seamless electronic access control without altering existing aluminium framing or replacing compatible mortice latches.
Engineered specifically to pair with narrow stile aluminium sections, this electric strike replaces the standard mechanical frame lip. When an electrical pulse is triggered from a keypad, fob reader, intercom, or push button, the internal mechanism releases the latch bolt remotely. This action eliminates the need for manual key turning during busy operational hours while keeping the door firmly secured against unauthorised entry at all other times.
Manufactured to rigorous commercial standards, the unit provides long lasting durability in high traffic environments such as commercial offices, retail outlets, educational buildings, and public health facilities. The clear anodised satin aluminium finish blends naturally with contemporary architectural ironmongery, delivering a tidy installation that safeguards both aesthetics and everyday physical security.
Key Features and Everyday Advantages
Purpose Built for Narrow Stile Profiles
Aluminium shopfronts and commercial entrance doors feature slender profiles that cannot house oversized locking bodies. The compact profile of this unit sits comfortably within standard narrow jamb preparations, making it the industry standard retrofit choice across the UK.
Dependable 12V DC Low Voltage Operation
Running on stable 12V direct current, the strike integrates seamlessly with modern power supplies, keypad entry units, video intercoms, and digital access controllers. Continuous duty engineering ensures dependable performance without excessive heat generation.
Durable Clear Anodised Faceplate
Finished in architectural code 628 satin aluminium, the outer faceplate matches natural anodised profiles cleanly. The treatment resists environmental tarnish, surface scratches, and commercial cleaning materials over years of constant footfall.
Step by Step Implementation Pipeline
Stage 1 Frame Preparation
Assess your aluminium door frame and verify latch alignment. Create the standard mortice opening inside the jamb using the supplied fixing tabs, securing tidy wire routing back to your central power supply.
Stage 2 Electrical Connection
Connect the low voltage leads to your 12V DC access control system. Confirm that polarity is accurate and that your remote control relays, timers, or wall mounted readers actuate the internal solenoid cleanly.
Stage 3 Mechanical Mounting
Fasten the strike body and clear anodised faceplate squarely to the frame. Check that the door latch glides across the release jaw without catching or requiring unnecessary force when the door swings shut.
Stage 4 Testing and Commissioning
Perform functional checks under both held and momentary release modes. Ensure the latch re-engages securely when current drops, leaving the door physically closed and safe against unauthorised external entry.

Installation Advice and Best Practices
When fitting the Adams Rite 7100-310-628 Electric Release Alum Door 12V Dc, accurate alignment between the door leaf and frame remains essential. Electric release strikes rely on free movement of the internal jaw. If the door leaf sags or binds, side load pressure can prevent the release mechanism from discharging smoothly when energised.
We recommend checking door pivot bearings or continuous hinges prior to installation. Replacing worn pivots ensures the latch bolt falls centrally into the electric strike jaw every time the door swings closed. In addition, always run high quality low voltage cabling capable of delivering consistent current, preventing voltage drops over longer wire runs between your power cabinet and entrance door.
Routine maintenance is minimal. Periodically inspect the strike jaw for airborne dirt, grit, or excess grease, wiping the internal pocket clean with a dry cloth. Never spray heavy oil lubricants into the release body, as wet residues attract dirt and will impair electrical components over time.
