Description
Advanced Access Control for Aluminium Doors
Commercial building entrances face constant foot traffic and intense daily strain. Managing security without slowing down staff, visitors, and deliveries is often a difficult balance. Traditional mechanical locks demand manual key turns for every entry, which creates bottlenecks at reception desks and service doors. When you connect an entrance to a keypad, card reader, or intercom, you need an electro-mechanical strike that releases cleanly every single time without compromising physical resistance.
The Adams Rite 7101-310-628 Electric Release Radius Forend Alum Door 12V Dc provides a dependable, high-performance solution engineered specifically for narrow stile aluminium door sections. Designed to interface seamlessly with Adams Rite 4700 series deadlatches, this electric strike replaces the standard mechanical strike plate in the door frame. It converts standard manual latching hardware into an automated, electrically controlled access point that unlocks instantly when an authorised pulse is received.
Manufactured to rigorous commercial standards, this unit handles heavy duty use across office complexes, schools, healthcare centres, and retail units. Its compact profile fits neatly inside slim aluminium jambs, while the radius faceplate matches curved frame sections perfectly. By integrating this electric strike into your entry systems, you gain full remote control over your access doors while keeping your premises properly shielded against forced entry.
Stage by Stage Architectural Implementation
Stage 1 Aluminium Door Preparation
Installation begins with preparing the aluminium door jamb to accept the electric release body. The engineer cuts a precise mortice pocket into the frame using standard industry templates. Because aluminium sections often feature curved profiles, the radius forend shape ensures a clean, factory-grade finish without unsightly gaps.
Stage 2 Electrical Routing and Wiring
Low-voltage wiring runs through the hollow frame cavity directly to the strike position. The unit operates on a steady 12V DC power feed from your dedicated access power supply. Quality wiring ensures minimal voltage drop over long runs, ensuring the solenoid operates crisply whenever triggered by an access credential.
Stage 3 Deadlatch Alignment and Engagement
The release works hand in hand with compatible Adams Rite mechanical latch mechanisms. Careful alignment ensures the latch bolt glides smoothly into the keeper pocket. An auxiliary bolt stop prevents the latch from deadlocking on the release keeper, ensuring instant unlatching the moment power is applied.
Stage 4 Access Controller Integration
The final step links the strike circuit to your central access controller, push to exit buttons, or intercom relays. When a valid token is scanned, the controller energises the strike. The internal jaw pivots open, allowing users to pull or push the door open without turning any mechanical handles.
Operating Principle and Security
The Adams Rite 7101-310-628 electric release is built using hardened internal components designed to resist significant physical force. Its compact jaw mechanism holds the deadlatch securely in place until an electric signal releases the internal blocking lever. This design maintains high structural security along the door perimeter while giving your facilities staff smooth, automated traffic management throughout working hours.

Installation and Maintenance Advice
To ensure long service life and reliable release operation, correct mechanical alignment between the door and frame is essential. The deadlatch latch bolt must enter the strike opening without rubbing against the top or bottom of the keeper cavity. If the door sags on its hinges, the bolt can bind against the release jaw, causing unnecessary strain on the internal solenoid.
Routine maintenance should include checking the mounting screws for tightness and cleaning out any accumulated dust or metal shavings from the keeper pocket. Never lubricate the internal release mechanism with thick grease or sticky oils, as these collect dirt and can cause internal sticking. A small application of light dry graphite or specialist electrical release lubricant once a year keeps moving components running smoothly.
