Adams Rite, part of the ASSA ABLOY Group known for its narrow stile aluminium hardware, has introduced notable improvements to its 4300 Steel Hawk® Electrified Deadlatch. These refinements aim to integrate electronic access control more seamlessly into existing door openings while offering enhanced performance on doors that may experience sag, misalignment, or wear over time.
The updated version of the 4300 Steel Hawk includes a re-engineered latch assembly alongside internal enhancements that lower the opening force, ensuring consistent operation even under challenging door conditions. These advancements are designed to maintain ease of use and ensure dependable security, eliminating the need for expensive door or frame replacements.
Enhancing door security performance

The enhanced 4300 Steel Hawk was designed to accommodate the realities of aging storefront openings while providing the reliability, security, and retrofit simplicity our customers expect."
In line with Adams Rite's dedication to innovation, the 4300 Steel Hawk supports security professionals, locksmiths, and facility managers in updating existing storefronts effectively. It helps prolong the lifespan of doors and boosts their security performance. The product offers a feasible and cost-effective upgrade for commercial facilities, particularly useful in addressing door misalignment or transitioning from mechanical to electronic access control systems.
