Adams Rite

Adams Rite is the recognised authority on narrow-stile door hardware. Since the launch of the MS® Maximum Security deadlock in 1955, Adams Rite has been the dominant supplier of locks, latches, and hardware for aluminium-framed doors — the slimline commercial doors found in shopfronts, office entrances, schools, and commercial buildings across the UK.

Narrow-stile aluminium doors present a specific challenge: the stile is too narrow to accommodate standard mortice locks. Adams Rite engineered solutions specifically for this profile, and their products have become the industry standard — the "MS prep" — that glazing manufacturers and door fabricators design around. Adams Rite is now part of the ASSA ABLOY Group.

We stock MS series deadlocks and deadlatches, transom closers, levers and thumbturns, flush bolts, cylinders and strikes, and panic hardware for aluminium doors. If you're replacing a lock on an aluminium door and need help identifying the correct Adams Rite product, a part number or photograph of the existing lock is the fastest way to find the right match.
