Provide dependable mechanical security in compact narrow-stile door applications with the Adams Rite 4070 Series Short Throw Deadbolt.

Designed for installations where a conventional long-throw Adams Rite MS® Deadlock cannot be accommodated, the smaller 4070 Series provides a conventionally projecting deadbolt with a 5/8" throw while fitting within limited narrow-stile space.

The lock operates with a simple 180° turn of the key or thumbturn and is available in multiple backsets and faceplate configurations for commercial aluminum-door applications.

Short Throw Deadbolt

The 4070 is designed specifically for openings where there is not enough stile depth or clearance for a traditional long-throw MS® deadlock.

It provides one of the longest practical conventional projected-bolt throws available within this compact narrow-stile format.

This makes it useful for:

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Narrow-stile entrances

• Retrofit applications

• Commercial openings with limited lock-case clearance

5/8" Bolt Throw

The projected bolt measures approximately:

5/8" x 1-1/4"

with a:

5/8" Throw

Unlike an MS® pivot or hookbolt, the 4070 uses a conventional straight projecting-bolt action.

180° Operation

A:

180° turn of the key or thumbturn

projects or retracts the deadbolt.

This means the lock requires only one-half turn for full operation.

The lock can accept compatible operating cylinders or thumbturns from:

• One side

• Both sides

depending on the required configuration.

Backset Options

The 4070 Series is available with:

• 7/8" Backset

• 31/32" Backset

• 1-1/8" Backset

These are the only standard backset options listed by Adams Rite.

Always verify the existing door preparation before ordering.

Special 4070 Cylinder Cam Required

Although the 4070 accepts a standard-size mortise cylinder, it requires a special cam configuration.

Cylinder Size

Length: 1"
Diameter: 1-5/32"

Required Cam

The 4070 requires a modified cam measuring approximately:

.850" from the center of the cylinder to the end of the cam / tailpiece

A standard MS® cam should not automatically be assumed compatible.

Compatible cylinders and thumbturns can be ordered with the proper 4070 cam configuration.

Common Adams Rite options include:

• 4036 Mortise Cylinder

• 4066 Thumbturn

when supplied with the proper 4070 cam.

Lock Case

The lock case measures approximately:

Width: 1"
Height: 6"

Case depth varies depending on the selected backset.

Construction

Material: Steel
Finish: Corrosion-resistant plating

Faceplate

The standard faceplate measures approximately:

1" x 5-9/16"

Several faceplate configurations are available.

4070 – Flat Faceplate

Designed for compatible flat-edge door preparations.

4071 – Radius Faceplate

Designed for compatible radius-edge door preparations.

4072 – Beveled Faceplate

Designed for beveled door-edge applications.

The beveled version requires the correct handing.

4073-XX-IB

Lock body supplied:

Without Faceplate / Without Strike Plate

for applicable special-order installations.

Handing

Flat & Radius Faceplates

Generally non-handed.

Beveled Faceplate

The 4072 requires handing selection:

• LH / RHR

• RH / LHR

Verify door handing before ordering a beveled-faceplate model.

Strike Configuration

Metal Jamb Applications

For metal frame installations, a properly prepared slot in the jamb typically serves as the strike.

A separate strike plate is therefore not included as standard.

Wood Applications

The optional:

Adams Rite 4170 Trim Strike

is available separately for compatible wood-frame installations.

Not for Bottom Rail Installation

The 4070 Series is specifically not designed for bottom-rail installation.

For an application requiring a bottom-rail deadbolt, select an Adams Rite product specifically designed for that purpose.

Finish Options

Current standard finish options include:

• 628 – Clear Anodized Aluminum

• 313 – Dark Bronze Anodized

• 335 – Black Anodized

Finish availability may depend on the selected faceplate configuration.

Common Applications

Ideal for:

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Narrow-stile aluminum doors

• Retail entrances

• Office buildings

• Commercial facilities

• Schools

• Institutional buildings

• Interior commercial entrances

• Retrofit lock applications
